Interview for DEATHTHRASHER MAGAZINE by ARMANDO MUTILATOR : 

DT: When and why the band was formed?.
Joe:
The band was formed in 1997. Only 2 members from the original line up are still in the band (the 2 guitarists). David (Bass) and Arnaud (drums) came later in the band. The actual line up has now found stability since 1999. The reason why we founded NO-LOKOST is the same than for any other band...we just like metal!!!

DT:
Tell us about the Underground Scene in Belgium.
Arnaud:
Since many years we see the emergence of many good formations. In the north of the country, the music is rather more sustained; many organizations and band helps. In the south, lots of bands but no support. In general, groups still play inside Belgium and don't export their music very often

DT:
Why the name of NO - LOKOST?.
Joe:
In fact at the beginning the band was called "DARKSIDE", but because of a lack of originality we decided to change it. Our first singer suggested "Holocaust"...but to avoid relationship with all the neo nazi stuff we decided to chose the opposite: NO-LOKOST

DT: Your current line -up?.
Joe :
FRED CRISTINELLI: Guitar and vocals
JOE JUNGERS: Guitar
DAVID BRANCALEONI: Bass
ARNAUD VANSTEENKISTE: drums


DT:
Youre fave beer?.
Joe:
JUPILER (belgian pils)...but 2 members NEVER drink alcohol! Can you believe that??? ;-)

DT:
Your best band from ever?.
Arnaud:
I love many, many bands in different styles, but my favourite band stay GOJIRA, a very original French band: so powerful!!!!
Joe: for me it's absolutely impossible to pick one! I'm always changing!

DT:
Do you like the old Heavy Metal?.
Arnaud:
Yeah, sure, great bands like IRON MAIDEN or JUDAS PRIEST, ... should not be missed!
Joe :
Personally it's not favorite kind of Metal, but I totally respect it. I also like some great songs, but I can't say I like an entire album!

DT:
Are you friends with NICKY NEYAH?.
Joe :
Well we were close once but there were some misunderstandings from both parts, so we don't see each other anymore.

DT:
What do you think about Satanism?.
Arnaud:
Too much bands use Satanism to try to sell their stuff; no many real convictions. For me is more a curiosity than anything else.
Joe:
I simply don't care about any religion...so!

DT: Do you play PS2?.
Joe:
...euh...about 6 hours a day! I'm working in a video shop!
Arnaud:
Yesss of course; GTA, TEKKEN

DT:
Do you like Black Metal?.
Joe:
Yeah!!! Of course. My favorite bands are DIMMU BORGIR, EMPEROR, IMMORTAL, CRADLE OF FILTH. Great bands, great song writers
Arnaud:
Yes very much I love so much bands like EMPEROR, DIMMU BORGIR, IMMORTAL, HECATE ENTHRONED, BURZUM, MARDUK, ENTHRONED, MAYHEM, COVENANT, ....

DT:
Are you crazy for cocaine JOE?.
Joe:
Absolutely not...you won't find any drug addicted in the band!

DT:
Do you like bands like THE EXPLOITED, RAMONES, THE CLASH and CHAOS UK?.
Joe :
I only know these bands by their name...but I know their music would probably be uninteresting for me...
Arnaud:
I don't know these bands enough to say anything about them. Just heard some songs. The punk music is not my favourite kind of listening but sometimes it's cool!

DT:
What do you think about OSAMA BIN LADEN?.
Joe :
He's a guy who worked for CIA in the past...and learned well his lesson by the best teachers...USA! He probably has done less victims than BUSH did! But he's an asshole anyway!
Arnaud:
A worldwide ballsbreaker who is in the same bag than his enemies. I'm fed up with this religious mania. Can we hear something different in the breaking news? 

DT: Do you have a dog named PIKACHU?.
Joe :
We let some blank answers because we simply didn't know what to asnwer!

DT:
Do you drink MILO with blood?.
Joe :

Arnaud:

Joe :
Does it really matter? As long as my girlfriend is satisfied...I won't change anything!

Joe:
it's our first Demo CD recorded after only few months. The line-up was almost totally different except for the guitars. That was our first experience.

DT:
GARY HOLT or KIRK HAMMET?.
Joe :
KIRK HAMMET is the guitarist like the most ... so I definitely say KIRK! He's not the most technical, but what a huge feeling, and what a great melody in his leads!

I like EXODUS, but The play of KIRK HAMMET Kick ass!!!!

DT: Your musical productions?.

Welcome to the world (97)
Katharsis (01)
The real human soul (04)

Not as much as you are ARMANDO.

Many good bands come from South America; like KRISIUN, SEPULTURA, EMINENCE, ENTE, ... Lot of brutal ones and very technical! Amazing musicians...

one of my favorite movie is Bowling for columbine...so guess what my answer is!

Yes we have...you can order via our websites...there's a picture of them!

DT:
Do you prefer EMPTINESS or CELEBRANT?.

Both are very good bands, but I prefer EMPTINESS; it's more original and powerful. I saw the 2 bands live, and I was more impressed by EMPTINESS one more time, and they're very cool guys!
