WHY THE DECISION TO GO WITH A 3 PIECE WITH KENTH DOING ALL THE INSTRUMENTS &
YOU & MIA DOING VOCAL DUTIES?
Because we can. That's the way we like to work, K is very picky on how his music should sound & how it has
to be played, so he rather do it all by himself!! And as we live far away from each other we can never rehears
anyway, so this is the best & easiest way.
YOU ALSO PLAY BASS IN ENTOMBED, ARE KENTH PHILIPSON & MIA STOHL IN ANY OTHER
BANDS TOO?
I think Mia is writing some stuff on her own & sings it in the shower & K & me have another band as well, a
proper Doom Metal band ala CANDLEMASS, TROUBLE kinda style.
YOUR MUSIC CONTAINS LOTS OF TECHNO INFLUENCES, PROGRAMMING, KEYBOARDS,
DARK DEATH GROWLS & ENCHANTING ANGELIC VOCALS & MORE. IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT
THE PROJECT HATE IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL METAL ACT. HOW WOULD YOU BEST DESCRIBE
THE PROJECT HATE'S SOUND & STYLE?
Arabian fizzy Black Metal! Or just plain & simple THE PROJECT HATE MCMXCIX kinda music.
HAVE YOU PLAYED MANY SHOWS? WHERE & WITH WHO ARE SOME OF THE MORE
MEMORABLE ONES?
We have only played 2 shows & they were both in Orebro at our release partys, haha... The first one was good,
they say, I can't remember. The second one was ok, they say, I definately don't remember that one.
WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF WORK FOR THE
PROJECT HATE TO OCCUPY YOUR TIME?
Music for other bands, drinking, burning, looting, raping,
shooting, work, study, answering interviews, etc...
ARE YOU INTO ANY OTHER STYLES OF MUSIC
BESIDES WHAT YOU PLAY? WHO ARE SOME OF THE
OTHER BANDS YOUR CURRENTLY INTO?
Bob Marley, DMX, DARK THRONE, ZYKLON, KRISIUN,
RABAELLIUN & more...
WHAT'S THE BEST & WORST THING ABOUT BEING IN A BAND?
Worst is definately not getting paid & being broke all the time. Best thing is everything around creating the music.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE & WHAT YOU WERE DOING WHEN YOU 1ST HEARD
ABOUT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACK ON 9-11-01 IN NEW YORK? ANY THOUGHTS ON
THIS TRAGEDY?
I was on tour with ENTOMBED in London. I was changing strings on my bass & was drinking a beer at the
Underworld. A tragedy is exactly what it is. Of course the ones who did it were religious fundamentalists. Didn't
surprise me at all. I was thinking of all my friends in NY when I heard it & didn't have any phone numbers to any
of them with me on tour. I got scared...
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM PROJECT HATE NEXT?
Another album at some point. No plans yet though.
THANX A LOT FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS INTERVIEW. ANY LAST COMMENTS YOU'D
LIKE TO ADD?
Support the real Metal scene, not the fake ass "Backstreet Boys bands with guitars" scene. Thanx!
