Debauchery
Sometimes you never really
expect something from an interview. Maybe Thomas isn’t the most talkative
person in the metal scene but he has told us some really interesting things.
Like for example of course their tour with Six Feet Under and many more
about his band Debauchery.
1. First of all I want to congratulate
for your new album.
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed listening
to it......
2.Now I want you to tell me in a few line the
history of Debauchery.
We are a relatively new Death Metal Band from
Germany. The band is created around a solo project of the singer. We play
straight, brutal and groovy music. We have played many shows for example
with OBITUARY and KATAKLYSM, tours with NAPALM DEATH, HATE PLOW and SIX
FEET UNDER and now our third record Torture Pit was released.
3.Can you tell me why you chose this name for
the band?
Oh....we thought it sounded good. And anyway...the
best band names are already in existence.....slayer, morgoth....
4. Give me some details from the recording
sessions of your new CD.
We have recorded the cd as a two man band.
The studio recordings should be as best as possible. So we asked very good
musicians to do the extra work. We think this is better because no one
is interested if the Debauchery guitarist has also played the bass guitar
or if someone else has played it on the studio record. Only the result
counts. So we had the help from Tom Naumann of Primal Fear and Sinner with
the guitar soli and Dennis Ward (the producer) played the bass guitar.
5.Which things inspired your singer to write
lyrics for?
I read many books to get some good inspiration.
Mostly Warhammer novels.
6.If someone hasn't heard your music, could
you describe it for him?
It’s straight groovy Death Metal. To bring
a little bit diversity we incorporate some blast beats and some keyboard
melodies. The latest addition was an acoustic track.
7.You come from a country that has a great
history in metal music. Do you believe that this will help you a little?
No. I don’t think it helps us in any way.
Only perhaps we can recruit such great musicians as Tom Naumann for the
studio record.
8.If your music was an emotion, what would
it be?
Hate and Brutality of course.......and a lot
of bloody fun.
9.Tell me your wildest dream for Debauchery.
For me perhaps to play a tour with Judas Priest.
10.So far are you satisfied with the help from
your label?
Yes it’s ok. The “Torture Pit” CD will come
out as an digi pack, we get interviews, and so on.....
11.Any tour plans in order to support your
newest release?
In Autumn 2005 we played a European tour with
Six Feet Under. And in February 2006 we will play a European tour with
Dismember.
12.I want to thank you for your time and close
the interview as you want.
Blood for the Blood God!!!!
