interview with scott johnson all instruments and compositions for astral luminous done by patrick.

1.hello scott how has your week been? please tell the readers a little about yourself.

My week has been good, spending time with a beautiful artistic girl who I care a lot about. So emotions have been whirling, but I am still firmly on the ground. This comes from her and other things of course, I have been receiving a lot of inspiration and insight into future direction, as with my life and of course music too.


2.when did you first get the idea to create/form astral luminous? how did you come up with the band name? does it have a special meaning?


That is a very good question... It was a combination of audial and visual exposure, dark atmospheric music and transcendant black metal, art, realities of space, many things. My very beginnings, I was playing guitar and envisioned the idea to start recording whenever I developed a unique melodic style of my own, a very raw insight into my psyche, melodies whispering to me, waiting to be born into audial form. I wanted to create an experimental black metal/ambient project that displays more than aggression, more than depressing lyrics, but one that gives insight into ones' own mind, and hopefully create a blazing wonder about the spiritual and the cosmos. Within the listener, I want them to comprehend my music as more than sounds, but as sounds with a shape, movement, life. To float upon the floodgate of thoughts, and see where it takes you. More inspiration came from hearing recordings captured from space and made intelligible to our ears. Evocative, and very eye opening as far as music goes. Planets, making beautiful ethereal music.

So after thinking for some names involving something unique, the name came from the Burzum song, My journey to the stars. It is a phrase, which I took 2 words from, Ex.- "A quest for knowledge in the Astral Luminous." The way he talks so passionately about entrusting himself into the cosmos inspired me to be more of a spiritual minded person. "A quest for knowledge in the Astral Luminous." From what I understand from the song, and the research ive done, this name is not for a specific nebula, star, etc. His meaning of the term Astral Luminous is sort of unclear, but it seems as if he means it is a place of transcendence, complete and unbound comprehension. It is very hard to explain but hopefully I have given you some idea. The lyric, just inspired me in a certain way.


3.would you say you have an open-mind towards metal and music in general? the reason i ask is you seem to combine alot of different dark styles into the music of astral luminous.


Of course I have a very open mind to music! Ive loved many different types of music, from dark depressing, life threatening sounds to insightful progressive compositions made only of bells and cymbals (for example) played only for fun, not for religion or politics or anything like that. As long as I can stand it really. From black metal, to orchestral compositions. The styles I incorporate into my project are ambient atmospheres, black metal style instrumentation, but also experimental techniques and sounds. The main effect I try to create is an "Engulfing" feeling. I do apologize for the fuzz on my guitar on my debut album! haha! Going back and listening, I have many things to work on as a producer for sure, but that is what it's about experience and learning. The next album I envision will include some more acoustic guitar, and possibly traditional percussive instruments, (tribal drums, other cultural instruments) more natural sounds but also other experimental sounds I am working on now. The album will most likely be completely instrumental, meant for more insightful and meditative purposes, but of course I have some intense metal ideas too! haha Remember Scott, this is only an interview...

4.you are the sole member of astral luminous.{with the help of session-vocalist} are you currently looking for new members to join the project?
Yes, I am the only member of the band. Session vocals were placed onto my debut album for certain reasons... like for example, I wanted there to be actual lyrics to create a more concrete perception and understanding. Ok lets say theres someone who has never heard of my project, rather than simply relying on instrumentation for a direction, I wanted lyrics to be included, but I am not a vocalist, barely a melodic singer. As far as my ideas for future albums, I strongly believe that I will record with session musicians, but for the most part keep it simple. After all, it is I who made it, and I am the only one who can truly manifest the vision. A band NEEDS members. Without those parts, it would not be a whole. As far as this project is concerned, I focus mainly on creating it myself, but I do see myself working with many other artists I already know.


5.if you had the opportunity to work/write with any musicians past or present.who would you like to work/write with?


Spencer Nilsen (Amazing ambient artist), Quorthon, Nocturno Culto and Fenriz, Numinas, Hellhammer and Dead, Havard Ellefsen (Era 1), Nobuo Uematsu, Trey Azagthoth, Pete Sandoval, and David Vincent, Phil Anselmo, Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, many other underground artists... Art/music is a another list haha!



