Hell United [Date of interview: June 01, 2008]
Unholy Black / Death metallers from Poland, Hell United", they have just released the new album called Hornokracy, the album contains 10 songs including 3 old songs from the promo stuff "Extra Strength…". Let's get to know with Hell United by V, the vocal & guitar.

First of all, please introduce yourself to Thailand.
V | Hell United: Hell'o, Sorn! We're a Polish band playing since 1997, formerly known as Eclypse. At the break of 2002 and 2003 we released "Applause - Ihvh elohim met", and suspended our activity. Now we're doming back as Hell United to kick everybody's ass with "HornoKracy".

What does you all do aside from 'Hell United' other bands? Wage slave fuckin job? Hobbies?
V | Hell United: Well, for now we can't afford to live off music, so there's other jobs we have to do apart from that. Our jobs give us the assets necessary to start the conquest of the word. All our energy focuses on Hell United. We used to take part in various different Project but now we're strictly into Hell United. Only our bass player cooperates with other bands e.g. Neolith.

Finally you guys backed after suspended the band "Eclypse" around four years and return with new band name "Hell United", why you choose this band name? Just like you wanna tell the metalheads around the world like "We back from hell again!"
V | Hell United: Exactly. The name is symbolic, because it conveys the ways the first original line-up Got together to record new staff. Unfortunately, there's been some changes recently, but we're sure that's the optimum as far as our squad members are concerned. We're back from the abyss of nothingness and we are ready to conquer this planet with our inner force!

Talk about your new album, what's the meaning of "HornoKracy"?
V | Hell United: This record is sole purpose is to strike the Innocent souls and rip them to pieces! Ha, ha. Honestly, "HornoKracy" is more direct than any of our previous releases, both musically and lyrically. We decided to focus on explicit expression, merciless for the listener. As for the meaning of "HornoKracy", I must admit that the lyrics are but a tool for communication and I don't intend to comment on them. It's up to the listener. It's meant to be subjective and personal.

Can you explain the musick in the album "HornoKracy", how's the different between the music in the band name Eclypse and Hell United?

V | Hell United: Basically, there's no big difference between what we did back then and now. It's the name that's got all you need to know about the music if you want to take it in. The same people are responsible for the New Staff. We hale evolved, of course, and we're sure you can hear it In our music. What's more, we're also improved technically, which Has implications on both-the message and the Power. To sum up, Hell United is like another stage of evolution after Eclypse had lost its former state and retransformed into something completely different.

About the new album, describe a few of your favorite songs and their compositions, key elements fans should listen for...
V | Hell United: You know, it's sort of difficult to look objectively at what you've recorded and listened to hundreds of times while recording HornoKracy". Nevertheless, each track has its own individual character which makes you remember all the bits and pieces. This question is not an easy one, really.

What do you think about 'Black metal' and Satanism? And you and member of the band believed in that or not? Please show your opinion.
V | Hell United: It's a very delicate issue and I wouldn't like to address since it refers to very individual beliefs and creeds. Anyway, we know something about it, ha, ha!

What is 'Hell United' 's plans? Touring Soon? Where and with who?
V | Hell United: For now we're planning to gig locally, In Poland and we'll see what comes next. Some festivals and a bigger tour perhaps… Hard to say. We're hoping to go on a global hellish crusade to crush all those who make up for the ramparts of our opposition.

If metalheads who read this interview and interest to your stuff, how can they do?
V | Hell United: The record is available from Lilith Productions at http://www.lilithprod.com/, and it will hurt to visit our MySpace website as well: http://www.myspace.com/hellunited.

Well, that's all at the end of interview, wanna say something to Metalthai readers...go ahead.
V | Hell United: Thanks for the talk, Sorn. And here's our message to everybody - lift your horns up high, preach his sacrilegious pride!!
