Recenze/review - HERETIC WARFARE - Hell On Earth (2020)


HERETIC WARFARE - Hell On Earth
CD 2020, vlastní vydání

for english please scroll down

Ve starém opuštěném domě na konci ulice se odehrávaly divné věci. To byl všeobecný fakt, který se říkal mezi lidmi. Mluvilo se často o tajemných rituálech, o seancích, při kterých se vyvolávaly temné síly. Vysvětlení bylo prozaičtější. Scházeli se tam úchylní sběratelé, kteří si vyměňovali artefakty z vražd, osobní věci sériových vrahů a jejich obětí. Včera tam došlo k velkému násilí. Bodnutí nožem kvůli kousku staré kůže. Kůže, kterou na sobě měla mladá žena, když ji našli zohavenou v močálech. Někdy si říkám, že tenhle svět by si zasloužil zapálit a začít znovu.

Jako takovou očistu, propláchnutí mozku kyselinou, volím tentokrát německé HERETIC WARFARE. Šílence, kteří hrají hrubozrnný, surový death metal. Muziku, která by mohla znít jako nějaké memento i na místech zmiňovaných v úvodu. Jakoby smrt chodila při poslechu přímo kolem mě. S nožem v ruce a lehkým úšklebkem na tváři.

 

HERETIC WARFARE jsou jako lavina, smršť, tsunami, které nezná slitování. V určitých momentech svým tlakem připomínají HATE ETERNAL. Zazní ale i poctivý thrash metal. To vše smíchané ve smrtícím koktejlu. Vynikající bicí, chorobný vokál, zdrcující riffy. Dohromady působí jako velká zeď z lebek, která na vás padá. Viděli jste někdy oběť, které někdo ustřelil hlavu brokovnicí? Že vám to připadá nechutné? Tak to jste ještě neslyšeli "Hell On Earth"! Atmosféra nahrávky je o hodně drsnější, syrovější, naléhavější. Na posluchače je postupně vyvíjet tlak a nahromaděná energie se mu postupně zadírá pod kůži. Svět není už dávno dobré místo k žití. Až jednou potkáte někoho zlého, pusťte mu HERETIC WARFARE pořádně nahlas. Mám rád podobně znějící, upřímný, poctivý death metal, u kterého se nezapomnělo na dobré řemeslo. Němci ale také přidávají něco navíc. Vlastní výraz, temnou energii, chlad a na kusy nasekané maso. Někdy, když sleduji večerní zprávy, tak se mi chce z lidí zvracet. Troufám si tvrdit, že "Hell On Earth" patří v rámci stylu k nejlepším debutům letošního roku. Až půjdu zítra do domu na konci ulice, vezmu si album s sebou. Má v sobě totiž obrovskou sílu a brutalitu! Death metal, který zabíjí na potkání!


Asphyx says:

Strange things were happening in the old abandoned house at the end of the street. That was the general fact accepted by people. There was often talking about mysterious rituals and sessions where forces were evoked. The explanation was somewhat more prosaic. Crazy collectors gathered there and exchanged murder artefacts, personal belongings of serial killers, and their victims. There was a lot of violence there yesterday. Somebody got stabbed by knife because of an old leather patch. The leather the young woman was wearing when they found her mutilated in the swamps. Sometimes I think that this world deserves to be burned down and started again.

As such a cleansing and rinsing process of the brain with acid, this time I choose a German band called HERETIC WARFARE. Madmen who play hard core raw death metal. Music that might sound like a memento even at the places mentioned in the introduction. It was as if death walked right past me as I listened. With a knife in her hand and wearing a slight grin on her face.


