Interview with Chris Reifert Death Metal bands ABSCESS/AUTOPSY

"Autopsy is actually playing Maryland Death Fest this year, so we're not dead again yet!"

"I spoke with Killjoy the first time in '86 when I was staying in Florida with Chuck Schuldiner. We talked on the phone and he seemed really cool. That was great since I thought Necrophagia was killer and totally sick."

"The beauty of Abscess is we can incorporate anything that fits the demented vibe we're searching for. It's gotta be heavy and ugly though otherwise it just won't work."

"The new album 'Dawn of Inhumanity' has the sound we were looking for and we are very happy with it. "

INHUMATE: French Death/Grindcore band

"Inviting people on stage is also something we do since 1998 I think. It's something we were almost the first to do in the underground scene I think… We accept people on stage because we consider that the stage is not reserved for “artists”, but it belongs to all the united underground sickos present that evening."

"I'm listening to the hits on our vocalist Christophe's forehead and every time I hear the mic crushing I feel like a thrill, like it was hurting me and he also drives me mad, thinking of the crowd seeing that and getting amazed by such a violent scene... And yes we had some problems with gig organizers, we had to pay several times for the microphone."

"If a big label like Relapse came and proposed us a deal, we'd refuse it. We managed to stay self produced for 20 years, and wouldn't accept to bow to commercialism after such a long time! We'll fight for our status until the end."

DC Webzine's Best Metal Albums of the Decade 2000-2009

2000 | 2001

Unhappy and to a good extent disgusted with the kind of year-end/decade-end lists we got to see, with proud mentions of some utterly embarrassing commercial releases, we thought that coming up with a list of our own was the only way to make us feel good about extreme metal again, and felt more strongly than ever before the urge to bring to the notice of misguided metalheads the best underground albums that were released in the last decade, many which are forgotten or worse, completely overlooked.
