Inrerviewed by Jeff with Jon Bonessi (on bass guitar)
 
 
Brutal greetings to all of the NEGATIVE REACTION camp!!!
1.) NEGATIVE REACTION have been around for a while now in the metal scene gaining many fans from all over the globe. Please give us 
the histoy behind NEGATIVE REACTION and at what time did you join the band since being a fairly new member?
I joined the band a little over a year ago, but they've been around since the early nineties, we were originally  NYHC band 
but over the years slowed waaaaay down into what you hear today, the first full length came out in 1996 on gametwo 
called endofyorerror a few 7" and there have been two more full lengths various comps and our most recent split with 
rammesses (ex electric wizard).
 
 
2.) What is your definition of doom/sludge metal,and how did NEGATIVE REACTION develop your own style/sound out of the 
combination of the two genres?
sludge is based on just tune low and play slow, we definitely still have the HC influence just alot slower vocals are usually screamed 
and we just play fucking loud as all hell.
 
 
3.) How did NEGATIVE REACTION get signed with Psychedoomelic Records?
we were on a comp for the psychedelic fanzine and mark who ran that zine started the label and the rest is history.
4.) What is the process that NEGATIVE REACTION use in your song writing process? What are your inspirations?
most of the songs come from jams, we fuck around for hours at practice until something sticks, ken-e bones is a 
nazi when it comes to songwriting so after weeks of arguing and changing shit we usually end up with a damn heavy song.
 
 
5.) What bands have you been listening to as of recently? What are some of your favorites in the doom metal genre?
ive been listening to alot of electric wizard, warzone, blood for blood, fistula and bongzilla, my favorites in the scene are definitely, 
sleep and eyehategod, neurosis too many to name.
 
 
6.) Where do you see yourself with NEGATIVE REACTION in the next few years or so?
i just wanna keep putting out the most miserable music possible, tour all over and cause trouble all over the world.
 
 
7.) Has NEGATIVE REACTION ever recorded any cover songs? If not then which ones would you like to do if you were to do some covers?
there is a hawkwind cover hidden on "the orion chronicles" weve played a few live by bands like the cars, gary numan and other shit we 
could just butcher beyond recognition. id like to do some old hardcore covers for fun and we have talked about it, 
but well see what happens.
 
 
8.) Are there any upcoming shows/tours in the works for NEGATIVE REACTION?
we are playing the templars of doom festival in april or may, other than that we have a european tour in the works for october so 
all you fucks over seas had best come out and get fucked up with us asshole americans.
 
 
9.) Do you think nu-metal is polluting the scene in general with such supposed metal bands as linkin park,korn,deftones,and soil?
nu metal is polluting the world, i cant express my hatred enough to these cocklicking pansies, they all need to be put in a place together 
where they can cry about their ex girlfriends and kill themselves.
 
 
10.) Which are some of your favorite songs to play live?
kevorkians innocence is my favorite song, but NOD, a song for constance, i enjoy all of them at maximum volume so its hard to pick 
just one.
 
 
11.) Where can we buy your merch? What merch do you currently have for sale?
we have shirts, cds 7"s and all kinds of shit, you get get it thru us or from www.psychedoomelic.com and www.churchofdoom.net and 
also www.gametwo.com
 
 
12.) Anything you would like to add? Any last words perhaps?

an partied with, fistula, mandown, unearthly trance, dimentianon, and thank you of course jeff and never ending hate for all of your
