ROCK OVERDOSE WEBZINE interview 2013

DEAD HUMAN FACTORY interview

Aπό το 1999 οι Αθηναίοι death / grind metallers Dead Human Factory έχουν κυκλοφορήσει πολλά demos και ένα ΕΡ ενώ η τελευταία τους κυκλοφορία, "1347 Black Death" μετράει μόλις μερικούς μήνες. Αυτή την Κυριακή 27 Ιανουαρίου θα πάρουν μέρος στο ROCK HARD LIVE και με αυτή την ευκαιρία, μίλησαν για πρώτη φορά στο Rock Overdose - μια συνεργασία με το Rock Hard.

rhliveΓεια χαρά και καλώς ορίσατε! Νέο mini CD πριν λίγους μήνες, πώς νιώθετε;
Καλώς σας βρήκαμε, νιώθουμε πάρα πολύ καλά, καταφέραμε και βγάλαμε ένα ακόμα cd και νομίζω ότι κάναμε ακόμα ένα βήμα μπροστά.
Είναι concept; Πώς προέκυψε ο τίτλος;
Όχι, δεν είναι concept, κάποια στιγμή διάβασα εντελώς τυχαία για την εξάπλωση της πανώλης στην Ευρώπη το 1347 και το βρήκα εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρον.
Υπάρχουν διαφορές με τις προηγούμενες δουλειές σας;
Όπως είπα και παραπάνω με αυτή τη δουλειά κάναμε ένα βήμα μπροστά. Καλύτερες συνθέσεις, περισσότερη εμπειρία στο studio και πολύ καλή δουλειά στον τομέα της παραγωγής από τον George Emmanuel.
Αλήθεια από πού παίρνετε έμπνευση για τους στίχους σας;
Η έμπνευση προέρχεται από τυπικές, φανταστικές ιστορίες τρόμου, θανάτου και αίματος. Εκτός από το τραγούδι J.S (Eaten more than the flesh) που είναι αληθινή ιστορία.
Ποιοι είναι οι λόγοι που σας έχουν κρατήσει τόσα χρόνια από την κυκλοφορία ενός full-length δίσκου;
Οι λόγοι είναι κυρίως η έμπνευση και φυσικά τα χρήματα. Ένα full-length θέλει πολλές ώρες στο studio άρα και περισσότερα χρήματα, από την άλλη όταν έχουμε 4 κομμάτια έτοιμα γιατί να περιμένουμε πότε θα ετοιμάσουμε τουλάχιστον άλλα τόσα; Ντου στο studio!
Υπάρχει κάποιο γεγονός που έχει μείνει έντονα στη μνήμη σας όλα αυτά τα χρόνια και γιατί;
Δεν υπάρχει μεγαλύτερη ξεφτίλα απ’ το να παίζει κάποια μπάντα το set της σε ένα live και όταν τελειώσει να παίρνει τους φίλους της και να φεύγει. Κανένας σεβασμός στα άλλα συγκροτήματα.
ΞΕΦΤΙΛΑ.
Επιδιώξατε ποτέ να παίξετε στο εξωτερικό;
Όχι.
dhfΠαρατήρησα ότι δεν υπάρχουν social media σελίδες για τη μπάντα. Συνειδητή επιλογή;
Καλά παρατήρησες, σε ότι αφορά το facebook η άρνηση είναι συνειδητή από εκεί και πέρα η μπάντα έχει blog και όποιος ενδιαφέρεται ας μπει στην διεύθυνση www.deadhumanfactoryofficial.blogspot.com
Η άποψή σας για την εξέλιξη της metal σκηνής στην Ελλάδα και μέσα από τη δική σας εμπειρία;
Η σκηνή έχει κάνει βήματα μπροστά, πολλές μπάντες κάνουν live στο εξωτερικό, περιοδείες με μεγάλα συγκροτήματα στην Ευρώπη, συμμετοχή σε ξένα festival, πολύ καλές παραγωγές σε γνωστά studio και με καταξιωμένους παραγωγούς.  Όλα αυτά δείχνουν ότι οι ελληνικές μπάντες μετράνε στην παγκόσμια metal σκηνή. Και σε ότι αφορά τον ακραίο χώρο η Ελλάδα αυτή τη στιγμή έχει μερικές από τις καλύτερες μπάντες και έχουν βγει φοβερές δισκάρες.
Σας ευχαριστώ για τον χρόνο σας. Κάτι που θα θέλατε να προσθέσετε;
Εμείς ευχαριστούμε, καλή συνέχεια στο rock overdose και σας περιμένουμε όλους αυτή την Κυριακή στο Rainbow για να γίνει της ΠΟΥ**ΝΑΣ.
ΥΠΟΣΤΗΡΙΞΤΕ ΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ DEATH METAL ΣΚΗΝΗ.

