Info

Unholy Redeemer, a new Death Metal project with members hailing from Australia, Denmark, and Finland. Comprised of musicians from bands like Desecresy, Undergang and Nocturnal Graves, the group specializes in a particularly dark and old-school style of Death Metal. Their demo ‘A Fever to Dethrone All Kings’ is something to check out if you’re a fan of Sadistic Intent, Morbid Angel and Incantation. Steven (guitars) and Jens (vocals) are here to tell you more about this international project.  

First of all, welcome to VM-Underground. How are things at your end? Music on the background while answering the questions?
Steven: Thank you for inviting us. I am resting in bed late at night with headphones on, listening to Vomitor’s debut album for maybe the 100th time since it came out, contemplating sleep after this. Will it help me have nightmares? I hope so.

Jens: After a horrible night’s sleep, I did an early morning gym session , followed by a grandpa style power-nap. I am currently inhaling coffee while typing away and listening to the legendary “A Witness to the Regicide ” EP by Grand Belial’s Key . I will follow it up with the Excellent new Bloodline album ” Viva Corruption” .

How did this project started with members all over the world, who did get in contact with each other?
Steven: It’s hard to give you a short answer, but I’ll try! I essentially quit playing guitar in 2006 (after starting in the early 90’s) due to a wrist injury. I still had riffs and songs, but due to circumstances outside my control, I could not play. However, in 2020, I decided to buy a cheap guitar and try a few things. It turns out that I can play again… it was decided to form a band to give new (un)life to my old unrecorded songs, as well as write new material with other people. Digital recording programs also make this possible, as I don’t want to be part of a regular band which does live shows and other nonsense. I just want to create and record unholy Death Metal as I sit alone in my house, cutting myself in the dark and screaming reverse Bible verses until my throat bleeds. I’ve known Jarro since the early 2000’s when we recorded the Crucifire 7” together in 2006, although I knew who he was since I bought the Destruktor demo when it came out. He instantly offered to play the drums and there was no way I was going to disagree. For the demo, Jarro also played bass but we have since recruited Tommi. I started a correspondence with Tommi through my fanzine, Devoured Death, when he was interviewed for #3, and I had also been a huge fan of his writing style since the second Slugathor album was released (a masterpiece album). I had not known Jens very well before Unholy Redeemer, but we maybe traded some tapes or 7”s in the mid 2000’s through his label? I can’t remember haha.. I knew who he was from the Victimizer ‘Communist Crusher’ double 7”, which I greatly enjoyed. He is one cool fukking dude and is bringing a devastatingly dark and brutal vocal performance to the band.

Jens: In 2023 I was on vacation in Australia (my third trip down under so far) and was staying with Jarro (Who has been a friend for 20+ years ) for a stint of the trip and he mentioned that he was doing a project with Steve called Unholy Redeemer and asked if I would try recording test vocals on one of the tracks and even though I was recovering from a nasty headcold, I went for it . I guess both he and Steve liked the result enough to ask me to join the band a little later. Some months after my return to Denmark, I recorded vocals for the demo. Steven and I have actually never met in person , but that will surely change on my next Australia trip, hopefully to take place in the spring of 2026 . We text all the time and have had several phone calls as well , we work very well together and I look forward to what’s coming next. I was always a fan of Steven‘s work and as he already touched upon, I did indeed distribute the Crucifire EPs when running my old label / distro Pentagram Warfare Records. I was however dealing with the respective labels and not Steven directly if my ancient ass remembers correctly…

