REMINISCING ON RAMMSTEIN'S ALBUM SEHNSUCHT

I'm sure a lot of you metalheads recall this band's album. This is something new Underground Noise is trying out while taking a small break from reviews and interviews, we're remembering certain albums we can still jam this day like as if it were yesterday the album came out. Du Hast being the hit off the album is what made them stand out from some bands from when they appeared in 1999 with a Grammy for releasing Du Hast. Now they sing about wonder bras? Hey guys, get back to the Sehnsucht days at least that's the Rammstein I remember and won't forget. EVILVENGEANCE666 is outta here for now, but just wanted to see how this works out for those who can recall old albums that most of us still enjoy today. KEEP YOUR HORNS UP EVERYONE!!!!!!!! \m/-_-\m/

INTERVIEW WITH VOCALIST KRIS BOLTON OF UNMERCIFUL (HIS FIRST OFFICIAL INTERVIEW!)

UNMERCIFUL.........this band crushes the minds of many in brutal & barbarous ways, and I am pleased to announce the NEWEST interview with the vocalist of Unmerciful; Kris Bolton who will be on the upcoming NEW album.

UN: What prompted you to become a musician?

KB: Honestly, I wanted to be in music as long as I can remember. When my High School buddies and I used to hang out, I was never really instrumentally inclined, but I would always try and do vocals for them...Badly of course at first, but like any skill you practice and improve. I've always wanted to be loud, really fucking loud! Doing vocals grants that wish for me.

UN: Who are your influences both musically and personally?

KB: My parents were always great influences music wise. My biological father would always have records, tapes & CD's to listen to. Music like: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Ozzy and Judas Priest, but the list goes on. My Dad (Keith- the awesome man my mom married when I was 12) was in metal bands in the late eighties. He had a love for heavy music that he would always share with me and to this day he and I hang out and show each other new bands we're stoked on. My mother was always letting me listen to music other parents would frown upon or judge her character because she wasn't pushing church music or pop crap on me. Alright, here's a list of bands I took influence from for my style: Fear Factory, Machine Head, Motorhead, Behemoth, Bloodbath, Byzantine, Lamb of God, Dying Fetus, Gojira, Meshuggah, Pantera, Hate Eternal, Hypocrisy and Suffocation. There are like a million more I'm sure, but that's all I can remember right now.

UN: Are there any places in the world you haven't been, but have always wanted to see?

KB: Man, I really wanna see Europe of course. I want to play shows there and meet awesome people. Australia would be cool too. Japan, I hear the fans in Japan are crazy!

UN: What has been the worst thing to happen to you while being in Unmerciful?

KB: The worst thing that has happened to me in Unmerciful is kind of a toss up. Most recently, my appendix blew up...twice. I have Crohn's disease so my guts being in pain is kinda normal to me. I went 10 days without going to the doctor because I thought I was just having a flair up. Finally my guts doctor told me to the ER and reluctantly I took his advice. Good thing I finally did or I might not be here to answer these questions now. Apparently I have a stupid high tolerance for pain and also I'm stupid for being hard headed. Anyhow, I got the junk that was festering inside. My body was sucked out with plans to remove my appendix by the end of January. Unfortunately, for me my appendix said "Fuck that!" and blew up again! This time doctors used terms like "Jeez, your appendix is angry!" and "There is just a bunch of nastiness inside you." and my personal favorite was "Kris it looks like a bomb went off in your guts." I'm a little lighter than most people in the intestinal area now, but shit I'm alive so that's nice I guess. The other thing that really sucked was the day/night we lost Justin in Vegas. I really thought for a while there that I was going to have to return to my hometown where Justin & I grew up and tell all of his and I's friends that I lost him somehow and he's now dead. On that entire day, most of Unmerciful was trashed. We all got really lucky that he just decided to sleep in the desert.

UN: What song or songs by your band are your favorites and why?

KB: My favorite Unmerciful songs are the ones that get people going nuts in the pit! Shotgun Sodomy, Legion of Sickness & Cast To Flames. A couple of new songs off the new demo Abscission & Enduring Torture.

