\"\"<\/a>Bangalore-based blackened thrash metal quintet Witchgoat started out early last year, and even though they played their first ever gig in Chennai last year, their ‘real’ debut gig is at this year’s Trendslaughter Fest, set to take place next Sunday at the No Limits Pub in their hometown, alongside\u00a0Singapore\u2019s Blood Division and Indian bands Dying Embrace, Shepherd, Necrodeity and Solar Deity.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Here’s a completely tongue-in-cheek interview I did with them. This is a kind of interview I’ve never done before, so horns up to Witchgoat for giving me something different. I hope you enjoy reading it, and if you dare, check them out on their facebook<\/a><\/strong> and twitter<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0If you\u2019re in India, visit\u00a0Trendslaughter Fest\u2019s facebook landing page<\/a><\/strong> to book your tickets and get all the information you need about the festival.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I saw you perform in Chennai last year. Will we get to see a totally different Witchgoat at the Trendslaughter Fest, both in terms of music and your looks on stage?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course it\u2019s going to be totally fucking different. If we were a panzer tank at Chennai we\u2019re now a fucking nvclear bomb waiting to drop on you pathetic parasites. Ever been shafted by a pack of wolves in heat? Yeah that\u2019s what we sound like now. But with fucking grenades strapped to our hides. And what\u2019s this whole deal with how we look? We look like a chainsaw slicing through your grandmom, that\u2019s what we fucking look like.<\/p>\n

I see that you have stage names now. Who came up with those and how long did that take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nobody fucking came up with them. That\u2019s who we are. What the fuck were you expecting? Peter? George? Subramaniam? Fuck off. Even the assholes at the airport ask \u2018\u2019Is your name really Archon Hellfire?\u2019\u2019\u00a0Well we sure don\u2019t fucking look like anyone else now do we so stamp that passport bitch.<\/p>\n

You also have a kickass new logo now, designed by Sujay Euphras. Have you planned on making any t-shirts and hoodies out of it? I\u2019m pretty sure lots of people would be interested in buying if you make those.<\/strong><\/p>\n

People are interested in buying clothes? Wow what a fucking surprise. Yeah they better buy our shit because we need money to get wasted. We\u2019ll throw in a few stains on the shirts for free too. You can smell that shit at night and finger yourself to sleep. And no we don\u2019t sell hoodies. What the fuck do we look like? Wu Tang Clan?<\/p>\n

The name Witchgoat is brutal and funny at the same time. Whose genius idea was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing funny about it unless you\u2019re visiting the wrong websites you pervert (laughs). It was no one\u2019s idea. It was bestowed upon us by goddess Baphomet to rain our rotten fucking droppings on all you quivering human scum. We didn\u2019t sit around like all the other faggots in other bands and say \u2018\u2019Oh I say doesn\u2019t Fairypony sound like a lovely name?\u2019\u2019 We are WITCHGOAT. Remember that fucking name the next time you lose your soap because we\u2019ve got some spare shrapnel coming your way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you talk about some of your biggest influences and how they\u2019ve inspired you to start this band?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venom, Bathory and Hellhammer. That\u2019s all the fucking influence you need but we take that shit and cram it into a rocket launcher and set the fucking cross hairs on your sorry ass. That\u2019s what we fucking do. Also if anyone wants to be influenced by us they can just meet Arson Monk so he can influence their fucking face with his infernal elbow.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also be doing a cover song for the Mot\u00f6rhead tribute CD soon. How does it feel to be featured on that album, paying tribute to the Gods in Mot\u00f6rhead?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It feels like a warm bath with fucking piranhas. What do you mean how does it feel? If you asked Lemmy that question he\u2019d strangle you with his moustache. We\u2019re doing the cover because we don\u2019t have anything better to do with our fucking lives. Just like all of you assholes.<\/p>\n

You obviously worship the Elder Gods of black thrash metal, but are there any newer or younger bands playing a similar style that have found your approval?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like we give a fuck. Fuck this approval crap. \u2018Hi sir, I play the same music as you sir. Please like my facebook page sir\u2019\u2019. FUCK OFF. We\u2019d rather jizz all over your fucking page, your face and your entire family than pat you on your fucking back. Then we\u2019ll boot you in the fucking face. Why? Because you fucking deserve it.<\/p>\n

After Trendslaughter Fest, can we expect more live rituals from Witchgoat in the near future, or are you going to keep yourselves underground?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Underground? Do we look like fucking turnips? We\u2019ll play when we feel like playing, where we feel like playing. It could be in a garden full of pink fucking flowers for all we care. I\u2019m sure all you fucking turds hang out at places like that. \u2018\u2019ooohh look at me I\u2019m soooo fucking metalllll but I shag plants in my spare time\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

FUCK OFF!!!<\/p>\n
