Very good to do another interview
WITH THE LONG FLIGHT AND TIGHT SCHEDULE (THE BAND WAS PLAYING BACK-TO-BACK EVERY NIGHT), WAS IT WORTH IT TO SET YOUR FOOT HERE IN SOUTH EAST ASIA ?
Absolutely 100%. The flight was long but very rewarding to us. We were able to bring our brad of metal to that part of the world and I will never forget the great metallists we met along the way.
IT WAS A SHORT TOUR AND ONLY COVERED 3 SOUTH EAST ASIA COUNTRIES (THAILAND/SINGAPORE/MALAYSIA). WILL YOU COME BACK AND DO A MORE EXTENDED ONE NEXT TIME ?
If time permits of course we will. Our time was so short there and we hardly got to see much of South East Asia. So the next time it should be much longer.
THE BEST PART WAS THOUGH YOU GUYS APPEARED TIRED AFTER THE SHOW, BUT STILL ATTENDED TO THE NUMEROUS REQUEST FROM THE CROWDS WITH IMMENSE KINDNESS (PHOTO TAKING, SIGNING OF POSTER/RECORDS ETC) ...
Thank you very much. We all are still very surprised at some peoples response to the band so if there is ever a time to talk or sign something all of us are ready to do that. It is part of living the life and I want to take it all in.
LET START WITH THE SHOW IN THAILAND. HOW'S THE THAILAND METAL MANIACS CELEBRATED NUNSLAUGHTER ON STAGE ? THEY WERE PROBABLY THE WILDEST CROWDS HERE IN SOUTH EAST ASIA, DON'T YOU THINK SO ?
Our first show in this part of the world, and the people of Thailand did not disappoint. Once we got the barbed wire off the stage everyone was able to enjoy the pit and stage diving. We had one minor equipment malfunction but after that, the show was extraordinary. So many photos and autographs I would have loved to stay longer.

WE HEARD THAT 'AFTER THE SHOW' PARTY IN SINGAPORE WENT EXTREMELY WELL. SO, DO YOU MANAGED TO MEET UP WITH ALL THOSE KILLER INDIVIDUALS/BANDS THERE ?
That was one of the best times I have ever had on tour. Out host KHALID was an excellent host. We had a chalet by the ocean and he had prepared meat and fish for an army. Along with tons of beer we stayed up until almost sunrise. About 30 or more people showed up and I was able to sit and talk with some people that I have been friends with for a long time.

NUNSLAUGHTER DEFINITELY PUT OUT A KILLER SHOW IN MALAYSIA (JOHOR) DESPITE THE SMALLER VENUE AND TURNOUT ...
The location was great. It is always nice to see people making metal happen where you would not think it can. The venue was rough and visceral but that is how we like it. The show took a bit to get going but when it did, look out. We were so close to our hotel and we got done with the show early, so we hung out and had many beers.

HOW WAS THE SHOW IN BORNEO (SABAH) BY THE WAY ? THEY BROUGHT IN BELLIGERENT INTENT (AUST) AND RELEASED A COMPILATION TAPE - 'DESECRATION OVER SABAHELLS' TO HONOUR NUNSLAUGHTER ...
One HELL of a show was put on. We were overwhelmed at the crowd and the response by people. A totally professional venue and mobs of metallist. BELLIGERENT INTENT was excellent and I hope to meet up with them in Australia at some point. The tape was a nice surprise and I wish more people did things like a special tape release for the show. In addition to the great night, we had an excellent time being shown around the island and seeing the beaches. A fitting end to a short but awesome tour.
DO YOU MANAGED TO CHECK OUT THOSE LOCAL ACTS THAT SHARED THE STAGE WITH NUNSLAUGHTER DURING THE TOUR ?
I did but only for a little bit. We were busy meeting and hanging out with people. I did manage to pick up a few CDs and tapes while there but I lost the package. I will return at some point where I can spend more time listening to the metal of the land
ARE THERE ENOUGH AUDIO OR VIDEO RECORDINGS THAT WOULD PROBABLY GIVE US LIVE 7'EP OR DVD PERHAPS ?
You can look for a 7' in the near future but I do not think there is enough for a DVD. If someone out there has DVD footage please send it to me.
(Hopefully to see "Raid The Convent" and "Smell The Burning Churches" from the Johor-Malaysia show on that 7' - ed)
HOW YOU BEST DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE DOING 'HELLBANGERS SOUTH EAST ASIA TOUR' ?
It is tough to explain but from where I come from I never expected to see the wealth of cultures that touring has given me. I am always humbled but going so far away from home and having meeting and making friends that I would have never had the chance to do in my home town. I hope to come again for a much longer time.
WHERE ARE YOU HEADING FOR THE NEXT TOUR BY THE WAY ?
We are currently working on a tour of Australia. Nothing is set in stone but I think it may happen.
'HELLS UNHOLY FIRE' HAS BEEN RE-RELEASED BY HELLS HEADBANGERS RECORDS (HHR) WHICH WAS BRILLIANT ! DO YOU SEE NUNSLAUGHTER WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CHASE & HHR MOVING FORWARD ?
Thanks for the compliment on 'Hells Unholy Fire'. Yes, at this time I do not see why we would not work with Hells Headbangers Records. We have an excellent relationship with them and they treat us well.

HAS THE NEW ALBUM RECORDED ? ANTHING ELSE ON THE WAY ?
We just finished writing the new LP. We are looking to have it recorded by the end of the year. There are no titles for the songs or LP yet but we tend to work fast. We also have a few new split 7's coming out. So there is always plenty of NUNSLAUGHTER metal to go around.
As usual, thanks again DON OF THE DEAD for the time. So Aussie metalheads outhere, beware, HELL is coming your way. Hope to see war metal brothers DESTRUKTOR and DENOUNCEMENT PYRE on the same stage when NUNSLAUGHTER tour Australia.
