Interview with Insanity

 INSANITY

Interview by Corix Baluca

All questions answered by the skin man Criscarcass, in regards of the bands previous MCD-R “BURNING INSIDE”

Hail brother! How’s the fucking Insanity doin’?

We are all fine and ok down here. Thank you, although there no invitation to do live shows recently before. We still manage to get intact despite several line up changes before and even now.

Tell the whole fucking world about you and your band?

Do we have to bro? Well, D.O.D before / Insanity was formed August 2003 [I cant remember exactly. Just browse to our site for it. Hehehehe] http://geocities.com/insanity_cavite

What happen to D.O.D? Why you change name to Insanity? Tel me some story, I’m just curious.

Our name was change because of similarity with other band name like; DANCE OF DECLINE or D.O.D, which I think is from Bacoor, Cavite, and besides our name is DIOCECE OF DARKNESS sounds like a name for a BM bands!! And I don’t want to associate our themes to ‘em so I change it to DAWN OF DESTRUCTION but still sounds like BM with thrash and its ridiculous coz we play deathrock so finally it ended to INSANITY which is perfect theme for us coz we’re all insane and fuck!!!.

Do you consider as D.O.D as a dead band and INSANITY is rising one? Because I know, you are the only original member of Insanity that came from D.O.D?

I don’t consider D.O.D dead or Insanity is you know returning? Coz it’s the same lame band. The only thing that changes is its name, and I personally think nothing has change or evolve with. Our second demo has a straight playing, watch out for our 3rd effort which will be full of blast beat short fast songs. We’re a three piece now with new member. We’ve mixed crust/gore/grind to the fold! And some noise flavor deathrock to irritate those close minded freaks out there. “its garbage shit you know!” hehehehe[sounds]

D.O.D has released a demo called “ Hymms of Plague” what are your plans for that? Would you still release it in a D.O.D banner?

It will be in the Insanity banner for sure. I’ll also be in a cd-r format soon, so do watch out for that, I’m not going to circulate that since all of its original members are already out from the band, its no use in trying, I’m not even gonna play that shit live. Even the “ Burning Inside” mini demo album, it is only a waste!! We’re not the same anymore, although the course as a band…. But I’m proud of that shit!”Hymms of…..is the 1 again, only once…

Tell me about your Insanity’s “Burning Inside” cdr release? You guys join the lo-fi shit jobless production, did you also do some promotion with that release like; promo pack to local zines and webzines?

Nah!! Never!! Only Jobless production dares to exposed that shit of ours. We record everything in a low “NO” budget kind coz I believe that you could have a MEDIUM or ALTERNATIVES! Even if you don’t have a cash. It always must come from the heart. stay true to what you have started and everything will fall to place. Don’t be fucking scared to admit it! And to all those who’ll give it a badass without knowing it first a BIG FUCK YOU’s to’ em!!. Analyzed first before you criticized!! Coz if not, it only shows your stupid enough to it!!

Burning Inside cd-r was a lo-fi shit, do you think new school heads will grab or buy your records? Coz we all know people prepare hi-fi recording than the lo-fi?

Hey! I don’t care! As long as I am happy with my work no matter what. That’s the important thing, I don’t care about the rest. If they like it thanx, if they don’t thanx. That’s it, I’m not here to kiss every ones ass just to please each and everyone of ‘em, if they fuck with me, I’ll fuck with ‘em also!

I know that there are lots of zine/labels and distro that criticized lo-fi shit, what can you say about them?

It’s there own fucking opinion! Let I say before “who cares”! But fuck ‘em! They know nothing! Hey, if you are an old school supporters of the early 80’s you’ll understand the essence of TRUE D.I.Y LO-FI. Corix, you know metal critics are very very hard to please with, you know. Some understand’s some are not. Especially those with “high EGO!” individuals out there, trying to be cool and hip but in fairness they are not! You know why the Philippines never grows up to be competitive to the rest of our neighboring nation? It is because many individuals are close MINDED freaks trying to be somebody but in fact their sounds is even worser than others! Hey! Wake up and smell your own CARCASS before you judge!!

Alright, one of your song “Demon Lust” was one of my personal favorite. What was the song/lyrics talks about? Are you some kind of porn deathrock musick?

