Back then many mCDs were passed on as promos or in trade. The Pest Called Humanity was originally released as a mini CD limited to 500 copies. MRP:The band already exists since 1997,in time the demos where released cause of the 10th anniversary 'Evoking a Decade'.Why the choice in releasing the same material,in 2 different versions?Namely the original version and the re-recorded version of the 1st chapter. Throughout the years there is luckily just a single festival we’ll never ever play again – actually we didn’t even play there, it was the only concert we had to cancel about an hour after our arrival on the festival ground. There are many other festivals we should also name, so consider these names just as examples. On the other hand much smaller festivals like the Canadian Messe des Morts or the Arosian Black Mass in Sweden are equally noteworthy. We’re considering ourselves an underground act, thus we’re certainly glad to get such opportunities every now and then. For instance one of these challenges was a performance at the With Full Force Festival after Unleashed and right before Marduk in front of ten thousand people. As previously mentioned we’re looking for new experiences and challenges. Since that year we’ve played several other minor and major festivals. Now imagine a band that had previously only played a few underground shows all of a sudden being on a huge stage from which you couldn’t even see where the crowd ends. Our very first festival performance was in 2005 at the Party San Open Air in front of four thousand people. MRP:What was the best impression concerning festivals DNS played on. This is one of the reasons why we are referring to a concert as a "live ritual". This in return sets free an enhanced vigour creating a constant flow in between the partakers. Any willing individual may absorb this spiritual vigour up to a point when the chalice overflows. Putting your "heart" and "soul" into the music, thus reaching a trance like state will cause energy to radiate.
We’re also trying to make every performance a worthwhile experience for the audience. If an event sounds promising one way or another we are definitely interested in making this experience. A concert has to be interesting for us a fan as well as challenging for the musician. There’s a simple rule of thumb: we can but certainly don’t have to perform live. Perhaps we’re declining more offers than we’re accepting. However, we’re not playing that many concerts. MRP:Through the year DNS has established a great fanbase,with playing alot of live shows.How important are the livesets for the band?Įvery single concert is important to us. The entire recording equipment as well as the basement studio itself was truly old school. The Pest was actually recorded with an analog tape recorder. Even though the first chapter was recorded fourteen years ago there are still some unerasable memories. Each recording session leaves an imprint on the mind. Nevertheless, The Pest Called Humanity is our founding stone and thus it is also the unshakable fundament of us as an individual.
We’ve turned from an open hostility to a calmer more introverted spirituality. Moving on from album to album there is a certain progress in how this energy was channeled. Speaking in terms of discography the first chapter entitled The Pest Called Humanity stands for a time when we were chaotic, aggressive and violent without compromise. MRP:'The Pest Called Humanity'' (1999) was the band's first official release.Now,at this moment,how does DNS look back on the entire recording?Įach chapter marks a specific point in time, which obviously separates the era into a pre and post period. What we preach, so to speak, is a coronation of the individual. Nothing will cause change within you but you. The importance is that you’re willing to move on. In general and without going into much detail this "fascination" is a natural urge to self-awareness. Those who have this inner calling understand the meaning of keeping silent. MRP:Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult stands for for own satanic and nihilistic beliefs, along with the conspiracy for raw black metal.So it is written on the band's official website.Can you please tell us more about the fascination for the occult? "Grim, dark and evil" - which words could provide a better introduction than this quote? Well, Slaughtercult has been around since 1997 strictly following the individual path of old school, occult and traditional black metal. MRP:Hello Velnias,and welcome.Congratulations on the new record.First of all can you introduce the band to the readers. Interview with Velnias,Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult.
