everlight Horizon plays Brutal / Old School Death Metal with several roots and influences:
Old School & Brutal Death Metal such as Suffocation, Dying Fetus, etc.
The latest album Dead God Effigies, recorded in 2016 and signed by Great Dane Records still delivers pure Death Metal with a 90’s old school touch and heavy riffs.

Welcome to the viewers of Headcrusher Music Magazine, we are here in Kaptár Club.

Hungarian: 
Pár mondatban: Mit tudtok mondani a zenekar korai éveiről? Szerintetek mennyire vagytok ismertek az országotokban és a nemzetközi terepen?
Én kezdtem a zenekart, már csak én vagyok az egyetlen tag az első felállásból, 2010-ben alakult a banda,
majdnem egy év telt el az első EP-ig.
A tagok ezek után cserélődtek, idő, munka, család miatt.
Minden évben próbáltam a csapatot jó irányba terelni, minden év egy különböző lépés volt számunkra, lépésről-lépésre haladtunk.

Hungarian: 
Két éve új énekesünk lett, Leo csatlakozott hozzánk és egy úttal a zenét is megváltoztattuk, még több death stílust és még több agresszivitást tartalmazott, még gyorsabb lett.
A nevünk.. Úgy érted, a nevünk a nemzetközi színtéren?
Azt mondhatom, Franciaországban nem nagyon ismert a nevünk, nem sok ember ismer.
Még Franciaországban sem?
Van pár rajongónk, ami nagyszerű.
Voltunk már három alkalommal turnézni Oroszországban.
Őrület volt! Őrület volt megtapasztalni, hogy ott mennyi rajongónk van.
Egy kurvára őrült hétvége volt.

Hungarian: 
Szóval egy ismert zenekar vagytok, ami igazán jó.
Voltatok már Magyarországon ezelőtt, ha jól tudom. Jelenleg is turnéztok és Debrecen ennek az egyik állomása.
Mit tudtok elmondani az előző országokról? Horvátország, Lengyelország?
Boszniában voltunk tegnap, Szarajevóban
Igen, Szarajevóban.
Szarajevó őrületes volt, ez volt az első alkalom, hogy odalátogattunk.
Magyarországot jól ismerjük, mert a volt gitárosunk jelenleg Budapesten él.
Szerelmes lett a városba különböző okok miatt, talán a nők az egyik legfontosabb ok.

Hungarian: 
Szeretjük ezt az országot, mert számunkra egy nagyszerű hely.
Rengeteg ember van, aki koncertekre jár a helyi színtéren és ezt szerintem nagyon jó.
Igen, ez a jó Kelet-Európában, hogy a hallgatóság sokkal inkább befogadóbb a zene iránt.
Nem szeretnék rosszat mondani a barátainkról, de elmész egy koncertre és senki sem mozog.
Itt ha van is 3 ember a teremben egyszerűen megőrülnek.
Mint két nappal ezelőtt, mikor egy bárban léptünk fel.
Nem voltunk benne biztosak, hogy milyen lesz az éjszaka,
de végül az egész bár meg volt telve, a gitárosunk még a közönség közé is ugrott.

Fergeteges volt és nagyon király.
Ha jól tudom, már két hivatalos videótok is van, és a hallgatóság a zenéteket a bandcamp oldalatokon is elérheti. Tudnátok arról beszélni, hogy mennyi időt, energiát és pénzt tettetek a zenétekbe?
Rengeteget.
Jó kérdés. Azt hiszem, sok pénzt invesztáltunk a zenébe, mivel úgy gondolom, sose könnyű elkezdeni zenét készíteni.
Az energiáról:  Julient heti ötször vagy többször jár le dobolni, a gitárosok alapvetőlen folyamatosan gyakorolnak, tehát minden nap.
Jelenleg felvételezünk, amit igazából magunk oldunk meg.

Hungarian: 
Sok erőfeszítést teszünk ebbe az egészbe, de nem tűnik nehéznek, mert ezt szeretjük csinálni.
Szenvedélyből csináljátok…
Mindannyiunk találkozott már a zenélés árnyoldalaival... például télen, mikor szakad az eső hideg van, és otthon ülsz, bámulod a Netflix-et, élvezed az otthoni kajákat,
de fel kell kelni és menned kell dobolni, mert gyorsabbnak kell lenni, néha tébolyda.
Mennyi támogatást kaptok a barátoktól és a családtól?
Rengeteget. Mindig hagyták, hogy azt tegyem, amit csak szeretnék, úgy tűnik látják, hogy a zene jót tesz nekem.

Hungarian: 
Édesanyámtól rengeteg támogatást kapok, pénzügyileg is. Szinte minden fellépésünkön ott volt a városunkban.
Érdekes ott látni őt a közönség soraiban, mikor black metal, death metal zenekarok lépnek fel, erőszakkal körítve...
... és édesanyám azt mondja, hogy mekkora őrületes buli volt. Én meg: igen, az volt.
Csak pár mondatban: Szeretik a szüleid azt a zenét, amit játszol?
Igen, nagyon kedveli ezt a fajta zenét az old school rockon keresztül, mint például John Cooker, Janis Joplin.
Emlékszem, mikor készítettük az első felvételt Leo-val és akkor mondta, hogy az új srác milyen jó. Csak néztem, hogy mi van.

