I liked the review of the Male Compliments cassette and its very decriptive words. What label was this Cassette released on? The interviews are all a very nice read too and add interesting insight.

Yea, and Issue 2 when I stop being lazy I will do so. I had both Zines on my old computer but it crashed and I had to get a new one so now I have to re-scan Issue 2 and find someone to scan Issue 1 for me since I sold all of them.

Talking of swastikas, there's one Finnish label who put BU and XE hoodies on pre-order. Not sure if they did it finland exclusively? Haven't seen ads here. But if I see someone actually wearing that XE hoodie, in public, in some major city, with no underground live event or UG friendly bar type of environment, I'll buy him a beer and say cheers.
Most likely it's good conversation opener, but can be also more, heh!

Most of your interviews have been great but that Hakaristi was absolutely pointless! :)
Title: Re: Official Pure Stench Thread (Interviews, Reviews, Art.)
Post by: RyanWreck on May 25, 2011, 09:38:59 PM
Hah, I agree. I was kind of expecting that one day an interview would eventually go like that one did, and Hakaristi seems like just the band to do it. The next 2 interviews will make up for that, they should be a lot longer and detailed.
Title: Re: Official Pure Stench Thread (Interviews, Reviews, Art.)
Post by: Andrew McIntosh on May 26, 2011, 02:40:11 AM
It's an occupational risk. You're faced with the dilemma of deciding should the interview be included for the sake of pure interest or should it be rejected because it's just not good enough? Ryan made the right choice, though - better to include it and let it speak for itself. I'm sure the language barrier had a lot to do with it, and the truth is some people just don't give good interviews. For the most part, most people want to get their ideas across, so there's usually no worries.

Post by: Niko on February 05, 2012, 03:19:09 PM
Real zine would of course be nice be but I have nothing against it, if Pure Stench would continue only in the realms of internet.
It isn't really any different than for example reading long posting by some artist in this forum?
Or maybe I have already gotten used to it, since I actually got an lots of scanned old Industrial/Noise/Metal zines in my hardrive downloaded from the intenet? Haha.
Title: Re: Official Pure Stench Thread (Interviews, Reviews, Art.)
Post by: krumbledkookie on February 05, 2012, 03:25:18 PM
I'm sure a lot of people would love to see a Pure Stench printed zine, but it's just not as easy as "please consider..."

It costs money and takes time to compile, arrange, and print such things.

I have no issue with the internet form right now, and don't imagine I would in the future. The website allows more people to read the interviews and other content anyway.

Well, I hate reading long posts on forums also. Nevertheless, issue of printed zine is quite different since zines are, after all, also documents of their time. I would not bet on that any blogspot based stuff can be found after 10...20 years. But yes, I have done zines by myself and I know it is not that easy (not that hard either, though!). Certainly I also see a webzine better than no zine at all.

Clark linked to the site I will use to sell the "Dedicated To The Duc" series. It won't be so much like the Pure Stench because it will focus more on very specific scenes. "DTTD 1: Hooligan Electronics" is pretty self-explanatory and...

Some confusion: I went to the site and clicked on the "Hooligan Electronics" link and in the description it says "Dedicated to the Duc Issue #2..." So is it actually issue #1 like you mentioned here, or was #1 already released and sold out?

I know I am very late for the guy who asked for the Hakaristi interview, but for everyone else who wanted to read the Hakaristi interview but did not get a chance to before it was taken down, here it is:

QuoteHAKARISTI INTERVIEW
[ PURESTENCH ]: Hakaristi is a fairly new band, yet I have a feeling
that this isn't the first material that some of the members have
written. Is this a one man project or a group? In either case, what
member(s) form Hakaristi have been in different bands/groups/units
before (or during) Hakaristi?


Hakaristi#1: It is two man band. My only band so far.
Hakaristi#2: same here

[ PURESTENCH ]: When listening to the cassette I get the feeling that
certain part were recorded at very different times, maybe months apart
due to their sound, style of playing and production. Was this the
case?


Hakaristi#1: These songs were recorded over few months in Winter.
Constantly evolving and changing. Message important, "style of playing
and production" NOT!
Hakaristi#2:SIEG HEIL!

[ PURESTENCH ]: Hakaristi means "Swastika" in Finnish, if I am not
mistaken. Are you guys from Finland? And why did you choose to name
the band Swastika? Are there any deep political messages within the
lyrics?

