1.)     Welcome to this interview Chas, how things are going on in U.S.?

Things are ok here in the states except in New York but that is almost over.

2.) First of all I want to know what is your aim while creating this music?

Summon that you have heard in the past was written by me and Xaphan what we were 
aiming for was sick Satanic metal. Which I think we have achieved. The next 
album is going to be the sickest.

3.) Can you mention some bands who influence SUMMON from the start?

Well I have been into Bathory, Venom, Blasphemy, Beherit, old Grave, Hypocrisy, 
too many to mention.  

4.) Would you agree with me if i will tell you that SUMMON'S music style is 
belong to the new age of death metal?

I agree with you if it can be accepted in the world there are so many trendy 
fucking bands in the world that people love like KORN and Shit Biscuit man they 
suck. The world is not ready for death metal or Black Metal to be on the radio 
and at every club
 
5.) Do you think it is necessary for a death metal band to have blasphemous 
lyrics?

I dont think it is necessary but I enjoy them more, instead of kill your mother 
rape your dog. (Sorry Fetus) he he he he...

6.) Why is it that almost of your compositions can only consumed 2-3 minutes? Do 
you think it's one of the reasons that makes you differ from other bands?

Our songs are short because they are so fast the drums are faster than almost 
any drummer I have heard well that was then and this is now wait till you here 
new Summon material

7.) Ok, can you share to us your ideas from the album "No Thoughts from the Sky 
"?

No Thoughts from the Sky well I have no thoughts of it I hate it, it is not 
Summon at all. This album was written by 4 guitar players, that no longer jam 
with us. Why because that is not our style. We are back to a three piece, and I 
think this is where it will stay. We will to a couple of songs from no thoughts 
to show how they should have been played. I 

8.) When can we expect for a new release?
We are entering the studio in the beginning of May 2002 to record a new full 
length on Moribund Records.

9.) As of now, do you have a high expectations from SUMMON? I mean, do you 
expect that SUMMON could be popular as SLAYER, MORBID ANGEL etc?

I dont know if Summon will be that popular it is hard to get out by your self 
we will see what happens I would love for this to happened oh well we might not 
be as popular but we still can play shows with them.

10.) Is it important for a band to be open minded to all kinds of metal? What do 
you think?
II think it is important to be open minded for sure I listen to classic rock 
this is what I was brought up on I like music period except this new rap core 
shit if you are going to rap be hard core as fuck not this jump around week shit 

11.) How about listening into black metal?

I love Black metal more than Death Metal. There is so much more feeling in it 
less groove, but I listen to both .

12.) Can you name some bands which do you believe that has qualifications of 
being true in their music?
Old Mayhem Impaled Nazarene (sick fuckers) Dark Throne to many to list.
 

13.) Do you think the bands income can support for your daily needs? 

The band can take care of its self we need a tour so anybody wants to help BOOK 
IT. We do mini tours we need a big one with a big band.

 

14.) Anyway, how do the guys in summon earn for living?

I am a mason tender, Xaphan is a tattoo artist and Josh is a carpenter.

15.)Who's xaphan anyway , is he the one who plays also from HATEPLOW and KULT OV
AZAZEL ?

Xaphan has always been in Summon also Lucifers Hammer from MI and Masochist

16.) why he makes a lot of bands ? where did he really belong ?

Xaphan and I started Summon years ago he belongs in Hell but we will keep
him for now!

17.) are you familiar with these u.s. black metal bands like IN AETERNUM , THY
INFERNAL AND THORNSPAWN? what's your comments about this bands since you've
said that you're one of those  black metal legends in u.s.?

Thornspawn was on Baphomet records with us not sure f they still are I like
the band Thy infernal is Moribund rec where we just signed and they are
fucking brutal as far as the origional US black metal bands we played in
Masochist and there was only a few
black metal bands in the us then, which were Profanatica and Absu this was
early 90's

18.)i think it's time to close this interview, thanks for this little bit 
information about 
SUMMON and I'm looking forward for your success

Thanks for the interview and hope you enjoy the new Summon For all the fake 
trendy black metal fucks out there the new Summon will destroy. We were one of 
the originators black metal scene (USA) and we shall rise again.
