SELBSTMORD SERVICES RECORDS

When I think to Selbstmord immediatly the Terror Propaganda masterpiece come to my mind, then Forgotten Tomb, Shining started there and Kvarforth is the label mastermind, a person that how we will hear from those words, don't fear to expose his ideals and ideas going against every moral form of our "normalized society", the message behind this label is unveiled in this very extreme discussion that I had with Kvarforth, after all I've undertsand that we're facing something alienated from the common sense of the metal scene, that so many time is only another enjoyment products, here there's not any smile,
just a a monumenatl grey vision...a war against humanity and its vain hopes

Selbstmord Services was born in 1998 and we have since then been working on pushing our message forth in all possible and impossible ways. We started under the monicker of solid productions and released a few vinyls back then with Bethlehem and Shining, later when we grew into what we are today we started releasing albums by Joyless, Craft, Forgotten Tomb, Ondskapt, Leviathan, Shining, Krohm and such, not much more really

Your band use to stay away from the media attention, do you believe that to be the right way to find the right concentration to create dark music?

no not really, our mission is to spread it as wide as possible, therefore we despite working with bands who wish to remain in the back-ground, though with a few exceptions as there actually are a few Selbstmord artists who behave with such manners though presenting something utterly unique musically which kind of compensate it in the end really... sometimes we cant resist signing certain artists, beneficial or not...

A trademark of your label is surely the depressive, melancholic, sick and suicidal atmosphere of band like Craft, Forgotten Tomb...are you planning to divulgate a mortal injection to out decayed world?

Tell me about Ondskapt...their attitude and music, notwithstanding some similarities with the others, seem to have a slightly different black approach and concept behind....

Ondskapt are the only religious band on the label, there isn't much that i can say about their ideologies as I myself am not a part of the band therefore i suggest you buy their album and find out by yourself as it is clearly stated in the booklet of the coming debut cd, though remember that it will for sure not be an pleasant journey...

I don’t know almost anything about Leviathan and an album is about to be released, what’s the strong point of the band...

here we have one of these bands who are basically worthless when it comes to our purpose, though their music caught my attention in an real horrible way thus the band had to be signed. leviathan may be compared with the elder Norwegian acts though with an perfect individualistic sound. -far beyond the light- is released any day now.

Krohm, an American band, is sound unusual to me that from that country a so extreme music is preformed, how you came in touch with them?

I accidentally heard Numinas demo when I was visiting an allie of mine a year ago or so and i was amazed by the negative atmosphere this artists had managed to capture with his recording. you'll be hearing much from Krohm in the future, he is here to make some real damaging noise that's for sure!

A word about Joyless, in the past well known to the underground crowd for the incredible Forgotten Woods black darkness....Are they still active and what do you think of they carier?

well, we split ways with joyless a while back because of different views upon things here and there, though it is a great band indeed, and for my personal taste I must say that joyless does appeal far more than what Olavs earlier band forgotten woods ever managed to do... -wisdom and arrogance- will forever be remembered as one of selbstmord services milestones... it has been sold-out since ages though is being re-issue as we speak!

Is it simple to have a “normal” label responsibility dealing with artists that haven’t the same winning triumphant attitude of the metal scene…or how your communication usually are?

I have great communication with all our bands, I have to know them, otherwise I wouldn’t know about their personalities you know which would be fucking foolish and the entire mission would fail as I probably after some time would start releasing albums by life-glorifying hippies thus, Selbstmord services would become as just any other crap-label around, and no, I wouldn't allow that!

You say that Selbstmord isn’t Black Metal bale"explain this"Do you think that the annihilation of every human hope haven’t borders?

hmm, tell me this: is black metal really that negative? of course not when the entire scene consist of fucking humanists, music wise we could release anything that is beneficial for the cause, we have no limitations... all that matters are anti-human values and an fixation for the negative aspects of life and all beyond...

Why you say that "supporting the label and our artists, you also support the death of yourself " ‘cause I’ve always made a distinction between elite and masses, Isn’t better to express your as a campaign against the weak that aren’t able to do a grey insight?

fuck elite! the entire ideology of our label is glorification of all that is negative, there are no fucking exceptions, we are the scum of the earth, and nature is the scum of our universe, all must be neglected... considering yourself and your friends as being "above" all because you sit in your fucking rehearsal place with spikes and bulletbelts all day long doesn't make a fucking difference! all that is "wrong" must be glorified and in the end you must end yourself as well, you are not worthy living, nothing is! life disgust me, air disgust me, fuck it all!

Some of your artists use to practice self-mutilation, what do you think about that, is it a way to fight against the human physical position or to express the hatred against the life itself...or something else?
It is a way to oppose life and positivity, as said, you aren't an exception yourself. you are living and that is what has to be turned around. cant you fucking people get it???

What do you think of a personality like Dead?
Now why should i care? it was a good thing that he killed himself, that’s basically all I have to say, unfortunately he didn't kill others before which is bad...

Shining are passed to Avantgarde music, a respected Italian label, what do you think of that move?
They help us expand and that’s one of the main reasons we choose this alliance.

What do you think of a very impressing act like Dolorian, have you ever thought to sign them?
yes, as a matter of fact I have, but they belong to Roberto...

Future plans, what’s about Zavorash and Sykdom?
Zavorash are about to record an album this coming summer, it will be awful! we have also signed a new band called bloodline, a truly depraved band indeed, i hope their album will insult all you fuckers out there...
Sykdom... well, don’t know really. pay a visit to our website and support the cause!