HERETIC WARFARE is like an avalanche, cyclone and tsunami that knows no mercy. At certain moments, the pressure resembles HATE ETERNAL. But there is also a pure thrash metal. All mixed in a deadly cocktail. Excellent drums, sick vocals, crushing riffs. Together, they look like a large wall of skulls falling on you. Have you ever seen a victim whose head was blown away with a shotgun? Do you find it disgusting? Okay but wait till you hear "Hell On Earth"! The atmosphere of the recording is much rougher, rawer, more urgent. Listeners are gradually put under pressure and the accumulated energy gradually gets under their skin. The world is no longer a good place to live. If you meet someone bad, play HERETIC WARFARE really loud to him or her. I like similar-sounding, honest death metal, which has not abandoned a good craft. But the Germans are also adding something extra. Own expression, dark energy, cold and chopped meat. Sometimes when I watch the evening news, I want to vomit. I dare say that "Hell On Earth" is one of the best debuts of this year in terms of style. Tomorrow when I go to the house at the end of the street, I'll take the album with me. It packs tremendous strength and brutality! Death metal that kills at first sight!

A few questions - interview with death metal band from Germany - HERETIC WARFARE.

A few questions - interview with death metal band from Germany - HERETIC WARFARE. 

Answered guitarist Ingo, thank you!

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.? 

Yeah ,we are Jan Wiltschut (vocals) ,Lukas Hülserman ( bass ) Jan Hageman( drums) and Ingo Fussangel ( guitar) ,and we are Heretic Warfare from Münster,Germany! Our band was founded by me ( Ingo) , Jan Wiltschut and our former bassplayer Toshi in 2012! 

We play a wild bastard out of fast deathmetal like early Deicide and brutal thrashmetal like Dark angel ! I think everyone of the old great deathmetalbands had thrashroots, so you can call it deathmetal! 

 

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering? 

We were in a little studio in Bremen, Germany. It is called „Sunsetter Recording Studio“! We had just a week ,so we slept there ,ate there and forgot about time and space, and worked from early morning until one or two at night . 

It was an intense and exhausting experience ,but the encouragement was worth it ! Fabian Schulz recorded us and was also in charge for mix and mastering. He did a great job...no one was hurt, hehehe.

How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)? 

We made 1000 copies of the cd! I hope they will sellout after this interview so we can make the next 1000 (: Vinyl will be released by MyRuin records ca. end of february ! It is digital on Bandcamp and Amazon.


Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with? 

The Lyrics are written by Jan (vocals) who takes a lot of time finalizing them. The lyrics are complete fiction basicly painting a picture of a war torn dystopian future. Jan describes a world of death and destruction on a galactic scale with an undertone of irony against religion and god. The lyrics are not political in any way apart from that they describe a really messed up future where their is nothing but war and subjugation.... Also Jan is a huge (Comic, Warhammer, SciFi) nerd.

Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important? 

The logo was created by Basil Wrathbone, he also made the Artwork for the Sodom skateboard! (: . We all také care about the graphics and the website ...it is an necessary evil if you want to be noticed, and it has its advantages , i mean i would not do the interview with you without social network. So, yeah unfortunately it is important, hehe 


Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you? 

We just have a Label for the LP! ( MyRuin-Records) We released the cd by ourselfs ,so at this point we are satisfied with us, hahaha...I am not able to say anything about the Label, wich releases the Vinyl, because it will be released end of february and we have no experience with them...i think they will do a good job...i hope for them (: 

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration? 

I ( Ingo,guitar) grew up with the Death and Thrashmetal of the late 80s ,early 90s and that is the stuff i still get my inspiration from . Mostly Bands from USA like Deicide ,Death ,Cannibal Corpse ,Possessed,Sadus ,Dark Angel ,Wehrmacht, Demolition Hammer ...the usual suspects ,ya know. I like the fast aggressive style which beats you up from the beginning ,not to forget Napalm Death and Slayer for sure !! So as i sad i grew up with that ,thats why i have problems to write slow songs ,hehe, it just feels unnatural for me! 

Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response? 

To be honest, we send it to a few small ones ..they had no money because of the fucking covid shit ….so we decided to stay independent ! 

How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best? 

We had a few Clubgigs, and they were all great,because we love playing live! We never played a festival..maybe in the future (: 


What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band? 

To get worldwide attention and hopefully play festivals and many gigs in the future ! Maybe a tour with a bigger band ,that would be nice (: 

How and where can your fans contact you? Can you provide some contact information? 



Just like our Facebooksite ,there you will get all the information you need ..and more ,haha 

Thanx for the interview and all the best for your magazine! 

Stay healthy! 

Thanx for the interview.
