On the rack: Max from Hearse 

Wretched sinner, tell us about your latest deeds of evil and spite, ‘Single Ticket to Paradise’!

Max: Well, to be honest I’m pretty fed up with that album already. Guess I always live in the future when it comes to my music. Single ticket to Paradise is old and now I’m going for album no. 6. But what the heck! It’s a pretty cool album if you ask me. Not the best yet, but still pretty cool! You’ll also get a live DVD recorded in Holland that makes the whole album pretty valuable if you ask me! So go get it! MP3’s are silly! Plastic is da shit!

You fiend! You intend to tour the world with this devilish noise, don't you?!

Max: Tour the world, ha ha! With Hearse, ha ha! Well, personally I’d sure like to gig a lot more than we do but as long as this band consist of the members it does right now I don’t really see that happen. We’ve played Germany, Holland and Belgium so far. And now finally, after 9 years of existence, we just played in Sweden for the first time. Kind of about time, huh!? 

I reckon you have many ungodly stories from your sinful tours. You might as well give us the worst story since we're preparing to fry you anyway!

Max: Ok, you’d like to hear about heroine overdoses, wrecked hotel rooms and hot women, right!? Hmmm...No heroine no wrecked...godammit, no hotel rooms at all! Women? Well, that’s strange! Here we come, a bunch of extremely good looking Swedes and... Well, no women either!

Oh, you are indeed a wretch! If we had not caught you, what would you and your cohordes have done now? Recorded even more of your fiendish rattling?

Max: Guess you saved me from watching a bad movie or some other important activity, he he! But sure, recording some more stuff is a good idea. Actually already have most stuff finished for next album. Tend to sit around and record stuff all the time nowadays. Guess I have to start some other bands too to put all the songs into.

Damnations! You are beyond redemption. Name the five musical pieces that you want to bring with you when we send you to hell!

Max: Only five!? That’s not easy!

Venom – At War with Satan
Faith No More – Angeldust
Napalm Death – From enslavement to...
Alice in Chains – Dirt
Discharge – Hear nothing...

...and like a million more. If you ask me tomorrow I’ll most likely come up with 5 other albums.  

Thanx a lot for the support! Sorry it took some time to answer the interview!
