Shane Rout - Abyssic Hate (Late 99/Early 00)



Abyssic Hate is a one man project hailing from Australia, this interview was conducted with him in early 2000


1.) A brief synopsis of the projects history/contributing members/release history
AH is a 1 man project formed in 1993. The history can be found on the AH web page but there have been quite a few demo's, promo's, compact discs etc, released since its inception. More our bound to come at a slow and steady pace through No Colours.


2.) Give some general thoughts on the inspiration behind the music.
Musically the band is inspired by Darkthrone ("A Blaze") and Burzum ("Filosofem") because simply, these 2 bands write music which I feel as if I could have written myself ... hearing these albums bought so much emotion to my inner being, it felt 100% natural to create in the same mind frame as these artists ... to play something original for the sake of it, would only mean AH would sound fake and crap!
Brutality before originally!!!


3.) Some specifics on your sound.
The sound of AH is extremely harsh and most importantly, underground! This band has always sought to drive the majority of humans away with its nauseous sound/production and so far, it has been very successful. All music is recorded on an 8-track analogue recorder so it impossible to have an overproduced digital sound. Hail the underground!!!


4.) What is your opinion on the state of the underground situation?
The underground is in a very healthy state again which is pleasing to see. Bands such as Graveland, Absurd, Veles, Thunderbolt, Kataxu, Gontyna Kry, Kristallnacht etc. have influenced a large number of both European and American people to re-discover the UG and this is only a positive thing. The UG has ideology and a formatted belief system which the over-ground scene does not have. We will always put ideology
before money, and emotion before the sound of the music!!


5.) What is coming up for this project over the next 1-2 years?
That is not easy to answer, if not impossible. Anything can happen in the future - best to take one day at a time. Sorry for this boring interview, but AH is a very ideological band and none of these subjects were touched upon. Support the Pagan Front ..visit the website at http://paganfront.cjb.org/ and await for the upcoming
revolution!