Hakaristi#1: Suomi and surrounding area. Swastika ist life circle of
north people. Hakaristi lyrics is anti-human, anti-christ, anti-life,
anti-anti!
Hakaristi#2:That surrounding area goes as far as ENGLAND

[ PURESTENCH ]: I asked Silent Abuse the same question - Why do you
think Finland , of all places, has a sudden influx of harsh and
chaotic bands, from Power Electronics to Black Metal?


Hakaristi#1: Coldness, alchohol and insanity! Harshness sounds right
to the ears here!
Hakaristi#2:Aye.

[ PURESTENCH ]: During the 90's there was a large demand on the
underground from violent and harsh Noisecore and Black Metal bands.
After some time this seemed to die down. Since then, how much (or how
little) has the demand for these styles changed in the recent years?


Hakaristi#1: Not sure, too much of a new comer scum!
Hakaristi#2:

[ PURESTENCH ]: What do you believe the appeal for this music stems
from? In both playing it and listening to it? How were you (guys?)
introduced to Black Metal and Noise?


Hakaristi#1: Harsh sounds for harsh times. People are seeking more
real music with real message than simple auto-tune polished turd.
Introduced through friends to this sound and no looking back!
Hakaristi#2:ANAL CUNT, BLASPHEMY & BEHERIT

[ PURESTENCH ]: What are some of Hakaristi's main influences? Not just
musically, but also from books, art and movies?


Hakaristi#1: Aunt Mary, Archgoat, White Power Rock, PE, His Dark
Master, Esoteric Roots Of Nazism etc...
Hakaristi#2: I do not like AM. I would say VENOM & SKREWDRIVER.

[ PURESTENCH ]: Has Hakaristi ever played a live show? If not, why?

Hakaristi#1: Not yet, soon we hope if we can find place will have us!
Hakaristi#2:

[ PURESTENCH ]: Any thing we should be looking forward to in the near future?

Hakaristi#1: Hope new recordings out this year after success of last
demo. Tapes and perhaps vinyl!
Hakaristi#2:

[ PURESTENCH ]: I apologize for such a short interview, I'm completely
low on time. Thank you for doing it though. And if there is anything
else you would like to add or say, here is the spot to do it.....


Hakaristi#1: HAIL DEMENTED SWASTIKA!
Hakaristi#2: HAIL THE MIGHTY SWASTIKA!


tagged for easy searching: hakaristiinterview



I should be posting the Anti-Social Realism interview later today as well. I will update this thread when I do. It is one of my favorite interviews that I have done so far.
Title: Re: Official Pure Stench Thread (Interviews, Reviews, Art.)
Post by: RyanWreck on May 16, 2012, 10:40:47 PM
ANTI-SOCIAL REALISM INTERVIEW All 3 artists are interviewed; Mikko Aspa, Pasi and Jukka Siikala. This is definitely my longest and most engaging interview to date, and it is also my favorite. - http://purestench.blogspot.com/2012/05/interview-anti-social-realism-mikko.html

Pasi's section is fairly short but that wasn't something I wanted, I changed it under request of the artists who were answering the questions. His section was just as long as Mikko's at the start of this thing but eventually became shortened significantly.

(I'm working on the layout just a bit still so ignore the little spots where the text might split into what should be another paragraph or an extra space.)

Feels like I'm starting to repeat myself but thanks again for the review. I'm clad you liked it and hope that others did too. Hopefully I'm able to release something new somewhere next year now that I'm no longer under the pressure of any obligation.

It's been awhile. Now that my internship and schooling is done until July I have more time to put into the blog and my forums. I will try and make up for lost time, make sure you keep me in your bookmarks:

Hal Hutchinson Interview - You all know his work. One of the best acoustics, metal/junk playboys in the modern Noise/Industrial landscape. - http://purestench.blogspot.com/2013/04/interview-hal-hutchinson.html

Diazepam Label Interview - Italian label that has released quite a slew of different, unique styles; twisted old styled post-mortem to psych-avant drones, definitely a must watch. - http://purestench.blogspot.com/2013/02/feb2013.html

Glad you're back. I lurk at PS but haven't posted I don't think. Glad it's around now that Troniks is shutting down for sure.

Diazepam really releases some top notch stuff. There's no limit to what will be released on that label. It's all weird that I've heard.

Troniks is actually shutting down for good? I gave up looking at it a while ago as there were too many morons on there that would de-rail a lot of threads. I hope the people that camp out on the Misc section don't come on here or on Pure Stench.

