“WE’RE STILL AN UNDERGROUND BAND.”
Krisiun drummer Max Kolesne shoots down any suggestion that the Brazilian trio have become more commercial in recent years. Speaking to the UK’s Zero Tolerance magazine, Kolesne said, “I don’t care about this kind of bullshit…People have been saying that since Conquerors Of Armageddon, but to me it’s ridiculous. How can music like this be commercial? I don’t get it. We’re always trying to progress as a band, to write better and more interesting music. It’s always Krisiun and we’re much faster now compared to the old albums…We’re still an underground band and we still play some pretty small places, but everywhere we go there are diehards. It makes us really happy and gives us the strength to keep going.”
Of new album Southern Storm, the artillery general says: “Every new album, we’re trying to be recognised as Krisiun so people can hear a song and tell you who they’re listening to. When I looked back on AssasiNation, I was thinking about what I was gonna play on the new album, and I tried to cut out some of the bullshit that I thought was unnecessary…We try to become tighter with every album, and the songs are more solid and straight to the point.”
Continuing a Brazilian cover theme, the new issue of Zero Tolerance also features interviews with Max Cavalera, Andreas Kisser and thrash-devotees Violator. Elsewhere there are rare interviews with neo-folk elder statesmen Changes and dark industrial / power electronics veterans The Grey Wolves, not to mention insights from Cult Of Luna, Aborted, Melvins, The Rotted, The Gates Of Slumber, Waylander and many more.
And if that isn’t enough, every copy comes with the obligatory free covermount CD, the blackest of humour and a mass of special features you’d be hard pressed to find any other extreme music magazine daring enough to cover.
“…how many bands can claim an out of tune record? It was an embarrassment thing that actually worked out for the best.” – which musical mastermind let that one slip? Find out in issue 024 of Zero Tolerance Magazine. ON SALE NOW!
