Hey Lachlan… I'm going okay. Just a tad shitty about answering this interview, I could be doing so many other things.. .THANKS!
-I felt that Kill Them… All contained some of the best and most vicious Kill material yet, despite the somewhat unorthodox approach taken with Nik’s vocals this time around. What was the response to this change? Did your legion of grind nerds kick up a stink about it or continue with their full bodybanging (just like I did)?
That’s nice to know darling… thank you!
It's always great to hear and read both negative and positive feedback. The overall response has been overwhelming. I'm sure many old-school fans have dropped off the bandwagon but loads more have come on board.
I don't think THE KILL have ever had a bigger following as we do now worldwide.
Just if everyone had your enthusiasm. :) …Fk’n Top Bloke!
-Any new material coming soon? Any AC/DC covers? I bet you regularly smash tinnies to them.
After Obscene Extreme in July 2014, unlike KILL THEM...ALL I have had no pressure to write riffs and compose new material. Since then both Jay and I have demoed 19 new compositions, recorded them onto CD-R and handballed the tunes over to Nik. Slowly but surely he'll come up with some fresh abuse.
Believe it or not these songs are old and I am already bored with them. Therefore I'm still writing and at the same time don't want to overload "Once Fresh" aka (Nik) with anymore than I have, so I've been forced after 16 fucking years to start up another project.
Do you know any blast drummers without a drummer’s ego?
& as for AC/DC, ha! Brian Johnson’s voice sucks arse & always has. Anyone can sing like that. They should have gave up after Back in Black & used the original version with Bon Scott. Anyhow…I much prefer the voice of Rob Halford and King Diamond. A real man’s scream in real tight jeans. You know you love it?
-When are you going to stop thinking it’s 1985 and downtune already? Would the distance between your guitar and chin increase if you downtuned?
Ha, NEVER!!! If anything I've tuned from drop D to your basic E tuning on half the new songs.
-Will you find a new muse now that Abbott was booted out by his own party or will you stick with pissing on Robert Doyle?
Of course, as you know Australia will always have plenty of new puppets for Nik to hurl more verbal abuse.
-Despite closing the distro, I know you’re aren’t getting lazy with the label. What’s coming up for BAF? I believe you have some pretty cool stuff in the pipeline! Go ahead and flog ya shit…
