1. How did you find Metal music?
Bestial Desekrator : Hails! Usually I searching underground metal musics at labels, bandcamp and some YouTube. But I don't like download mp3, flac files!!!
2. You told me there is no scene in South Korea, it is totally true? I mean there is no any band in history? It should have started at some point…
Bestial Desekrator : Yes very a few underground bands but in my opinion dosen't have underground metal scene. Some bands started 1980, 1990 era such as Heavy Metal, Thrash, Death, Black Metal. Recently some Brutal Death, Deathcore, Modern Thrash... is in activity but I don't have interest that kind of music especially trendy music!!!
3. In the past you got a label, something related to Khaos, and even you release some Peruvian stuff. What comments about this label era?
Bestial Desekrator : Yes I did run a small underground label and closed since 2013. I liked Peruvian bands so released CD. I remember really not interested my release in South Korean metalheads but rather Europe, North America, South America metalheads supported my stuffs. They're bought stuffs and really liked music.
4. Then later I knew you were already in Thailand? How did you decide to be there? In what it was good related to Metal issues?
Bestial Desekrator : Really not! Still I live in South Korea but I go Thailand often. Thailand have good underground bands. I recommend these bands "Surrender Of Divinity, Zygoatsis, Macaroni, Smallpox Aroma, Oldskull, Reincarnated, Lotus Of Darkness, Shamble, Savage Deity..." and Thailand have a lot of metal shows, a lot of metalheads... It's better than South Korea to my mind.
5. Regarding Nocturnal Damnation, how this started? How it was the evolution of the band? What is the current status?
Bestial Desekrator : I started 2010 with Spanish guy until first album. Originally I wanted play bestial black metal similar Blasphemy, Black Witchery, Proclamation, Tetanblood, Revenge, Sarcofago... In 2015 Thailand members joined the band and we playing war/bestial black metal until now!!!!! Currently we have new songs for second full-length album and preparing bass, drum record. Also planning some live rituals in 2025.
6. Would you say, Asian or South Korean myths and spirituality, helps or inspire you at some point, to develop Metal lyrics? Comment something about myths in South Korea, and also how it feeds the darkness in your soul!
Bestial Desekrator : Actually I written all lyrics about Satanism, Ritual, Sex Magick... Yeah I think Asian or South Korean myths and spirituality helps and develop lyrics. Traditionally believe folk religion and native religion(including shamanism) since ancient times in South Korea. This is from Gojoseon, The Epoch of the three Kingdoms, Koryo Dynasty, Chosun Dynasty, Japanese Occupation to modern world. Korean myths mixed with Buddhism, No religion... it's totally different story with Greek, Roman myths. To tell you a funny story here... god become a human being in Korean myth. For example Dangun(legendary founding father of Gojoseon) is govern of all human and after become a mounntain spirit, Jumong(first king of the Goguryeo) is gone up to heavenly world without dead body. Usually I always darkness to be strongly influenced by satanic/occult movies and books, black/death metal...
7. Death Worship has been practiced in every ancient culture, what can you comment about this about Asian countries? We know for example that funeral rites with vultures high in the mountains. I know some places in Indonesia (maybe) the people still live with their mummies, and sometimes I watched that in Filipinas (maybe) the family of the dead devour the cadaveric remains in honor of the dead. What kind of other acts happen there?
Bestial Desekrator : Actually I heard you mentions about Death Worship but still not read many books yet. I think it's related shamanism so still remains Death Worship. In Korea isn't much about that but still remains roots of shamanism so have a lot of shaman.
8. So, what are the concepts you have towards death? Does there in Asia some darkness unseen that covers the entire culture, then we have some weird practices?
Bestial Desekrator: towards death? hmm... I hadn't really thought that far. This is philosophical issue and I don't know what to tell you.
9. We know we have been invaded by digital formats and the internet in general since time ago, and at some point all of these were finally accepted, but... what about composing with AI? Do you think this source could be finally accepted? All of this would be real? Do we fucking turn in robots or what?!
Bestial Desekrator : Well, present era is AI. Everything changing now. But we don't like compose music with AI because digital and playing musical instrument by human being totally diifferent feeling. So if every music make digital AI with robots, can't make feeling playing musical instrument by human being.
10. Final comments and final info!
Bestial Desekrator : Thanks for the interview with us. We're focus on second full-length album with live rituals. Stay tuned all bestial black metal maniacs!!! Support Underground!! Fuck Off Trendy Shit!!!!
