Interview with ZAPPEDUSTER
Welcome to the FILTHY DOGS OF METAL Webzine.
Tell us a few things about ZAPPEDÜSTER (Members, Starting Year etc).
Well, we’re a duo playing Black Metal Punk born in 2017 with the intention being more primitive than our other spawn KVELGEYST - the lyrics are all about ghost stories, country lore and farmer wisdom spoken in an archaic dialect form from our region.
You have recently released your EP ''Näbelschlucker''. What is the feedback from your audience as well as from the press?
Since we have no delivery of post anymore in our hamlet Agasul, we sadly didn't hear anything about our release.
Label or DIY and why?
We’re doing this „Näbelschlucker“ release now on vinyl in collaboration with Into Endless Chaos, Urtod Void and Sägisse Rock, which is our own circle, so kind of both would be the proper answer.
Is there any funny or weird story from the recordings or from your live shows that you would like to share with us?
Once we played in an old gardener place with some Swiss folk band and our singer Knüppelknecht just stabbed a saw through the ceiling and another time he sawed into the stage. But usually we just have to pay attention, that nobody loses an eye while throwing around the scythe we traditionally have with us.
Do you prefer Vinyl, Tape, CD or Digital Format and why is that?
Vinyl is hot!
Your music style is Black/Speed MetalPunk. Which are your main influences (Favourite Artists / Bands etc.)
Maybe somewhere in between Darkthrone, Aura Noir, Discharge and Bad Brains?
Which things do you think a band should sacrifice in order to succeed? Have you ever sacrificed anything in your life for a better future for your band?
First of all our own sobriety.
Describe your ideal live show as a performance band. Have you already experienced that?
Probably the craziest show till now was in Linz at the Kapu from Torpedo. The people in Linz seem to be kind of exploding aliens compared to the square Swiss mob. And heard about the tradition, that the regulars at Kapu like to destroy chairs, we fullfilled their needs with our saw.
Tell us a few things about the New Underground Metal Scene in Switzerland (Bands, Fanzines, Webzines, Metal Clubs etc.)
There's a growing black metal scene in Switzerland, but not so much in case of black thrash or black metal punk. Check out Haile Selacid from the wild east! And the Berggeflvster Vinyl store in Zürich runned passionately by a small society could be called a main hangout venue doing a lot for the flourishing underground. In case of locations there is no way running past the unique „A-Way“ in Liestal nearby Basel.
What are your future plans?
Getting faster and never surrender!
Thank you very much for your time & keep up the good work! The closure is yours.
Thank you a lot and cheers to Greece!
