Disbelief Interview

1.Can you update us with what is going on with Disbelief these days?
OUR NEW ALBUM HEAL WAS CURRENTLY RELEASED, THE REVIEWS AND FAN REACTIONS ARE PRETTY GOOD, SO THE MAIN GOAL IS REACHED, WE DID 2 SHOWS AFTER THE RELEASE AND THE NEW MATERIAL WORKED FANTASTIC AND FITTED PERFECT IN OUR SETLIST.

2. How would you Describe your musical sound?
INTENSE AND EXTREME FORM OF METAL, VERY DEEP EMOTIONAL AND AGGRESSIVE AS WELL , NOTHING TO START A PARTY WITH, BUT PERFECT TO GET RID OF ALL OF YOUR BAD EMOTIONS AND INHALE NEW ENERGY!!

3.What is the meaning behind the band's name?
THERE IS NO MEANING BEHIND IT, 20 YEARS AGO IT WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO REMEMBER AND IT IS VERY GOOD VISUAL EFFECT!! NOWADAYS YOU COULD INTREPRET IT ALOT DIFFERENT, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE THE TRUTH ON WHY IT WAS CHOSEN !

4. WHat are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?
SAME AS OUR SOUND OUR PERFORMANCE IS VERY INTENSE AND ENERGETIC, LIKE IN TRANCE WE ENJOY OUR MUSIC AND WE WANT TO INFECT THE FANS WITH THE VIBES COMING DOWN FROM THE SATAGE ! IT IS DIFFICULT TO PICK OUT SPECIAL SHOWS, WE DID SHOWS WITH SLAYER IN AUSTRIA, THEY WERE AWESOME, BECAUSE OF THE WILD AUDIENCE, SUPPORTING THE GODS OF THRASH AND LETTING A DREAM COME TRUE TO REACH THIS MOMENT !! THIS IS THE POINT OF ALWAYS MAKING A SHOW SO SPECIAL, BUT THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHERS, EVEN IN SMALLER CLUBS WITH LESS PEOPLE, BUT IT WAS LIKE MELTING TOGETHER WITH THE AUDIENCE AND HAVING THE SAME FEELINGS ABOUT THE DISBELIEF MUSIC ! ! THIS CAN HAPPEN ON ANY STAGE IN ANY TOWN !!

5. Do you have any plans to tour the U.S?
FIRST OF ALL WE NEED A LABEL IN THE US TO RELEASE OUR TOPIC ALBUM AND ALSO THE PREVIOUS ONES, SO FAR THERE ARE NO PLANS ! !

6. How would you compare being on Massacre Records to other record labels?
IT IS A SMALL LABEL, BUT A VERY RELIABLE COOPERATION BETWEEN MUSICIANS AND THE LABEL BOSSES : WE ALL WANT THE SAME : MAKING DISBELIEF MORE AND MORE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT TO CHANGE THE TYPICAL TRADEMARKS OF THE BAND ! ! MASSACRE REC. ARE CONVINCED ABOUT THE UNIQUE DISBELIEF-SOUND AND DON"T WANT TO PUSH US IN A MORE COMMERCIAL WAY OF COMPOSING, SO THIS IS PERFECT FOR US TO WORK WITH AND BEEING FREE IN DECISIONS TO BE MADE CONCERNING SONGMATERIAL ! ! BIGGER LABEL MEANS BIGGER EXPECTATIONS CONCERNING RECORD-SALES, IF IT DOES NOT WORK YOU ARE KICKED , EVEN IF YOU ARE A GOOD AND UNIQUE BAND, BUT THIS WOULD NEED ALOT MORE TIME AND PATIENCE TO MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL, NOT EASY BUSINESS !!

7. The new album has a good amount of covers, what made you decide to cover these classic songs?
THESE ARE ALL VERY SPECIAL BANDS, KING DIAMOND AND CRIMSON GLORY WITH THEIR EXTRAORDINARY VOCALISTS AND VERY SPECIAL SONGWRITING, AND KILLING JOKE IS A BAND WHICH FITS PERFECT IN THE DISBELIEF-SOUND< ESPECIALLY THIS SONG WE DID, LOVE LIKE BLOOD ! ! OF COURSE WE ALL HAVE THESE SONGS IN OUR BLOOD, OTHERWISE OUR INTERPRETATION OF THEM WOULD NOT SOUND REAL OR AUTHENTIC , BUT I THINK WE DID A GOOD JOB ! !