BEHIND THE VEIL WEBZINE interview 2005



Dead Human Factory
Dead Human Factory is a young Greek band delivering groovy death metal and after a couple of demos, they recently released their mini CD, "Demons Exhort Me To Hang Myself", making little steps in order to earn the recognition and support of the extreme metallers. If you really like what you do, then I'm sure that you'll also find people that share the same passion with you!

1. HELLO! FROM THE PICTURES I SAW ON YOUR NEW MINI –CD, I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE SOME LINE-UP CHANGES. CAN YOU TELL ME WHO LEFT AND WHO STAYED? WHICH WERE THE REASONS THAT LED SOME MEMBERS TO DEPART FROM THE BAND?
    Hi Nick! First of all, our bassist and drummer left the band and they have been replaced by John (drums) and Helen (bass guitar). Helen came after the recordings of our miniCD were over. The reasons for this line up changes are various, but first and foremost I focus on each person’s character and then on their talent. Some of the previous member are still close to the band and help it from another angle, but with other members that we have no contact anymore. 
2. SO WILL YOU CONTINUE AS A 2 MEMBERS BAND OR ARE YOU STILL IN SEARCH OF NEW MEMBERS? WHO PLAYED THE DRUMS IN YOUR NEW RELEASE?
    Dead Human Factory consists of me (vocals/guitar), John (drums) and Helen (bass guitar). The drums on this mini CD have been played by John. 
3. MOST OF THE SONGS ON YOUR NEW MINI-CD WERE ALREADY INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS RELEASES OF YOURS. SO WHY DID YOU INCLUDE THEM ONCE AGAIN INSTEAD OF ADDING SOME NEW COMPOSITIONS? HAVE YOU CHANGED THEM A BIT OR ARE THEY THE SAME AS IN THE PREVIOUS RELEASES?
    Three of the four songs appearing on this mini CD also exist on our debut demo CD. As for “Pain Domain” well this was also featured in an older compilation. The reason why we re-recorded them is because we wanted to change their style and sound. We wanted to make them groovy death metal, something that we didn’t manage to do previously. 
4. WHICH ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM YOUR NEW RELEASE? DO YOU EXPECT THAT IT WILL ATTRACT THE INTEREST OF LABELS OR YOU DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT?
    What interests us the most is to have a nice time with what we do and to be proud of our work. Now if a label shows any interest in us that would be really nice. If not, we won’t mind since we have a great time together! 
5. YOU HAVE CHANGED MANY TIMES YOUR STYLE. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? AREN’T YOU AFRAID THAT THIS MIGHT CONFUSE THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOWED THE BAND FROM THE START TILL NOW?
    The first demo CD sounded as it did because we had no previous studio experience and the producer didn’t help us at all!!! Both the second demo CD and this mini CD are close musically speaking, since we realize that what we enjoy playing the most is groovy death metal. If someone listens to our music and likes it, he will get them without caring whether there are differences in our style or not. 
6. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN IN YOUR LYRICS YOU LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT GORE STORIES. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF WRITING MORE REALISTIC LYRICS? DO YOU THINK THAT THEY WILL FIT TO YOUR MUSICAL STYLE?
    No, you are not mistaken! Our lyrics have an intense splatter theme, but this doesn’t mean that all our songs deal with gore topics. On this mini CD the song “J. S (Eaten…)” is a true story about a Russian cannibal who in 1996 killed and ate some people. However, as you can see we are once again back to splatter topics. Hahahaha!
7. I THINK THAT YOU ALSO ARE BIG FANS OF SIX FEET UNDER, SO LET’S SUPPOSE THAT THEY TELL YOU TO TAKE PART INTO A TRIBUTE FOR THEIR BAND. WHICH SONG OF THEIR WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO COVER AND WHY?
    First of all we’d like to participate in a tribute to Six Feet Under and if the band proposed our taking part, this would be a great honor for us! Yes, Six Feet under is our biggest influence and in the few shows we’ve played so far we cover “Lycanthropy” from their incredible debut album. So, in this imaginary tribute this would be the song that we’d love to cover. 
8. HOW DID THE PRESS AND FANS ACCEPT YOUR PREVIOUS AND NEW RELEASE? IF YOU RECEIVE MORE BAD REVIEWS THAN GOOD, WILL THIS SITUATION DISCOURAGE YOU OR NOT?
    We’ve listened to various comments on our works, others are positive and others are negative (without ever being insulting though). We respect every point of view and we try to constantly improve, without being got down from anybody or anything. 
9. DO YOU REMEMBER A REVIEW THAT YOU READ AND PISSED YOU OFF? WHY? WHAT WAS THE MOST FLATTERING COMMENT YOU READ ABOUT YOUR MUSIC?
    We mainly focus on the negative reviews to see if they have a point in what they say. I don’t agree with some of them, especially when they change the style we play. However, I agree with other reviews we receive, since I’m the first one to trace our mistakes. Generally I didn’t get upset or angry with any review so far. 
10. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME REPLYING THIS INTERVIEW! THE LAST LINES BELONG TO YOU… 
    Thank you Nick for the support you’ve been showing to us and good luck with Behind The Veil webzine. I’d like to thank all those who have helped us to realize this miniCD and those that are into groovy death metal. I think they’ll have a good time listening to “Demons Exhort Me To Hang Myself”.

