Blaspherian Interview

1. Can you update us with what is going on with Blaspherian these days?
WES-AS FOR THE RECENT ACTIVITIES FOR THE UNHOLY HORDE OF BLASPHERIAN,MAINLY ITS CENTERED AROUND FINISHINING THE SONGWRITING FOR OUR UPCOMING FULL LENGTH,'INFERNAL WARRIORS OF DEATH',AT THIS POINT WE ONLY NEED TO FINISH LYRICS FOR 1 TRACK,AND AN INTRO.

2. DeathGasm is getty ready to re-issue your e.p's how has the support been from the label so far?
WES-I'VE KNOWN EVAN FOR YEARS,IT WAS A NATURAL CHOICE TO WORK WITH DEATHGASM,THEY HAVE AN IMPRESSIVE ROSTER,AND ITS AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF THE DEATHGASM HORDE.SUPPORT AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE IS KILLER!

3. When I listen to your music it is in the doom/death category but the lyrics seem to be more in line with what satanic black metal bands write, is anyone in the band a fan of black metal?
WES-WELL WE ALL ARE.BUT IT COMES MORE FROM THE OLD SCHOOL SATANIC DEATH METAL BANDS,FOR INSTANCE POSSESSED,IMMOLATION,INCANTATION,DEICIDE,MORBID ANGEL.THOSE ARE THE BANDS THAT SPECIFICALLY INFLUENCED THE MUSIC,LYRICS AS WELL AS ARTWORK AND OVERALL METAL ETHICS OF BLASPHERIAN.BUT I CAN SAY NEW VOCALLIST LORD APOLLYON IS DEFINATELY INTO BLACK METAL,EVEN MORE THAN THE REST OF US...

4. What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?
WES-BLASPHERIAN HAVE PLAYED A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF SHOWS.THIS IS BY DESIGN,WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEING THE LOCAL ROCK STARS.WE PLAY SHOWS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY INTERESTING TO US,MAINLY OUT OF THE CONFINES OF THE SHITHOLE KNOWN AS HOUSTON TEXAS.
BEST SHOW SO FAR....IT MAY SEEM STRANGE BUT WE PLAYED IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS,WITH OUR BUDDIES IN VORE.KILLER SHOW,KILLER CROWD AND AN AWESOME TIME.
OUR STAGE SHOW,IN A WORD WOULD BE-CRUSHING.FULL OF HEAVY GUITARS,BLASTING DRUMS,DEEP DEATH METAL VOCALS,INVERTED CROSSES,SMOKE,BLOOD,BLASPHEMY.

5. DO you have any touring plans for the future?
WES-NOT AS OF NOW.WE WOULD LIKE TO PLAY MORE SHOWS,FOR SURE.HOWEVER IT MUST BE WITH THE RIGHT BANDS,AND PEFERABLY OUT OF TOWN,WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN PLAYING HERE.

6.How have doom/death metal fans worldwide react to your material?
WES-SO FAR VERY POSITIVE.WHICH IS A PLEASANT SURPRISE,AS I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE ALOT MORE NEGATIVITY,CONSIDERING WHEN WE BEGAN THIS UNHOLY ENDEVOR,NOT MANY BANDS WERE MIXING SATANIC DEATH METAL,DOOM,ETC.SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE RESPONSE.ITS GOOD TO SEE THE SCENE RETURN TO TRUE DEATH METAL,IN THE UNDERGROUND...WHERE IT BELONGS.HAILS TO THE LABELS AND METAL WARRIORS THAT SUPPORT TRUE DEATH METAL!

7. Out off all the releases the band has put out so far which one are you most satisfied with?
WES-ALL. BUT I THINK THE UPCOMING FULL LENGTH WITH BE OUR SHINING MOMENT.THE NEW TRACKS ARE FUCKIN HEAVY,DARK,SATANIK,AND I THINK IT WILL BE OUR PROUDEST MOMENT.

8. Are there any current side projects going on these days besides this band if so, who are they and what kind of music do they play?
WES-NONE TO SPEAK OF,WE'RE ALL OLD SCHOOL THRASH FANS,I'D LIKE TO GET A RIPPIN THRASH BAND TOGETHER,JUST FOR FUN....NOT TO RELEASE ANYHING,JUST TO JAM,I THINK THAT WOULD BE SICK...AND SPEAKING OF THRASH,CHECK OUT THIS NEW THRASH HORDE FROM GERMANY...CRUEL FORCE,FUCKIN AWESOME BAND.

9. How would you describe your musical progress over the years and what direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
WES-WELL ONE ELEMENT WE'VE ADDED IS MORE SPEED AND AGGRESSION.AND ITS A NATURAL PROGRESSION,WE HAVE'NT ADDED IT FOR TRENDY REASONS.WE WANT TO MIX OUR MUSIC UP A BIT,SO WHEN YOU LISTEN TO A BLASPHERIAN TRACK,YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHATS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.A DEMONIC MIXTURE OF SPEED,DOOM,AND ANYTHING ELSE OUR SICK MINDS COME UP WITH.....

10. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and what are you listening to nowadays?
WES-SATANIC DEATH METAL,BLACK METAL,EVIL THRASH,ALL ARE AN INFLUENCE.IMMOLATION,INCANTATION,DETERIOROT,M.ANGEL,SARCOFAGO,OLD DEICIDE,OLD SLAYER,POSSESSED...AMONG MANY OTHERS.
THESE DAYS WE LISTEN TO ALOT OF THE NEWER DEATH METAL BANDS,INCLUDING FUNEBRARUM,DISMA,GRAVE MIASMA,CRUCIAMENTUM,BLASPHEMOPHAGHER,BUTCHERED SAINT,I LIKE THE NEW DIABOLIC,ABOMINANT,NOMINON,FUCK SO MUCH IS COMING OUT THESE DAYS ITS HARD TO REMEMBER THEM ALL.SO A MIX OF THE ELDER GODS,AND THE NEWER UPCOMING BANDS.....

11. What are some Satanic or Occult philosphers, authors, orders or magickal practices that have had an impact on your views of Satanism?
WES-THE OBVIOUS....LAVEY,CROWLEY,THE NECRONOMICON.ALL CHANGED MY LIFE,AS WELL AS THE BOOK BY CAVENDISH,'THE BLACK ARTS'....AMONG MANY OTHERS.TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION...BUT I WILL SAY THIS TRUE SATANISTS ARE BORN,NOT MADE.YOU EITHER HAVE IT IN YOUR HEART OR YOU DO NOT.
MAN HAS EVERYTHING HE NEEDS FOR SURVIVAL AND HAPPINESS IN HIS MIND AND HEART,TO LOOK FURTHER IS NOT ONLY IGNORANT,BUT DANGEROUS.HAIL SATAN!

12. What are some of your interests outside of music?
WES- REALLY NOT MUCH.I'M INTO DARK,HORROR MOVIES,EVIL ARTWORK,SATANIC MUSIC,COLLECTING RECORDS,ALCOHOL AND PUSSY.THATS ABOUT IT!
13. Any final words or rhoughts?
WES-THANKSFOR THE INTERVIEW AND THE SUPPORT.HAIL ALL TRUE DEATH METAL WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!
LOOK FOR OUR UPCOMING FULL LENGTH,'INFERNAL WARRIORS OF DEATH" ON DEATHGASM RECORDS!!!!!!!!!!!
