I cannot tell you anything about this band because I do not have
their demo nor anything else of them. I only read an interview
with Linus Angramainyo in which he explained some of his unusual
and exteremly interesting views that impressed me a lot so that I
did this interview with him.
4 - 1994

1. Please tell me why you are imprisoned right now and when you will be out again!
-Some little geeks didn't understand that they ssould mind their
own business and ran to the police and said that i had cut someone
in the throat. Unfortunately I was unable to prove my innocence
and I was sentenced to four years for attempted murder. If I be-
have well I might be released after two years, in June 1995.

2. You must have a lot of free-time now... What do you do the whole day?
-Monday to Friday we have to work for eight hours every day so we
don't have as much free-time as you thought. I don't do very much
at all as there's not very much to do here. I read books, watch
TV, hang aroung with other psychos and stuff. I can't say I write
much music and stuff, there's really no inspiration for that here.

3. What do you think of the other prisoners? Do you have many friends? Do you think that someone is at the right place in prison?
-I have a couple of good friends here and I know a lot of people.
I also have a couple of enemies which doesn't bother me very much
though. Some people really belong here, others, like me, are much
better off outside the walls.

4. Your View upon satanism differs much from the average Black Metal-musician. Wat's a true satanist like in your opinion?
-There are several opinions and beliefs regarding satanism, I
don't put very much energy in thinking about it anymore. Every-
body should be true to himself. I used to be a satanist and at
that time that was I really did believe in, now I don't. At least
I can admit to myself that I've changed. As for te "evil" sata-
ism that the Norwegians seem to be into... there is no possibility
that such "evil" could exist for real in a human being, it's just
an urge to impress other people that make these people try to be
so evil. By the way, I'm not a Black Metal-musician, I like to see
AZHUBHAM HAANI as a Death Metal-band. We aren't satanists.

5. Do you see satanism as a real religion with a god?
-As I said there are different opinions, none is more right than
any other, everybody's allowed to have his own opinions. I don't
think that anyone looks at satanism as a religion, the few who do
arem't even sure of what it is that they are worshipping.

6. When will tere be an end of the Black Metal-wave?
-That doesn't matter very much to me. It'll end in a couple of
years in the same way as the Death Metal-trend faded away. The new
Black Metal-bands are already getting more and more uninteresting.

7. What's the Swedish Black Metal-scene like compared to the Norwegian?
-It's the same in the hole world, new uninteresting bands popping
up like mushrooms everywere. Norway is to the new trend what Swe-
den was to the old, BURZUM and DARK THRONE are Norway's answer to
ENTOMBED and DISMEMBER.

8. What do you think of the present Black Metal-circles in Norway//Germany/etc.?
-I read something in a newspaper about some German kids murdering
a class-mate because he had treatened to tell someone about their
satanic sect. I guess that says a lot about these "circles".
They're just a bunch of kids playing around with their satanism
and when they really take action they are much too stupid to get
away with it- (No comment on this misunderstanding caused by the
lying press! - RN)

9. Do you think satanic brotheroods limit the liberty of the followers?
-All sorts of fraternities and brotherhoods, political parties or
whatever have rules. Whenever there are rules there are limits.
Not very complicated.

10. What do you think of the heathenish removement?
-I guess it's a reaction towards immigrand ald all the foreign
influences on the culture of the European countries. I think it's
important that we embrace what is ours to have something to
identify ourselves with. In my eyes Nationalism and racism are
healthy signs of live. Although the connection might not be very
obvious there is a strong link between the pagan movement and the
new rise of nazism in Europe. It's all a product of the fall of
the communist regimes.

11. The music of DE VERMIS MYSTERIIS has often been compared with ABRUPTUM. Don't you think that it is just noise that is no more music?
-I can't really understand what's the similar between DE VERMIS MYSTE-
RIIS and ABRUPTUM. Some people have also compared DE VERMIS MYSTE-
RIIS to NECROMANTIA which I think is more correct although the mu-
sic isn't the same. I think the atmosphere on the DE VERMIS MYSTE-
RIIS-split demo (with AZHUBHAM HAANI) is a bit similar to NECRO-
MANTIA. As for ABRUPTUM, their second demo and their "Evil"-ep are
quite okay but the rest of the stuff is just boring. I really
don't care if it is music or not, as long as someone thinks it's a
pleasure to listen to it it's worth recording. Don't foregt to buy
the DE VERMIS MYSTERIIS-cd if it's ever released.

12. Which band is more important to you, DE VERMIS MYSTERIIS or AZHUBHAM HAANI? What's the difference between these bands?
-Difference? What are the similarities? AZHUBHAM HAANI is a true
Death Metal-band working to make the best, darkest and most origi-
nal Death Metal-music ever made. DE VERMIS MYSTERIIS is a convul-
sion of bitter feelings being channeled into music and recorded.
There are no songs, no harmonies, no music, no rehearsals, no mu-
sicians, just pure sound/chaos/feelings/sorrow/death.

13. Do you like the categorization of Metal-music?
-If there's a band you haven't heard it's usually a good
indication of interest if you know if it's a band playing Pop or
Death Metal. All thist trendy Dark Metal, War Metal, Battle Metal,
Evil Metal etc. is just stupid though. I guess these bands think
it's original to find an own label for their music although it
could be easily sorted into Black or Death Metal. I guess their
msuic isn't enough to draw attention so they need something else
to be inte-resting. Stupid.

14. Last Words...
-Sex and drugs and Rock'n'Roll, litterally speaking of cause. The
adress is: AZHUBHAM HAANI
Solvarvet 18
74050 Alunda
Sweden.
Don't write if you don't have anything interesting to come up
with. If you're interested in the music of AZHUBHAM HAANI and my
former band DYSENTERY order a tape with DYSENTERY's "Black Fucking
Metal"-demo 1992, AZHUBHAM HAANI's "Total Evil"-split part 1992
and "On a Snowy Winter Night"-demo 1992. It costs $6 and it's de-
finately worth the money. I don't send free copies to beggars and
zine-editors. There are no wholesale prices, anyone can copy this
tape as much as e wants to but if you want a good copy send me
the six US bucks. Please write "Tripple demo" somewhere on the
envelope so that I can sort them out from all the other letters.
That's it for now. Hail!