6.the new cd "lunaric tide"was just released through hypnotic dirge records.how long did it take you to write/record the songs for this release?are you happy with how the songs came out?

Yes! and I am very excited! Hopefully it reaches far and wide, I know it already has, but even further. I wrote the songs in a few sessions playing guitar, tracked the drums which took a few hours, and recording is quick, not many takes needed. Mixing and mastering is the absolute longest and most mind exhausting to me. I mixed and mastered the tracks for countless hours trying to balance everything, which is hard to work with using alternate recording techniques, fuzzy guitar tone haha!

Considering my equipment, I am happy with how it turned out, and I wont listen to it for a while but will come back and hear it and am really surprised at certain aspects. Besides the music, the album layout design by Ba'al Graphics is so amazing to me. I am so appreciative to call it my own, because it looks so unique and different from whats out recently. The printing is of course very high quality from Smart Productions here, pro cdr and brilliantly colorful and glossy pages and reflective cd face. Please check it out everyone!


7.how has the response been from the fans and the press so far?

the response has been good. Reviews, messages and comments, radio and interview offers. You asked for a interview so thats a good sign haha! Its a start, its going to be slow but Im working on it.

8.when you start writing/working on new songs how long does it usually take you to finish one song? do you have to be in a certain mood when you begin writing new material?

I usually write songs very quickly, I have an understanding of drums and guitar and bass, so it comes to me all at once. It actually takes recording a part and playing along, experimenting, determining the direction you know. It helps to be in solitude, with some oil incensce burning to help open the floodgate.. but a certain mood? yes I guess you can say that. It has to be right. It has to feel right.

9drew {of dark procession} contributed the session vocals for the release.when did the two of you meet? are you satisfied with his work?do you plan to work with drew again or would you like to use different vocalist for each astral luminous release?


Me and Drew met probably a few years ago? I think. I discovered Dark Procession and was impressed from day one. Just did not expect to start working with him. I tried to record bass for DP, but being in different locations (no actual physical in your face learning) made it very difficult so eventually I believe he found someone and we talked about vocals and lyric direction. He adapted to it very well, and completed the album. Yes I am satisfied with his performance. I might possibly work with him again, who knows. I do not plan for vocals to be on the next album, and have a feeling I might keep it instrumental. I am not sure yet though...

10.you created/played all the music on "lunaric tide".so i was curious when did you first become interested in playing music? what were some of the first instruments you played? which do you feel was the hardest to learn? which one was the easiest for you?


I first started playing music after getting more into rock, and metal (around 9) and around 11 I got my first bass guitar. I learned on my own for a couple of years, then got my first electric guitar. I am on my 3rd bass and my 2nd guitar (both Ibanez haha! but RELIABLE) then around the time I got a guitar I became interested in drums because my best friend was an experienced drummer. So I have been playing the 3 since then.

Hardest to learn...hmm...bass. It hurt. I started my scales on bass, I even remember not being able to hold them down correctly. I laid the guitar in my lap and picked the strings thinking, "This is so cool!" Later on, I flipped it up and held the frets... I knew how to play guitar, it was because that was all I could do! haha small beginnings... Drums were difficult also, very strenuous and excercising for your limbs. The easiest was guitar I would say.

11.well my friend thank you for taking the time to fill out this interview.do you have any final comments for the readers?
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you Patrick for taking the time to create these questions. They were very thoughtful and well some of the most involved interview questions I have read, let alone answered. I am not the best with words, or with interviews, but hopefully this has given you more insight into not just my project, but myself as a person also. I know you have heard it before, but its true. Knowledge is power. Do not stagnate, evolve. Transcend.

interview with sasha,guitarist for cyclotron.done by patrick.

1.metal hails brother!! how are things in germany this week? please tell the readers a little about yourself.

Hey Patrick, first of all let me thank you for the opportunity for this interview! we really appreciate your support!!
my name is sasha, iŽm a 28 years old guitarist from a small town near munich, germany.
basically its going good here in germany, the mood is slowly getting better with the weather.

2.at what age did you start listening to metal? who were some of the first bands you listened to? who would you say are some of your "current" favorite bands?

i think as i was a little boy with the age of 11, i started listening to Iron Maiden, soon followed by other great metal bands like W.A.S.P., Megadeth, Judas Priest and Ozzy.
some of my favorite bands are Zero Hour, Necrophagist, Running Wild, Fates Warning, Origin, Spawn of Possession, Symphony X, Meshuggah,
Treshold ... i could go on - its a long list.

