Hailz IMPIETY!
I consider it an honor to do the first Chinese interview with Impiety. You know that it is very difficult for us to get any releases, but we all know that Impiety was born in January 1990.
Demogorgon: Can you tell me which kind of primary influences made you find your way into the Black Metal scene? How did you find become interested in extreme Metal, and later Black Metal?
Shyaithan: Hate fucking hate for all that is holy and our very own vision for a world of chaos and mass destruction led me and my fellow wargoats to form this lethal and diabolical regiment known to man and to beast as IMPIETY! It was long ago (1986-87) that we bled our ears and broke our skulls banging to kult bands like BATHORY, SODOM, HELLHAMMER, SARCOFAGO, SEXTRASH, early KREATOR, NECROVORE, EXUMER, etc. and that further inspired us to play what we play best today!
Demogorgon: Impiety is such a fierce band, what's your opinion about why Singapore has so many great Black Metal bands? Is there a big Metal community? How do think it could grow even bigger in the years that Metal not so widespread as it in its past peak?
Shyaithan: There are just a handful of serious and good bands here in Singapore. The metal community or underground, I would say, has matured over the years but at a very slow pace. Annually, you'll have 5 or 6 metal gigs. Still, you will find more crap hobby bands sprouting here and there. Needless to say, they never last long. I am unsure what the future of the underworld here holds but it's all up to the new demons to continue their battle!
Demogorgon: As an Asian band, do you have any problem in achieving your dark aim? Both drum/vocal skill and "way of life/faith", I think there are many natural differences between those Scandinavia Black Metal bands and us. Are there any other bands you think worth to mention?
Shyaithan: Indeed, it's fucking hard leading the terroristic life we lead in Singapore, let alone other parts of Asia. For one thing, the government here is totally fucked. There are just so many rules & regulations..and the more they make, the more we break! I don't see how they can stop us..the more they try, the harder it's going to be to bring us down. Anyway, we don't have any problems and in the past never had problems with the law or government. We are least worried and continue to excel in the antichristian warfare and terrorism we do best. Bands in South East Asia worth checking out are SURRENDER OF DIVINITY (Thailand), TANDUS (Malaysia), DOXOMEDON(Singapore), BUNUH (Singapore), EIBON (Singapore), ABATTORY (Singapore), GRAUSIG (Indonesia), NEUROTIC OF GODS (Indonesia).
Demogorgon: Nowadays a lot of bands use the subject "War" like War, Marduk, Enthroned, Vondur, Niden Div. 187, Zyklon-B, Warlust... Will Impiety find fascinating about warfare more and more?
Shyaithan: It's true that the war subject has been over used..but isn't war a primary concept of all bands into blackmetal??
Our concept of war is one which more about the destruction of heaven and sodomatic overkill of angels! We desecrate god like no other and are masters of our art!! Christianity and all false religions must be stopped!!
Ofcourse, there's no end to it..as long as the enemy stands but wounded!! Hell yeah, war shall be waged til the hordes of Azazel emerge as the final victors!
Demogorgon: How do you think about those political Death Metal and Grindcore bands? I do not like their attitude and music, which have too much surface chaos.
Shyaithan: I haven't listened to any political metal bands yet, and anyway they don't interest me one least bit!
Demogorgon: Which subjects are you interested in the most, Metal subculture or Satanic philosophy?
Shyaithan: Both..and we take things way beyond their limits. Preaching about it is one thing but practising it is another.
We are terroristic satanic metal desecrators!! We will not hesitate to annihilate and exterminate the feeble flock of god!!
Demogorgon: In tour, do you have any trouble in dealing with some bands or fans with strong racial views? I have seen several these kinds of flyers. So Asian bands...
Shyaithan: Just too bad all this is still prevalent. There are 'nazi' BlackMetal bands within the region wearing swastikas and proud of their heritage, etc..! It's really childish and totally absurd when you think about it! We don't give a fuck and will not tolerate these kids. And, they are always in hiding when we are around. It goes to show what pussies they actually are!
Demogorgon: After all the hype and negative press the Black Metal scene is getting and has gotten, I think that finally, people may be concentrating on the music. Are you glad to see them leave us alone?
Shyaithan: I personally don't care what the press has to say or whether the media in general, supports or criticizes our breed of metal, Black/Death metal shall always prevail with might!! I am glad that there are a strong number of true maniacs and bands who live and die for metal!! I believe metal should always remain underground..and not fucking over-exposed like it is today!
