Hello and welcome to Inside the Darkness.
“Hey & welcome to our satanarchistic dimension.”
- Can you tell our readers a bit about your history, please?
“DW was founded in 1996. Til now we recorded 4 Demo tapes, 4 albums and 1 7" split EP beside some tracks on some samplers. At the moment we working on our 5th album.”
- What bands did you like growing up?
“For me, as a young kid I found my path into Rock and Metal with bands like Van Halen, Accept, AC/DC and Scorpions. Then the road was built and went straight to Thrash & Death Metal til Black Metal in the early 90's which leads me to start doing music myself in 1994. But I'm also a fan of Punk, Hardcore and Industrial.”
- Why did you release so many demos early on? Why did it take so long to record your first album?
“I don't think 4 is many for the time back then. I was involved in other bands and projects as well, so it took some time to take care of recording an album.”
- What are your lyrics about?
“It's classic satanic Black Metal and so are the lyrics. About Chaos, Death and the deepest and darkest things lying in our human kind.”
- Why do you think so many Metal magazines ignore Black Metal?
“Do they? Don't think so. Black metal lost a lot of the dangerous attitude it had back then. Just for the music, it's already becoming accepted and mainstream.”
- Sometimes you sing in English and sometimes in German. Is it to appeal to more people?
“Just depends on my mood and how I want to say something. Some lyrics work better in German, some in English.”
- Are you planning a tour?
“We already played some tours but nothing planned soon yet. But we don't do big tours. We prefer playing festivals, indoor or open air.”
- Do you have a message for our readers?
“Our message? We have no fucking message for anyone besides FUCK OFF!!!We have an advice: Always walk your own path, don't be a stupid follower. Don't kneel for anybody. Hold your head up high and your middle fingers even higher!! Non Serviam!!! Total freedom - total Satanarchy!!!”
Thank you for your time.
“Thanks for your interest.”