BEHIND THE VEIL WEBZINE interview 2004

Dead Human Factory
DEAD HUMAN FACTORY :what do they play? Definetely not power metal. This band explores the extreme branch of our music and combine Death Metal with some Hardcore elements. Can you imagine a mixture of SIX FEET UNDER and SEPULTURA, then you got a very clear image of the band's sound. John, the guitarist and vocalist of the band replied with sincerity to our questions...

1.Hello,how are you?since you are a new band,can you give us a few info on the band's history and pressent the line up?
    The band was formed by me in December '99 and in 2001 we released our first demo work "The First Shout". In 2003 we participated with the song "Pain Domain" in the "Dead Spot" compilation originally compiled by Apostolis "Humanfly" and this year we prepared our second demo "1000 Years Cranium Collector". We have changed some line up members, but at this moment we consist of: John Provatos - guitar/vocals, Anna Temberkidi - bass and John Diakakis - drums. 
2.Is ''1000 years...'' your first demo? why did you include only 2 compositions and an intro? do you have any other songs ready and if yes,when do you plan to release them?
    Like I said right above, "1000 Years..." is our second demo and it only contains these 2 compositions and the intro, because those are the only songs that we've managed to complete and rehearse properly. We have some more songs and we think of releasing a debut mini cd in 2005. 
3.The cover artwork is very good,who is the painter of it?how is it connected with your music and songs?the guy that painted it, did he listen your music before drawing the cover?
    Responsible for the artwork is a friend of ours, who used to be a band member in the past, so as you can understand he was the most ideal person for this job. 
4.You didn't include any lyrics in the booklet.So, can you tell us the story behind each song?
    There are no lyrics contained, because what interests me is the music. The lyrics do nothing more than complement the songs. Now, regarding the songs' topics, well they mainly deal with typical death themes likes butcherings, death, pain, blood, etc. 
5.Can you tell us whitch are your most favorite bands and in whitch way they have influenced you? 
    Some of my favorite bands are Motorhead, Slayer, Machine Head, Nile, Nightfall, Deicide, Sarcofago, Ancient Rites, Hate Plow, Six Feet Under. I'd say here that among these bands, Six Feet Under is our basic influence. 
6.The name of the band is quite pessimistic.How did you choose it? what does it mean?
    I think that depending on each bands style, they should have the proper moniker. Dead Human Factory could be no exception. The name doesn't indicate or mean anything that we don't already understand. 
7.The intro of your demo is very good and atmospheric.Do you have plans in the future to create more atmospheric songs or just classic death metal?
    Dead Human Factory is a deathcore band, sometimes more death, other times more core and this is how we're gonna stay. If I ever want to play something different, I'll create a project, like for example 2 years ago that I wanted to play doom/death and I formed the project It is getting dark, with whom we released the demo "Gods Die When The Believers Ceased To Believe Them".
