HMT: Infernal Hails CB! Thank you for granting us the opportunity to interview you! It seems that the history of the band is a mystery, with little information on the internet. Would it be possible to enlighten us and our readers about the history of Hammergoat?
War haillz, comrade!
The unholy war has begun...and there´s no place for mercy!
HAMMERGOAT - the goat hammer chainsaw was born during the southern autumn of 2009. Although this sounds like a young musical project, all members were involved in old Brazilian bands like Evil, Dethroned Christ and Ravendark´s Monarchal Canticle. During southern winter of 2009 the first reh- demo was recorded and titled “Goat Hammer Chainsaw” .This demo was released under the banner of Pure Evil Prods. and it´s limited to 100 copies only! In August of 2009,Hammergoat recorded and released the debut album “Regeneration Through Depopulation” via Hammer Of Damnation.
The Sons of Bestial Holocaust are:
C.B. - Armageddon roaring skulls and proclamator of evil spells
L.C. - the four blades of demonic vengeance and hellish warfire
F.S - the six disharmonic choirs of annihilation and mayhem
Shortly after the band’s first demo output, Goat Hammer Chainsaw, the band’s debut full length, Regeneration Through Depopulation… was released this year, with another split released shortly after that. How have the response been towards the band’s output so far?
C.B. – We are very proud about the response….Because this is just one project without some compromises/goals! HAMMERGOAT were just created to destroy the lies and reveal our anger…
The audience absorbed this posture and supports our art.
Regeneration Through Depopulation… was also recently released on tape, which included 3 rehearsal tracks in addition to the songs already on the album. What was it that made the band decide to release it on tape as well? Will fans expect to see perhaps a vinyl version soon?
Tapes are the essence of the true underground! All of us have a huge fanaticism at this format….The three bonus hymns be an attractive to the listeners…They reveal us acting at the rehearsal sessions and playing new sounds.
Our debut in the vinyl format is a good/killer dream….Those who read this intie and wants to cooperate, just ask….
What do you think is the reason behind tapes and vinyl making a comeback?
I don´t think in one comeback of these formats…They always be here, but in the really underground bands / listeners….I have a lot of materials in these formats and they are the really essence of extreme/obscure metal.
Regeneration Through Depopulation… captures the war metal mood extremely well, especially with the raw production quality. What was the recording process like?
This is the way what we want: Raw as War metal needs to be! We don´t have a lot of rituals to prepare the record sessions. The drums/Guitars are recorded alive and the Bass/Vocals we recorded after….
On the track, Chaos, the band uses background sounds that remind listeners of wartime to add to the mood and atmosphere of the song. How did that concept and idea come about?
The band is labeled as WAR METAL and my lyrics deals about this and other topics as human suffering…I like a lot these intros, to increase the material quality and create an obscure atmosphere…I think this is one of the best ways to show what the thermo WAR METAL really means.
The album also contained a Sarcófago cover, The Black Vomit. Besides Sarcófago, what are some of the band’s biggest musical and lyrical influences?
We always follow the creators: Bathory / Poison / Hellhammer …
The Unholy Trinity split was also released this year, shortly after the release of Regeneration Through Depopulation…. How did the choice of bands on the split come about?
This were a common choice….All the bands in this release have members of HAMMERGOAT! So, this was a great opportunity to show to those who don´t still know us the hymns.
The split contained 2 rehearsal tracks from Hammergoat as well. Was it written before or after the recording of Regeneration Through Depopulation…?
They were created after the Debut release and will be at a future material split from us…
It was also mentioned that the studio recorded versions will be released on a later split that was announced earlier this year, with Morbid Goat Fornicator and Heathen/Lifecode. How is the progress of the split coming along?
This split was cancelled! Now, we are preparing the hymns (three) for a split cd with: Tundra and Detonator 666 to be released through Hammer of Damnation recs...
CB, you play both drums and handle vocals as well for the band, in addition to LC. How do you handle when it comes to live performances, and what are some of your practice routines?
I, at first, create the drum lines and when it be ok, put the vocal lines in the rehearsal sessions….I always prefer to rehearse at this sequence of events, because when we be able to record, it come faster and easier.
It seems that Hammergoat does not really perform live. What is the reason behind this, and can fans look forward to any upcoming performances anytime soon?
We really don´t like to play live so much…A lot of shitty promoters, bad equipments/trips, etc. We prefer to create killer hymns at the rehearsals and release some of them.
Being one of the first Brazilian bands that we interview, we are curious what the extreme metal scene is like over there. Would it be possible to give us an insight?
We are outside of what really happens in Brazilian underground! Here we have a lot of great individuals who create killer things as: bands / distributors / zines, etc. We don´t know that here exists a scene, but rare persons who fights for maintain the shame burning!
We have come to the end of the interview, thank you for taking the time off to answer our questions! We wish Hammergoat all the best in your future endeavours! \m/
Thanks a lot for interest and support! Those who are interested in HAMMERGOAT, feel free to ask….
