joesans1: Are you ready?
WolflordMCS: Hold on a min. Gotta pee
aight?
WolflordMCS: Ok I’m back
joesans1: So, Mike, What's up with the new
look?(For those of you that don't know, Mike is
sporting jet-black hair and he now resembles
Glen Danzing)
WolflordMCS: Ha! Well, the only thing "new"
about it is the hair color itself. Me and the guys in
the band have been wearing black on stage for a
while actually. But usually it's just me. Black has
always been my favorite color. The hair was just
something I wanted to do for a while, so I figured
why not.
joesans1: What are your thoughts on all that
Millennium Madness that took place? Were u
prepared for the end?
WolflordMCS: I spent NYE at my Joseph
Jame's apt. along with Walter and many other
crazies. Put it this way, if the end of the world
came, we were all too Fucked up to really care!
But seriously, I thought for sure there would be
some mass suicides or something, but
NOTHING happened! What a let down. Maybe
NYE 2000....
joesans1: So I guess that party was good then?
WolflordMCS: Yeah it was cool. Good to be
with the band on New Years along with some of
the Shutdown guys and some ladies too.
joesans1: So how is the new record doing? Is it
blazing up the charts?
WolflordMCS: It's doing really good at College
radio actually, like it's #28 on the CMJ Loud
Rock charts(Loud Rock combines Metal, HC,
Crossover etc..). The copies to the zines go out
next week so far the only review I read was in
a Long Island zine that really liked it. We have
been selling a bunch at shows and it's slowly
reaching all the HC distros. It came out on Nov
2nd, so it's still a brand new release. We hope
for the best.
joesans1: Why did you's go with Exit?
WolflordMCS: Well, we were originally going
to go with another label, but we had a meeting
with Artie, Amber and Pavlos (Exit) and we
liked what they had to say. They have done a
great job with Indecision and Silent Majority and
it was an easy choice between them and the
other label. We had sent Exit a tape months
before the meeting but never heard back. It was
then Justin Indecision approached me and
Walter at a show and told us to hold off on going
with anyone until we met with Exit.
joesans1: Other Label? Who would that be?
WolflordMCS: It doesn't matter what the other
label was!!
joesans1: Joe Sansone says you should know
your role and shut your mouth
joesans1: no more running you mouth like that
joesans1: "Individuality not a sheep mentality",
Tell all the jabroni's out there about that quote?
WolflordMCS: I'd have to say that if Inhuman has
one message, that's it. Individuality, not a sheep
mentality. Inhuman is a band that has NEVER
bowed down to trends, kissed ass to play a
show or put on a front to gain fans. In these days
soo many kids are just following what their
friends are saying or doing and our message is
Fuck that , be yourself. It may have been said
before by other bands, but we feel it's important.
More important than "unity" or some crap like
that.
joesans1: I hear ya on that one, brother
WolflordMCS: Yeah
joesans1: Inhuman has gone through many
lineup changes throughout the years but I think
now u guys are settled done with a strong lineup.
Is that the case or should we be expecting any
heel turns from the members soon?
WolflordMCS: Let's see, we have had 3
bassists and 2 guitarists since the formation in
1995. Fogarty is only our second drummer,
thankfully. I feel the same way as you do about
the current line up. But, I would never want
anyone to be in the band against their will, you
know? So, if (God forbid) someone did quit
tomorrow, best of luck to 'em and the search for
the new guy would begin. I love doing this band
either when I hate it or no one cares, only then
will Inhuman call it a day.
joesans1: Joe Sansone says the Hardcore scene
is pretty much dead, do you agree?
WolflordMCS: You really think it's dead huh?
Well so do a lot of people out there these days. I
will say this, it is dying down, but certainly not
dead, per say. The hype and MTVish tendencies
seem to be gone thankfully, but the die-hards will
always remain. I listen to ALOT of other music,
but if I didn't I would have left HC for good a
long time ago. HC needs a good kick in the ass,
that's for sure. Maybe Inhuman can provide it, if
the scene permits. As long as kids complain
about my hair and clothes, fuck maybe the scene
will be dead sooner than we think! At the end of
the day, I do love Hardcore, but I recognize
there is a lot more out there and I wont be young
forever. I don’t want to be 40 years old
screaming on stage about "the scene", but I ain't
done yet.
joesans1: I still enjoy the music and everything
but there is like no more places to play, there
aren't many shows, no more quality bands are
coming out etc....I just remember there used to
be a good show happening every weekend and
now there is basically nothing
WolflordMCS: I agree with you on that one.
Here in Brooklyn, I am pretty thankful that
Lamour has re-opened and the Temple is doing
all ages diy shows. It's soo pathetic that New
York City, HC central, has not ONE place for
Hardcore on a regular basis in the year 2000! I
just wish more kids came out to Brooklyn
shows. Maybe this year will be better. I agree
with you about the newer band s too, not enough
good ones and too many bad Metal bands with
short hair, ha!
joesans1: What do u think about the Lamour's
reopening?
WolflordMCS: Unlike some people, I really do
think it's good for the scene. When a club opens,
it can actually help create a scene. Or it can help
re-launch a stagnant scene like Brooklyn. Ok, it's
not CB's and it's not Coney Island High, but you
gotta get over it . I miss CIH more than anyone,
but the scene goes on. I've already been thrown
out of Lamour for fighting, so I'd say it’s off to a
good start, ha! Hail Brooklyn!
joesans1: Yes, almost every show I went to
there has been some kind of brawl
joesans1: Bringing it back, Lamour's style
WolflordMCS: Sometimes fights are fun!
NYHC shows have been very uneventful over
the past 2 years
joesans1: Why were u thrown out of Lamour's
tough guy? Did u get to lay the smackdown on
anyone?