Could you tell us about the core inspirations behind Unholy Redeemer’s sound? I’m curious to know what drew you to this specific style of Death Metal, which artists and albums have had the most significant impact on your songwriting, and what it is about their work that resonates so deeply with you.
Steven: A couple of impactful recordings which put me onto a Death Metal path would be Slayer’s ‘Hell Awaits’ which I bought in 1991, and Bolt Thrower’s ‘Warmaster’ album, which my brother and I got shortly after. Seasons In The Abyss was the first Slayer album I got, but Hell Awaits was just totally unholy and held a tangible feeling of something spiritually dangerous. This was a time in culture where people still believed there were Satanic covens in society, devil worship, etc. Satanic Panic if you will, so I felt like I was entering something morally perilous, especially since I was only 12 years old. The parents of other children were told not to be my friend because I wore heavy metal t-shirts, so you could easily feel like an outsider when you decide to walk this path in those days. Warmaster album was the first time I heard a recording which held its intensity from song one until the end. It was foreboding, inexorable and bleak. The style was monotonous and without finesse or soft edges – the whole recording was barbaric, dystopian but still somehow controlled. As far as my playing style, I would rate the following recordings as being highly influential on me, and therefore the Unholy Redeemer sound: Embalmed Souls – Become Vengeance Become Wrath demo, Maleficarum (IT) – Unblessed demo, Incantation – Mortal Throne, Vital Remains – Into Cold Darkness, Belial – Wisdom Of Darkness, Headhunter DC – Punishment At Dawn, Deicide – Once Upon The Cross, Dominus Xul – debut album, Decrepit – demo, Mystifier – Goetia, also Disembowelment (specifically the track ‘extracted nails’ from the Pantalgia compilation). I also heavily indulge in old Mercyful Fate, Nifelheim, Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, D666, Nasty Savage, Excoriate (Ger), Vulpecula, Armored Angel, Motörhead, Sabbat (Jap), Bathory and other bands which inspire negative energy as I write. But I only know how to write and play Death Metal, so I’ll never do another style. It is the style which helps me express inner turmoil, creativity and emotions where words fail.

Jens: Dark atmosphere has always been the draw for me when it comes to extreme metal in general .. I am not into humour mixed with my death metal (unless done in a clever and dark way ala Macabre) . I have always had a rather dark side of my personality ever since being a kid, way before getting into music, I was never a fan of happy endings in movies and drawn towards all things scary. Quite the little pessimist haha After getting into Iron Maiden mainly due to the covers fascinating me and then Metallica etc, an older guy from my small town started dubbing me tapes. I remember Blessed are the Sick , Leprosy, Cause of death and what I found out much later (due to mislabelled tape) was the debut album of Rigor Mortis being among those first ones. “Blessed ..” especially made a big impact with its otherworldly dark atmosphere and creepy interludes , I listened to that tape on many a dark morning while doing my paper route before school in the blistering Danish winter. These days I generally listen to a lot of different music (most of it dark in some shape or form). A few favourites would be : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Morbid Angel (A-G albums) , Dissection, (early) Metallica, Deicide, Immolation, Incantation, Funeral (Swe), (early) Slayer, Exodus (first album ONLY), Infernal Majesty (1st album), Bathory, Burzum, Funeral Mist, Nifelheim, W.A.S.P, (early) Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Destroyer 666, Marduk, Strychnos, Sanctuary, Dead Congregation,Sadistic Intent, Early Mercyful Fate /King Diamond, Grand Belial’s Key, Motörhead, Mysticum, Aghast, Arghoslent, Kaamos, Venus Star, Clandestine Blaze, Bloodline, Diabolicum and about a million others. Outside of metal , some favourites are : The Doors, Fields of the Nephilim, The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Coffinshakers, John Carpenter, Chris Isaak, Puissance, Arditi, Hank III, Johnny Cash, Dead can Dance as well as soundtracks from brilliant films such as The Ninth Gate, Donnie Darko, Suspiria, The Road, The Omen, The Exorcist, Dracula, Lord of the Rings, Jaws, Frailty, The Mist and Nosferatu , to name a few. I’m a music nerd to put it mildly.

Thank you for your extensive answer and insight into the sound behind Unholy Redeemer and your own musical history. Before we dive into Unholy Redeemer’s music, I’m curious about your perspective on the genre’s origins. What release or releases would you point to as the essential, historical blueprint for the style you’re playing?
Steven: Possessed – Seven Churches, Necrophagia – Season Of The Dead, Sarcofago – INRI, Necrovore – Divus De Mortuus, Bolt Thrower – In Battle…, Nihilist – Demos, Morbid Angel – Altars Of Madness, Abhorrence – Vulgar Necrolatry, Deicide – s/t, Autopsy – Mental Funeral, Immolation – Dawn Of Possession, Sentenced – Shadows Of The Past, Corpse Molestation – Descention Of A Darker Deity, Incantation – Onward To Golgotha. Mystifier – Göetia. Angelcorpse – Hammer Of Gods. To me, these recordings when combined provide the framework for the style of Death Metal I enjoy most.

