"When
Morbid Angel was releasing Altars of Madness, SPIRITUAL CARNAGE was breathing
Death Metal in South America..."
Spiritual
Carnage is one of the most important, if not the most important, metal band in Goiânia,
they have started in 1989, a period that had only few metal bands around in Goiânia,
much less a Death Metal band, with an old school style that draws influence
from early Death Metal, like Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse, they survived
trends and the lack of structure of our local scene, gaining a highly
respectable reputation.
Unfortunately
they were never able to tour on our national territory, therefore not getting
the recognition they deserve, I don’t know if it is their own fault or just bad
luck as their music has the quality to make them one of the best bands in
Brazil. Few years ago they tried to organize an European tour but also unsuccessful.
During
all this years, as most bands that last this long, they had some line up
changes with Hemar Messiah the only remaining original member, they released
four demos, PRE-DESTINED DEATH (1990), CREEPING UNDER BLACK SOULS (1992),
SPIRITUAL CARNAGE (1997) e SHELTERED IN FLAMES (2002) and in 2006 they released,
by the label Two Beers Or Not Two Beers, their first album the excellent VOICES
OF DARKNESS, produced by Gustavo Vasquez. They also shared stage with some wicked metal
bands like KRISIUM, DESTRUCTION, TORTURE SQUAD, FUNERATUS, CANNIBAL CORPSE,
SEPULTURA, KORZUS, MASTER, VULCANO and DR SIN.
Now
they are preparing material for a new album and preparing again for an European
tour
Basically
they are the kings of metal in Goiânia and in this city if you call yourself a
metalhead, a headbanger or whatever metal label you like to put on yourself,
you gotta have their album, if you don’t, better sell some of yours Slipknot or
Metallica stuff and get it now!!!

Banda desta semana é oriunda da
Bahia, Vitória da Conquista um lugar onde você ouvi hardcore com sotaque arrastado, colocar para fora toda a fúria e raiva através
da música.
Com a irreverência e falta de compromisso com os padrões comerciais de Nem, o
vocalista, fez o Cama de Jornal (Bed of Newspapers, que melhor significa, estar
em condições de miséria e abandono) ficou conhecida em toda a região. Atualmente
por todo o país, agora espero que com punk rock de Conquista (conquista), eles
também conquistem pessoas subversivas do velho continente.
Foi em março de 2003 já com a formação clássica da banda punk na bateria Helder,
Rosa no baixo, guitarra Lázaro e Nem na voz, gravaram no radioative Hippies estúdio
seu álbum de estréia, intitulado A Revolta Dos Miseraveis.com 10 faixas autorais
e uma cover do Olho Seco. Um ano depois, em 2004, uma demo gravada ao vivo no
Ponto do Rock, no final de 2004 lançaram o cd Comendo Lixo e também gravamos
uma demo com 18 faixas de old school punk rock puro com 16 faixas uma cover da lenda
local Atestado De Pobreza , e outra do Grito Punk , ambos de Vitória da Conquista.

This week's band is originated from Bahia, Vitoria Da Conquista a place
where you hear hardcore with a thick brazilian-portuguese accent, putting out
all the fury and anger through music.
With the singer Nem’s irreverence and lack of commitment to commercial standards,
made the Cama de Jornal (Bed of
Newspapers, that would best means, be in condition of misery and abandonment) became
known throughout the region. Today around the whole country, now hope that with
punk rock de Conquista (conquest), they will also conquest subversive folks of
the old continent.

UZT and conquista underground.
In 2011 the Cama de Jornal completed 10 years of punk rock and they invited nothing
less than the legendary hardcore punk rock band Cólera for the party and recorded a cd / dvd wich put them forever
in the history of Brazilian hardcore punk rock, manly coz months later we became
orphans of a Marvelous person, an odd man, a pioneer of the punk scene, a winner
and revolutionary pacifist, Redson (Cólera) is no longer with us but alive in his
work and in our hearts and minds.
Continuing the commemoration of 10 years in Cama de Jornal they did one mini
tour in the Midwest, the land of pequi, Goiania and Brasilia.
In GOANIA GO
at OLD STUDIO of our Old friend Marcelo (who already is part of Goias’s underground
folklore), where played the bands Descarga Negativa, Geraçoes Perdidas, Entre Os
Dentes Goiania, Horda Punk (SC) and Cama De Jornal (BA). That was how we started
a friendship through the hardcore punk rock, and we will continue this story in
Correntina (BA) July 14, CORRENTEZA FEST.
O Festival Correnteza tem como objetivo inundar a cidade de Correntina-BA com um
fluxo selvagem de música underground, que seja contra os padrões da
mídia capitalista. Como não temos
dinheiro (eu e todas as pessoas que toparam organizar esse evento),
estamos convocando as bandas que possam se interessar em vir tocar, para
juntarem dinheiro para vir tocar, em contrapartida daremos a hospedagem
numa escola pro pessoal e também alimentação e é claro o espaço no
show. O Festival
Correnteza é um evento feito por tod@s que se comprometeram a participar
dele de alguma forma, não um evento onde há uma organização vertical
que busca ter algum tipo de renome ou dinheiro com isso, nunca queremos e
nem vamos querer, esse evento é somente pra fazer a resistência contra a
cultura decadente que temos.

