[HAEMORRHAGE]

GERSTE: AT FIRST PLEASE INTRODUCE YOUR BAND TO OUR READERS AND DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND.
LUISMA: SCHIZOPHRENIC GORE GRIND FOR SICK PEOPLE.

G: ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR CURRENT OUTPUT "MORGUE SWEET HOME"? IN MY OPINION IT`S EVEN BETTER THAN YOUR LAST ALBUM.
L: YES, I AGREE WITH YOU THAT IT SOUNDS BETTER AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE WHOLE ALBUM IT`S REALLY BETTER TOO, ALTHOUGHT I PERSONALLY THINK THERE WERE SOME SONGS ON "ANATOMICAL INFERNO"
THAT ARE CLASSICS FOR THE BAND AS "NECROTIC GARBAGE", "ENSHROUDED IN PUTRILAGE" AND "I`M A PATHOLOGIST" TO NAME A FEW... WE ALWAYS PLAY THEM LIVE. BUT GOING BACK TO THE NEW ALBUM IT`S GETTING A REALLY GOOD RESPONSE FROM PEOPLE AND WE ARE TOTALLY SATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCTION AND THE SONGWRITING.

G: HOW DID YOU LIKE THE TOUR TOGETHER WITH CRYPTOPSY, PROFANITY AND SPAWN? I SAW YOU LIVE IN ZWICKAU. IT WAS A GREAT GIG BUT I MISSED ANA ON STAGE. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER?
L: SHE HAD A NEW JOB IN SPAIN, SO SHE HAD NOT GOT VACATION DAYS ENOUGH TO DO THE WHOLE TOUR SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER FOR HER TO JOIN THE TOUR IN BARCELONA (SPAIN), SO SHE MISSED THE FIRST DATES ON THE TOUR. FOR ME IT WAS A LITTLE PROBLEM, BECAUSE I SHOULD TRY TO DO THE WORK OF TWO GUITARS AND THE BACKING VOCALS WHEN SHE IS NOT ON THE STAGE SO I WAS WISHING SHE CAME TO THE TOUR.

G: DID YOU EVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH CENSORSHIP BECAUSE OF YOUR LYRICS OR RECORD ARTWORKS AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CENSORSHIP IN GENERAL?
L: WE JUST HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH OUR FIRST ALBUM COVER, THAT WAS CENSORED IN 1995. THAT WAS A THING THAT I REALLY HATED, `CAUSE TOO MANY BANDS WERE LOOKING FOR OFFENSIVE COVERS TO BE CENSORED AND THAT WAS LIKE JOINING A TREND. I PERSONALLY THINK OUR FIRST ALBUM COVER IS ART, NOT A SICK THING. SO I DON´T LIKE CENSORSHIP AT ALL, BUT I ALSO HATE THE BANDS THAT USE THAT TO GET POPULARITY.

G: PLEASE LIST YOUR OFFICIAL DISCOGRAPHY TO DATE.
L: "EMETIC CULT"-CD ´95, "GRUME"-CD `97, "ANATOMICAL INFERNO"-CD ´98, "LOATHESONGS"-MCD `00, "SCALPEL, SCISSORS AND OTHER FORENSIC INSTRUMENTS"-CD `00, HAEMORRHAGE/DEPRESSION SPLIT-CD `02, "MORGUE
SWEET HOME"-CD `02.

G: IF YOU WERE OFFERED A SPLIT RELEASE WITH A BAND OF YOUR CHOICE, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
L: IMPALED (USA), EXHUMED, SANITY`S DAWN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

G: PLEASE TELL US ABOUT YOUR MUSICAL INFLUENCES AND LIST YOUR TOP 5 RELEASES OF ALL TIME.
L: THE TOP 5 ALBUMS COULB BE: CARCASS-"REEK OF PUTREFACTION"/ TERRORIZER-"WORLD DOWNFALL"/IMPETIGO-"HORROR OF THE ZOMBIES"/ SLAYER-"REIGN IN BLOOD". I LOVE ALSO CARNAGE, (OLD)XYSMA, (OLD)NAPALM DEATH, NECRONY, PUNGENT STENCH, MACABRE, REPULSION,DOOM, DEATH, EXTREME NOISE TERROR, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER, REGURGITATE, ENTOMBED/NIHILIST, ETC...

G: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SPANISH UNDERGROUND SCENE? ARE THERE ANY BANDS/ ZINES/ LABELS YOU`D CARE TO RECOMMEND?
L: THE SPANISH UNDERGROUND CONCERNING TO GRIND MUSIC IS SMALL. THERE ARE SOME GOOD BANDS AS MACHETAZO, REPUGNANCE, DENAK, GRUESOME STUFF RELISH, ETC...

G: HAEMORRHAGE HAS A DEAL WITH THE GERMAN LABEL MORBID RECORDS. ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THEIR WORK?
L: YES, MORBID IS ONE OF THE OLDEST DEATH/GRIND LABELS IN THE WORLD. ONE OF THE FEW THAT NEVER RELEASED TRENDY MUSIC,THEY STAND LOYAL TO THEIR ROOTS AND THEY SUPPORT HAEMORRHAGE A LOT. SO WE ARE SATISFIED WITH THEM.

G: WHAT IS IT YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFES OUTSIDE OF HAEMORRHAGE?
L: NOTHING STRANGE...EATING, BREATHING, SHITTING, ETC... THE MOST IMPORTANT IS HAEMORRHAGE. HE,HE...

G: CAN YOU REMEMBER THE BEST/WORST GIG HAEMORRHAGE EVER PLAYED?
L: HMMM...THE BEST ONE WAS AT THE OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC (JULY 2001) FOR THE RAGE WE UNLEASHED ON THE STAGE. THE WORST I REMEMBER NOW WAS IN ZOFINGEN/SWITZERLAND (2002). WE BROKE STRINGS OF THE GUITAR, BASS AND WE HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS ON THE STAGE.

G: HOW DO YOU SEE THE ROLE OF THE INTERNET IN THE UNDERGROUND?
L: IT´S POSITIVE, `CAUSE IT´S EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW A LOT OF MUSIC IN GENERAL AND IT´S ALSO GOOD FOR THE BANDS.

G: PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE HAEMORRHAGE FUTUREPLANS.
L: OUR MOST IMPORTANT PLAN NOW IS TO PLAY AT THE WITH FULL FORCE FESTIVAL (WE WILL BE THE FIRST GRIND BAND EVER) AND THEN WE WANT TO RECORD SOME NEW SONGS AS ADVANCE FOR FUTURE RELEASES.

G: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS INTERVIEW. THIS SPACE IS YOURS.
L: THANK YOU VERY MUCH GERSTE. GOOD LUCK WITH THE ZINE. A BIG HELLO TO ALL OUR GERMAN FANS AND FRIENDS...WE WILL BE THERE SOON...STAY SICK !!!!!!!