Hungarian: 
Deathcore-t játszotok, ami a 2000-es évek közepén vált népszerűvé az USA-ban, de legfőképp a fiatalok körében...
... és ez a stílus annyira nem elfogadott az old school heavy metalt kedvelők körében. Mit gondoltok erről?
Én úgy gondolom, elég fiatal vagyok ahhoz, hogy ne ismerjek sok old school heavy metal zenét.
Az emberek az én koromban, mikor metalt hallgatnak, akkor deathcore felé fordulnak általában.
Nekem ez így nem furcsa, talán fordított esetben az lenne. Joe-nak talán más történetei vannak.
Igen, idősebb vagyok, mint Leo.
Miért mennyi idős vagy?
21 éves.
Mikor kezdted el játszani ezt a fajta zenét, ezt a stílust?
Ezelőtt egy másik zenekarom volt, Soul is Beyond névvel.
Minden féle zenét játszottunk, amit szeretek:

Hungarian: 
Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, egy kis Machine Head, At The Gates.
Aztán láttam ezt az erőszakos, új, USA-ból érkező hullámot aztán próbáltam más dolgokat.  „Oké, ez a rész király, ez a hangzás, ezt használjuk”.
Nem csak egy felvillanás volt bennem, hanem nagyon is benne voltam a dolgoban.
Minden nap hallgatok Metallica-t az autómban vagy WhiteChapelt, Iron Maiden-t szóval ez semmit nem változtatott meg.
Meg tudom érteni, hogy ez egy fura dolog az old school-t kevelőknek.

Hungarian: 
A sok fru-frus fiú, soványak , szakadt farmerben, kedves srácnak tűnnek, aztán hörögnek.
Megértem, hogy furcsa lehet, de szerintem a két dolog meg tud férni egymás mellett.
Kik a fő inspirációtok?
Az első zenekarok, amiket hallgattam a Carnifex és a WhiteChapel. A WhiteChapel motivált arra, hogy énekeljek.
Érdekes ezt mondani, de nincs igazából fajlagos inspirációm, csak meghallgatom amit akarok.
Nem nagyon érzem, hogy hatással lennének arra, mit csinálok.

Hungarian: 
Ez igazából csak kémia. Énekelni azt, amit a többiek játszanak gitáron és dobon.
Csak próbálni olyat énekelni, ami a leginkább illik a dologba.
Egy francia városból, Lyon-ból jöttetek: Mit tudtok mondani az  ottani underground életről? Megjelenik e a metal, a metalcore a tv-ben és a rádióban?
Abszolút nem.
Van egy pár zenekar, akik…..
Nem tudok más országok underground zenekarjairól a death és metalcore keretein belül, de Franciaországban szerintem elég sok található.
Franciaországban ez a színtér egyedül a Facebook és Youtube által él.

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
A TV-ben és a rádióban csak nagyon mainstream zene található.
Ha igazán jó zenét szeretnél bármilyen stílusban, például jazz vagy bármi, amit akarsz, akkor azt a Youtube-on vagy Facebook-on találod, nem a rádióban vagy a tv-ben.
A zenei színtér Franciaországban annyira nem jó, ha zenét akarsz hallgatni, akkor utána kell járnod,
mert ha a TV-ben vagy a rádióban keresek, akkor minden alkalommal ugyan azt a dolgot fogod hallani.
Minden rádió azt állítja, hogy különböző stílusú zenét játszanak, de igazából ez nem így van.
Ugyanakkor azt gondolom, hogy ez nem olyan rossz dolog, mert az emberek, akik elmennek egy koncerte, azokat érdekli, hogy mi is történik.
Mik a terveitek a jövőre nézve?

Hungarian: 
Aludni ma éjjel.
Csak viccelek.
A terv mindig ugyan az: egyre nagyobbnak lenni.
Pénzt szerezni a zenével, vannak nagyobb francia zenész ismerőseink és velük is ugyan ez a helyzet.
Csak szeretnénk ismertebbé tenni zenekar nevét,  új albumokat, új tapasztalatokat, új dolgokat.
Ugyan olyan jó barátok maradni, mint amik most vagyunk. Pont tegnap beszéltünk róla, hogy milyen jó, hogy barátok vagyunk. Összezárva az autóban... éjszaka...
Épp a boszniai határon voltunk, baromi hideg volt, de mégsem volt olyan rossz mert nevettünk, sok dolgokról beszéltünk, szóval összességében nagyon jó volt.
Ez a zene legjobb része, szerintem.

They took the time to build their music before getting in Silver Wing Studio at the end of 2015 to record what was going to become the EP “Out Of Time” containing 6 original songs from the band.
“Out Of Time” is of a good listening and it is made for fans of bands such as Death, Obituary, Dying Fetus & Deicide.
Their crunchy sound gives them an Obituary textures that is quite interesting for the ears. This band possess something interesting in their work that deserve some attention.
Their album is available on download for those who can’t come over Quebec to see them playing live, while they get on stage to give all they got in their veins.

Nagaarum’s 14th album, the Homo Maleficus the domestic NGC Prod and Satanath Belarus interest got released by GrimmDistribution on the 3rd of May, limited to 500 samples with a 8 paged booklet.
According to Nagaarum the concept was the forecloser of the ambient parts this time.

English: 
The specialty of the release is that the first 33 orderer will get an ampull with the album filled with polluted soil, collected on the scene of the red swamp disaster in 2010 and a laminated,
numbered, sealed, signed certificate in the size of a business card. Besides these the NGC Prod operates a constantly growing distribution for spreading alien underground labels’ materials.