8. Out off all the albums that you have put out so far which one are you the most satisfied with?
PROTECTED HELL IS THE ONE , SOUND , SONGWRITING , COVERARTWORK , THE VIDEO WE DID FOR THE SONG A PLACE TO HIDE , EVERYTHING IS STILL SATISFYING ! !

9. How would you describe the lyrical content of the music?
THERE ARE STORIES THAT CAN HAPPEN IN EVERYONE'S LIFE OR ALL READY HAPPENED IN REALITY ! ! MOSTLY THEY ARE EXTREME SITUATIONS DISCRIBED THAT CONTAIN ALOT OF DIFFERENT FEELINGS, ANGER , FEAR , PANIC , EVEN HATE , LOVE , DISSAPOINTMENT , DEPRESSION , BUT ALSO POWER , INNER STRENGTH AND POSITIVE THINKING IN THE END ! ! JUST LIKE IN ALL OUR LIFE IS ABOUT ! !

10. How would you describe your musical progress over the years and what direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
WE WANT TO KEEP OUR MUSIC ALIVE BY NOT THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT THE PREVIOUS RELEASES , JUST PERFORM WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS ! ! SOMETIMES THE FANS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE FACT THAT DISBELIEF DO NOT FOLLOW THE SAME WAY OF SONGWRITING AS ON PREVIOUS ALBUM , BUT IN THIS WAY WE AVOID TO REPEAT OURSELVES AND GET BORING AND PREDICTABLE ! ! IT IS THE MORE HONEST WAY TO TRY SOMETHING AND EXPRESS OUR MUSICAL IDEALS IN A DIFFERENT WAY ! !

11. How have metal fans worldwide reacted to the newer material?
ON MYSPACE WE HAVE ALOT OF COMMENTS FROMOVER THE WORLD; MOST OF THE FANS HAVE"NT EVEN HEARD ABOUT DISBELIEF , BUT THEY ARE DIGGING OUR MUSIC AND GOING CRAZY FOR IT , THIS DOES MAKE US HAPPY AND THINKING POSITIVE FOR THE BANDS FUTURE ! !

12. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and what are you listening to nowadays?
TOO MANY TO MENTION , BUT THE NEW ALBUM HEAL CONTAINS 4 NEW DISBELIEF-SONGS WHICH ARE A TRIBUTE TO THE BANDS SLAYER , DEATH , BOLT THROWER , AND CROWBAR , BUT THERE ARE ALSO NEUROSIS , KORN , DEFTONES , MORBID ANGEL , CLASSIC METAL LIKE ACCEPT , SCORPIONS , JUDAS AND OZZY, PSYCHOTIC WALTZ . . . . ANY EXTREME INDIVIDUAL METAL BAND YOU CAN IMAGINE ! ! BESIDES THIS I NOWADAYS LISTEN TO BANDS LIKE DREDG . PLACEBO , CHIMARIA, HOLLOW CORP , OR CULT OF LUNA , WE ARE OPEN MINDED AND WE LISTEN TO ALOT OF DIFFERENT GENRES ! !

13. WHat are some of your interests outside of music?
NOTHING SPECIAL , I DO HAVE HOBBIES , MEETING FAMILY AND FRIENDS , GOOD FOOD , SOMETIMES DRINKING SOME BEERS , ENJOYING EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE ! !

14. Any final words or thoughts?
PROBABLY DISBELIEF IS NOT THAT COMMON IN THE US , SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW US , VISIT US ON MYSPACE , ENJOY OUR MUSIC AND VIDEOS AND MAKE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT DISBELIEF IS ABOUT ! ! CHEERZ AND THANX FOR YOUR INTEREST,
JOCHEN JOE TRUNK (BASSIST