Jens: Morbid Angel (by far my favourite death metal band): Altars of Madness/Blessed are the Sick”, : Death: “Leprosy”, Deicide : “S/T” / “Once Upon the Cross”, (Serpents of the Light is also an album that has grown a lot on me in recent years), ” Immolation: “Dawn of Possession” and “Close to a World Below” (I consider Immolation as the most relevant band from the old guard), Autopsy: “Mental Funeral”, Celtic Frost: “To Mega Therion”, Incantation: “Onwards to Golgatha”, Rigor Mortis : “S/T” , Nunslaughter: “Hells Unholy Fire” / “Goat”, Sarcofago: I.N.R.I , Hellhammer: Apocalytic Raids as well as countless others.

Alright, let’s talk about Unholy Redeemer and the debut demo ‘A Fever to Dethrone All Kings’. Could you tell us about the creative process and the journey of putting it all together? On a more personal note, is there anything you’d like to share about the themes, the artwork, or any specific stories behind the release that our readers might find interesting?
Steven: About half of the riffs for the demo were written from 1995-2005, some of which were going to form new Crucifire songs. Of course this never occurred though, since the band ended in 2006. When I wanted to write music again, I actually bought myself a good quality electronic drum kit with a set of Iron Cobra double kicks, then learnt some basic recording programs around 2021. I didn’t want to use a drum machine, even for song writing / internal demos, although these days we write with one because it’s just more convenient. So there are pre-demo versions of me playing drums to these songs as part of the song writing process. Jarro and I then sat down and made improvements to the arrangements and the drums were completely reinvented, as my playing ability is quite limited and I’m too old to start learning to properly play such a physically demanding instrument (I can blast, d-beat and hold down slow double bass, but not much else). Reactions have been positive with many old school maniacs, with some referencing the last track, Halo Of Flies, as a popular one. However, I think it’s difficult for us to properly find an audience yet. We don’t play live. We aren’t good at social media stuff. We don’t do band photos. Our artworks and themes don’t fit with what is popular now – most popular underground Death Metal bands now are doing sewer, rot, space, gore type themes, which is completely fine. But for us, it needs to be grounded in blasphemy, misanthropy and spiritual corruption. We have also been slow to finish our second recording. But I have started to see this as a good thing. Too many bands are releasing things very quickly and in great abundance. It’s almost impossible to know where to focus sometimes. At least this way we get a chance to slowly build interest in the band between recordings.

Jens: Not too much to add here as most of the material was completed when I joined the band. My contribution was mainly in arranging the vocals, changing a few lyrics etc . I do agree with Steve regarding his estimate of the climate of the whole 2025 metal circus .. I think we all have pretty solid old school roots and do not care too much about social media hype and whatnot and just keep it to a bare minimum. We make this music primarily for ourselves and diabolical dark death metal is our weapon of choice. When it comes to special songs on the demo, I like them all but “Revere the Slaughter” was however the first song I heard and worked on, so maybe that one for me.

In my review I mentioned that fans of Incantation and Sadistic Intent will enjoy your 3-track dark, somewhat occult Old School Death Metal. Do you agree?
Steven: I think your assessment is accurate. If someone doesn’t like old Incantation or Sadistic Intent, then they should not bother looking up Unholy Redeemer.

Jens: I wholeheartedly agree but would perhaps add Morbid Angel to that list hehe . We are not trying to reinvent the wheel here; the main goal is to present genuine dark Death Metal via solid song writing.. Nothing more – Nothing less!

Steven: Something I’d like to add is that it’s a known fact that all the best Death Metal albums have already been written many years ago. To quote Kieth Warslut; “Only one in a thousand could be called an artist. The rest of us just have to be content with rearranging the past” [Heresy Mag #2 in 1997]. If we create recordings which are only appreciated by people like us, then that’s totally fine by me.

Jens: Very valid point!

The demo has been release by Extremely Rotten Productions & Sphere of Apparition Records. Could you tell us more about that?
Steven: A long time ago, having your release on a label used to be considered a big deal. It used to mean you ‘made it’. You used to release your own demo.. but now labels do the release! We’ve all been through the situation of loads of mail, sending promo’s, organizing trades, visiting the post office daily, etc.. and to be honest, none of us wanted to do it again haha.. So to have the physical copies of the demo handled by a label, this is awesome for us! Even though it’s now become common.. Jens has already known David from Extremely Rotten Prod for some years, and I had discussions with him via my fanzine, Devoured Death. Jason from Sphere Of Apparition Rec has been a friend of mine after I got to know him through the fanzine as well. We did speak to several labels, but ultimately working with David and Jason was agreed. Extremely Rotten is a killer underground label, with David being a true obsessed maniac. Since half the band is in Australia, we wanted to make it easier for people here to get a copy, so Sphere Of Apparition Rec became a good choice. Jason is awesome to work with. He keeps the roster on his label small, choosing to focus on Australian releases.