Greetings for the viewers of Headcrusher Underground Music Magazine.

English: 
I’m sure I don’t have to introduce my following chat partner in our country.
He is the singer and guitarist of the band Moby Dick from Sopron
Schmiedl Tamás, a.k.a Smici. Hello!
Hello!
Welcome in the magazine and thank you so much that you accepted our invitation.
Your second album came out in 1991 named Kegyetlen Évek, it has its 25th jubilee, that’s why you are touring around the country;
yesterday in Kazincbarcika, today in Debrecen, tomorrow – if I know well – you will play in Marosvásárhely.
How were the previous gigs, how was the atmosphere?
We are a bit over the 25th jubilee, the accurate timing is impossible.

English: 
At first we had a big gig in Budapest which outstriped this tour and these 10 stages arent the whole tour as after the summer tour we will go on with touring even in fall.
we will go to cities which we haven’t managed to get to this time. Comparing to the old tours this current tour isnt a coherent tour either.
Nowadays it’s hard to set the gigs together so we don’t push it, just make it as the step allows us. You can’t find perfect dates in every clubs.
Back in the times 25 years ago when there was a tour in the springs and in the fall too, the tour started at the beginning of the month and went on through 30 days; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Nowadays it’s not possible to transact these kind of tours. The stages so far…
We are over of 4 gigs so far so the one today is the 5th.

English: 
I can say that these gigs are over our expectations however I had to add that this 25 years old „Kegyetlen Évek” will add some plus to the gigs.
It inspires the old fans and it will bring more viewers in than in the past few years. It was confirmed as the audiamce grew with 20-30% than in the previous shows.
The atmosphere in the past gigs was phenomenal but the atmosphere is never a problem at a Moby Dick show.
The audience take part in the shows interactively, we have built in parts when we allow them to initiate, to make them sing and the ground is always roaming.
By the end of the last year the re-mixed „Kegyetlen Évek” was released as an appendix of the magazine Hammer World.
You re-recorded it again with the current line up. Whose idea was this?

English: 
Was this idea generated by that when this record came out back to then you were not satisfied with the sound, and if I know well, the album was released by Quint Records so would it had been difficult to release it one-on-one?
These are difficult questions as –anyway a few years ago the Quint created a minimalized release,
these CDs were not of full value as they didn’t contain booklets but only a one paged….this came out under the title of „The XX. century’s songs”.
Kegyetlen évek and Körhinta came out in 2000-2000 samples and in the year of the release these sample were sold.

English: 
This didn’t satisfied the fans and the needs and we were not fully satisfied either as we imagine the release of such a classic album on an other way. To be honest it’s a problem with all of our albums.
In Hungary it’s not really solved….not only for us but for other bands too, to get to the old albums. Some bands managed to bridge this problem in the past 5 years, Would be nice to catching up to them.
The problem with us that the rights of the albums are at different labels. Releasing an album is absolutely not a business.
It’s hard to sell with a number from an old release which is worthy for a label, for a multinational company to release the CD.
Maybe they are waiting for the perfect time, like it was with the series of „XX. century’s music” to release one, or it would be possible to buy it if they could sell it.

English: 
Sometimes they say they rather keep it then sell it, or if we talk about a bigger amount of money they cant buy it – if ne band cant buy it for that price -  or if the label which stands behind tells the price.
This is actually a dead end which is hard to break out from.
We had some trials for years and we managed to release some albums like Ugass Kutya reissue, Memento came out again as a magazine annex, we had gig dvd’s, but in sooth we cant really show big achievments as we have many more albums waiting for being released.
The reason of the re-record is not necessarily the sound, it just happened this way. Simply it wasnt possible to produce the re-release.

English: 
Obviously if the label could get the rights of the original album and we could release it without any problem, it could have get a little mastering and we show up with the original album.
But as it couldnt happen, to be honest this was my idea, ..so  the 25th jubilee got closer and every band think about that what is the thing which can make a 25th jubilee memorable, they try to build an event around it, or they do a re-release or an album.
My idea was if we dont manage to re-release the album or get the rights, then we could re-record the album and release it.
We have never done anything like this but there are numberless examples for this in the cirlce of foreigner bands.
It’s a 2 chance thing, beause people could ask what is the meaning to re-record an old, classic album. Obviously everyone knws it that we dont want to get into race with the old classic album.

English: 
We dont even push the fans to declare on which release they like more. Both of them have their values and beauties.
This is a 2016 version and a re-thinking of the album which got released 25 years ago.
If someone wants tol isten to the classic album, then the  person has the album at home and can listen to it, and who is capable, and curious about how we put the album together….and would like to get this album but cant get the old classic one, then the person can get the album this time.
As you had a long question I return a bit back: Our CD was released az an annex of Hammer World Magazine, and it wasnt out plan to release it as an annex.
It came out in a limited number, in 500 samples, as a digipack, with a paper case; people could get it only through pre-order via the band’s page.

English: 
This 500 samples were gone because of the pre-orders and after all it was released as an annex in Hammer World. It’s not really clear that what is the next but probable it will get into the record shop network not in a digipack format but the traditional format in cd case.
But how will this happen I dont know yet.
By the end of the 90’s and the beginning of the ’00 you had a break in the history of the band, but the album which came out in 2003 under the name „Golgota” was recorded in your studio in Sopron.
What gave you the idea to start the studio?