3.when did you guys form cyclotron? what is the "current" line-up ? for the readers who have never heard cyclotron how would you describe the sound?

The band was formed about two or three years ago. At this moment the current line-up would only be me and Vince on the vocals. I think the bands sound is hard to describe.
Its Death Metal with a lot of experimentation. i like to call it unclassifiable Death Metal.

4.would you say that you and the members of the band have an open-mind towards metal and music in general? the reason i ask is i hear a death/grind influence but also a ambient/experimental influence as well.

yeah, of course. weŽre open-minded to a lot of music. Personally i love almost everything that is Metal and Rock, a lot of jazz and fusion, some country and classical pieces.
As long as its good handmade music chances are pretty good that iŽm into it.

5.the demo you recently sent was an amazing piece of metal art.how long did it take to write/record the demo? are you all happy with how it turned out?

well, thank you very much! the songs were all written in the first years. The recordings were long because we could only work on the weekends and holidays.
weŽre pretty happy with the first demo, although the sound could be better. and you always think i would change this or that when you listen to it now, but
overall weŽre happy with it.

6.how has the response been so far from the fans and the press? if anyone is interested how can they get a copy for themselves?

we had some positive and some negative reviews from the press. the responses from the people were almost all very postive up to overwhelming!
anyone interested can download our complete demo for free! just check the link in our blog on our myspace page:
www.myspace.com/cyclotrongermany

7.has the band had time to write any new songs for the next demo? any idea how many songs will be on the new release? have you all set a release date for the new demo?

The new demo is almost finished and weŽll soon upload a preview on our myspace-page. its entitled "Into A Subconscious Surreality" and contains five tracks.
we also recorded a cover version of the Necrophagist song "Mutilate The Stillborn". The release was planned for march this year, but we couldnt finish it, so its
postponed to may.

8.in your opinion what is the best and worst thing about the underground today? and what does the term "metal underground" mean to you?

being independent is the best about the underground. thats also what it means to me! we dont want to get rich and famous with our music.
getting rich is enough, haha!

9.you come from the mighty german scene.what is your opinio of the scene in germany today?

you never see too much people at a show. but there are a lot of metalheads around here that are true, loyal followers to the bands!

10,who are some of your all-time favorite german metal bands? are their any new bands you think the readers should check-out? if yes please tell us about them.

Some of my fave german bands would be Necrophagist, Running Wild, Sieges Even. As a new band there would be Obscura, an awesome Death Metal band
from Munich. You should keep an eye on them. i also like "Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky", "Unexpect" and "Anomalous". Though theyŽre all not from gemany, but
i think it doesnŽt matter where a band is from when they rule!

11.when did you first become interested
in playing guitar? are you self-taught or did you take lessons?

i think i always wanted to play the guitar since i started listening to metal! with 13 or 14 i saw a Running Wild live-video. they had that damn cool guitars,
so i had to get one. i took lessons for about two years. my teacher played jazz and blues. he was an awesome player!

12.who are some of your influences/favorite guitarist? do you play any other instruments besides guitar?
Some of my fave guitar player are Michael Romeo, Jason Becker, Jasun Tipton, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ron Jarzombek.... The list would be too long!

As other instruments i can just play the drums a little.

13.when not working on band music or doing mail/band business.what do you enjoy doing in your spare time? any hobbies.

i spend a lot of time with my girlfriend and our dog. and you can find me very often in the gym working out. i also like playing Playstation or watching a good movie and
having some beer and southern comfort with a few friends.

14.well brother we have reached the end of the interview.thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to fill this out.do you have any final words for the readers?

thank you so much Patrick, not just for the opportunity for this interview and your continuous support and all the efforts for promotion you put into this band, but also for being a friend!!

patrick and morbid minds web-zine.

interview with gaz,co-owner of brutal existence radio,dj/host for decapitating the masses,and bottle of piss.done by patrick.

1.metal hails brother! how has your week been going? please tell the readers a little about yourself.

I’m doing sound thx mate, but Decapitating The Masses & Bottle of Piss no longer exist lol, but I’ll explain about that at the end of the interview.