Demogorgon: Now Impiety has been signed by Osmose Productions, which is long regarded as the forerunners in releasing the elite of the host of Black Metal. Then what's on Impiety's horizon in 2001? When could all the hell hordes get new heavy sonic artillery or infernal impulses?
Shyaithan: Osmose Prod. has always been working with the best in hellfucking extreme metal for over a decade now! We're hard at work on the upcoming album and the new assault promises to be more bizzare and demented than what was experienced on "Skullfucking Aramgeddon"! It has been quiet this 2001 as we've been buying new equipment, writing up, rehearsing and preparing the new assault! The new christfucking album will feature 8 new songs plus 2 bonus tracks - covers from the mighty BLASPHEMY and SEXTRASH!
Demogorgon: An secrets to reveal at this point of time? Thank you sincerely for your time.
Shyaithan: Watch for the upcoming assault which will be recorded this October at the Stage One Studios - Germany.
It will mercilessly tear your soul, drain your blood and savagely rip your carrion to shreds!! All Bestial Hailz of Infernal Steel to you, Demogorgon, for this interview!!

东南亚黑龙
——IMPIETY独家专访
Demogorgon
金属，尤其是极端金属的总体趋势是愈发黑暗。凭借他们的渎神与烈火，恶魔的北欧军团立下首笔赫赫战功。这个荒废世界上冥府与人间的通口随即逐一开启，最具本性的冲动和再接再厉的方法步骤让每一角落都泛起了无法平静的血红波纹。对那真实的火焰，在夜色下燃烧并将天空染成怪异的绯红与湛蓝的火焰，曾经世界性地带给我们神秘体验的火焰，或许依旧遥远。然而接触到你自己心头的燎人火舌，也会获得一样的感觉——对意识的体验。如果让炽热的火苗灼炼心房，他就再不会苟且于寻常的安逸；让暴戾的问答冲打脑海，他就再不会忽视“无足轻重”的苦难。对我而言，这一切都会不可避免地到来而绝非“偶然”。哪怕我们远离极北，哪怕我们来自东方。想到金属，想到黑暗，请不要忘记东南亚群起的黑龙。
“四小龙”之一，新加坡的IMPIETY（不敬神）是它们当之无愧的统领：从1990年1月组建往后，乐团凭借两张残暴至极的专辑Asateerul Awaleen，Skullfucking Armageddon与大量EP、MCD、DEMO和巡演让下界的攻击如江河之水滔滔而至。
数月前，IMPIETY用黑血和法国Osmose Productions(渗透产品）建立起三张专辑的牢固联盟。贝司手/主唱Shyaithan在总结征程的同时透露给他们的亚洲同盟下一步的作战计划。
Demogorgon：你能否告诉我最初是什么影响带你们走进黑暗金属界的呢？你们又是如何对极端金属，以至后来的黑暗金属发生兴趣的？
Shyaithan：恨他妈的对一切神圣的恨还有我们对于一个混乱和大规模摧毁的世界的很个人的观点领导着我和我同道的战羊们组建这对人对兽都是致命的妖魔军团IMPIETY！很久以前（1986-1987）我们为了下面这些教派级乐团令耳朵流血，把头骨撞破：BATHORY，SODOM，HELLHAMMER，SARCOFAGO，SEXTRASH，早期的KREATOR，NECKOVORE，EXUMER等等。就是这些进一步启发了我们去搞我们今天搞得最好的东西！