English: 
In the past years countless smaller-bigger bands visited the studio and some of them got nice result on the year-end voting. How were other’s and your albums made?
Partically I was there during the recording of the Moby Dick albums, from the beginning til the end.
I am the instument and technique maniac member of the band, I was always interested in these things.
I always had the dream of having a home studio so we could record the songs at home in a calm atmosphere, by our own tempo. As we’ve seen on videos on the net that other bands record their songs’ base at home.

English: 
The digital revolution brought that this was possible to make real. Back to then when we released the classic albums they were recorded in an analog, 24 tracked tape recorder.
This recorder cost millions of Hungarian Forints, we had mixers which cost 10-30 millions of Hungarian Forint, which wasnt available for a mortal man.
It’s not easy even today but it is achievable step by step. Before Golgota, after the returning I had the feeling that now we can start this project.
We had only the recording of the songs in my studio, the mixing and the mastering happened in Budapest, in a big studio. I wasnt settled – neither with equipment, neither with apparatus – to undertake such a complex work.

English: 
We could manage the recording succesfully enough. We can say Golgota is one of our albums which has the best sound. But only the mastering cost 110 hundred of Hungarian Forint.
Besides the bands, how much of your time and energy are taken away by the studio? How much free time is left for you?
A few remains, but Im really happy that I can deal with music and I can live from music. The one, who wants to live from music has to stand on several feet.
I have two bands. When the bands dont gig or I dont have any other things to do, I work in the studio.

English: 
I can synchronize things and on the one hand I have some help in the studio on the other hand there arent as much gigs as much could obstruct the studio work. If I had 200-300 shows a year I should decide whether I do studio work or I gig.
But I would have a fugitive way even in this case, I would have a representative sound engineer or any other stuff who work in the studio. I managed to synchronize these things.
I do what I do gladly, I really like not only to care for music and create productions but to meet with musician collegues, young goups, musicians and this keeps a person fresh, new relationships get to born and to my mind it is a really cool stuff.

English: 
Your other band besided Moby Dick is Bloody Roots in which your son, Balázs is taking part too. You already have 2 strong albums which will have its continuation I believe.
Do you have timet o care for this band besides the Mobydick tour? How is the following Bloody Roots material?
Well, not too god, unfortunatelly. To tell the truth we dont have much reason to hurry with the release.
A lot of things made the life of the band hard: problems within the members, teaching the new members, Balázs had his last year at the university which was really important for him to finish as it was delayed.

English: 
He’s over it now but we couldnt turn the band up to a maximum speed because we had to hold the dynamism a bit back for some reason. Meanwhile these I had to fight an illness too and fortunatelly now Im over it.
We should get back into the dynamism which brings the band foreward. We are working on the new album, we have half-ready songs, or almost done songs and have a lot of riffs and ideas which we collected but unrotunatelly we still dont see that when will these form a complete album material.
A material can come out when it comes out by itself, when we dont push it. we dont want to force it just to have the burden on ourselfs to release because it should be out now we put the songs together at all costs.
The crisiques also say that we build up very strong albums, and the two Bloody roots albums were the metal albums of the year in their years of release.

English: 
Obviously this put some responsibility on us. we want to make an album which makes us feel that we brought out the maximum from ourselves.
My next question is the same regarding Moby Dick’s last album Földi Pokol which came out in 2014 – if i recall it well-. Have you thought about new ideas? Do you already have new ideas? Do you have any plans?
Regarding Moby Dick I can tell the same what I told regarding Bloody Roots that we are not in a hurry. The last album hadnt came out so long ago that we should be in a hurry, but of course we are planning th release of a new material.

English: 
The creative work had begun. We have riffs and ideas. And our writer, Zoltán Pusztai advanced this work as in the last months he wrote a lot of lyrics from which we will build the news album.
He called me almost daily about a new lyrics and he read it happily for me via the phone, and I have to say Zoli is in a corking form, so the new materials situation is just fine.
I dont hold you up for long as shortly you will stand on the stage of Debrecen.
Last year you had a gig in Bara Negra, this was the celebration of the bands 35th jubilee.
There were old musician mates and other musician friends who appeared next to you.
Im curious – however the question is hard and not easy to answer to – that what are the moments which you remember gladly back to, or do you feel that there are some things you missed during these 35 years.

English: 
On the other hand we talked about the studio too, you meet with a lot of underground bands. How do you see, how much harder is the situation of the bands nowadays than you had when you started the band?
It’s hard to grab out things from 35 years.
We had so much beautiful things and as a metal and thrash nad we had part in the luch that we could play in the 80’s-90’s when there was a bigger need for live music and – this genre was layer music even back to then – but there was a bigger interest about it.
I can tell that we were there in the heroic age of this music and we could make great albums and great shows.

English: 
A big moment was the birth of the first album as we worked for 10 years until we got there. We supported Beatrice, Stormwitch, these were unforgettable shows or the shows at Sziget called Monsters of Rock.
There were a lot of great moments in the history of Moby Dick so it would be really hard to pick out only a few or would hard to chose one which is the closest to my heart.   Help me please….
Were there any moments, do you feel that you missed something?
I believe that as a hungarian metal band we reached what we could. The only thing we would do differently is that tha gates were not opened back to then, there was no internet, which has dark and bright side too, but we never really opened over to abroad.

