DISGRACE

BANDINFO:
"DISGRACE was founded some time in the late 20th century and is still telling everybody to piss off. Admist the acne- and masturbation-filled teen years the musical inspiration was sucked more or less from Heavy Metal, thus the first recordings of the band - in the early 90tees - were considered as pure murder, Death Metal-roll, which gave us friends and bad reputation." - Mr Koski, 25 years, drummer of DISGRACE since 1988.

"For some reasons, the guitarist´s egos collided and it took a couple of years of frustration and line-up-changes to get to the point...todays line-up is dated back to our second album (Superhuman Dome ´96) and it´s been a solid cornerstone for the sonic landscape we create nowadays." - Mr. Selonen, 26 years, bassplayer of DISGRACE since 1989.

"Yeah...it´s been two years since the release of the last record and it´s about time for some new action. The musical output has been shaped more and more towards real fucken rock music. Well, It seems to be evitable that even we might get old one day, ´cos there´s no way we´re gonna make songs with 1000 riffs...the less parts we fit in a song, less work & stress it causes. We´ve tried somehow to maintain the fake young aggression on this release, although sometimes it feels like some fucking DANNY (Finnish show-biz tiger - a lame version of TOM JONES) has more balls & energy than we do. The main reason for us doing this shit is to maintain the possibility of making new records and get more gigs, big money, fame and booze." - Mr. Sanaksenaho, 26 years, guitarplayer of DISGRACE since 1994.

"Disgrace celebrates it´s tenth (!) anniversary by playing a shitload of showsin the centralmost venues and gas stations throughout the country in April & May 1998. In late May we take over the rest of the world, which in this case means some hot touring in Scandinavia - Germany - Czech republic - axis. And by the summer we get back home and cause some trouble around the festival-sites." - Mr. Kupias, 21 years, guitarplayer of DISGRACE since 1995.

"Do I wanna send greetings...? What a hell do you mean...? No, bloody no! And you how has read this interview based pamflet all the way through must be either a) committed to your work b) stupid c) bored shitless and/or d) a beginner - in any case we wish you a fuckin´ swell time...I guess I did it anyway... - Mr. Taskinen, 25 years, a mature vocalist of DISGRACE since 1988.

SOME REVIEWS IN ENGLISH, FINNISH AND SWEDISH - MUUTAMA ARVIO ENGLANNIKSI, SUOMEKSI JA RUOTSIKSI

"Bra finsk band med tyngd, lite Helmet stuk om en I mer garage anda.Jävligt tunga gitarrer med Wah Wah och det där lilla extra behövs för att ett band ska bli bra. Sångaren har också en jävligt rå och bra röst. KÖP!" (No Rule #5- fanzine, Sweden)

"(...) anyway, garage freaks will also join the league of addicts who masturbate over D. till their foreskin goes up in the flames this time around" (Join Kao #5, Denmark)

"Aarrrgghhh, voi pojat että jytää! Tämä levy oli kyllä ehdottomasti positiivisin ylläri mikä koskaan on promolevyn muodossa luukusta tippunut. Monihan tietääkin bändin metalli menneisyyden ja siinä uskossa itsekin olin tähän levyyn saakka, mutta nythämDisgrace on tehnyt ns. xysmat ja työstää vallan vakuuttavia rockjyriä. Suoremmin ja raaemmin kuin mainittu ja sekös meikäläiselle sopii, Xysmassa häiritsivätkin ajoittaiset eksymiset sivupoluille. Disgrace ei paljoa hengähdysteukoja suo, päätä lyödään seinään koko 35 minuutin ajan,laulaja on bru-taa-li ja kun bändi on vieläpä keikkatilanteessa loistava niin eiköhän meillä tässä liene yksi Suomen kovimmista orkestereista. Huh,huh!" (Katoamispiste #7, Suomi)
