Many years ago we agreed to play consecutive shows for a festival which takes place in three different countries. Simply a lovely place to spend the night at. Meaning the carpet in every room was made of trash, maggots in the kitchen on the stove and so on. Well, too bad that person was an alcoholic packrat.
For example, we agreed to save an organizer some money by sleeping at his house after a show. There’s simply so much we experienced – many good but also many bad things. Velnias: After so many years there’s not just the worst or the best experience. TIBM: What has been your best and your worst experience as a musician? Leaving the personal aspects aside, meaning just regarding the music, lyrics and artwork my personal favorite is Mardom. Which makes it difficult to say which one is the favourite one. It brings back good and bad memories – to us, it is much more than just an album.
#DARKENED NOCTURN SLAUGHTERCULT SINGER UPDATE#
Our cooperation continued with Necrovision plus the still update album Mardom. In addition the label more or less barely started, so a good opportunity for both sides to make this experience. To us, it was important to know the people who would “work” on our behalf. We had previously cooperated with the label on other terms namely their major festival (Party San Open Air). With Saldorian Spell our War Anthem Records era started. An artist should focus on the art and not the business. That was impossible and we felt the need to change something about it. In order to handle everything on our own one of us basically had a full-time job next to the regular daily job. Hora Nocturna set an end to the self-released / self-financed era. Thus, we agreed to distribution deals for the second, third and next album “Hora Nocturna”. However, this “popularity” also consumed more and more precious spare time. In terms of “success” or “popularity” Nocturnal March was the most important album. Infamous because it really stirred up the scene back then.Īll of a sudden we experienced a significant increase of attention by minor and major magazines, concert organizers, labels, etc. Our sophomore release was followed up by the infamous Nocturnal March. With every CD we sold we were able to finance the next release. We continued in the fashion of being our own label. In 2001 we released our second chapter Follow the Calls for Battle. The Pest received excellent reactions within the underground, which allowed us to continue self-financed.
Slaughtercult release it remains special until today. That debut MCD was and remains limited to 500 copies. Right away we aimed for the best quaility a newcomer band could get without making any compromises. Back then we decided to self-release and self-finance everything and skip the demo tapes. Velnias: Our discography starts back in 1999 with the debut MCD The Pest Called Humanity. TIBM: Run through your records please man, each and every one of your diabolically delightful discs…. So, most likely we’re heading towards a new album next year. We’ve started rehearsing and therefore also working on new material again. Anyhow, taking a step back and taking time for self-reflection was a good thing for us. Not just because of the lockdowns but also due to some other private reasons (well in the meantime we’ve published Onielars health statement, so you know the reasons). Slaughtercult it obviously meant no concerts and no rehearsals. To be forced to stop what you’re doing and therefore to rethink what you have been doing day in day out can be a valuable thing. Which by the way I still regard as something very healthy. Velnias: As we’ve all experienced by now the pandemic pretty much changed everyone’s daily routines. This Is Black Metal: Hi Velnias, here we are again my friend, I hope time has treated you well since our last encounter… Tell us what you’ve been up to this year so far with DNS… How has the pandemic changed your plans? What have you done to adapt? This Is Black Metal Webzine chatting with Velnias, guitarist and spokesman for the mighty Black Metal machine, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult…. In a row of this DNS is still an underground band, making True Black Metal, which sounds like Norway’s Black metal in the early 90s – the Second Wave of Black Metal.ĭNS is deprecating all influences from other types of Metal, which infiltrated Black Metal in former times. This leads to the point that many people listening to mainstream (Black) Metal, still strongly linked with the mainstream society, are making fun of DNS.
