BLOOD BASTARDS
by: Corix
NB: -bloody greetings to all y’all bastards, what’s up with you guys?
How’s the underground scene in your country?
BLOOD BASTARD [SANDER B.]: -Thanks man, we're great! We're starting to
feel better from 'Surgical Slaughter tour' we did with General Surgery a couple
of weeks ago. It was quite exhausting, haha! I think the Dutch underground
scene isn't too harsh for unknown or starting bands. The scene itself is not as
big as the German scene, like in Hamburg or Berlin, but the crowd is quite open
for new bands.
NB: -what was the story behind in the winter of 1847? What was the
connection of this story to your band?
SANDER B.: -At that time life was hard in the area we live. People
were poor and men had to work hard to keep their families alive. There were
lots of fights between men. Especially when they tried to drink away their
problems. Every now and then there were men killed in these fights. There are
facts known that some men went mad because of the drinking and fighting. The
Bloodbastard was one of those men.We all are interested in the history of our
own neighborhood, so when we read a couple of history books, we decided to name
a band after one of these hardwoking, slaughtering men.
NB: -It is a kind of historical bloody murder in your country, is the
winter 2002, blood bastard officially formed? Can you give us a brief info of
your previous and current releases?
SANDER B.: -Yes, that's right. We officially formed Bloodbastard in
February 2002, shortly after we quitted Lost Euphoria, a doom metal band. The
demo we recorded last year was the first thing we recorded. We released it
ourselves, but we're looking for a label for our upcoming full-length cd.
NB: -what can you say about the scene in your country? And what place
that you really wish to have a tour or to performed live?
SANDER B.: -I think the hardcore, grindcore and metal scene is
becoming bigger again. There has been lots of hardcore-bands the last years,
but there's more and more metal coming up. Places where we'd like to play once?
Let me see, we've played a lot in squats. Some bands don't like to play in that
kind of places, but we do. The atmosphere is simple, honest and true. We like
that. But we'd also like to play in '013' in Tilburg, the Netherlands once.
NB: -who are the bands that you wish to performed live with in a tour?
Could you pls. tell us at least 5 bands?
SANDER B.: -As I said, we toured with General Surgery. Those guys are
really cool, we had a hell of a week with them! We'd really like to play with
them again. One band we would love to play with is Bile (again, haha!), But for
us it’s just having a great time playing our shit, trying to give those who
showed up a good night and getting’ drunk! Music is about the fun and having a
good time, sure it would be great playing with bands we really like but it’s
not thát important. Oké; you want names… Bile, Dahmer, The day everything
became nothing, bloodduster and Replay…
NB: -do you believed in the ethics of D.I.Y? would you like to tour in
a third world country like my country Philippines? with your own expenses?, I
mean, we’ll not shoulder the bands plain ticket.
SANDER B.: -I think all three of us think that way. Unfortunately lots
of other bands don't. All they're up to is making money and be famous. That
shouldn't be your intention of making music. Of course we'd like to play in a
third world country; people are equal, places are equal. Poor or rich. It's too
bad that not everybody thinks that way. We wouldn't mind if a tour like in your
country cost money instead of makes money. The problem is that all of us are
chronically broke, haha!
NB: -what is your main topic in creating lyrical approach? And who
mostly writes the lyrics?
SANDER B.: -Patrick de V. has written all of the lyrics. There isn't
an explicit political message in his lyrics, I think he puts all of his
aggression in it. He isn't some kind of psychopath with a desire to slaughter
(at least, that's what we hope!), he just releases unplaced thoughts this way.
NB: -do you believe in religious sect? What’s your philosophy towards
it?
SANDER B.: -We don't have a specific religion at all, though we
respect anyone else's religion. I understand if someone puts all of his faith
in some kind of religion or sect.
NB: -do you have friends? What do you mean of what you’ve said in your
bios website “WE RAPED, WE KILL, WE THRILL, WE’RE HERE TO END UP YOUR
EXISTENCE”?
SANDER B.: -We don't have friends, because nobody likes us… We just
have each other, haha! No, kidding, we know who our real friends are, and those
people know that.
NB: -do you hate anybody? who do you trust with?
SANDER B.: -We hate people who don't like people because of their way
of thinking or way of living. Oh yeah, we hate dr. McWilliams from General
Surgery because he almost broke our amp.
NB: -do you hail Satan or God? For you, who is the most powerful? GOD,
SATAN or MONEY?
SANDER B.: -That's a great question! I think Patrick de V hails Satan,
but Sander V and I don't hail God, Satan nor money. But if you look honestly, I
think money rules the world.
NB: -where you like to prefer to go when you die? In Heaven, Hell or in
Purgatory? And why?
SANDER B.: -If I'd die I'd like to come back as a pig (not much
different from my current carma, haha!) so I could eat and shit wherever I
want. And to know how the bio-industry is like.
NB: -besides death and horror gore music and all of this brutal thing,
do you listen to non-metal music? Would you like to tell us some?
SANDER B.: -I know Patrick de V listenes a lot to gore and death metal
and grindcore. Sander V listens a lot of kinds of music, from old school punk
to viking metal. I listen to punk and hardcore a lot , but also grindcore and goremetal.
But I also like reggae, so we've got a wide taste of music.
NB: -could you pls. tell us the blood bastard lifestyle? How often you
abuse alcohol and drugs? Are you guys working? Or still studying?
SANDER B.: -We're all working. I don't think there is a 'Bloodbastard
lifestyle', though it would have sounded cool! We drink beer quite often in our
rehearsel shed, but we don't do hard drugs. Especially not heroin; it's too
expensive. We smoke pot now and then.
NB: -alright man, thanx for answering my shits, much respect to you all
of you! you can now do some growling shout outs to anyone...stay sick and
brutal!
SANDER B.: -Thanks to you too man, for interviewing us! Hope to see
you in the Philippines once! Stay Evil!
