Interview - Nyctophobic

1.Chaotic and grind greetings from Peru Tom! hows going everything there?
Fine I hope. Haven't talked to the others much because the band split up in May 2010 unfortunately.

2.Nyctophobic is a old school grindcore band in the scene grindcore around the world Tom,tell us how is form this noisy band please.
Well, the band got started in 1992. Back in these it was pretty hard to find people willing to join a band project of that extreme kind. Marcus (bass, now in UNGOD) and Christophe started the band. We have been introduced by a girl we knew before a Gorefest show in a near town. It was pretty fast clear that we're going to get Nycto started. To be honest: when I first met them I had no idea what Grindcore. Back in 1992 grindcore wasn't that big thing. Nevertheless Nycto was born and grew up...

3.Since 90s Tom tell us how is the grindcore scene in your city/country? recommend some bands,zines to search...
I must be honest and I am not that much in the scene. I've a few old friends from the past. We shared the rehearsal room with Blood and I still meet these guys. I would recommend ICHORID from "my" are or may INTO DARKNESS and my big favourite band SULPHUR AEON.

5.Destructive influences?
Back in 1992, when we started the band, there haven't been many bands in that extreme genre. I guess it's pretty obvious that NAPALM DEATH has put a big influence on us in our early days. And not to forget bands as TERRORIZER or CARCASS just to name the two most important ones. Well, later on DISRUPT has made a big effort on our music somehow. 

6.Some members from Nyctophobic have another proyect paralalell?
Like I said before the band split up in 2010. Now Zimbo (our singer) is not active any more. Marcus (bass) plays in NUNWHORE COMMANDO 666, UNGOD and he helped out for GUT a couple of times. Markus (guitar) plays in NUNWHORE COMMANDO 666 and HELLKNIFE. Martin (guitar) played in a grind band of which I forgot the name. Please forgive me that. And while Nyctophobic was active I payed in NAKED WHIPPER with our singer Alex (Ex-BLOOD).

7.Which is your opinion about the actual grindcore scene around the fucking world?
The scene is so big now. Now with Facebook, Internet and all these things the scene became so close which I really like. I wished it would have been that easy when we started and were young. :D

8.You know some from the extreme scene from Southamerica? maybe Peru?
Aaargh! I do not know any band from Peru or South America. Please do not kill me now! 

9.Nyctophobic stuff avaliable?
I still have some copies of the Split with EXHUMED in stock and the long awaited re-release of "War Criminal Views" on CD will take place within the next months on Grinder Cirujano Records. A guy from Jakarta will do some new Nycto shirts within the near future.
Ah, and the Vinyl-Version of "War Criminal Views" should be still available on Grindfather.
And we will be featured on a compilation CD entitled "A tribute to Terrorizer". Should be out mid 2017.

10.Some catastrofic future plans in Nyctophobic?
Ehm yes, I'm still looking for some new musicians to reform the band. Unfortunately my old band mates are to busy with their new bands and not willing to reform the band. I have to walk a long and hard way I think. Haven't found any new guys yet. 

11.Thanks for your time in this interview Tom,last words brother.
Thank you for supporting us and giving me the chance (after all the years) to do an interview again. You rule! Thanks a lot once again.

Interview - CSSO

1.Dirty greetings from Peru maniacs from CSSO! hows going everything Takashi!
Hi,David. Everything is okay right now.
Recently I got B.C.Rich Wave bass.
It is cheap one and the sound is suck but looks cool.
So I often play SLAYER in my room these days.

2.Since 90s CSSO do exploit brains in Japan and around the fucking world brother,tell us how is form this maniac band?
Back to late 80s,Sumi(guitar of CSSO) and me went to same junior high school.
One day,Sumi introduced me GUNS'n'ROSES and METALLICA.
I found it nice and start to listen HR/HM music.
And just then,Sumi start to play guitar.I thought I will start guitar too.
But Sumi said "I play guitar,you play bass". So I start bass.
After that,Naru(Brother of Sumi/vocal of CSSO/BUTHCER ABC/OBLITERATION REC,etc)
said to me, "Are you satisfied with GUNS and METALLICA? Ha,listen to this!" 
and lend me SLAYER albums.
SLAYER blow me away and we start to listen to more extreme music.
In 91 or 92,we start to go to local gig to see SOB,MULTIPLEX,HELLCHILD,
TRANSGRESSOR,GORE BEYOND NECROPSY,etc and contact with DEATH/GRIND bands 
overseas.
And start fanzine called CIRCLE OF THE GRIND. 
At that time,Sumi start to compose songs.
In 93,we record 3 songs demo with help by Junji(drum of MAGGOTY CORPSE).
It is the start of CSSO.
Sumi composed all songs in early CSSO.
So I could say CSSO is born from his brain.

3.Takashi explaim us more the grindcore scene from Japan since 90s brother.
Japanese DEATH/GRIND scene is still very small but lot of cool bands are active
even now.
For example,FINAL EXIT is great.They recentry toured in US.
COFFINS,needless to say, is great,too. And I am really looking forward to 
NECROPHILE's next release.  
I hope you to check nice Japanese bands like above.
However,Japanese scene have the problem that people now in this scene 
is almost same as 90s.
It means decline of this scene in future.
It is sad but what should I do for it?
(In my high school days,I forced my friends to listen DEATH/GRIND.
But no one find it cool.)

4.How many stuff have edited CSSO in his aberrant life?
I'm sorry but I don't know exactly.
Please check encyclopaedia metallum.
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Clotted_Symmetric_Sexual_Organ/3591
Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organ - Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives
metal-archives.com

5.Pyscho influences?
It is difficult to clarify all.But CSSO is influenced by Thrash metal,
old school Death/Grind,Progressive rock,Pop music,old Rock,etc.
In flyer of CSSO 1st demo, I wrote "We play Power Grinding Animation
in the vein of EXIT-13,VOIVOD,CARCASS and IRON MAIDEN."
Personally,I got inspired by following band/bass player.
SLAYER(1st-4th),DEATH(1st-3rd),MASSACRE,NAPALM DEATH(1st-3rd),VENOM,BATHORY,
COCOBAT,Chris Squire(YES),John Wetton(KING CRIMSON),Akihiro Tamura(SPITZ).

6.Some member from CSSO have another proyect paralalell?
Yes,Naru used to play guitar in MAGGOTY CORPSE and now in BUTCHER ABC.
Sumi used to play guitar in GRUDGE and BLACK FLOWER.
Takeshi(drum) played in NOISE A GO GO's until last year.
I and Susumu(ex-drum of CSSO) play together in another band now.

7.What is your opinion about the actual grindcore scene around the world Takashi?
To be honest,I don't pay much attention to the scene(other band).
As a listener,I will continue listening to old DEATH/GRIND.  
As a player,I think I should create music that does not exist in the past.

8.You know some from extreme scene from Southamerica? maybe Perú?
I'm sorry but I don't know much about scene from southamerica.
But I like CURARE. KULTO MALDITO is cool.Of course MASACRE is great.  
And I have a UNA RAMOS vinyl.I love the song ROMANCE DE VIENTO Y QUENA.

9.CSSO stuff avaliable?
I think something available at OBLITERATION RECORDS and FAT ASS RECORDS.
2nd album is newly mastered and out on vinyl last year.