It’s about rapist, raping our women and children, those mother fucking drug user/pusher who are responsible for that kind of behavior must all be exterminated! Cut out their penises and choke ‘em to death, while their asses are open wide. Pull their tongues and put some nail to it, up to their asses, make ‘em bleed to death. “no remorse” for those kind of shits!

I have witness you guys performed live once, why and when was the last time you performed live?

Last November 22, 2003 at the Cavite Assault Fest here in Maragondon, Cavite. Why? Not much of invitation to do gigs. Others are far place we could not afford the transportation cost, its too costly, that is the reason why we decline to appear live before, yes there were many offers we couldn’t and besides we are all lazy fuckers hehehehe!

What can you say about our so called metal scene? What can you say about this “PAMETALAN” thing?

There are lot of new comer bands who are actually good but have no exposure. Well, the u.g local scene is growing, lots of organized gigs here and there, audiences comes to watch from different places, zines documents the event, but there others who dissed bands and scene they dislikes and that’s unhealthy mentality! They the once who are gonna destroy the scene. Like I said those close minded freaks!

Give me your top 5 local death metal favorites?

Hmmmm…lets see, emm well, 1. APOCALYPSE – DAVAO, 2. FATAL DESASTER-DAVAO, 3. AL-IBLIS-DAVAO, 4. PATHOGEN-LAGUNA, 5. NUCLEAR PUNISHMENT-CAVITE…I like those because they are so brutal. Talented and humble freaks, and those bands really delivers the GOODS!

Top 5 local black metal favorites?

N-O-N-E!!! I don’t consider the others to be black! They’re fucking LUNATICS close minded sickos with no talent at all! Only mouth for publicity trying to be dark and satanic but they are not! Although some are worth the respect like: FUNERAL FROST AND INCARRION, others are all shit!! DEIFAGGOTS, KORIWHORE, KRASHIT’NAS METAL HAYVOC??? Har har har har oooops, sorry! Hehehehe

Top 5 local zine favorites?

DEAD RECKONING ZINE- LAGUNA, NO BULLSHIT ZINE-CAVITE, CRAPSALAD ZINE-PARANAQUE, TRIPALIUM ZINE-CAVITE, IN DARK PURITY ZINE-LAS PINAS, UNDERWORLD/TRENDCRUSHER ZINE-CAVITE… these people deserves respect for being true and down to earth to their craft and are truly dedicated. There are others well worth the respect but too many to mention with, not metal Hayvoc mind u hehehe! Those guys are nuts! Hehehe! And the bassist is a jerk! Who also acts as its editor!!.

Top 5 local hc/punk?

That would be: A.D.A-Laguna, DROP-Cavite, CENSORSHIT-Cavite, H.F.B-Cavite, and also TOXEMIA hehe- yup! No kidding! I like the guitarist with a long curly hair. Ohh! Didn’t I mention that his also cute? Yup! Yes sir…[haha! I guess, I know that guy! He is so cute, haha!-corix]

You are also involve in writing zine called IMPALED, how many issues you’ve released so far? Tell us your latest issue?

Issue 5 is already finished. 5 issues all in all to be exact, I will be reducing it to merely newsletter due to budget restrictions coz I’m a family man already and we all know that there is no earnings in this kind of work. My zine is only limited, I cant mail stuff all the time coz I’m always short, that’s the reason why my zine is not that known! And I like to keep it that way, it keeps you away from the LIME light of publicity and other shit u.g thing has to offer with. Hehehehe!

And lastly, ‘cuz I’m fucking out of questions, what the fuck happened to LORD CAIPHAS? Is there any deal with DAVAO DEATH DISTRO?

L.C is put on hold for the meantime, it is because of difficulties in looking for a sessionist to go full time on the band. I miss my old bassist, although he promised to return to the band, but that would never happen, coz if I’m not mistaken he’s already married with and are busy concentrating on his job now. He has abandoned the band forever, only me and bryan [L.C guitarist and bass vox are the two orig.]. ‘bout the DDM distro deal I’m afraid, I have no contacts with them ever since our website folded on the net months ago. And I’ve heard that Boyet Solonor will be going to abroad to work hard to earn money and you can only do it if you go abroad were there are lot of opportunities waiting for you, cant blaim him for that decision…

Alright bro! Thank you.

Thanx to this intie. Grind to death! And good luck to your band and zine. Hope that all of us will be united for one cause! I mean we’re all u.g we must support each other and forget about EGO and being close minded individuals. Only then we can strengthen our scene here.
