MB - When will Anton Crowley's true identity be revealed?
KJ - Hopefully soon..it's all legal stuff that we are currently taking care of at the moment.
MB - To me there are elements of both death and
black metal on
Holocausto De La Morte. Whos
idea was it to have that
black metal sound in there?
KJ - We just write..we don't think about styles ect.. we just
write whatever we feel..
we love early death metal and black
metal,,,anton wrote the whole album musically.

..thats
Anton's project recorded back in 1994 ..other
releases will soon follow.

..brilliant band..also Octinimos from
Sweden..very fast hyper speed
black metal, i'm looking at a few other bands
as well...
MB - When will the Necrophagia video be released and how will it be available?
KJ - Hopefully by Halloween of 99..but you never know with these
types of things
it seems there are always unavoidable
delays.

KJ - Only the sickest stuff imaginable, tons of blood, flesh
eating,
sacrifices, heart eating, zombies eye gougings
..very vile stuff indeed.

is endless.

KJ - Slow but sure..we hope to record in
september..our debut will be called Ceremony In
Flames.
MB - I read that Jim Van Bebber was directing the
home video, he has been
called the new god of horror. How
was it working with him?
KJ - Jim is awesome..the sure heir to Fulci's throne...he is extreme to say the least.
MB - How did you ever come up with those sick vocals?
KJ - Thanks..they always change..i'm always striving for heavier
sicker ways of doing things..thats really the
case with the whole band.
MB - What bands do you listen to?
KJ - Mayhem, Celtic Frost, Usurper, Sabbath, Plasmatics,
Thornspawn and
lots of early death and black metal.
MB - What caused the original incarnation Necrophagia
to break up after such a short
career?
KJ - They wanted to completely change our sound to wimp metal or
Scorpians
meets Queensryche stuff...i would have none of
that so we broke up.

KJ - Festival Studios in New Orleans.
MB - What ever happened to the other members of the original lineup?
KJ -No idea..they aren't doing any kind of music from what i can tell.
MB - How did you guys get Jenna Jameson to pose in those pictures?
KJ - Jenna is cool as hell..she's a friend ..i've kown her for a
few years..
she was into the idea because she likes heavy
music.
MB - Give some details on the upcoming Mini-CD Black Blood Vomitorium.
KJ - It's heavier than Holocausto..should have 5 songs or so and
it'll be out in late sept,,,
with a gore drenched comic book based n the
title of the new cd.
MB - What can fans expect out of Necrophagia in the future?
KJ - We will just keep getting heavier and sicker,,..this will be
darkness ..we live for horror..
