Humanity Delete (Rogga Johansson) "Werewolves In The Iron Sky" @ Death Metal/Grindcore Inbox x

HUMANITY DELETE was initially formed in 2003, and a demo was recorded but never released. Intsead Ribspreader took the time, and Humanity Delete was put on ice for many years. In 2012 there was an idea to resurrect the band, and finally release the demo recordings. However instead of putting out just the old stuff, an full album was written and released called „Neverending Nightmares“. A few more years passed and time again smiled on the ugly heap that was Humanity Delete, and slowly, or rather very quickly, an album was again spawned forth. This time even uglier and more aggressive than ever before, Fuck Forever World was the second effort with a lot of good reviews, 2018 set a Split old school death metal with Helenic Carnal Garden now third offer to the chaos gods are here Werewolves In The Iron Sky have 9 bullets of hateful death metal.

1.What is the name of your band and how did you come up with it?
What is your name and what do you do for the band?

Humanity Delete, and I think the name came about sometime in the early years of the 2000s. I think actually its partly derived from a The project hate title, wich I then chnaged around a bit haha. I do pretty much everything in the band, besdies the solos.

2.Tell us where you are based and describe the scene. How do you think where you are located influences your sound.

Sweden, and I know you pretty much know the scene here haha. And I also think you can hear in our music wehere we are from aswell.

3.Who influences your sound that would surprise people?

Besides death metal in general, stuff like Lair of the minotaur certainly had its ways into our sound and writing I think.

4.Are you endorsed by musical companies , if so who , and if not who would you like to be endorsed by?

I play Serpent King Guitars, the brand built by Henri Sattler, awesome guitars and I have three of them, the Stratus6 model.

5.When you started what was your ultimate goal? And how close to the goal are you now?

Just to make some music, and Im doing just that right now too haha.

6.In today's digital environment it takes creative strategy to keep things moving. What creative ideas do you have to keep your band relevant over time?

Oh I dont know really, I mostly leave that to the labels, and we try to ofcorpse get our music onto some digital platforms aswell as physical format. We cant do much more really, as we dont play live with this band.

7.We've all seen a terrible live band that is awesome on CD. Is that cool with you or do you lose respect for bands that cannot pull it off live?

Well I certainly dont like it when bands use forty channels when they record an album and then go out to play live as a trio haha, but I dont know really, Im not much into checking out bands live personally but instead prefer their recorded works, so bands can do as they please I think.
 

8.Tell us your “core” are you Metal , Rock , Punk , Pop etc because people just have to categorize these days you know?

I grew up with classical heavy metal, so I guess thats where I come from as a kid, stuff like Accept and still today my fave band is Iron Maiden.

9.This is a tough question but a very real reality, Is your band actually talented or just popular?
Many bands make it with a cliche or publicity stunts etc. Would you accept fame even if it was just because of being the “ in” thing or is it actually important to you that you gain favor with talent?

Haha, well i dont care for stuff like that, I just do music for fun, as its what I love to do. People who play music to get rich or famous, I think they maybe should jhave chosen another business haha.

10.Tell us what to expect from you live. Nothing is more boring than watching bands stare at the floor and bob their heads to music nobody but the band knows. What can your band offer in a live setting that people will remember?

As I mentioned a bit above, we dont play live with Humanity Delete, its a studio band only. we write and record material, and thats our thing, play live we do with other bands we play in.

11. What releases have you put out , When will we see something new?

A bunch of them haha, easy to find too i guess. The new album will be out right about now also, called WEREWOLVES IN THE IRON SKY.

12. If you have videos where can we see them?

If we had them, theyd be on youtube!

13.Everybody has Bandcamp , ReverbNation , Soundcloud , etc
Why do you think this is so important? Doesn't it seem like everyone is giving everything out for free?

Yeah but thats like it it, people want stuff for free all the time, no one wants to pay for stuff naymore haha. And so physical sales are less, and you gotta get your music out anways, so thats why i guess, these online places are important these days.

14.Best moment of your career so far?
 
Fuck knows man, maybe playing Party San or some full clubs throughout Europe, its always fun with a good gig and a pakced place with hundreds or thousands of people enjoying what you do.

15.Your message to the fans?

Buy the music haha.

Bonus Question who do you bring back


Dime , Cliff , Dio , Lemmy , Randy

As hes one of my absoulte fave vocalists, Id say Dio