Demogorgon：IMPIETY是那么狂暴的一支乐团，你们对于新加坡有很多不错的黑暗金属乐团有什么看法？那里是否有着很大的金属圈子？哪怕在过去那些金属不像它在巅峰时期那么广泛传播的岁月，它也能更为壮大。
Shyaithan：新加坡这里严肃的好乐团也数得过来。我会说，过去这些年里金属圈子或是地下的确成熟了，步子却很慢。每年只会有五到六场小型金属演出。你在这里也仍能找到更多屎一样的业余乐队钻出来。不用说，他们从没待多久。我不大确定这儿的下界会有个什么样的未来，但总会生出新的魔鬼以继续战斗！
Demogorgon：作为一支亚洲乐团，你们在达到自己阴暗目标的过程中有什么困难吗？不但在鼓和嗓音的技术上，还有“生活/信仰”的道路，我觉得在斯堪的那维亚黑暗金属乐团与我们中间有很多天生的区别。还有什么其他乐团你认为值得推出的吗？
Shyaithan：实际上，像我们在新加坡这样领导着恐怖主义生活真他妈的难，更别说亚洲其它地方了。一来，这儿政府真操蛋。有那么多规章制度……他们订得越多，我们打破得越多！我看不出他们怎么样才能弄停我们……他们试得越多，放倒我们就越难。不论如何，过去还是现在我们同法律或政府都没有麻烦。我们最不烦心而且继续致力于敌基督的战役和我们干得最好的恐怖主义。乐南亚值得验证的乐团是SURRENDER OF DIVINITY（泰国），TANDUS（马来西亚），DOXOMEDON（新加坡），BUNUH（新加坡），EIBON（新加坡），ABATTORY（新加坡），GRAUSIG（印度尼西亚），NEUROTIC OF GODS（印度尼西亚）。
Demogorgon:如今很多乐团都在使用“战争”主题，例如WAR，MARDUK，ENTHRONED，VONDUR，NIDEN DIV.187，ZYKLON-B，WARLUST……IMPIETY也会愈发迷于战争吗？
Shyaithan：战争主题使过多没错……但战争难道不是所有涉及黑暗金属的乐团的一个基本概念吗？
我们对于战争的概念更多关于天堂的摧毁和鸡奸杀尽天使！我们亵读神和别人绝不一样，而是我们自己的艺术的主人！！基督教和所有错误的宗教一定都要被终止！！
当然，还没有结束……只要敌人受伤还没倒下！！HELL耶，战争还要进行直至阿撒泻勒的队伍作为最后的胜利者露面！
Demogorgon：你们如何看待那些政治化死亡金属和碾核乐队？我并不喜欢他们的态度和音乐，那里有着太多表面上的混乱。
Shyaithan：我没听过期任何政治化金属乐队，不管怎样他们也不能让我们起一点点兴趣！
Demogorgon：你们最喜欢的是什么，金属亚文化还是撒旦哲学？
Shyaithan：两者都是……我们把问题带出它们的局限。传扬是一方面但实践是另一方面。
我们是恐怖主义撒旦金属亵渎者！！我们会毫不犹豫地消灭杀绝神那懦弱的教友！！
Demogorgon：巡演途中，你们可曾和一些有着强烈种族观点的乐团或乐迷有过磨擦？我曾经见过一些此类传单。作为一支亚洲乐团……
Shyaithan：仍旧那么普遍这真的太糟了。这个领域有着“纳粹”黑暗金属乐队，戴着Swastika赞美他们的传统等等……！你一旦想到这里就觉得真的很孩子气压根儿荒诞不经！我们不管这个也不会容忍这些小孩。而且，我们在的时候他们总是躲起来。这就能看出他们实际有多么外强中干！
Demogorgon：黑暗金属界从评论界得到那么多过分的反面宣传之后，我想在最终，人们或许会关注于音乐。他们把我们独自留下，我乐意看到这样吗？
Shyaithan：个人而言我并不关心评论界或是大众媒体说什么，支持或批评我们的金属如何发育，黑暗/死亡金属总会带着威势战胜！！我很高兴看到有很大数目真正的疯子和乐团为金属而生，为金属而死！！我相信金属应该一直保持在地下……而不是他妈的像今天一样过分暴露！
Demogorgon：现在IMPIETY签到了Osmose Productions，那被看作是发行大量黑暗金属上乘之作的先锋。接下来IMPIETY在2001年的眼前有什么呢？何时所有地狱的军团才能得到新的重型声炮和感受到地狱的脉动呢？
Shyaithan：Osmose Productions至今已经在他妈地狱一样的极端金属干了十年最好的了！我们正在努力干着那将到来的专辑，新的攻击保证会比曾经在Skullfucking Armageddon中体验过的更怪异，更疯怪！2001年一直沉寂是因为我们买了新设备，使劲儿写，为了新攻击排练和准备！新的操基督的专辑将有八首新歌加上两首附送歌曲——翻唱强大的BLASPHEMY和SEXTRASH！
Demogorgon：这一刻还能透露点什么秘密吗？十分感谢你抽出钢铁一般的时间来鼓舞士气。
Shyaithan：盯紧了即将到来的攻击，今年比10月在德国“一台”（Stage One)录音室录制。
它会毫不仁慈地撕碎你的灵魂，淌干你们血液，野蛮地把你们的腐肉撕成碎片！！Demogorgon，为这次采访给你所有地狱钢铁的忘情欢呼！！