Jens: I have known David since around the time when Undergang released their debut demo .. (Fun fact: My first crappy black metal band back in 1999 or so was actually also called Undergang haha) We have stayed in sporadic contact ever since and he has also contributed logos for some previous bands of mine such as Church Bizarre and The Vein as well as artwork for Cerekloth‘s “Halo of Syringes” EP . David is an all-around friendly and super solid dude and seemed like a perfect fit for Unholy Redeemer. I really try to support Extremely rotten, both the label and the killer shop in Copenhagen. Jason of Sphere of Apparition also did a great job with the CD release. Nothing but praise for both labels.

As both recording artists and likely collectors yourselves, what’s your take on physical formats like cassette and vinyl? What kind of significance does a physical release hold for you?
Jens: I would not say that tapes are that important for me personally anymore other than the nostalgic factor of growing up with tapes and discovering a lot of music via tape trading /dubbing. It is however a great format for a filthy death metal demo I must say. Tapes is probably the format that I buy the least of currently. I am however big on physical media and I still buy tons of 12″ LPs , CDs and even movies. In my personal collection I guess I have around 2000 CDs and maybe 1300 LPs, a few hundred 7″EPs as well as a small stack of 10″MLPs and maybe 150 demo tapes. It is very important to have your own stuff on vinyl I reckon .. Our next release is planned for release on 12″ wax.

Steven: When I was a kid, I didn’t feel like I fit in anywhere. I bought cassettes and played them endlessly on my Walkman, first buying stuff like Motley Crue, Motorhead, DOA w/Jello Biafra, Exploited, The Angels, AC/DC, Slayer, Sex Pistols, Lawnmower Deth, Iron Maiden, M.O.D and Dead Kennedys stuff around 1990-92. This was when I was exploring extreme sounds. It’s a format which holds great nostalgia for me. But around 2007 or so, I began to change my collecting habits to be almost exclusively CD. It takes up the least space and is the easiest to acquire. I was very stupid and sold a bunch of tapes around 2009, including some gems like my Angelcorpse demo purchased from Gene. The $100 I got for it was nice but I’d easily pay that price (and more!) to get it back now haha.. I still have about 60 tapes though, compared to about 1200 CD’s. It’s my firm belief that demos should always be on tape. The worst format of all time for demos was CDr. That shit sucked and I pretty much ‘frisbeed’ all of those into the bin some years ago. Oh and since we are talking about formats, I HATE digipack CD’s.. They get damaged easily and you can’t mail them without a case when needing to cut package weight down.. But I have a bunch of them anyway.. All future recordings of Unholy Redeemer will also be pressed on vinyl. The only reason the demo isn’t, is because it’s too long for a 7” and would be too short for a 10”.

Looking ahead, what are your future plans and aspirations for Unholy Redeemer? Can you give us a glimpse into any new material you’re working on and how it might evolve from the sound of your demo?
Steven: We have half-finished the recording of our next release, a MLP titled ‘Journey Beyond Death’. It contains four songs in just under 20 minutes. Tommi has written one of the tracks, which will be the closing song on the release. It’s also the first recording he plays on for the band. People who have heard a sample of the songs (instrumental pre-production demos) have told me it sounds like a continuation of the demo but more complex and varied across the four songs. I would agree with this. It’s an intention of mine that that we avoid being a band where every release sounds totally the same. You also don’t want to stray too far from the correct formula for your band. So you need to find that sharp edge where you can balance exploring new ground as well as staying true to your sound. When listening to the MLP songs myself, I can hear my writings were inspired by early Fleshcrawl, Torchure, D666, Grave Miasma, Disembowelment, Celtic Frost, Cianide and believe it or not, some dark classical music melodies at some point. Beyond this release, we already have enough material to start working on an album. Tommi and I have created the basic structures of 6-7 new songs which we’ll work on as a band probably next year (2026), but when will we record it? Who knows! The debut LP when eventually released, will be titled ‘The Sulphur Communion’.

Jens: The new material has definitely been more of a band collaboration compared to the demo . I have contributed with half the lyrics and most of the vocal arrangements this time around , while the demo was more or less completed when I joined . Tommi has also contributed with both music and lyrics and they fit the U.R concept splendidly. Quite psyched on the new songs, they sound just like Unholy Redeemer but take a considerable leap forward I would say. Looking forward to finalizing the recording and move on to the works of the debut album “The Sulphur Communion”, which points to being our most dark and sinister material so far, and dare I say it, takes us in a slightly more epic direction.

