Hi, here's Průmyslová smrt, thank you for interviewing us,
lets go!
Is almost impossible to find information of your band in
english. So let's start this interview with questions about the band. Who are
the band members? How do you decided to play short, fast and loud music?
Yes, you're right. Only interview out in english is in
Pepas' zine called COMMUNAL GRAVE no.2. He and his brother Ondra have great
label DEAD HEROES rec. Focusing on
extreme hardcore, fastcore, grind and powerviolence, check and support
them. We started as Průmyslová smrt in 2003 as a side project of our main bands
Proletáři všech zemí (underground), Flying shits (emohardcore) a Human steak
(grunge). The reason was to be hardcore band with everything what is all about,
like scream about things we hate and be active in other ways. All that old
bands are dead, but Průmka still goes on. I am Mičl – singer, im interested in
politics and writing lyrics. Johan – guitar, he had started hardcore music
mania in our small town called Jihlava, by organizing gigs of foreing bands and
causes that bands like to return to Jihlava. Nobody of our band lives in
Jihlava now. Peťák – bassist composing ¾ of music, he came to the band in 2004
after the first bassist Bibi leaved and we started to play more fast. Frišta is
drummer and the engine of Průmka, he works like it,he just need beer and joint
to go. We know each other from childhood except of Peťák, we meet him at
highschol. Everyone is a little bit different, we are four friends playing in
band for 12 years.
Have you played in other bands in Czech Republic?
Sure, simply as i said PROLETÁŘI VŠECH ZEMÍ
(punk/underground), FLYING SHITS (emohardcore), HUMAN STEAK (grunge/drone), and
then MESSERSCHMITT 109 (crust/punk), RPO (hardcore/punk), PAST NA DŮCHOTCE
(punk), SCORBITI KURDAN (hardcore/punk), KOPNI FÍZLA DO HLAVY (elektro). That
was past bands and these are active: RAVING ED (hardcore/grind), FOREVER KRANG
(crazy/gore) a DISBEATLESS (crust/metal). That's all bands where anybody of
Průmyslová smrt had been playing.
I want to ask a couple of questions about Invaze Změn. How
long does it took you to make this album? It was all DIY record? How was the
recording process?
We worked on this quite long time, no hurry, oldest song is
from 2008 and most of songs are from years 2010-2012. We recorded it in
HELLSOUND and AB RECORDS we need something
to change to polish and when we were pleased we start to look for
labels. PAPAGÁJŮV HLASATEL records (maybe the oldest HC/punk label in CZ)
released our record with our participation. We paid recording and one third of
vynils so we can sell them on our shows, DIY style, you know.
Do you have any recordings coming this year?
Not this year. We released two records last year, 15song
onesided LP Invaze změn and 6 songs on split EP with THE TCHENDOS. There is
epochal song called Today last time by Tchendos, which sings Amrit Sen, singer
of legendary hardcore MICHAELS UNCLE. Now we are working on new shit, which can
be for next LP, theoreticaly. By considering the frequency of our rehearsals
and a timing of songs, it will take a
long time, i think :)
What are your personal musical influences?
There are a lot of them: SPERMBIRDS, NAŠROT, HNF, S.O.D.,
SAX, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER, LYCANTHROPHY, MINOR THREAT, GRIDE, NUCLEAR ASSAULT,
NASUM, REPULSION and much more especialy 80's thrash, death, crossover a hardcore bands. We just
want to play brutally fast :)What do you think about the Czech scene?I like Czech scene a lot, overall HC scene, i feel czech
bands are not generic like in Poland or Germany or anywhere and i thing that cz
bands are original in what they play, like musically and because of it they can
be known worldwide. Also there are no interest in bands without english lyrics,
but fuck this. If you are a fan, you find your own. Filip Fuchs passed few days
ago, biggest czech promoter of DIY music and lifestyle, we honour his memory. I
think it would be great, if there will come group of people who will continue
his zine HLUBOKÁ ORBA and it could became czech version of MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL
or something.
This is your space to say what you want to the fans and
readers. Thanks for the interview!
Thank you for interview. Don't let manipulate yourself by
media and stupid talks of politics and
actors which are bribed and if not, their opinions are mostly stupid. Majority
of us are working class and if we accede to game of rich our lives will go into
shit. Make your own opinions and never stop to think critically, because it
could be the start of the end. Bye folks, we are Průmyslová smrt.
