But the tour will be in December instead of August as first planned. This is for several reasons.</p><p><br/></p><p><b><span class="npf_color_joey">Does Maniac use distortion on his vocals or is his voice natural?</span></b></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> Maniac’s voice is actually natural! When I first heard him I was sure that he used distortion, but he don’t. You can hear that on the demo/record, because he and Messiah use the same mike together! But I think he uses some ki nd of space effect.</p><p><br/></p><p><b><span class="npf_color_joey">How do you manage to play so fast? </span></b></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> Well, you know that the more practice you get the faster it goes, and we’ve played for three years, now. But we don’t play fast compared to bands like Napalm Death! They’re fast! </p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey"><b>Has your demo sold well?</b></span></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro: </span>We’ve sold some, but most people prefer to wait for the record, I think. We’ve sold a couple of hundred records, even before it’s out!</p><p><br/></p><p><b><span class="npf_color_joey">Are any record labels interested to make a deal with you? </span></b></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> I don’t know.We haven’t tried to get a deal yet. We recently got a letter from some label called Thunder Records. They wanted a demo so I sent them one. But except from that we haven’t sent out any demo to record companies at all.A lot of people have told us that we’d get a deal easily, but we hate record companies. If we’d sign a deal, we’d loose all control. Now we do everything ourself, distribution, promotions and stuff, on our own label called “Posercorpse Music, Inc. "If we sign a deal, we might get much better distribution and more money, but still we prefer to do things ourself. I mean, which rec. company would print our lyrics? However, if we one day do sign a deal, I doubt that it will be more than a one or two record deal.</p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey"><b>Were do people that buy your demo come from?</b></span></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> From all of the world.We’ve even got a lot of letters from strange places like Japan, Australia, Poland, Chile and Peru!</p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey"><b>What do you think of the Norwegian thrash scene?</b></span></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> It sucks, but I think it starts to build up now. More and more people seem to become active in the scene which I think is good. One thing which also is good is that punks and thrashers now start uniting. But I think that more girls should get into the scene! I know about just 5-6 of them here in this country. However, the Norwegian scene has alot of suckers!It is people who just walk around, thinking "I listen to Slayer, I’m hard!” and we also have those who make crooked use on bands and others, I’m not going to mention any names, but this is Bad!</p><p><br/></p><p><b><span class="npf_color_joey">Do you feel that many people buy your demo after they have read a Fanzine with you in it?</span></b></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> Yeah, I think that’s the way most people get to know about us. We’ve also been played on lots of local radios everywhere, but it’s deffinetly the fanzines who make most of the promotion.</p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey"><b>What music do you listen to?</b></span></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> Personally I listen a lot to electronic syntheziser music like Klaus Schule, Tangerine Dream, Conrad Schnitzler and Brian Eno. I also listen to lots of thrash and some hardcore. But, NO disco shit, pop music or HM.</p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey"><b>What do you think about Vomit and the music they play?</b></span></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> They rule! Their new stuff is so great! To be honest, I think they’re better than us! They’re really great guys. When Manheim left us they lent us Torben and they let us come to practice at their rehearsalplace every weekend. That’s a cool attitude. Support them! They will have a new demo out this autumn. </p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey"><b>You visited Kreator some time ago, how did they react when they first heard you?</b></span></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> The German thrashers are psychos! At that time we had only released “P.F.A” demo, and a lot of them loved it! Then you have to be sick!</p><p><br/></p><p><b><span class="npf_color_joey">You’ve got some help from Metalion of Slayer Mag. what do you think of him and the Fanzine?</span></b></p><p><br/></p><p><span class="npf_color_joey">Euro:</span> Metalion is a fucking great guy and our best friend. If it haden’t been for him……. The Deathcrush record is dedicated to him, and he truly deserves it! His ‘zine is one of the best ive seen and also definitely the sickest.</p></description>