Well, I’m already looking forward to hear your new material. Besides Unholy Redeemer you guys are involved with acts like Desecresy, Nocturnal Graves among others. Any news on them, or any other projects you’re dealing with at the moment, or near future?
Jens: Cerekloth has been dead and buried since 2012 .. Perdition’s Mire Is just about to record a new promo thing consisting of two new tracks as well as a cover. Unfortunately we cannot use our usual studio at the moment, so we will try recording this on our own primitive gear. This could end up fitting our particular style of black metal, we shall see. I also have a project called The Pale hand together with ex Cerekloth guitarist Morten. This is very dark, twisted and somewhat experimental extreme metal. We did an EP on Death Knell Productions (Rus) some years ago and an album is more or less ready to go and will hopefully be recorded at some stage. Apart from that, there has been talks of a couple of other small projects with various people, but too early to mention anything specific as of now.

Steven: I asked Tommi for an update on Desecresy. He says that a new album has been recorded but there is no release date set. I’ve heard some of it and it’s really killer. I honestly think Desecresy albums get better with time, as Tommi is able to completely immerse himself in the writing/creative process, playing all of the instruments and doing all the production/recording work. There are risks when working this way as you can become insulated from outside ideas, but he has only become more creative and experimental. The more recent albums he has done are venturing deeper into an artistic creative place, with his songs painting images in the mind of the listener, of barren, otherworldly landscapes. Especially his last couple of albums, they really take you on a journey.. Nocturnal Graves seems to be on a break but Jarro is also doing a band called Psychic Mass, which is a psychedelic rock band which also features the guitarist from Denouncement Pyre (Langey). I recommend checking their new EP out.

Many musicians have other roles in the scene. Outside of the band, are you involved in music in a different way?
Steven: I do a fanzine, Devoured Death. We are working on #7 at the moment. It’s an A5, cut and paste, xerox style fanzine inspired by other zines such as Canadian Assault, Desecration of Virgin, Unholy Terror, Metal Core, Darkness Eternal, Forgotten Chapel, Alliance of the Heretic and others. I did the first issue in 2006 but for #4 onwards, a friend of mine does it with me – Nick (aka UkurAzag). Over the years we have featured new and old bands such as Grave Miasma, Iron Angel, Mortuous, Excoriate (Ger), Mortal Sin, Claustrum, Maleficarum (It), Damon Bloodstorm/Bestial Warlust, Infamovs, Vacuous, Crucifier, Contaminated, Belial, Licentious, Destruktor, Abhorrence, Azathoth, Rotten Tomb, Puncture Wound and many others. Nick runs the social media accounts for the zine. I do all the layouts, formatting and mail. Together we do the interviews though. Jarro is a drum teacher, and through his studio, he has done a combination of either mixing, mastering or producing for bands such as Funerary Pit, Destruktor, Hellsodomy, Encabulos, Denouncement Prye and others. Tommi has done artwork for Cadaveric Incubator and a handful of other bands. He also did the lightening skull drawing on the back of the Unholy Redeemer demo CD and a design for a shirt we made. He seems to be an all-round artist, using several mediums to create, most recently trying his hand at sculptures.

Jens: I focus on the actual music since many years. I have however helped book /set up a few gigs for bands in the past few years together with my friend Lasse (also the drummer in Perdition ́s Mire) First concert was with Undergang, Phrenelith and Ascendency, Our Second with Kill (Swe), Gespenst and Shamash. The third one took place in January this year and we had Hellbutcher (Swe), Strychnos, Kill (Swe) and Sadokrista tearing up the stage. There are no concrete plans as of now , but I am pretty sure we will set up more gigs in the future. In the past I also ran my label / Distro Pentagram Warfare Records and wrote Interviews and reviews for Evilution Magazine as well as doing a short review stint for Imhotep (Nor).

