Interview with Waste of Life

Thank you for taking time to talk with us. How are you?

You're welcome my friend. I am doing quite well, I've actually been in a happy mood lately, for once.

Tell us a little about your self.

I am simply a musician, I don't know what more to say.

What got you into music and recording and when did you pick up your first instrument?

I have the typical "metalhead" story, when I was 13, I got really into Metallica, Maiden, Judas Priest, and the like, and I decided to learn guitar. Technically, my first instrument of passion was the drums, which I played in school band when I was 10, but hated the practices, and gave up.

What do you hope to accomplish with Waste of Life?

I hope to make a name for myself in the underground scene, and fucking stay there, I will never pull a "Dimmu Borgir" with Waste of Life, or any other projects of mine. I also wish to make music like-minded people can enjoy, and maybe drive some people to suicide.

You have been in a lot of musical projects/bands can you shed some light on that?

I have a lot of different tastes, as you obviously know, Waste of Life is a DSBM project, but I have other projects ranging from Dark Ambient/Electric, to total fucking Death Metal. Some people say that I should make one project, and make all of my music, but that is so fucking ignorant to say. Just because I have a lot of solo projects, doesn't mean they are all the same, they all have different meanings. Lot's of other artists in full bands have lots of other bands they're in, it's the same concept. People are just fucking stupid.

What influences you when it comes to music? Is there anything else that influences you like movies, traveling, ect, ect, ect?

I draw influence, of course, from other bands. However, other influences that help me write are: walking through forests, anti-depressants, my stay in a mental hospital, self-mutilation, alcohol, and just total fucking depression and self-disgust, as well as disgust for humanity, people make me sick, and a good majority should just fucking commit suicide.

What is next in line on your musical path?

We will have to see where time takes me, I will keep going with Waste of Life, because it is a very honest project, and honesty in music is the best policy.

Not to say my other projects aren't honest, but Waste of Life is a direct view into my mental state.

We thank you for talking with us! Is there final thoughts or words you wish to say?

You're quite welcome. Last words? Well, I have a full length album coming out, which you reviewed haha, and one last word for any fucking poser reading this...kill yourself, and stay out of our fucking scene, we don't need you, don't want you, and will never accept you. The dark ages of black metal will come again, and I will take part in the holocaust.

Have a nice day my friend, I hope to talk to you guys again soon!