English: 
We had huge success on the Hungarian inhabited places, we had these „Great-Hungary” tours, we tried to reach all the areas over the border.
We hadnt really have time either and there werent small ways to get out to abroad.
Lots of people said that we sing in Hungarian and it’s impossible to prevail in Hungarian and this theory got refuted as several Hungarian bands acheieved success abroad too.
we could try in English too but they grabbed our enthusiasm as they said Hungaraians cant sing with a good English accent and people would have laughed.
But this was refuted again as countless Hungarian band were gigging abroad without a perfect English accent and they could get success even like this.

English: 
As an example I can say Max Cavalera who is said to have a horrible English accent yet one of the leader metal bands were…. so well, these things were taken a bit frivolous, we should have tried it because when we got to abroad – unfortunately there wasnt much occasions -  when we got to wes.
But our CDs and our music got out by our friends and who got to America, Switzerland, Germany, and we had feedbacks like even if they didnt understand the lyrics, the essence of the music grabbed them.
Maybe we should have had more courage and a management who could have taken the band out to abroado so who knows what could happen. Maybe we could have found some understanding ears.

English: 
Easier or harder to succeed for a smaller underground band than you did. Obviously the situation was different before the end of communism and even after it. How do you feel this?
Obviously this is a hard question too.
I would say it’s harder because we live in a world where this kind if music doesnt get any support and the media pushes the taste into a direction where the new generation cant get in touch with this kind of music.
They turn into the direction which they get from the newspaper, radio, television. As I mentioned until we had our first album we worked and fight for 10 years on it so it wasnt easy even years back, bands didnt build up their carrier in a sec.

English: 
Maybe we had luck and we worked hard. But I still say that back tot hen it had bigger audience and they were more thankful, more capable for live music.
If a band was good on stage or a gig, as we supported Beatrice and Stormwitch – what I mentione before, these were our first bigger apperiance – the audience welcomed us with love and enthusiasm.
Even the ones who didnt know the band watched us and were there at the gig. Not like nowadays: people dont listen to the supporter bands.
Meaningless in an underground band can get to support a bigger band when the audience is interested only in the main band and will listen to only it.
A lot of things has changes in the way of thinking. Nowadays a main group gets to the stage at around 10 pm. Back to then main bands played at around 7 pm.

English: 
This was important because people came from ever far as they were allowed to come as the gig wasnt that late and they had transport after the gig to get back home.
The world changed in a lot of waxd that’s why it’s harder, In our time there were less opportunities, but there was Rock Kalapács, there were radio shows, rock studio in the television where band could get in with a video – they played our material.
Nowadays not even we can get to shows like these, not to mention the underground bands. So this music cant get to the audience.
Younger ones were flattered for a long time with internet so it will be easier to prevail. Maybe half of it is true, but maybe not even a half.
Because when it all started probably it was easier to make the first steps for a band to suddenly get to a wider layer but in fact this thing stopped.

English: 
It’s hard to succeed with youtube videos, because you cant put a youtube video onto a forum which helps your music to get to the fans.
If a band makes a band page and it has 5-600 followers and they share their videos there how many people can watch it and for how many people can the video get to?
And bigger portals which has 100 hundred of followers wont share a video of an underground band. So all in all, even with the internet it is hard to get far.
Thank you so much!
Thank you too!
Meet at your 40th jubilee!

English: 
If we check the small Hungarian underground record labels, we will find only about 8-10 active one, the most intensive and oldest one is the Terranis Porduction from Eger for sure.
So it is out of question that my partner in the following interview is the label’s one man boss, Gábor Tomi.
Hello!
Hello Attilla!
I am more than happy that we finally meet, we wanted to talk with you for a long time now.
First, please introduce yourself for those who just hear your name first.
Let’s jump back in time and start in the early 2000’ when the Zenevár shop existed in Eger.
Well, as you already know, my enthusiasm and love of music goes back much more in time. When I took the Zenevár over in Eger, that was an already functioning shop.

English: 
This shop was operated by Hammer with the Hammer’s products and the Terranis already existed when the Zenevár existed, but not as a record label but as a distributor.
So I have operated both the Zenevár and Terranis for 4-5 years together.
After some years, the Zenevár had to be closed down due to the fact that the musical taste and the interest for the recordings have been changed in the meantime.

English: 
So this was a clear tendency  and when it clearly turned out for me that there is no future for the business sale, I have founded the Terranis as a record label,
because I experienced that there are so many awesome band in Hungary, just starters or bands who already made some production,
and these bands needed the last stroke or help to come up with their actual albums.
That’s what I helped them, after the Zenevár I concentraded on the label with 100%.
There are countless published CDs and vynil however you have not published anything for some time now. What’s the reason behind this?

English: 
The answer is very simple – as I just explained the main reason is that the interest and the demand and supply regarding the recording has changed.
The other reason is that properly speaking if I can say this, I got tired during the years.
And there is a third reason; at the moment my job does not allow that I can guide bands in the future.
Because it is not just that we are coming up with a new record, but we have to strongly promote it everywhere.
I have done it with the former stuffs, sent the promo cds, mails, e-mails everywhere to many countries and continents for webzines and fanzines.
So I could not take this action anymore, because my current job does not enables this activity to me, because I was not in Hungary often.