Shifting gears slightly, what’s been on your personal playlist lately? We’re not just talking about the classics…are there any recent discoveries, hidden gems, or bands from your respective home countries that you’d like to recommend to our readers?
Jens: From the Danish scene, I support and enjoy : Ligfaerd (black metal), Strychnos (blackened death metal), Phrenelith (death), Chaotian (death), Nortt (black funeral doom), Undergang (death), Taphos (death), Altar of Oblivion (epic doom), Ascendency (death/black), Deiquisitor (death), Morgellons (death/doom), Temple of Scorn (death) and Destabilizer (thrash) to name a few. Somewhat newer bands that has been on rotation includes Grotesque Bliss, Corpus Offal, Sijiin, Daeva , Abhorration, Serpentes, Warmoon Lord , Dead Void, Swallowed, Mayhemic etc . Of older stuff I have recently been relistening to Sanctuary’s brilliant debut album “Refuge Denied” a lot and also purchased their killer demo compilation entitled “Inception” which was a great find for me I always listen to tons Of early Sabbath, Maiden, Motörhead, Morbid Angel, Funeral Mist, Bloodline, Bonded by Blood by Exodus, Show no Mercy by Slayer, The early Metallica stuff, Immolation, Early Mercyful Fate /King Diamond, Sadistic Intent, Judas Priest, Mysticum, Gehenna (Nor), Burzum, W.A.S.P, Danzig, The Misfits, Fields of the Nephilim, The Doors, Dead can Dance, The Sisters of Mercy and about a million others.

Steven: In Australia, some recent releases or new bands I have been listening to are Karyorrhexis (Death/doom), Grotesque Blessing (Death/doom), Reekmind (Death metal), Voidchrist (obscure Death metal). Recent international bands: Necromaniac, Satanicristo, Crank, Repugnator, Mortual, Perditions Mire, Deadspeak, Abhorration, Tormentador, Sepulchral Whore, Vengeance Horde. Digging into the past, I have been indulging in some of the following bands: Order From Chaos, Venenum, Mystic Charm, Saram, Acheron (US), Teitanblood, early Paradise Lost, Dai, Fornicator, Condor, Tygers of Pan Tang (the first album rips!) and many others. I sometimes go through a NWOBHM phase, which comes and goes. There’s just so many bands to explore there.

The artwork and presentation are often as important as the music in this genre. What are some of your favourite labels and cover artists whose work you consistently admire? And on the distribution side of things, what are some of the zines or distros that you rely on to find new music and stay connected to the scene?
Steven: Some good current zines I’ve been reading are Wolfkult Religion, Necrodynamo, Roar Of War, Conscious Rot, Metal Horde, Bestial Desecration, Necroscope, Night Terrors, Preservation Of Death, Cryograf, Feed The Beast, Noxious Ruin, Embrace Of Death and others. Living in Australia, international postage sucks donkey ballz, so I try to order from local distros/labels like Sphere Of Apparition, Underground Force Prod (owned and ran by Damon Bloodstorm.. he gets some killer bootlegs!), Total War Rec, Blacksound Rec and occasionally Séance Rec. Internationally, I tend to use Discogs to find the best price but I find myself also ordering from Extremely Rotten Prod, NWN!, Iron Bonehead, Nuclear Winter Rec, Invictus, Hells Headbangers and Nihilistic Holocaust Prod (good French postage rates when buying zines from my old friend Gab). I try to order direct from bands too. Recently I did a big order with Sergio from Headhunter DC, grabbing 4-5 CD’s and a kick ass Punishment at Dawn shirt.

Jens: I must confess to not really buying that many zines these days but I do like Steves zine Devoured Death a lot . I also like Bardo Methodology (both the webzine and physical zine) as well as Hellpike from Germany. Just finished reading the Immolation biography “Into Everlasting Fire” which was a great read indeed. Other than that, most of my reading nowadays is dedicated to  mafia related books as well as various musician biographies and movie related books. When it comes to purchasing stuff for the collection, I usually order from Extremely Rotten Records, New Era Productions, Iron Bonehead Productions, Amor Fati, Norma Evangelium Diaboli, Equilibrium Music, A bigger Danish online store called Imusic, Sound Cave as well as discogs, ebay and various facebook pages .

Thank you very much for your time and answering my questions. Is there anything else you’d like to mention about Unholy Redeemer, the demo, or anything else we haven’t had a chance to discuss?
Jens: Thank you for the support, it is truly appreciated! NAUGHT BUT DEATH!

Steven: Thank you for giving us some space in your killer webzine. It’s been an honour to do this interview! I’d just like to add that one of my old bands, Crucifire, which existed from 2003-2006, has a compilation CD out now through Trauma Rec (Colombia). It’s intense and dark Death Metal inspired by bands such as Centurian, Dominus Xul, Mystifier, Krisiun and others… Check it the fukk out… HAIL FUKKING DEATH!
