Murder Corporation
Wywiad przeprowadził Andrzej PapieżMURDER CORPORATION
Kill, kill,kill and once again kill your idols !!!! That's what this band is all about. Death, groove, punk and whatever you might want in one. Murder corporation, the secrond band of guys from Deranged. They're sick... as hell, no they're sick as cover of their split CD. Imagine Santa Claus with the gun in mouth of poor bussinessman, and put Santa's dick in mouth of beautiful wife of this looser. Great, just read this fuckers, or I shoot you !!!
Hello Wermen! Is Santa Claus really a Satan?"I hope so."
I started with your split CD with Grind Buto. Their material is not too good.. Who are they?
"Grind Buto is a cool bunch of grinding maniacs! It´s a band from Indonesia. They actually got me in touch with Psychic Scream so we have a lot to thank them for.They wanted to split a CD with us and the rest is as they say history."
What made you record Sabbath's "Chilred of the grave"? Wasn't it better to do Stones's"Pain in black" ha, ha, ha...
"The "Children of the grave" thing was a "last minute" thing really. We should had done Sid Vicious was innocent (Exploited)but as it´s not to easy to hear what the fuck Wattie actually sing and couldn´t find any lyric on the net either, we had to put that down which is a shameindeed. We all knew Children of the grave so. Mean, not too original to cover a Black Sabbath tune. Especially not from the Ozze era but. We sort of ripped Master off. They did a pretty fast version of Children. once so we was like "That´s cool" and did it. As said, it was a last minute thing. Probably 2 or 3 days before we should record the damn thing. Lack of time and material but it turned out OK. "Paint it black"?! Who would be so fucking stupid to cover that song? Ha, ha, ha."
Aaaa, I know band which did it. It's Deranged, he, he, he. I thought a lot about the sense of existence of Murder Corporation and you know what I found out? I think that as a Deranged you wanted to record a CD
with cover tracks of old punk and thrash band. There were too many such albums like Vader's, Slayer's and lately Overkill's masterpiece. This is why you did tracks based and influenced on old kind of music played by those bands... and you named it MURDER CORPORATION... Am I right?"Could be so, but unfortunately you´re wrong. We just wanted another band to jam with so we formed Murder Corp. At the start the line up´s were different but as time went by, both bands all of a sudden consisted of the same members which is odd as hell but that´s how it is."
It is not a coincidence that the title of your CD - "Whole lotta murder goin' on" takes after a known rock classic?
"The "Whole lotta murder goin´ on" thing is an old idea man. We should have done a euro. tour (as Deranged) around ´93 or ´94 which fucked up as a lot of other tours, and we should had sort of named that tour "Whole lotta killing goin´ on". The whole name, idea or how one shall say was just to good to be forgotten so when we were working on the here discussed CD it said it self pretty much what we should name it."
The same CD we are talkin about contains track from different recording sessions and some other releases? Why did you do it this way?
"It do contains material which should have been or are on 7" singles and the likes. We recorded shit lots of tracks that should had ended up on splits and shit you know but never happened. We had lots of songs which was all recorded but not released so we thought it would be a cool idea to like gather them all on one disc so the shit would finally be released. It´s not a "best of" thing or anything. When I wanted to define what MC plays I figured out that there is every kind of metal in it."
The music is moreover "merry" and especially designed to entertain..... I think that with the music you play you will be able to find more listeners... Murder Corporation is more digestable for a common fan..."Might possible. I have never thought about it that way though."
Have you recorded any other releases? Is it true that there are some CD that have never been released?
"As mentioned earlier, we recorded lots of shit that should have ended up on 7" singles, splits and shit but never happened. The CD you´re talking about must be the first full length that we recorded back in ´97 and it was released earlier this year. Quite delayed. Ha, ha, ha. Shit happens."
You are in a Malesian label Psychotic Scream.. Isn't it too far from Europe?
"It depends. Ha, ha, ha. Psychic Scream is one of the better labels we have worked with and we have worked with quite a lot. So far, it hasn´t been any hold back with a Malaysian based label."
As I look at the back cover of your album I see a little guy with two guns... Isn't it one of you guys ha, ha, ha...."It could´ve been but it´s not."
Some say that you started to listen to metal when you were five... Sorry... but I can hardly believe it....
"I have a older brother and he would listen to "metal" when I was around 5 years old and I would get into bands like Ac / Dc, Motorhead and especially Kiss. Once again, "shit happens". Ha, ha, ha."
Do you play any concerts as MC and Deranged at the same stage? "
Not yet but it´s very possible that we´ll do so."
As Deranged you were on Wacken fest... DId you like it?
"I´am personally not that into festivals. I´m not that into playing them orvisiting them either but still, the Wacken fest. was really cool. No shit. We didn´t play on the best time or anything but it showed up more people then what we had expected to which was cool. I guess the other guys like playing on festivals. Off course I liked the gig though but I´m more into playing in a club that is totally packed. Anyway, it usually shows up more people for our set when we´re playing on a fest. then if we would play a usual club gig and that´s cool. Mean, we got more response for the Wacken thing then any tour we´ve done. Guess you know what I mean?"
Yeah, I know, shit happens... Both Deranged and Murder Corporation is a three piece band..Do not you feel like you need one person during your gigs?
"A fourth guy? It´s not like we´re searching for a second guitar player or anything. If we would stumble across someone that we think might would fit we´ll naturally try him out but as said, we´re not really searching for anyone. Being a three piece is really cool in all kinds of ways."
Do you propagate murdering? You must have known that there will be people who will take it too seriusly and do not want your CDs in their countries....
"Their problem!"
What would you do if you were implanted a memory of a maniac murderer?
"Remove the implant."
OK.. What is new in Deranged? I have heard about a tour in Japan and a live album... are these only lies?
"We´ll record a new full length in December. Don´t know what it´ll be titled or anything at this point. We´re rehearsing the new shit as we speak and I´m working on the lyrics. We´ll do 5 or more shows in Japan end of Oct. / start of Nov. It´s might possible that we´ll record the gigs and then mix it back home in Sweden. I wouldn´t like to release a full live CD though. Might have like 4 new tracks and like 5 live tracks or something. We´ll see what happens. Don´t know when we would release that disc anyway. As said, we´ll record a new full
length in December which will might be out around march so. Guess you know what I mean?"
Yeah, once again, shit happens, ha, ha. What can we expect from the successor of "III" ?
"The new material we´ve got are ways better then anything on I I I. Far more brutal, intense, better songs. Everything. The new material is really strong and I´m looking forward to record it!"
You were in Poland a few times... Do you have any positive memories from that times?
"A lot of "positive" memories. Especially from the tour we did with Damn able back in ´96 or something."
Do you have any hobby? I have always liked to glue ants and other insects and then put a fire...
"The same with me."
Yes!!!!! I knew it thet I'm not alone in my preversions!!!!!!What part of MC and Deranged promotion is internet.... Do you have any plans with promoting bands in this media?
"We´ve got two Deranged sites and one Murder Corp. site. Otherwise. I don´t know. I´m not that familiar with the whole Internet thing. I´ve only had Internet for a little more then a year. Before that I knew absolutely zero about it."
That's all Wermen.. Thanks for your time.. Vomit something uninteresting at the end
"Thanx as hell to you for interview + support! Be sure to check the new CD out and get in touch for merchandise!
