Martin Schulman: Hails!! The making & release of “Death Infernal” is so far the highlight.
La Baza Gatului: Three of the members of the band come from Centinex. What does Demonical possess that Centinex lacked?
Martin Schulman: The old-school vibe, stonehard determination and burning dedication.
La Baza Gatului: During your career, have you ever felt frustrated or disappointed to the verge of abandoning the metal scene and starting doing something else?
Martin Schulman: No, never. Of course, sometimes things piss you of or make you disappointed, but never so much that it makes you think of quitting.
La Baza Gatului: If we would meet in a record store and I had money to buy only one CD, how would you convince me to buy your latest album?
Martin Schulman: First I would get you drunk and shitfaced, then it would be an easy task.
La Baza Gatului: What are, in your opinion, the strongest points of your latest studio album, Death Infernal?
Martin Schulman: Everything. The whole package, the riffs, the tracks, the sound, the whole shit!
La Baza Gatului: If you would be a journalist, how would you rate it (on a scale from 0 to 10) and why?
Martin Schulman: I would give it a 10 of course. Why? *Cos it deserves it way more than some gay and shitty sing-along “metal albums”.
La Baza Gatului: What can you tell me about the lyrical concept of your latest studio album?
Martin Schulman: We worship darkness, death, war and fire so I think you understand what the lyrics are all about…
La Baza Gatului: How about your collaboration with my fellow citizen, Costin Chioreanu? Is he an easy guy to work with? Tell me more about the video you filmed together.
Martin Schulman: Costin is THE man! I have been in touch with him since 2004 or something, from the Centinex times, during the years he has done tons of covers, posters, designs, adds etc for all the bands I have been involved in.
We did a video for one of the tracks from the previous “Hellsworn” album and that clip was edited by Costin (we had filmed everything ourselves, live clips etc.) so from there the idea came that he should do the entire shit for one of the new tracks. Costin and his friend came to Stockholm in April and we recorded the “Ravenous” clip at various places around the Swedish capital, the video turned out fucking awesome and we are utterly satisfied. Btw, Costin has also done the entire cover & booklet design for the latest album.
La Baza Gatului: What is your opinion about the actual metal scene in general and the Swedish one in special?
Martin Schulman: What should I say… I think in order for me to answer this you have to define the word “scene”. There are good and true persons, followers, supporters, individuals and comrades (no matter if they play in a band, run a label or arrange shows) but there are about one thousand times more morons and posers. Worldwide.
La Baza Gatului: Do you manage to make a living out of music or have to keep a job apart from that?
Martin Schulman: We do have other jobs, sometimes, that pays our bills.
La Baza Gatului: What was the highest point of your career and what was the lowest?
Martin Schulman: Highest, so far, is the release of “Death Infernal”. Lowest? Don’t know really….
La Baza Gatului: Do you feel accomplished both as a musician and as a human being?
Martin Schulman: No. If I would I could shoot myself as then there would be no reason for me to stay here anymore.
La Baza Gatului: What about your future plans?
Martin Schulman: Touring and spreading the madness and propaganda.
La Baza Gatului: Is there any question you would have liked me to ask you and I haven’t? If yes, please answer that question.
Martin Schulman: When will you play in Romania? In November this year, as part of our East-European tour.
La Baza Gatului: Thanks a lot for your time. The final words are yours.
Martin Schulman: Thanx for your support. See you in hell!!
