Could you provide us some basic info about your band?
We come from a country unbeknowst to some people which is the Slovak Republic, right in the heart of fucking Europe. We invade your ears under the name KHADAVER since 2006 with our electro/blackened metal. And we will do it until we die of some kind of overdose.
Why did you exactly pick this track to appear on the compilation?
It is the panties wetter for girls and heart burster for boys. Or is it the other way? Can't really tell. Anyways - it is the most successful song of our debut demo EP so we definitely want to present ourselves with that.
How important is and has the internet been for your band?
Very very important. We can download porn and then watch it on rehearsals... eheh just kidding. Yes the internet is a very important thing nowadays considering the load of bands that emerge every day. We can gain attention in places we would not if we were established 15 years ago. But of course, we still have to try hard and do our thing the best way we can. No one becomes famous overnight thanks to the internet, except when you record a video shouting "Leave Britney alone!" or some crap like that. But that is not the way we want to present ourselves.
What are the views upon the local music industry in your native country?
Since we are a small country, we have a small market for music bands. So if you want to get famous here you have to play pop-rock crap about the same shit all over again with same chords and melodies. Underground and non-mainstream bands have no support at all, because there is no label here which could do it. Therefore Slovak bands turn mostly to the Czech Republic or other countries as well, for release and support.
And what about the rest of the world?
Record labels are definitely a good thing considering that they release the music of artists, they promote the bands and help them to gain knowledge among the fans. At least those professional ones. But there is also another side of the whole thing and it is greed of people above which do not care about the music and the artists. They just care about the money and money and then they invent stupid things like forbid the MP3 downloads ! Forbid the Napster ! Forbid the Torrents ! And furthermore, some greedy bands (Metallica anyone?) support them.
How do you see the role of the record labels in the music industry in about 10 years?
They will still exist, with the same philosophy as today. Unlucky, the money moves the world and people with lots of money who want to get even more money will put more effort into promoting the bands than just passionate amateur music supporters. That's the naked truth.
What are your opinions on the Industrialized Metal Webzine and Death To Music Productions?
They both have my symphaties for promoting the underground bands and helping them to reach the wider specter. Wish there were more of those like you in the world !
Do you have some final words to add?
