Well, for all of you who don't know who Black Witchery
are, I'll describe you their music with just few words: raw, barbaric
and blasphemous Black Metal massacre !! Their "Desecration of
the Holy Kingdom" album is a pure onslaught of barbaric black/death
metal, and I think will be loved by all those who appreciate bands
like Blasphemy, Beherit, Bestial Warlust, etc.. in the same way that
all wimps who think Black Metal is nice keyboards and sweet ghotic
lyrics will hate it !! A band without compromises that can really
kick your ass !! Hails Impurath! Black Witchery is absolutely one of the most extreme and blasphemous hordes from USA. I'd like to know what inspires you creating your raw songs, and how much is important for you the musical influences from your country (from where, as everybody should know, come so many brutal and death metal bands)? I have always been heavily into the most extreme, satanic and underground black/death metal so it is natural that Black Witchery is raw, dark, hateful and blasphemous! We don't care about stupid shit like clean production, guitar solos, technical or melodic stupid riffs or anything of that nature we only create black/death war metal to create the overwhelming atmosphere of true darkness, evil and hellish blackness! I don't care about any American bands and we are not influenced by any US death metal or black metal, so many weak bands fuck off to them all of course I worship the early cult recordings of Possessed, Slayer, Necrovore, Morbid Angel (w/Browning only!), NunSlaughter, etc. but all of the newer ones (even the ones we are friends with) are fucking weak and don't seem to take inspirations from cult hordes like Blasphemy, Sarcofago, Necrovore, Beherit, etc they only say they do! The characteristic of your songs is the brutal and totally aggressive atmosphere you produce with your music: I remember the first time I heard you it was like to be in the middle of a violent fight. What was your intention while you were creating "Desecration of the Holy kingdom"? To invoke the most destructive, morbid and evil dark black/death/war chaos metal monument!!!!!! We wanted it to stand out above all of the worthless shit that people call "black metal" today and more importantly, it had to crush us and be a true testament to our overwhelming hatred for humanity, god and all the feeble white light follower of His name I can say, looking at your lyrics, your image and so on, you are very interested into Satanism and blasphemy; do you consider this kind of topic essential to create violent Black Metal such as yours? It is the only way. In your album you salute, besides Blasphemy, Conqueror and so on, Mortuary Drape. Now, they are from my country, so I'd like to know why do you like this cult act from my home country and if you know some other Italian bands. Fuck yes, you should be proud to be from the same country as such a cult and original black metal occult necromancer horde!!!! Every member of Black Witchery worships M.Drape and we have been in contact with them for a few years now so they are one of the truest and longest standing bands in the real underground and have never betrayed their style!!! The only other Italian bands I listen to are Black Prophecies and Necrodeath (1st Lp). What's your vision of Black Metal? It's just a weapon against christianity or even something more? A strong weapon (in our case) AND very much more than that. I think that a live show of Black Witchery is really a hell !! Have you planned some live dates supporting "Desecration of the Holy Kingdom"? Can I have some hopes to see you touring through Europe (or better, here in Italy !!)? Black Witchery is a complete onslaught of merciless terror live!!! We are very confident in playing live and we concentrate on performing the most aggressive and hellish necro-pounding torment when on stage! Fuck all of these wimp black metal bands who perform with their stupid fuckin' clown paint (why the hell would a black metal band wear white corpsepaint?!?!) faking their weak musical bullshit! And actually yes, we are planning a minitour through central Europe (Germany, Belgium, Austria) in late sept so anyone into real black speed desecration should contact us for the dates. I think that for a guy who consider cradle of filth and other bands like them "black metal" (sic !!), listening to Black Witchery could be a terrible experience What do you think of this kind of dummies that think Black Metal is lovable keyboards and choirs, stupid vampiric attitude and so on? Fuck off to all of them, and also the fuckin' false Norse core faggots who claim to play "raw" and "brutal" black metal full of melodies and stupid meaningless riffs the black metal scene is so incredibly shitty these days that labels are scrambling over useless bands just 'cause they claim to play raw black metal! Fuck all of them!!!! In your lyrics you frequently talk about holocaust, onslaught, war, extermination and so on: do you really think the final solution to clean the world of all miserable souls that wander on it, stands into a final massacre, or it's just a lyrical concept? Both. What are your musical influences? I think that names such as Blasphemy, Conqueror and other aren't distant from your sound Blasphemy, old Bathory, Lord Diabolus demo, 1st Sarcofago Lp, etc. Are you working to a new album? How could be your future new work? Can we expect some radical changes? I really hope you will remain to your roots We will never "progress" musically the only thing that will "progress" is the level of hatred, extreme abhorrence for humankind, and brutality! Have you got some side projects? I have read somewhere that your guitar player, Tregenda, plays in a band totally different from Black Witchery NO. Ok, I stop annoying you with questions and I let you finish the interview as you want: send us your hateful spell All true black souls of morbid metal contact us await the vinyl version of "Desecration of the Holy Kingdom" it shall destroy the feeble Cd version! Anyone interested in Black Witchery merchandise or live attacks email me at warcommand@hotmail.com if you are false, don't entry! Black Witchery I want to thank you for your time and I raise
my axe in honor of Black Witchery. "The flames shall accompany
my Invocations
" As you have read, Black Witchery is not the classic nowadays "black" metal band playing romantic and technic virtuosities, but an extreme and blasphemous horde which wants just to crash and destroy the christian plague... Personally, I like them for this thing. Fuck of sweet black metal shit !!