English: 
This would have not been fair against the bands too that I undertake any duties and after that I can not put myself 100 percent.
Although this silence might brake, the band named Throneum found me recently; they are active again and asked if we could work together.
But this is far in the future and not too solid, I can not say anything for sure. Maybe the whole thing won’t happen at all, who knows…
Besides the recordings you are organizing concerts too for a long time.
You have been around with Hungariand and foreigner bands some years ago, for example the Swedis DEMINICAL was the band, who took you with another guy.

English: 
What’s the story of this? How come the opportunity? Could you share some memory with us?
This was an outstanding story, we recall these memories cheerfully every time.
My partner from Hungary was Krisztián Kiss. Practically the head of Demonical, Martin has a concert agency and the Nunslaughter from the US was their band that time.
They were on a European tour.
So I was in relation with Martin before Demonical, his band name was Centinex, and he knew that I have a bus, which is available for passenger service.

English: 
So after some e-mails we agreed in that I will take Nunslaughter and Demonical to this tour.
I can not recall clearly, there were 17 or 18 shows, we were on the road every day and hit 8 or 9 countries.
Among others, they played on the Obscene Extreme and the In Flammenfestivals and some other clubs, from Paris to Truntov, so this was a really huge tour.
We also hit the Metal Magic festival in Denmark, these were really important gigs.
From one hand we were able to experience the western club and festival scene.

English: 
Cool hotels and accommodations, nearly 10 thousand kilometers in those 20 days, because we left from Berlin and finished in the Berlin airport at the end of the tour.
We watched every Nunslaughter and Demonical show; practically we knew the set lists.
We became big friends, and maybe you know that from Nunlaughter that their drummer has Hungarian ancestors, poor Jimi has died in the meantime, so the Nunslaughters future activity is unsure, but it was really fun hanging with them and the American guys.
I can say the same regarding Martin and his band, they are really cool guys too.
They have a bit more of a rock star attitude, but apart from this the whole tour was trouble free.

English: 
The other abroad tours were with the Age of Agony, we have been playing in many European countries on standalone gigs and on festivals too.
We have been asked – by the way the Polish Christ Agony just asked to join them, but I told them I do not really want to take this at the moment honestly, I was not in the mood.
So I drove the bus in the recent years that much I was not in the mood to go on a bus trip with them.
I was asked from Austria too, so it happened that I had to go with the 9 seat car or with the bigger bus, but this is not the main priority, it is just an extra in my life that I got and I hope I will in the future.
But back to the original topic, we really enjoyed the tour.

English: 
It’s not a secret that the Total War festival is connected to you and the Age of Agony from Zalalövő.
This is gonna be the 5th festival. Please tell us something about this year’s festival. Let’s go through the line up as a promotion…
Oh I’m happy for this question.
Yes, so this is a jubilee year for us, this is gonna be the 5th festival on the Raba bank.
I think this was an absolutely unique initiation in Hungary.
So this is an open festival for only underground bands.

English: 
For the first time the festival lasted for only one day, but after the second, the festival lasts for 2 days.
We tried to give a good opportunity to the Hungarian bands in a cozy environment. Of course common question is the location.
Why Körmend, why there? The answer is simple – the Age of Agony is from Zala, the main idea comes from them, so it is easier to carry the idea into execution in a native area than in an unkown place.
So we are trying to honor the audience with choosing and inviting bands that are rarity, which are playing rarely or never have been to Hungary before.
So these were the main viewpoints.

English: 
After the past years path findings we tried to clarify our direction,
which is not a trendy – because if you check the bands you may find them untrendy – but we tried to clear the direction,
not to have every kind of style, we want to focus on underground thrash, death and black metal bands.
In addition I want to say that it was not find to put the line up together.
The first band was the Graveland, which re-activated themselves after 20 years regarding live shows – Darken invited real musicians in the band, so they can take the gigs.

English: 
I think anybody who is familiar with the underground should know the Graveland, they are strengthening the pagan style.
How difficult was to convince them to play in Hungary?
Actually they confirmed after my first mail, we just had to fine down on the technical details.
Well, you know the proverb regarding the Pole and Hungarian friendship, they closed their e-mail with the lines Pole and Hungarian — two good friends.
So it was so easy we agreed immediately.
Throneum was planned for years now, I had a lot of e-mails with Thomas – head of Throneum, but the band was inactive.

English: 
It turned out later that he lives in Frankfurt, Germany and to come home and practice, play shows from there is not an easy task.
Last year their name appeared on a line up in a Polish festival in Krakow – where the headliner band the Archgoat (they played previously at us) and I have sent an e-mail immediately.
He told that he is really happy and will play 2 shows a year and the Total War show will be one of them.
So they will be the headliner band on that night. We can say that the other bands are besieging us with their intention to play on the festival for years now.

English: 
It happens that the two minds meat, so the tastes and the opportunities, among others the Austrian Blessmoon and the Church of Necrolust will play.
They are really young bands, it was easy to agree with them too.
On Friday the band Silva Nigra will play, we are in a long lasting friendship with them.
They have some boundaries with the Terranis – the current guitarists of Silva Nigra played in the band Inferno previously and their first Hungarian gig was held in Eger in the Sorompó Rock pub, so we have the friendship since then.

English: 
We also meet in some festivals, so the idea was given to come.
The Demonical will be on tour with the Finnish Author, the Swedish Angrepp will join them in the meantime.
As I said earlier, we are in connection with Martin for a long time and after 3-4 e-mails we agreed on every detail.
As a hosting band, I don’t have to introduce the Age of Agony, this is a stable point they played on every except for the 3rd, because the hellish thunder inhibited them and only them to play.