Not much to tell really I’m 26 & escaped out of a mental asylum a few years ago and am still on the run from the authorities to this day. Even the other patients were offended by my rants so I suppose I have done them a valuable service in a way. Oh I happen to do a couple of radio shows and run brutal existence radio when I’m not in the local police station.

2.at what age did you discover metal? who were some of the first bands you listened to? what about in the current scene who are some of your favorite bands?

Metal has always been around me even when I was a little kid or when I was a young sperm swimming in our Dad’s sack. I grew up hearing my Dad play punk/hardcore and my Mum blasting out NWOBHM, 70s metal, rock etc so don’t think I ever had a choice not to be some sort of metaler. So I suppose the first bands I listened to or heard to be more accurate were the Sex Pistols, Discharge, GBH, Crass, Motorhead, Metallica (I hate them), Anthrax (fuck off Joey), Exodus, Destruction, Slammer, Napalm Death, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest. So a real mixture as my parents were a bit different in tastes one being metal/rock the other punk/hc. Punk mixed in with the usual metal shite then eh lol. My mother played some terrible cock rock shite as well. Fucking hell mate I’m not bringing that memory back lol. Fucking sweaty bollock shite as we call it here lol.

First bands that I listened to were most of the above as I was being spoon fed those bands and I later moved on to Slayer, Kreator, Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, Extreme Noise Terror and gradually sought out nastier and heavier music which I still do to this day.

Napalm Death, Abominable Putridly, Deranged (now split up, sighs), Dying Fetus, Mastabah, Poppy Seed Grinder, Visceral Bleeding, Kataplexia, Cripple Bastards, Gore, Rotten Sound, Siege of Hate, Tools of the Trade (good far eastern grind), Skitsystem, Extinction of Mankind, Seitan, Abysmal Torment, Sotajumala, Stormcrow, Ruin (D-beat), Driller Killer. You get the idea just nastiness and I’d be here until the 42^nd century if I was to name every band lol.

3.well we have quite a bit to cover so i guess i will start with brutal existence radio.when did you decide to start up the station? how did you all come up with the name? We haven’t been around that long actually and we started in late December last year. The station was created after the closure of Open Grave Radio and we just wanted to see if we could have a go at our own project. Believe it or not the name took a long time for us to come up with and we went through a ridiculous amount of possible alternatives. I can’t even remember how we decided on ‘Brutal Existence’ lol.

4.for the readers who don't know your co-owner is fowler.how did you two meet? i know you live in the u.k and fowler in the u.s does this make it difficult to work on station business at all?

We were both djs on the former Open Grave Radio station.

Not really and it allows two people to bring something different to the station which is a good thing.

5. the station has only been up and running for a few months now.but already you seem to have a good solid station with some kick ass shows/dj's. can you please tell the readers a little about the shows and what styles they cover/play etc..

Ungovernable Resistance which is my new show that replaces DTM & BOP (Brutal DM/Grindcore/Goregrind/Porngrind/DM on Wednesday’s/Friday’s) and on Saturday editions (D-Beat/Crust/Punk/Crossover/HC), The Murdershack (Brutal DM/Power Violence/Punk/Grind and if Goat is stoned to fuck sometimes Sludge/Doom), Journeys Through The Black Abyss (Black Metal/Depressive BM/Tuesday editions) & Thrash (Thursday editions), The Incinerator (Sludge/Doom/Death/Grind/Thrash & sometimes other styles), Audio Aggression (Variety metal with a strong thrash emphasis), The Coroner’s Office (Variety metal with a strong black metal emphasis), Crestfallen (Doom/Sludge), The Thrash Can (Thrash, Death Thrash, Old school dm), Brutalism Pod Cast (Variety metal), Ye Olde Metal Shoppe Pod Cast (Variety metal), The Inbox (submission based airplay show), Random metal and fuck knows what else lol

6.well besides being co-owner one of the shows you are d.j for is "decapitating the masses".when did you first get the idea to start up this show? how did you come up with the name for the show?