8.A characteristic of your music is that you don't have any fast moments. The 2 songs included in the demo are doomy and mid tempo,why is that?
    I like the mid tempo heavy tracks with edges and groovy rhythms, but this doesn't mean that we won't include any faster parts in our music in the future. We have some things on the "schedule". 
9.What do you want to achieve by releasing this demo? Spread your name amongst the fans or did you release it just for your own pleasure? 
    We really like what we do or else we wouldn't do it in the first place. If we are able to make one person at least headbang with our music, then we follow the right path. Is there a band that doesn't want the support of the metallers? 
10.Have you send the demo to other fanzines and magazines? What kind of feedback did you receive? Was it mainly positive or negative?
    First of all, the demo has some "weaknesses", so based upon that the the reviews we received from magazines, fanzines, webzines, etc are very good! 
11.Have you played any live shows this far?how did you feel the first time you got on stage?
    We've played live 3 times this far, 2 in Athens and one in our hometown, Lavrio. All 3 times the feeling I had was unbelievable, unique and special. It's amazing what I felt being on stage. 
12.Why do you believe people and especially the young ones like to play or listen to a macabre music like death metal is it perhaps that this involvement with death helps us to accept it more easily? tell us your opinion on that issue?
    For me death metal and generally the extreme branch is the music that has won my dedication and attention. It's the music that I like the most, nothing more, nothing less. For the rest of the people (and mainly for the young ones) I can't possibly know. 
13.Now a few words about the title of your demo ''1000 years cranium collector''.What inspired you to name your demo like this? 
    When Andreas brought me the cover artwork, I thought I had to find a title that would express it and not anything irrelevant. So, I came up with this. 
14.Since you like reading books,answer for me this question,whitch book do you like the most and you'd like to write music about and why? 
    My favorite books are Salem's Lot (Stephen King) and Hellraiser (Clive Barker). Hellraiser has influenced me very much and if I've ever had the chance to write music for a book, this would be the one I'd choose!
15.There is also a hidden track on your demo,can you give us more info about it?
    We wanted to put a cover song as a hidden track, something from SEPULTURA (of Max era). So, "Slave..." is a famous song and easy to cover. So we adapted it and made it ours and that's all! 

16.These last lines belong to you,inform the fans here how they can contact you and order your demo.
    First of all, Nick I'd like to thank you and Behind The Veil webzine for giving me the chance to talk for my band. I'd also like to thank all those people that helped and supported us all these (almost) 5 years and of course a big thank you goes to the band's former members, Nia Pappa, Andrea "Whiteulver" Kollaro and Ari Chatzidaki for their valuable contribution. Whoever's interested in obtaining this demo (it costs 5 euros), he/she can get in touch with me at the following address: JOHN PROVATOS, NIKIOY 18, NEAPOLI, 19 500 LAVRIO, GREECE.
