So, what's up in Sweden? No more soccer? Pete of Maze of Torment mailed me , he spit on his TV when Sweden was kicked out by the islandaps. Any shit , you wanna get rid of?

Just a regular day in Sweden. Soccer! Who the fuck gives a shit about sports!

Kaamos, what does the name mean ? I can´t find the word anywhere.

Kaamos is a Finnish word that refers to a period of Darkness. A phenomenon that occurs during the winter time.

OK. Comming to your album . You didn´t choose a name . Any reasons?

Yes there are reasons and the biggest one being that we couldn't come up with a suiting name for the album. But also it is classic to have a self titled debut.

What I see as "the red line " through the album , is this unbeliveble brutality .Is this the Kaamos "musical target " to reach the maximum brutality ? Any other intensions?

Ehh. I don't consider us being brutal so I of course wouldn't say that brutality is a main target for us. We're not brutal like for example Cannibal Corpse but we have aggression and a sort of dark mystique surrounding the band which gives our musick a certain feel you know. Our main goal is to create great DEATH metal.

The album was recorded in the Sub Sonic Studio. We dont know anything else from the studio.Can you tell us about other releases from the Sub Sonic and Stefan Olsson ? About the sound , I guess you are satisfied !?

The most known act besides us to have recorded in Sub Sonic I guess would be Repugnant. They recorded their first demo there. We are pleased with our recording but there are always things one can improve. The main thing for us was to capture the spirit of the ancient glory days when death metal was just that. I think we succeded.

My gay friend Marcus told me, that he let me hear your demo "Curse of Aeons " some time ago. He said I didn't like it. I dont remember, but I think he´s a liar. I mean he´s a fucking pussy, he´s got all Cradle CDs. Do you belive him (Ha, remember who`ve heard it first! - Marcus)?

Haha. I'd say if Marcus heard it first then you're the pussy.

If there is one thing I usualy try to avoid , than it´s comparing bands with other bands. It´s sometimes unfair and it marks expactationes . But I can´t fuckin´ help it guys , whenever I listen to your album , the sound and a little bit of the riffing reminds me of Incubus --- Beyond the Unknown Do you agree?

Nope I do not agree. This is even the first time that we have been compared to just Incubus. I liked Beyond the Unknown. But now it is ages since I last heard it. So not a clear memory of what it sounded like. But they are quite more thrash oriented than we, or am I wrong?

Definate your music by yourself !

Darker Death Metal.

Where do you see your most important influences ?

In the dark, satanic, and occult sphere of Death and Black Metal when it comes to musick. As for lyricks they find much food in the aforementioned spheres as well. But have an emphasis on Typhonian Magick, alkhemy etc.

Kaamos now is part of the swedish underground for several jears . How did it come to the contract with Candelight in the end ? Are you satisfied with the work so far?

Candlelight offered us a contract when we already were discussing with a couple of labels and they simply had genuine interest in co-operating with us. And thus far we don't have anything to complain about.

As far as I know you had several offers of different labels before. But Kaamos choose to do another demo instead of signig a deal . So what were the reasons to kick some asses instead of recording a complete album ?

The deals that had been offered at that time were more or less shit deals from labels with a dubious character. And we are not flattered by labels that think that we can or will adjust to their idea of how a band like Kaamos should be perceived. Thus instead of just signing a contract with the first label that offered a deal we decided to do it our way and record a demo.

Both, Marcus and I have given Kaamos 10 of 10 points in the review (now you can see how much you knocked us). About the others of the Carnage I dont know yet .But I guess Kaamos will score between the first five. How is the reaction of other mags ?

Since the album has more or less just been released we haven't received that much reactions to really build an idea. But thus far it has been very solid comments and reviews, based on them that we have received.

Comming to your lyrics??? The print of the stuff sucks that much, it would take weeks to encrypt them. Don't pee at my boots now, but I´m too fucking lazy for that. Tell us about the lyrics by yourself. Any message Kaamos wants to spread?

The print is exactly as we wanted it. Perhaps you need glasses. I am not interested in talking about the lyricks because I believe that their suggestive force works better without explanation. And no there isn't any message that we wish to spread. We are not preachers.

My absolute favorit track on the album is " Doom of Men " This damn motherfucker causes goosepumms all over my body . FUCKFUCKFUCK. Outstanding!!!!! Do you have an absulut fave ?

No not really. They tend to change as time passes but I do prefer the new tracks that are on the album and that because I have played the other tracks for a couple of years now.

What about the intro to "Doom Of Men"? What is this supposed to be? An Agent selling an insurance ? Uwe is looking for a new dildo? (Marcus) A gay monk on his morningprey? The swedish coach in the coaching-zone?

The intro was an idea that was spawned rather spontainesly. And has its main purpose in blasphemy. I can reveal that it is in arabic tounge.

Do you have any tourplans yet ? Is Candlelight able to pack Kaamos into a package?

Nope no touring plans thus far. But I certainly believe that Candlelight has the ability to send us on tour. So we'll have to wait and see.

Hi, Marcus here. What do you think about this ass- licking, dildo-dipping freak called Uwe?

Rather childish, and probably drunk (Before we continue, I have!! to remind ,it´s Marcus with the Backstreet-Cradle-Collection! - Uwe)

OK. Lets´s continue. I see it as a big problem that labels overfloat us with "death metal shit ".

Every fucking wanker get´s a deal on some pussy-money-sucking-pimp-labels. In the end killercombos have to suffer under this situation. Do you agree? And if yes, is Kaamos already suffering? I am familiar with the idea you just mentioned. I'd say that labels many time search for bands that are easily turned into something else when just signed. But then again there needs to be bands that co-operate with that idea. So I'd rather blame the bands than the labels. Cause it is a known fact that there always has and always will be labels that search for some quick bucks, and bands that wish to aid them. Just ignore the bands and they disappear.

On the bandfoto one of you guys doesen´t show his face. I dont know who Trouble? On the run? Massmurder searched by the police? Ha?

Nope, but the sun was rather bright and we were hungover.

What is planed for the future? I know it´s early for the question, but what will the next Kaamos CD bring us?

The future holds Darkness and Heresy. Too soon to speak about a second album.