HELLBASTARD is
a Crust Punk/Crossover/Thrash Metal band from Newcastle, England, UK.
Together with AMEBIX and ANTISECT, they are the pioneers of the
crust punk genre. Since then, as most of their peers, they evolved to a more
metal sound.
They are working on a new album, the they promise to be the
angriest and most intimate ever, also soon will be a new video directed by
ANDREW LEFTON, he has just completed the AMEBIX new video "KNIGHTS OF THE
BLACK SUN" for their upcoming teaser 12" to be released shortly on
PROFANE EXISTENCE and ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES exclusively.
HELLBASTARD fly out to SWEDEN next month to play the prestigious
"PUNK ILLEGAL FEST" held yearly near GOTHENBURG, this promises to be
a real feral and wild affair, lasting over three days HELLBASTARD headline the
event on SAT JUNE 25th.
HELLBASTARD
ARE -
JOSH
"BUDA" HARRIS - Drums/Percussion.
PAUL "I NEED SOME CHIPS, MAAAN" O'SHEA -
Bass.
TOM "MOTORMOUTH" MCCOMBE - Guitars/Talking...always,....never
shuts up, talks and talks,...for ever,....always,...for ever.
MALCOLM "SCRUFF",...I'M 43 & WILL NEVER GROW UP" LEWTY - Vocals/Guitars.
DEAN "SPEAK UP A BIT, MATE..." WHITBY. -
Merch/Travel Itinararies/Acommodation Finder/Band Photography/Transport
Executive/Cake and Tea bringer at rehearsals - (the list is a long one)...etc
etc.
Q1.For the case there is anyone that dont know HELLBASTARD, tell
us what is HELLBASTARD?
MALCOLM "SCRUFF"-Hello Kezio,....
MALCOLM "SCRUFF"
I
guess to some, HELLBASTARD is a message. This is where the bands'
priorities lie, deep rooted in the hardcore anarcho/d.i.y/punk/metal /thrash
"scene". There would be NO POINT doing this band if the lyrics were
about satan or big motorbikes or fast cars or scantily clad virginal women and
the fires of hell. It just would'nt work for us.
HELLBASTARD
are five individuals (I am counting DEAN
THE MERCH MACHINE) as well, because without our merch/organiser guy we
would be royally fucked. Dean is a close friend of mine that I work with in the
Post Office, we are both mailmen,...for our sins, and Dean organises a lot of
stuff for us, to the point that he really should be known as "Dean the
MANAGER", he is awesome, the only thing Dean does not do is get onstage
with us and play when we do,... Anyway,...we are FIVE individuals that get
along quite well and wish to deliver the best and most passionate live
performance we can. We are becoming more diverse as time goes on with different
"influences" coming into the band. We began in late 1984/85' and
reformed in 2008 after splitting in 1992. We have been in WARS and came out the
other end. We have had more line up changes than any football team, ever. But
we are here, still passionate and still angry about things that annoy us. This
is, primarily what drives the band. We have HAD the option to "sell
out" (whatever that means) but never took it. So our street
"credibilities" are real strong. I am quite proud of this.
Q2.You've
recently toured UK with PanzerBastard and Suicide Watch, for the first time
since you reformed the band.How was it?
M.S. - Well, we
completed a huge european tour in 2009, and did some tours in the USA in 2009
and 2010. Yes, it was the first "UK TOUR" since way back in 1990.
There were a surprisingly large amount of people at SOME shows, and then there
was a sparse crowd at others. The tour was a success though, in the fact that
we onl;y missed ONE show because of a situation beyond our capabilities. We all
got on really well (the 3 touring bands) and made many new friends along the
way.......it was a great tour and we were very lucky to have even done it. Our
first TWO drivers dropped out before the tour and Mr "Shotgun Brady"
(our rhsal room owner) jumped in at the last minute to drive the whole tour
with his own vehicle. We owe him a lot. Our BROTHERS from other MOTHERS
(Boston's PANZERBASTARD) were
a joy to be with. We had met in the USA in 2009 and 2010, we stayed with them
and played shows with them and I have even been graced with the task of
appearing on their next cd as a guest vocalist on one track called
"Workhorse", what a fucking HONOUR that is. We love PANZERBASTARD,
they fucking rule and KICK MUCH ARSE. There are not many bands like PANZERBASTARD
out there,......... It was an honour to tour with them. Especially them.
Q3.Hellbastard
is one of the pioneers of the crust punk, but since then has evolved into a
more metal thrashy kind of sound, as many other punk bands from the same time
and all received criticism from abandoning their punk roots. What do you think
of that?