English: 
Regarding the Hungarian bands we are trying to collaborate with musicians and bands who are supporting the underground,
the Szeged line is unquestionable.
So Albert’s Grimness band will play which can be said as exclusive, because there are no information, new release, shows regarding the band for a time now.
They’ll play a show here and after that the bands future is unsure.
The Morfium is an ancient friend of Age of Agony, we are speaking a really old thrash band, of course they had member changes, tragic events – the drummer’s death.

English: 
Their only question was that how they will put themselves together, but they were really enthusiastic when they accepted the invitation.
I have not mentioned the KomorRomok, Pagan Insurrection,  Evil Conqueror, they are living nearby and they have alwas supported the festival, if they are not playing they are here as guests.
The Pagan Insurrection from Mosonmagyaróvár will also play, we are in a good friendship with them too.
We are trying to help and give opportunity to these kinds of bands, to play and show the audience that they exist and playing this kind of music.
I think I listed every band except for the Mexican Armada.

English: 
Yes, a Mexican band will come too!
The Mexican Armada is a doodle situation.
They’ve sent an e-mail; we have already heard about them previously, they checked in before.
We thought that we should let in a band from the brutal death metal scene too.
The Suffocation is not too far from us, and they are playing something similar and we are talking about really cool and friendly guys.
So this year’s lineup is something like this.
What are the financial demands to organize a festival?
How does the festival stand on its own foot?
Prevously the Age of Agony also received these questions, but as you are a co-organiser, please tell some words about these.
So during the previous interview you asked if it’s worth the money?

English: 
The time in not a matter, because we are working with an honorable team, so everything is oiled, this is gonna be the fifth festival.
I have to name Laci Hegedűs, who is organizing the Alterába festival in Körmend. The Total War festival started with his help and he gives a hand where he can up to date.
I think without him we would have been unable to depart, and his processes in the Altera are transplanted into our festival, of course in smaller volumes,
but the ticket collecting, security, reportings to the offices are done by him.

English: 
Time goes so fast, because we received some mails from bands who are checking in the 2018 festival, I think there is not too much bugger from the bands’ side.
Ok, there were some lame bands from Poland, we wanted the Bestial Raids to play but they said that they do not really want to play in an open air festival;
they shall remain playing club shows.
The Infernal War played in Budapest last year and they have a side project, the Voidhanger,
which is a huge favorites for both Krisztián and myself, and we wanted them to play also, but they were screwing that much with deciding if they are coming or not,

English: 
when finally we told them that guys, forget about it, we’ll return in 2018.
So time is not a problem rather the money is….
Pretty expensive
Yes, tipical Do It Yourself movement, we are talking about underground music.
There are no sponsors, no promoters. Now we received outer help, it seems we’ll have external supporters, who tires to move in a way.
We have a 2 sided introducing letter, summarizing the last four festivals.

English: 
We sent it to different studios, metal shops and to other companies, to more than a hundred companies.
We received back only one answer, and I don’t think we will receive more and that was a no too.
I think we have to forget about the sponsors furthermore, they do not see any perspectives in the underground, as I said,
we are not mainstream, we are not generally accepted medium so we have to stick to this do it yourself  and pick your own pocket movement.
The last year was acceptable and we are hoping that this year maybe will be around zero. We are trying to choose the bands, to harmonize the budget and the visitor count.

English: 
In the previous interview Krisztián told that we are counting on a 160-170 people.
I think we will have some more this year, because the Körmend Region is close to Austria, Slovenia and Croatia.
We are offering an alternative to the underground community to meet with these bands, because they are rarely to see, so if we are end with zero,
I will be more than happy and  I will say that it worth to organize the festival.
We are hoping that if everything goes well, we can attend on the festival too and of course we will report too.

English: 
As a closing question I am interested in your opinion about the actual status of the underground – ther are different pros and contras in the social media – I am thinking on the poor visitor number of the Hungarian underground concerts.
What do you think, what can be the root cause? Do you think it will turn to a positive direction in the future?
Another good question and I think I have told my opinion in this portal before.
The tendency shows a downstream; our metrics regarding the poor visitor numbers are worse day by day. Of course this is not valid for the main stream, this is amazing that nowadays there are outstanding sold out gigs.

English: 
For bands which are almost playing in Hungary year by year, on the other hand the underground is so poorly visited like the Stygian Shadows festivals or the Undead festival which fulfilled the Vörös and Kék Yuk on the underground bands gigs.
This audience is disappeared now.
The other astonishing thing for me is that when we are attending in an underground party, for example the last Sadistic Intent show,
practically only us, the guys in their 40, like you and me and our friends are present and the reinforcements is missing.

English: 
The reason should be dual, one of them is financial, this is the easiest exclusion, but of course it has a real basis, and the second is that today you can find everything – audio and visual data – can be found on the video sharing portals.
So the people do not feel that inner urge to go to watch the bands playing live, they will see on the computer screen.
Of course when we were young, back than when these festivals existed, there were not so easily reachable documents, you had to go to a show if you wanted to see the band.
There are awful lot of bands and gigs, you can watch anything, and it’s only a question of time and or money.
So people are selecting from the mass, there are some underground parties to which are people not going because they have already saw or will see,

English: 
or if not yet and will not is not a problem. In the underground I can not see any change or moving, I think we should rate positively if the negative tendence would stop.
But what will happen when we are not present in these parties, I have no idea because I will not see them. I don’t have any clue.
I think we put our maximum effort on this 5th Total War festival, so I think we will not shot in the air with these bands.
We only need audience that visits the event.
We hope that we’ll be the more and then we will see what the direction for underground is.