Pure Stench is dead! Well, that's being dramatic, it's dead-ish. I never did like that name "Pure Stench", and it makes no sense ever since I decided to stop the Funeral Stench blog. It barely made sense even then. Anyway, the name has changed, it's being moved and the blog format is replaced with a far superior traditional website format. This way you can just click on the "Interviews" or "Reviews" tabs easily go to the speicifc interview. The interviews are still housed at the old purestench blog as of right now but that will change soon. Reviews will all be new, if you want to read an old review because you're a fucking weirdo than just go the the blogspot and find it. There is all a new section for links to shops/distros and labels. It's still a work in progress but here is the new link to bookmark:  

H.E. Salvo (High Explosive Salvo/Hard Electronics Salvo)
http://hesalvo.weebly.com

Getting questions up for 2 new interviews as well, when they get put up I'll post the info here.

P.S. The stench forums will stay at the same URL, moving forums can be a huge pain in the ass

As Andrew pointed out both URL's are under maintenance, I have to migrate the old forum over to the new .com URL as to not lose anything so it will appear to be down for about the next 24-48 hours. The DNS and name servers are all up and running ( http://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=stenchforums.com ) so it will be good to go when I finish the user and thread migration.


edit - http://purestench.freeforums.org is up right now

Post by: RyanWreck on August 14, 2015, 06:22:55 AM
"Tickety boo", that's the first time I've ever heard that phrase, had to look it up. But yes, the http://purestench.freeforums.org url is functioning just fine, I would actually just suggest everyone bookmark that URL since it will always work as it's the root URL for the forum, the others are just short names for ease of use and to make the forums more legit and tickety-boo.

The host is ridiculously bad at their jobs. I waited for a week and nothing happened so I emailed them and said "hey it's still down" and they said "yea we know, we'll get on that tomorrow for you" as if I had to fucking first ask them or else they wouldn't have done it even though they admitted "we know" and I had paid them for that domain, and i paid for 1 year all the way back on June 17th and the forums not even up now in mid August and yet they have it marked as June 17th so technically I am only getting maybe 10 months for the price of 12. Then they sent me this beauty today:

Quote"We've attached the domain to a test board, and it will not work, so there is something wrong with the domain itself. Would you mind picking another name? Or, if you want, I can try the .org version, that one is available, though I'm getting very suspicious of that domain name. I wonder if because the .net is taken, if maybe that's the part that is giving us trouble, so I think I'd feel more comfortable if you picked something else."

What a joke.

So it is going to be (hopefully!) http://stenchforums.org

FUCK

Talking of swastikas, there's one Finnish label who put BU and XE hoodies on pre-order. Not sure if they did it finland exclusively? Haven't seen ads here. But if I see someone actually wearing that XE hoodie, in public, in some major city, with no underground live event or UG friendly bar type of environment, I'll buy him a beer and say cheers.
Most likely it's good conversation opener, but can be also more, heh!
You own me a one, as soon as i get the hoodie

you owe me a beer as well!
I wear the xe tshirt in oxford to some degree of dislikeand lots of frowns. the only direct approach was from a german guy who thought the whole thing too far.

Hey guys, the forums did indeed die I am sorry to say. An immediate family member passed away after being in a coma for too long this past spring so the last thing on my mind was music and the forums. I regret that, and sincerely hope that I didn't cause any problems with people who were using the forums specifically for exchanging/trading/selling. Hindsight tells me I should have simply handed the board off to Vragh but I didn't think about it at the time. A shame since the entirety of the forums is purged and backups only have like a 30 day grace period after a missed payment before being wiped.

In any case, HESalvo (http://HESalvo.weebly.com) is still up (I am aware that it not much of a consolation) but I am planning on becoming involved with my interviews again and will be posting here regularly. I missed out on some good stuff it looks like that I need to catch up with.

Sorry about the mess.

I was secretly hoping that he was actually an undercover FBI agent attempting to go deep in the underground noise/BM scene to uncover a hidden pedophile ring, hardcrush community, racist/terrorist organisation or some other highly illegal going-ons that this music was really a front for, hence the setting up of his own forum, the interview blog and the numerous references he made to hacking, the deep web, dubious porn etc. I figured that after a few years of potential honey trapping that he finally realised that we're all just a bunch of fantasists and he'd been told to direct his operation elsewhere and disappear without any further communication. Well, the thought amused me at least...

I wonder if that has ever actually occurred with anyone here? Well, not the whole FBI thing, but someone being monitored simply because of being involved with stuff that may come across as extremely fringe and with dubious, problematic legalities.

My "health problems" (opiate addiction is what I assume you were referring to?) is non-existent right now, I got clean a quite a while ago but people, especially around here, tend to not spotlight any thing unless it's negative. And my grapevine does precede me.

Is our mutual acquaintance a female perhaps?
