1-) To start, talk us about the history of the band and his respective releases; have the Napalmed been your only project?

Hi Enfermo, Diego and all others. History is very simple. I started NAPALMED band in the mid of `94 year as the one and only "project". Since that date we make noise in different ways of sound spectrum, live and studio as well. Many different releases on various formats were done.


2-) On the going of the composition process, do you like record of a instinctive form, spontaneous way, or have you need preparing before the line of guitars, bass and the time of any song?

The only way of our sound creating is the spontaneous improvisation. Sometimes I only prepare simple conception, structure of composition, nothing more. Other members know these terms just before recording or live performance, but the final sound production is the unvisible communication among all of us. Some of the "studio" recordings are post edited/produced...


3-) You live dwell in a country where some years ago has been under the rule of bolchevick regime, whats was the remains that dictatorship of stalinism leave in the minds of people in the underground scene?

I think it is the same or near to same situation. Most of the culture underground people are/were free and/or open minded. Most of them create their things still the 'same'. Different shit is, that in the 80s was here just one scene we called 'bigbit' (where all unwanted styles were closed as like rock, metal, jazz, alternative, punk, underground, folk ...) now this is completely broken, and each style goes its own way, separately from the other.


4-) Do you like spread yours politic ideology in the lyric with the Napalmed work? Exist those association for the style of your song?

NAPALMED is not based on the lyrics. We have none from our start. I use voice, but as a kind of instrument, only to show my feelings. I scream as a mad-cow, dirty-rotten-imbecil, lunatic w/chaos in his brain. We are abstract noise band, with some industrial parts... flavoured with the portion of electronix...


5-) Have the Industrial/Harsh/Ambient take a kind of abstract message, there a occult idea hidden inside the Napalmed?

Same answer as above. NO MESSAGE here! We make sounds and (some) people listen to them. May be they feel, find or like some attitude in our trax, but the attitude must be there without our will. I only try to do the sounds in the way of good spirits  & postiive vibrations.
No occult, dark, death, Cold Meat Industry, mass murderers, blood, war, end of the world, etc themes, just sound manipulatons in the name of industry.


6-) Whats your opinion about the art conception in the Napalmed; whats you think about the art-music scene?

I do the things around Napalmed as I like. Thats my independency and freedom. If there are people, who like it same as we did the sound and graphic artwork, it is unbelievable GREAT! I like the art-scene: photos, pictures, movies, books, poems ... I like to listen different (DIFFERENT!) sorts of music.

                                                     
7-) Do you think that a great divolgation of your work maybe can begin a distortion and distraction of it; the evolution of the underground was good or worst to this point?

I really don't know. For sure I'll spread my ideas as long as I'll like them. No parallel to the evolution of underground. 


8-) Tell me about the underground czech scene, do know something of brazilian scene, do you like of some band from here?

As we are small land, here's a big metal underground scene. Here are many alternative/rock/jazz bands and techno activists too, but they aren't active as the metal-heads.
About brazilian scene, I'm in touch with some freaks from your country, bu no any extra info, sorry.


9-) To finish, tell me about the future projects on coming with Napalmed band, distro and label.

I work on the first full lenght debut CD of NAPALMED called "Never mind the MSBR, here's the NAPALMED". Edition of 1000 copies will be made. Some of them for sale (about 500) and the rest will be send all over the world as a promotional stuff to let the 
people know about our production. 2 trax/72" on the CD are similiar to the live performances sound.
Anyway I work on the ANOMALOUS SILENCER CD compilation series which is open for all noise, industrial, experimental, ... artists. 'No.6' issue will come soon. All previous numbers are sold out.
Nothing special about my unofficial distribution. Items are changed day by day. I trade alot, so...

Thanx for the place in your zine. All readers feel free to write and help each other.