M.S. - Nothing has
been "abandoned". We are a band, not mercenaries ! We do what we do,
you do what YOU do,. You cannot please ALL of the people ALL of the time. I try
damn hard to please myself only when it comes to the music of HELLBASTARD, I
write songs for ME, nobody else. And as for "thrash metal",....
PHOOEY ! We are HELLBASTARD. Period. It is too EASY for magazines and
individuals to slag bands off when they change their sound or do something DIFFERENT.
Instead bands should be FUCKING WELL PRAISED for daring to even BE
different !!! Look at the so called "crust" scene ? 99 per cent of
the bands ALL SOUND THE FUCKING SAME, and what is even MORE sad is that
they all LOOK THE FUCKING SAME
AS WELL,..... fuck me, it is like a LOAD of sheep in
a field. FUCK THIS SHIT.
Q4.Some
critics seems to find it hard to classify HELLBASTARD into a genre. Have you
anytime worried about making your music get into an specific genre to pass a
more clear image of yourselves?
M.S. - On the
contrary. we don't WANT to be classified and cross-refernced and stored away in
a neat little box. FUCK THAT SHIT. I AM GLAD "critics" FIND
IT HARD TO CLASSIFY US ! This makes me smile a whole lot more than I
normally would. THERE ARE NO RULES. FUCK RULES, FUCK CLASSIFICATIONS
AND FUCK ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO CLASSIFY"MUSIC" OF ANY SORT.
Who the FUCK wrote the rule book anyway ? You mention a "clear
image" ? WHO GIVES A FUCK. WE CERTAINLY DO NOT. No man, FUCK
anybody that tries to label anything. FUCK THEM IN THE FACE WITH A PITCHFORK.
Cunts. Labelling something as DIVERSE as "music" is a crime. To me
there is shit music and good music,.... whichever you like, you
like,........That is how it should be. I enjoy listening to some of the most
"commercial" music in the world (EG-Madonna, Duffy...) does that make
me a "POP/DISCO guy" ? Nah, I don't think so. People who want
to LABEL something , I think, are scared. It has to FIT into their
scope/vision,.... that is what HITLER did to all who didn't fit into his grand
scheme. PEOPLE WHO label things are SAD emotionless feeble useless utter
cunts. DESTROY THE LOT OF THEM. Fucking PRICKS.
Q5.How
was the scene in uk back in the 80's? Has the internet made it better now or
just banalised it?
M.S. - I was too
busy trying not to starve, I saw millions of bands come through my brothers'
clubs,.... every band played his shows that he organised. From all over the
world. It was exciting and new and very dangerous. There was no security at his
early shows, bands like SUBHUMANS, AMEBIX, SKEPTIX, MAU MAUS, RIOT SQUAD,
BROKEN BONES, CONFLICT, SVART FRAMTID, BANNLYST, NO MEANS NO, D.O.A, ANTISECT,
OI POLLOI, ONSLAUGHT, CHAOS UK, DISORDER, LUNATIC FRINGE, THE CLASH (EVEN)
! SONS OF BADBREATH, EAT SHIT, SEATS OF
PISS, NAPALM DEATH, EXTREME NOISE TERROR, HERESY, CONCRETE SOX, etc etc
most shows went reall REALLY well, but the odd time Skinheads would turn up and
try and ruin things. They were always beaten down though, hahahaha.
The
internet has made things a million times quicker, if anything. You google a
band name and POP! Up it comes and you can hear the music straight away. In our
day we had to make a tape and send it in the post.... along with a long letter
as well, the personal touch. That's what the internet has fucked up on, it has
taken the personal touch right out of things, which is really really sad. It is
also swamped with music,.there are too many bands and not enough outlets for
the bands to perform and gain credibility. The 1980's were a tragic time in the
UK, many job losses and redundancies and many small firms closing down because
of the capitalist giants taking over (much of what has been going on in the
world anyway,...) No, the 1980's were not as good as people think they were.
For music, then hell yes,....if you like that kind of thing. But politically
the situation went downhill rapidly with "Thatcherism",..... the
tories destroyed so much, for so many..... those bastards.
Q6.What
should we expect from the band in the near future?
M.S. - Things that
are as DIFFERENT as we can make them, without being too arty! Oh, we are
playing this years "PUNK ILLEGAL" fest in Munkdehal, Sweden
this month we are really looking forward to this event as it is an honour to be
asked to play such a legendary outdoor venue(it happened June 25th).
Our next album is tentatively titled "ROCKSTAR BURNING...."
and we are still writing it as we speak. There will be a 12" Picture Disc
Vinyl appearing on PROFANE EXISTENCE RECORDS (USA) with a band called
"DRESDEN" from Wisconsin on one side and HELLBASTARD on the
other,......... this will surface in 2011 / 2012.
Q7.Thank
you once more, feel free to add anything you want now.
M.S. - Thankyou
for thinking of us for your magazine. WE are most honoured to be featured in
said publication. Fight the good fight and look out for your friends, they are
the most important thing we all have, well, .that and time and the air we
breathe. THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED - FUCK THE NEW WORLD
ORDER.
