Where you in any bands before Judenschinder?
Before Judenschinder, I was in Odoacer (in the style of Merzbow) and Aryan Ablutions (a more complex version of Judenschinder.) Odoacer died very recently, this month, actually, due to increasing disklike to play the same thing over and over without very much influence on the music played. Aryan Ablutions died quite a bit ago with only a four part split with a Persian NSBM band under the title of The True Battlefield. Playing in both was very fun and opened my mind to new ways of playing. In Judenschinder I am in charge of the vocals, drums, and lyrics. Sylvanus is in charge of electric guitar. I am very happy with this because in Odoacer I had practically no control over what was made. All I would do is vocals, nothing else, and it was a really shitty situation because I felt bored and uninterested almost all of the time. In Aryan Ablutions, I had the same control that I had in Odoacer.
What are your influences?
Graveland the most, then there is Celestia, Von, and also Perunwit, since the beginning - mainly influenced me by how I look at music, and well, Graveland the most because without their recordings of old and new, I probably would not be listening to NSBM today or even playing music. Those first Graveland demos gave me some major ideas. I am positive it has done the same for many other musicians out there who make due with what they have. Sylvanus is influenced by Dub Buk, Graveland, and some RAC out there but it doesn't show in the music, he leaves RAC out of it. In the end, you get some very non-complex "Aryan Terror Metal" (NSBM) that drives forward with lyrics of pride and hate, two things we both hold near and dear to our blasphemous Pagan selves.
What demos do you have out or are planning to release in the future?
Judenschinder will be coming out with our first demo "Arisches Terrormetall," I think we all know what that translates to. So mfar, there are three very good tracks completed. More to come soon because of how efficient Sylvanus and I work on material. We both have no idea how long it will be or how many tracks, but I personally would like to have the dmeo be around 30 minutes. Anything less would be rather pointless in my opinion.
Translated into English, Judenschinder means "Jew Oppressor." What made you decide on this name?
We decided on this by means of a two day listing of possible names for the title of our musical union. Sylvanus recommended that should be a title that is in German and in honor or National Socialism. I agreeed and from there we began thinking of possible names like Schweinepriester, Stahl Bestie, Totenkopfhusaren. Those and a few other possible names were discarded. The one remaining was Judenschinder, whch was thought up by Sylvanus and supported by myself because it is what we live for, as far as I am concerned: oppression of a race that has absolutley no honor, reverence, or decency to show! We did not want to go with something mystical or obscure. We wanted something that would both offend and go along with what we have faith in.
Moonblood or Graveland?
As I said before, definitely Graveland. The two demos Necromanteion and Drunemeton really flooded my mind with ideas and respect for bands who work with what they have. Both Necromanteion and Drunementon are good examples of what you can do if you are short on funds and have a desire to please the underground. Moonblood, I listened to much later on after my first experiences with NSBM/BM. I really enjoy listening to Moonblood's raw sound. Great ways of writing music can be seen in a lot of their recordings. My favorite being the track "I Am All" from the Blut und Krieg release. I really respect the fact that they appeal to the more underground oriented listeners. Anyone who refuses to record onto compact discs deserves salutes and praise!
Do you plan on continuing with this band or is this "unofficial?"
I and Sylvanus plan to record under the name Judenschinder for a very, very long time. We both have the same ideas and are devoted to creating and refining the music of Judenschinder. But we have set rules as to what will be played, the biggest being no Satanism, just Paganism and NS lyircs. Nothing complex or overly technical, heavy/violent styled Aryan terror metal that just never lets up. With these in place, I believe, it prevents us from undergoing an unneeded change like the ones Behemoth etc. have undergone for the worse. We enjoy what we play and are happy with it. If someone does not think we know what we are doing or that we aren't true to whatever the fuck is out there to be revered, then they can go fuck themselves.
What are your future plans? Are you currently working with any other projects?
Future plans with myself are very thought over but very straight forward: continue to ake music in Judenschinder, no matter what, as much as possible. Also, to keep things the way we like it. As for plans that have nothing to with music, I hope to soon be iunited with the girl of my dreams, whomever she may be. Also, to remain devoted to the teachings of National Socialism. I have followed it for as long as I can recll and it has never done me any wrong. It has enriched my life and has given me a better understanding of how things are and how things should be! Sylvanus' current plans for the future are somewhat obscure to me at the moment. But I am sure he has the same plans. He is a man with a good head on his shoulders and keeps his health up and all that great stuff. His future looks just as good as mine.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Yes. I hope your zine travels a smooth and victorious trail. I and Sylvanus thank you for the opportunity to share with you our recordings and beliefs.
I don't see any great deal of success or popularity for is in the near future. Just want to make music that is enjoyed by us and the minority that we play for. After all, we are fighting a war for a dying race! I hope that more people will be able to listen to Judenschinder and maybe even enjoy it, but if they don't, it doesn't really matter.