I wanted to dj in clubs, but unless you play mainstream shite or the same over played songs you cannot get a break so Internet djaying was the next best route. Took me a good 6 months to decide if I wanted to do it lol. I wanted to play music I was passionate about and give people a show that would be as honest as possible, which many don’t like, but I don’t care I have my own set of beliefs and ways. Rofl I came up with the name during a night out with my mates on the piss. One of our friends was sat suffering all night at the amount of commercial and generic shite that was being played in a club. The dance floor was full of fucking comb over cock nozzlers spazzing out to fucking Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan and terrible mainstream wank. My mate said ‘for fucksake don’t you wish something would come on semi moshable that would clear the dance floor?” To which I replied, “Aye I could do with some Wolverine claws & I’d go on the dance floor and decapitate the mainstream masses”. So I adapted the name into my show.

7.for the readers who have never heard the show. what styles of metal do you play/support?
if any bands/labels are interested in airplay where can they send cd's,cdr's or mp3's etc.?

Wed/Friday editions of Ungovernable Resistance plays – slam, brutal dm, goregrind, porngrind, grindcore, sometimes old school dm. Saturday editions of Ungovernable Resistance plays D-Beat/Crust/Punk/Crossover & a little hardcore.

Just email ‘ungovernableresistance@googlemail.com’. I don’t like playing things that sound like old nana’s having a piss.

LOL I wouldn’t tune in if easily offended or cannot handle a different culture and someone that will speak out against subjects he doesn’t agree with or like.

Generally mate its just uncensored madness with a soundtrack to match.

8.what do you think is the easiest part and the hardest part about doing a internet radio show? do you have any advice to someone reading this who might be interested in trying it?

Staying sober. Remembering shout outs. Finding the time as it can be difficult to balance everything in accordance. My advice is this: - Do it your own way, own style, be your self and be honest. Keep it DIY in every aspect of the word.

9.in your opinion what is the best and worst thing about the underground today? and what does the therm "metal underground" mean to you?

Death metal gangs generally do the scene more harm than good with their political bull shite, rock star egos, people taking advantage of the real DIY people out there who work their arses off for fuck all and ya don’t even get a thank you in return for helping them. I have experienced and heard about this a lot from other people and that attitude’s fucking bang out.

However, meeting like-minded people such as you who are in this for the right reasons and the real DIY people out there are the ones who make it worthwhile and if it weren’t for them I probably wouldn’t bother.

I actually the term ‘underground’ is starting to irritate me as it has become the new fashion word that gets thrown around all over the place and now it used as a cool statement to advertise/say. For me there is an underground that thinks it’s the creative centre point of the whole scene, but if you investigate and find out for your self who the genuine people are then this is where the real ‘underground’ exists. Always look beneath the surface my friends.

It doesn’t really mean anything to me Patrick as I don’t think about it or class myself as part of the ‘underground’. Getting off ya own backside or DIY are more relevant to me as helping out the real people for the love of the music and undertaking things in my own way are what’s it about.

10.you live in the u.k and i know a few bands from your country but not to many. so i was interested in your opinion on the metal scene in your country/area?

The North East scene is small and we have a few cross county gigs with bands from Scotland as our area is very close to Scotland. We have a small death fest, but I don’t rate it much due to most of the bands sounding a bit too scene or close to death core shite for me. There is an u/g punk and hardcore scene that holds the DIY values and old punk ethics close to heart so that’s a good thing. There isn’t really any death metal in this area and the odd one or two bands that are here have no competition so I think they get overrated too easily.

The North West has some great crust/d-beat bands like Doom/Extinction of Mankind, and Ruin (based in Glasgow as well). ‘Active Minds’ are a good hardcore band that is from the North Yorkshire coast area, which isn’t that far away from the North East. So it’s safe to say that across the North and in Scotland we hold on to the traditional values strongly and have a healthy crust/d-beat scene.

The UK has a strong DIY culture and unique style, which dates back to the punk days. I also believe in these values fiercely and am an advocate for embarking upon ventures in ya own way and style regardless of where you are from.

As for the whole of the UK it depends on which area you live in. Bournemouth, which is way down south has a good punk scene and the midlands has spawned many great bands over the years such as Napalm Death, Bolt Thrower, Sacrilege, Benediction, Police Bastard, Sarpanitum. I’d be here all day if I listed all the punk/hc bands from the UK both old and new as there are still many great punk bands that people are not aware of and its as real and dirty as its always been.

