n our constant search for the most extreme music over this fucking world, we found this English entity, playing an obscure blend of Death and Black Metal; this band brings a fresh air blow to the Death/Black Metal scene. “One Nation Under Goat” is their second and most professional work at the time, this Mcd contains the essence of this band in form of five tracks full of brutality and darkness… So, we decide to contact and ask them what the hell are in their impure minds and blackened hearts….

BB: First I would like to thank you for giving us this interview? Can you tell us about Necrosadistic Goat Torture beginnings?

Well, our beginnings were forged in metal and alcohol, at our drummer's birthday. A couple of weeeks later we were already rehearsing, so these "beginnings" did not take too long.

BB: I read the name Necrosadistic Goat Torture comes from a medieval torture… Can you tell us more about it?

The Inquisition used to practice a form of torture where a prisoner would be tied down, with their feet bathed in salt solution. A goat would then lick their feet with its rough tongue, wearing the flesh away until a confession was extracted. Another reason for the name was a litre of Absolut vodka, after which you would not feel any pain from torture at all, even that carried out by the most vicious inquisitorial sadist.

BB: I think your music is very hard to categorize… we can find many different influences in your music…How you define the sound of Necrosadistic Goat Torture?

We would define ourselves as a death metal band with an injection of black and thrash. We write without giving a fuck about the genre, as long as it is fucking extreme.

BB: I have read many good reviews of “One Nation Under Goat”, but I haven’t found anything about your previous work… How was the reception of “Necrosadistic Goat Torture Demo’03?

The demo was printed in a limited edition of 90 copies, had an atrocious production, and was basically a rehearsal where we played the songs straight one after another. However, we have got most of our gigs on the strength of that demo, even before anyone heard "One Nation Under Goat"

BB: In the Lyrics-section of your homepage there is a song called “Immortals” where can we found this song? …By the way, what’s the name of the last track of “One Nation Under Goat”?

Immortals is a very old song from our former guitarist Matt. It was originally written for his death metal band called Uziel in which he used to play when he was in Poland. The song has been recorded for our new mini-album, and has been played live many times.

The last track is a special song written by Goatmaster when he was a 15 year old kinder-metal idiot, and is called Hamsterfucker. While most of our music is very serious and intricate, alcoholic hallucinations sometimes inspire us to greater things.

BB: Talking about the lyrics, you seem to be highly influences by the dark side of humanity… What do you think the principal expression of inhumanity of mankind is?

What we mean by the dark side of humanity, is not "inhumanity" as such, it is the self-denial by humans of their animal nature, the conformity of the human herds. While we are at the top of the food chain, we act like the most pathetic fucking sheep. We have a line in one of our songs - "we can't do anything, yet everything is permitted to us" - most people know this, but are too afraid to live their life to the full, instead preferring drudgery and a vegetative existence.

BB: Your music seems to be not only influenced by metal bands, in fact, I think there are some strong Classical Rock traces in your music, specially in some, quite unusual structures…What bands, directly, influenced the sound of Necrosadistic Goat Torture?

In fact, the influences are not from classic rock, but from classical music, and any similarity to classic rock bands come from the fact that they were influenced by classical music as well. The members of NGT listen to a wide range of metal, and classical. Our influences range from Bach, Krisiun, Cryptopsy, Dissection, Mussorgsky, Edge of Sanity, Unleashed, Malevolent Creation, Testament etc.

BB: The name “One Nation Under Goat” is quite intriguing… is there any concept behind this name? Is this Mcd a conceptual work?

The name comes from the American bullshit phrase "One Nation Under God". Since we are all from different countries, we decided to mock one of the biggest nations in the world. We don't know anything about god, but we know a lot about goats.

BB: Can you tell us about the recording and composition processes of “One Nation Under Goat”?

Once we cure our hangovers with a timely can of Carlsberg (among others), the Goatess and Goatmaster meet and spend hours with each others guitar ideas and arranging them. Often one of us comes with a nearly finished song, while the other acts as an arbiter of quality and adds some unexpected chord progressions and scales.

BB: I was greatly surprised by your musical level and I was even more surprised when I knew you haven’t signed with any label yet…Have you received offers of some label?

We have been offered some deals with underground labels, but we rejected them. We can release our material on an underground level ourselves - which is not always easy due to our perennial cashflow crisis. However, we a re interested in a deal, but one which is mutually beneficial. We put our last money into our recordings, and we will never settle for a shit production.

BB: It seems you have a quite extensive “live” experience… Can you tell us about your live shows?

We have played shit loads of gigs in and around London, as well as Scotland and Northern Ireland. Our shows are always different - but our music kills at least a few people in the audience. One "interesting" gig was when we played at the Destruction Fest in front of a bunch of people that worship some bloke that let himself be nailed to a cross. At the end of our live assault our guitarist smashed his guitar, blood covered propaganda leaflets were thrown in the audience, and the Goatess decided to see what the bearded one on the cross felt, so she put on a crown of barbed wire. It was fucking chaos.

BB: The United Kingdom has a really wide and well-known Metal scene… can you tell us about the really underground UK scene? Is there any band you can recommend to us?

We get a lot of great shows here as we have very dedicated promoters in London.  The UK scene has some very interesting bands, as well as the old gods such as Bolt Thrower, Benediction etc. Desecration kills with their thrashing death metal assault, as well as some of the sickest lyrics ever written, for which they we even prosecuted. Illegiance from Northern Ireland are young but play the most genuine thrash without pretension. Putrefy are from  Northern Ireland as well and play bestial gore death metal. Adorior execute with their blackened chaos, but play only once a  year. It is fucking difficult to be a UK band, especially one from London, because this is a very expensive country, and it takes some survival skills to be a msuician in London, especially if you want to break out of the UK.

BB: What do you think about today’s Black Metal scene? (This is an obligatory question…jeje) What’s your opinion about the rising NSBM scene? (This is another obligatory one…)

While there are a lot of black metal bands today, a lot of the originality which the first bands posessed has been lost - you have to trawl through a morass of typical, badly recorded Darkthrone worship until you find something worthy. A lot of the old bands have gone in "experimental" directions which devalue what they have done before - I think you know who we are talking about. We play the metal of death, so we do not have that much interest in that scene. As a band, politics do not concern us - and putting too much political content into metal is not what it is about. Whatever side of the political spectrum it comes from.  While there are some good bands in the NS scene, we do not understand how they can worship a regime that would ban such forms of musical expression as theirs. As a band, we think that you do not need to be a slave to other people's ideologies and dogmas, Satanism, Paganism, NS or whatever.

BB: What do you think the future of extreme music is?

Some bands becoming so experimentally gay that it hurts, as well as some bands which are extreme in ways never anticipated before.

BB: What are your future plans? When can we expect a new Necrosadistic Goat Torture work?

We are planning some European live assaults later on this year, as well as releasing a new MCD. An alcoholocaust in Poland might be happening in the summer. The new CD is finished, and should be available in March or April. If you liked "One Nation Under Goat", this new one, with our new lineup, will fucking execute you.

BB: Thanks again for your time… Is there anything else you want to add to this interview?

A Necrosadistic Hail to all worshippers of the metal of death! Drink, fuck the goat or each other, you can drink with us, but you can't fuck with us!!!! May the Goat be with you!!!!!!!!