UN: Do you keep in contact with the fans and bands you meet while on tour?

KB: Honestly my favorite thing about being in a band is all the badass people I've met while out on tour or having bands come through our town and playing with us. I will never refuse a friend request or refuse to talk to a fan. I love getting into discussions about music and just life with anyone who wants to know me. So many awesome people have opened their homes and lives to us while we are touring. So, I want to say thanks to all of them especially!

UN: What has been the most difficult thing you've encountered while being on tour?

KB: The most difficult thing about being in a band and on the road is being away from your family and friends. My beautiful wife and kids are hard to leave, even for a weekend!

UN: What is the next step for Unmerciful?

KB: Getting this new album done! Seriously, the loyal Unmerciful fans deserve new music! We are getting ready to unleash a heavier, faster, more evil and most importantly; a more aggressive Unmerciful beast upon the world! I cannot fucking wait!

UN: Any last words for Underground Noise?

KB: When Unmerciful comes to town know this: Either get in the pit, or we will. Seriously...Albuquerque, Phoenix, Lake Tahoe & even K.C. knows what's up! It gets cramped up on stage if you aren't gonna use the pit for its intended purposes either the mic and cord or sometimes the whole band (excluding King because you know drums and shit) will get on the floor! Thanks to you Alex and Underground Noise for wanting to interview me! Keep it heavy, and I hope to see all of you very soon! Hail Satan & Awaken Cthulu!

Here is Kris showing off his brutality, LIVE.

KNELL- ZERO HOUR (FIRST USA ALBUM REVIEW)

Here comes yet another Extreme Metal band blasting from Chile known as Knell. These guys are talented in a lot of ways, and use an interesting, yet unique style of Death Metal, Metal & a Black Metal sound. In some spots they remind me of early Vomitory, and in others they remind me of Solace of Requiem. Knell will catch you off guard with their sound. It sucks that some South American Metal bands don't get enough credit. I must say though, I've reviewed a few bands from there and they are amazing. I really like Knell and I think anyone who likes this style of music would have to agree. The vocals are really barbaric, the guitars and bass shred hard & the drums are very clear and proficient. I recommend this to new listeners, because this band is one that will tear your flesh apart. The harmonies in the ending solo in Dead Eons is what makes it memorable to me. Catchy riffs in each song too. I've never in my life come across a band like this before. For instance, the song Machtenkrieg has very little clean vocals to blend into their sound. So folks, give Knell a chance. I'm giving this debut album Zero Hour a 9/10 stars. It's damn good. SO METALHEADS BOTH SISTERS AND BROTHERS, SUPPORT KNELL, SUPPORT UNDERGROUND NOISE, SUPPORT UNDERGROUND METAL, SUPPORT SOUTH AMERICAN METAL FROM CHILE, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MUSIC SCENE, AND MOST OF ALL: KEEP YOUR HORNS UP!!!

MARASMUS- INFINITE TORTURE (NEW 2014 EP REVIEW)

If you liked Mountains of Dead, then you are going to fucking LOVE the new EP coming soon by Marasmus entitled Infinite Torture. Badass shredding as always with brutal guitars that have added some harmonies to their sound, but bringing a disease with what they do which no one will be able to rid themselves of. Trust me, this NEW EP is EPIC. From what I've heard I am going to give a 9.5/10 stars just by how this band has expanded their sound into a NEW dimension of Extreme Metal music, and I don't think the band gets enough credit. Marasmus has had many opportunities to share the stage with bands like Nile & Overkill to name a couple. So until next time metalheads across the world: KEEP SUPPORTING THE UNDERGROUND METAL SCENE, SUPPORT MARASMUS, SUPPORT UNDERGROUND NOISE, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MUSIC SCENE, AND YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER BY NOW...KEEP YOUR HORNS UP!!!! \m/-_-\m/ This is your friend Alex Stockholm signing off for now, also known as EVILVENGEANCE666!!