Thrash is making a resurrgence again, but outside of the UK people only ever hear of Evile and Warpath, which we view as pretty commercial here and are sick to death of hearing about them. There are far better unknown thrash bands in the UK that don’t even get half the attention they do.

Those two bands don’t even come close to the older bands like Acid Reign, Sabbat, Pariah, Slammer, DAM and that’s a widely held view. Pitiful Reign are a good UK thrash band that people don’t hear anything of outside the UK.

I’m not keen on some of the new UK death metal bands as they sound too much like core shite or a bit too scene for me, but there are some good bands like Amputated, Desecration (been around for ages now), Corpsing, and up North as I mentioned we have tons of great crust/d-beat bands.

So to conclude I think overall we have an established small and close-knit scene that likes just to get on with it and undertake things in its own way, which is the culture and the manner in which we enjoy doing things here.

11.who are some of your favorite bands? are there any new up and coming bands you think the underground readers should keep a eye on?

Napalm Death, Discharge, Abysmal Torment, Mental Killing Spree, Doom, Deranged, Bolt Thrower, Skitsystem. I’d be all day if I tried to name them all lol.

Some bands people should keep an eye on include: Mental Killing Spree, Meinhof, Seitan, Ruin, Sapremia (been around a while but not that well known over here), and Necropsy.

12.besides decapitating the masses. you also run a second radio show on b.e.r called "bottle of piss". when did you decide to start up this second show? how did you choose the name?

I started the show a few months ago and as readers will probably pick up that I like quite a bit of punk/d-beat/crust/old hc/crossover, which is kind of law in the UK. If you don’t like some form of punk and ya British then there is something wrong! So I wanted to air a lot of this great music for people and it’s surprising how many people don’t know about d-beat and crust, plus its fucking class! LOL The name well I just thought of a regular night out down the town. You can always see tons of bottles in an alley that are full of piss. Therefore, it was pretty easy lol. Also it goes with that dirty, nasty, seedy vibe we like to put on our music here especially in our punk etc. I wanted people to hear a right fucking smelly, dirty, piss stinking show playing fucking filth and vileness.

13.how would you say this show is different from decapitating the masses? what styles of metal/music do you play/promote?

See above, but just in case no fucker could be arsed reading it – punk/hc/crossover/crust/d-beat

14.i know besides metal you are a fan of extreme sports espically hockey. when did you get into sports? who are some of your favorite teams? besides hockey do you have any other sports you enjoy watching/playing?

I got into sports when I was little kid and outside of music this is my next greatest passion. I just love playing them and being active. I get bored too easily if I’m sat about doing piss all. My favourite ice hockey team are the Leafs and yes I know we are shite, blah blah lol, but I like them. I also like the Washington Capitals as I’m a big fan of Alexander Ovechkin and I like the way the team plays as well. There are other sports I enjoy as well, but mainly extreme sports like inline skating, falling on the floor to mosh, bouncy castle wars (its fucking great pitting in one of them), I enjoy the X Games, and Formula One Motor Racing. I enjoy footy as well and some of my favourite teams are Liverpool, Rangers, Lyon, and Juventus. LOL A few of our local teams are terrible at the moment so I’m not mentioning them.

15.well brother thanks alot for taking the time to fill out this interview.good luck to you and your future {both in and out of the underground} do you have any final words for the readers?

Aye ya metal bastard I do! Lol

Since completing this interview I have killed the DTM and BOP name and am operating all my broadcasts under the title of ‘Ungovernable Resistance’. The formats and times for each broadcast remain the same, but I felt a change was needed to reflect my personal beliefs. My shows have always had a mainly DIY/European audience so I want to make my broadcasts dedicated for the European and international DIY scene around the world that I feel is largely ignored. Uncensored madness and general hooliganism will still remain a part of the shows.

I also want to thank the listeners who have supported my shows since they began and continue to do so. The broadcasts are for you guys and I always try to be honest with all of you.

A big thanks to Sapremia, Mental Killing Spree, Necropsy and all the bands that have helped me since I started djaying. I’d be here for about 5 billion years if I mentioned you all, but you guys know who you are and thank you!!!

Finally thanks Patrick ya metal bastard and keeping throwing nasty smelly piss at people