English: 
I think our festival is a great measurement for the underground scene.
Thank you very much, see you in Körmend
I hope so!
Good bye!

Hungarian: 
Sziasztok srácok, üdv a Headcrusherben!

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Mondhatjuk, hogy ti egy elég ismeretlen csapat vagytok a magyar közönség számára. Pár szóban meséljetek magatokról kérlek, mit tudhatunk rólatok?
Sziasztok! Patos de Minasból jöttünk, abból a régióból, ahonnan a Sepultura és a Sarcófago is. Azért vagyunk itt, hogy megmutassunk nektek a zenénket, amiket nagyban inspiráltak ez a két csapat és pl. a Morbid Angel is.
A dalaink karakterét a brutalitás adja, de nem ez a legfontosabb számunkra a zenében, hanem inkább a melódiák.

Hungarian: 
A zenekar 2011-ben alakult, a kezdetekkor csak én és Guilherme voltunk, házi projectnek indult még 2006-ban általam, de nem találtam senki más magam mellé, majd később álltunk össze Guilherme-mel.
Jelenleg az osztrák Neciferrel turnéztok. Milyen a körút eddig?

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Eddig volt egy német buli, majd romániai dátumok következtek.
Nálatok két koncertet nyomunk, egyet itt, egyet meg Budapesten, majd osztrák dátumok következnek. Aztán a turné végén még visszatérünk Németországba két további koncert erejéig.
Igen, Németországban kezdtünk, majd a másik…
Igen, a másik az Csehország volt.

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Két napja nyomtuk az első show-t a Neciferrel, nagyon jól sikerült. A srácok nagyszerűek arcok, a turné pedig nagyon jó. Ma itt játszunk Debrecenben, aztán folytatjuk.
Honnan jött az európai turné lehetősége?
Nagyon jó barátságban vagyunk a Krow-val, ők már háromszor jártak Európában. Guilherme, a gitáros-énekesük jó cimborám.

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Facebookon ismertem meg őket az Axa Valaha Productions által, ott kezdtünk beszélgetni, két év után pedig lett is volna pár koncertünk itt, de végül csak idén jöttünk el, mert akkoriban adódott pár probléma a zenekaron belül.
De most végre itt vagyunk és nagyon izgatottan megyünk végig a túrán.

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Az első és eddigi egyetlen anyagotok 2013-ban jelent meg. Várhatóak új megjelenések a jövőben?
Igen, tavaly rögzítettük az első videoklipünket, és jelenleg is dolgozunk egy új CD anyagon és új videoklipen, aminek a végső fázisában vagyunk már.
Azt beszéltük, hogy még idén megjelentetjük valamikor, már tényleg csak kis hiányosságok vannak, bemegyünk a stúdióba és megcsináljuk.
Hamarosan színpadra léptek, így elérkeztünk az utolsó kérdéshez. Tudnátok ajánlani más helyi zenekarokat is a szülővárosotokból?

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Igen, persze, ahogy mondtuk nagyon komolyan veszik nálunk a srácok a zenélést. Sok tehetséges fiatal van.
Diegonak a zenekar más tagjával is van még közös bandája, oldschool thrash-t játszanak Hammerthrash néven, nektek is ajánlom srácok, nagyon jók, kiváló dalokkal és pár nap múlva új dolgokkal fognak előállni.
Jelenleg stúdiózzuk az új albumot, ami szerintem az idei nyár derekán fog megjelenni.

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Ahol mi élünk vannak más csapatok is, de nem valami nagy a metal színtér, viszont az underground erős. A bandák jó barátságban vannak, egyik csapat segíti a másikat.
Vannak alternatív hardcore és thrash csapatok is, akikkel jóban vagyunk, sok jó zenekar van a városban.

English: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hungarian: 
Igazából azt is meg akartam kérdezni, hogy szerintetek mi Dél-Amerika titka, hiszen tudjuk, hogy az egyik legnagyobb ott a metalkultusz. Ezrek rajonganak ott ezekért a zenékért. Mit gondoltok?
Szerintem a brazil metal titka a zenészek kreativitásában rejlik.
Brazília nagy ország, sokan játszanak hangszeren és sok különböző stílus létezik.
Mindenféle hatások érik a zenét, kicsit innen, kicsit onnan is, aztán a legjobb részeket egybegyúrják a zenészek, ez a titok, a kompozíció mögötti kreativitás.

Hungarian: 
Ha megnézed az összes csapat sokrétű.
Számomra a brazil színtér… Nagyon szeretem!
Bár jobban szeretem az underground csapatokat a mainstream vonalnál, mert sok barátom van, akik ilyen zenekarokban játszanak.
És mind olyan, hogyha meghallod, akkor leesik az állad, hogy „Mi ez? Ez nagyon jó!”
Nagyon jó az országban az underground, jobb zenekarok vannak, mint bárhol.
Rendben srácok, köszönöm a beszélgetést, élvezzétek a bulit!

English:

Köszönjük headbangerek az interjút, mi vagyunk a Murder Worship! Minden jót!
