MM:Firstly, Thanks for making the time to talk to us!
Killjoy: It's my pleasure, thanks for your support of all things dead, morbid, and unearthly!

MM:Everybody knows you from NECROPHAGIA and THE RAVENOUS, but maybe not from your other side projects (VIKING CROWN, EIBON, AMICUSS, ENOCH, HELLPIG, and WURDULAK). Can you just give us a brief description them? Killjoy: Viking Crown - Very raw, lo-fi black metal with depressing/hypnotic interludes, totally unorthodox and definitely not for everyone. Eibon - Black metal with a rock and roll edge not overly complex catchy kinda like Celtic frost and Venom with Motorhead mixed in Amicuss - Violent black metal Enoch - Not metal by any stretch of the imagination total horror with elements of Goblin John Carpenter, Fabio Frizi and Jerry Goldsmith Hellpig - Raw obnoxious heavy music mixing grindcore, punk, doom, with influences like Butthole surfers, plasmatics, napalm death Wurdulak - Old school black metal like bathory old darkthrone, old mayhem with hints of destruction and Sodom type thrash at times. Although I should say that Wurdulak is not a side project but a full time band

MM:On the topic of side projects again, is there anything in the works which is totally different from what you are doing now?
Killjoy: I'm always doing something. I can't sit still ha ha. Im working on a project called Wendigo and another band called morgue wagon I'm not sure when or if the material will be finished but it keeps me in a good creative frame of mind

MM:I think that you must be one of the busiest guys in metal, with Baphomet Records, Starrgod (His DVD Company) and doing your book, do you still have time to just sit back, grab a beer and watch horror videos?
Killjoy: Life gets very hectic for me, but I guessing a weird way that’s what I need to stay motivated Id like to have more time off but I have to exorcise these musical demons first. then I can relax at least for a bit before I start working on my debut feature film that will be called "Harvest Ritual"

MM:Tell us a bit more about your book and DVD Company?
Killjoy: My book will be called "Horror, Gore, and Exploitation: Cinema Extreme". I just basically have to update it a bit and add reviews of some newer films. Generally the book is a review guide for tons of obscure, rare and hideous gems, films like messiah of evil, let's scare Jessica to Death, At Midnight I'll take Your Soul, etc. My DVD Company is called StarrGod we're currently working on acquiring the rights to a few films and hope to have our first release out in 2003. We want to release titles that are truly the kind of stuff we want to see. Each disc will be loaded with extras I also have another company called diabolikal images We are doing a series of resin model statues based on movies like Cannibal Holocaust, The Beyond, Coffin Joe, Cannibal Ferox etc. You can check out samples on the Necrophagia website

MM:On the topic of Horror, im a big fan of zombies and my latest purchases are Vincent Dawn's "Zombie Creeping Flesh" (There's a great scene at the end, when the lead woman is trapped in a room of zombies, when suddenly a hand just forces its way up into her mouth and pushes her eyes out), and Lucio Fulci's "The New York Ripper". Have you seen either of these and what do you think is the greatest Horror Film of all Time? Killjoy: I definitely know both films very well. Im a devout Fulci disciple so NY Ripper has been played countless times before my bleeding eyes! Hmmm the greatest horror film of all time? That’s a really tough one. I can't just pick one, The Exorcist is really as good as it gets, also, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Don't be Afraid of the Dark, Blood Splattered Bride, The Beyond, Death Dream, Beyond the Darkness, The Uninvited, Curse of the Demon, This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse. The list is endless. RoseMary's baby, I Drink Your Blood. I can't pick a favorite it's really impossible

MM:Have you ever thought of writing or appearing in your own Horror Film?
Killjoy: I'll do both when Harvest Ritual starts production next year. You can definitely expect a lot of horrific images, blasphemy, gore, and genuine creappiness. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be working with an F/X team called Flesh and Fantasy they just won the Gemini Award for best make up! It's gonna be terrifying! Trust Me!

MM:What are your top five gore albums?
Killjoy: I don't listen to much gore metal. But the best bands are Carcass, Gorelord and Impaled. Beyond that I guess Im not qualified to answer

MM:Thanks for the interview! Any final comments!
Killjoy: Thanks again for your support! Hope to see you on tour after we release "The Divine Art of Torture". Definitely our heaviest darkest and most horror filled release ever! FULCI LIVES! GORE FOREVER! http://www.necrophagia.com