PLOY FOR EXTINCTION- PRIMORDIAL (ALBUM REVIEW)

Here comes a kick ass melodic death metal band known as Ploy For Extinction. These 4 dudes are based out of Denver Colorado where they stand out from a lot of bands nowadays. Having a very unique sound is what makes PFE amazing. It reminds me of early In Flames, At The Gates & Imperanon (R.I.P.). This band can go from really hard and catchy shredding riffs to random acoustic interludes to beautiful, melodic twin guitar attack solos. Ferocious vocals, blazing guitars, bass & destructive drums. If you are into the bands I've mentioned, then hit up Ploy For Extinction. This is a band I believe will make people headbang with purpose.  Added clean vocals make them interesting and diverse to the listener. I'd have to say that Primordial is a good album indeed. I will give this album 8/10 stars. I like them. To me, they do have a melodic death metal sound along with a catchy thrash metal influence. Until next time ladies and gents, this is your friend EVILVENGEANCE666 signing off for now. KEEP SUPPORTING UNDERGROUND METAL, UNDERGROUND NOISE, PLOY FOR EXTINCTION, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MUSIC SCENE & MOST OF ALL: KEEP YOUR HORNS UP!!! \m/-_-\m/

JAY BARNES VOCALIST FROM LUST OF DECAY INTERVIEW!!!!!

All right everyone, it's about time Underground Noise is over with its break. I have received answers from Jay Barnes from Lust of Decay to help promote this web-zine and his band. I must say, I am a proud owner of the album Kingdom of Corpses and can't wait to enjoy their NEW stuff once it's out. So here is the latest with Underground Noise & Jay Barnes from Lust of Decay.

UN: What prompted you to become a musician?

JB: Well what prompted me to be a musician when I was growing up was to get girls lmao, but then I grew to love the music more and more. I was listening to bands like Iron Maiden, Slayer & Metal Church to name a few. A friend of mine turned me on to Obituary, Sepultura & Death. It warped my mind and I was like, "This is the music I want to play." By the way, I was a bass player before becoming a vocalist. I'm a better vocalist than a bass player lol.

UN: What has been your favorite country to perform in?

JB: My favorite place to play is in the good ole USA for now. We've got some plans to spread the sickness to the world in 2015, so stay posted. Some of my favorites are; South Carolina, Colorado, Nevada & New York to name a few. I have loved everywhere I've played for sure.

UN: What song by your band is your favorite and why?

JB: I have two favorites. Scarification off of Purity Through Dismemberment & Crustacean Masturbation from Kingdom of Corpses. I love Scarification because the music makes me want to jump in the pit and bust someone's head and the reason I love Crustacean Masturbation is because it's the only song I helped write with an instrument, so it's kind of my baby lol.

UN: Who are your influences both musically and personally?

JB: My influences musically are Deicide, Death, Sinister, King Diamond, Lividity, old Morbid Angel, Dark Angel and Hate Eternal. My personal influence goes to my friend Scott Strange. In my opinion, he was ahead of his time. His band Necrocist was around when Morbid Angel was starting out in Charlotte NC. Morbid Angel is originally from Charlotte, and Scott's band sounded a lot like them. He introduced me to them when I was younger. He taught me everything about being a real musician.

UN: What do you find to be the most difficult while touring and do you keep in contact with the fans you meet?

JB: The hardest thing about touring is getting enough sleep and the long rides, but playing for our brothers and sisters of metal makes it all worth it. I really love touring and meeting new people and places. Yes, I do stay in touch with people I have met on the road and fellow musicians.

UN: What is next for Lust of Decay?

JB: What's next for LOD is for us to write a new album, it's been way too long. We'd like to get back on the road and tour again. We are working on making this happen right now. Stay tuned into our site for more info.

UN: How would you describe Lust of Decay's music to those who don't know about you?

JB: The only way I can describe our music is fast, groovy, slamming breakdowns with technical parts along with machine gun drumming and gutter vomit pig vocals and we like to write songs about sexually disturbing things.

UN: Any last words for Underground Noise?

JB: I would like to thank Underground Noise for the interview. It is an honor. Thanks also for supporting the Death Metal scene. Until next time, keep it sick and brutal. Thanks again brother!