WolflordMCS: me and my buddy Les got a
little rowdy with these 2 jabroni's and after we
threw our beers at this kid and Les threw him
against the wall, the bouncers had enough! But,
all was fine the following week and the bouncers
were real cool to us.
WolflordMCS: This was in Sept, I believe.
joesans1: Yo man, What was the best show u
saw at Lamour's ?
WolflordMCS: Ok the 3 best Lamour shows
for me ever are:
WolflordMCS: !. SLAYER in 1990's Week In
the Abyss Tour. Right before "Seasons" came
out, Slayer did a week of smaller club shows on
the East Coast. This show was THE most
VIOLENT EVER! Not only was it bad inside,
but outside there was broken glass bottles and
blood everywhere! I kid you not. All of my
friends had at least one fight each that night.
joesans1: is that no 1 or no 3
WolflordMCS: 2. The Last Thrash Bash in May
1991. Lamour closed a good few times over the
years, but this time was really "the end of an era"
you know? Here’s the line up: Type O, Leeway,
White Zombie, Biohazard, Merauder, First
Order, and Cro Mags with Harley And John
Joseph!
WolflordMCS: This was when Biohazard were
decent and White Zombie played with Hardcore
bands all the time..and opened!
WolflordMCS: Here’s the third:
WolflordMCS: Quick one
WolflordMCS: 3. Bad Brains , Leeway and
Biohazard in 1990, nuff said!
joesans1: Inhuman encourages everyone to read
a book...Have you read any good books lately?
WolflordMCS: I just finished reading a Horror
anthology called "Hot Blood X". Great stuff, all
erotic, vampire , serial killer stuff. I also recently
finished a poetry book by Nick Cave, one of my
more recent influences.
joesans1: What is your favorite book of all
time?
WolflordMCS: That’s really hard. Here's a few:
"Interview" by Anne Rice, "American Psycho" by
B.E. Ellis and "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry
Miller. Oh and anything by Andrew Vacchs, the
best crime-fiction around.
WolflordMCS: I read tons of comics too.
joesans1: What comics are you into?
WolflordMCS: Batman, Preacher- everyone
should read that comic, Sandman, Titans,
Daredevil, Faust, Sin City and many different
weird Horror comics. Verotik books too, that’s
Danzig's comic company. I like toys and Horror
films too. I'm a big kid really.
joesans1: Comics and toys are the way to go
WolflordMCS: Absolutely
joesans1: I was down with the comic scene for
a while
joesans1: Until they decided to kill off the
Punisher
WolflordMCS: I never knew that Sansone.
WolflordMCS: Guess what?
joesans1: and then I stopped reading
joesans1: what is that?
WolflordMCS: He's coming back in a few
weeks..The Punisher returns!
joesans1: I know
joesans1: I preordered that series
WolflordMCS: By the men who bring us
Preacher..Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. Should
be amazing!
joesans1: Plus there is a one shot coming out,
what if Punisher kills the marvel universe
WolflordMCS: Go Joe!\
joesans1: see I am down
WolflordMCS: Right again! Joe, I hardly know
ye!
WolflordMCS: You are, you are.
joesans1: My favorites were punisher and
spiderman
joesans1: but for the villains, venom
joesans1: was the man
WolflordMCS: Now all you have to do is grow
some breasts, a vagina and like Danzig and we
can date!
joesans1: there is something wrong with u man
joesans1: carnage kicked ass
joesans1: and basically all the batman villains
rocked
WolflordMCS: It's my sick sense of humor. Its
years of comics, Hardcore, Metal and Horror
films, what a mess.
joesans1: that’s right man
WolflordMCS: I dig the BM villains too. Zsa
Zsa rules!
WolflordMCS: KillerCroc
joesans1: I liked the old school crew
WolflordMCS: Joker etc..
joesans1: penguin, joker, riddler
joesans1: you got it
joesans1: bane rocked the house though
WolflordMCS: Oh hell yeah. I loved Knightfall.
I have the paperback as well. Great stuff.
joesans1: Favorite comic? Mine has to be
amazing spider man 300 wit venom
WolflordMCS: I cant honestly
name a fave issue, too hard.
joesans1: What about favorite hero or villain?
WolflordMCS: Hero: Batman or Daredevil.
Villain: old Venom, Bullseye, Rah's Al Goul from
Batman and Deadpool, even though I gave up on
Xmen in 1995.
joesans1: Nice choices.
WolflordMCS: I don’t buy comics every week
for nothing.
joesans1: Explain the Wolflord to me? Why that
screen name?
WolflordMCS: It's my Black Metal name. Every
cool Metalhead (that digs Black Metal, that is)
should have one. I like wolves a lot and Lord
comes from my ego, I guess, hence Wolflord.
It's a fun name, ain't it?
joesans1: Mike Scondotto, the wolflord
joesans1: What have been listening to lately?
WolflordMCS: Besides, Corpsevomit was
taken so...
WolflordMCS: HA!
WolflordMCS: Lately I’ve been listening to:
Depeche Mode, Darkthrone, Trial, Mesh,
Cryptopsy, Naglfar, Sisters of Mercy and Ink
and Dagger. Lat night I made a mixed tape of
80's new wave, no joke!
joesans1: No rap?
WolflordMCS: No not really. I plan on getting
the new Dre. and the Friday sdtk. though. NWA
reunion is coming bro!!
joesans1: Friday soundtrack looks good
joesans1: yea yeaaa!
WolflordMCS: I heard some of it here at my
job, sounds good.
WolflordMCS: I’m waiting for the Samhain box
set too.
joesans1: I know Inhuman has come out to
various entrance themes but what wrestling
entrance them would you intro with?
WolflordMCS: Either Mr. Ass theme, Jericho's
theme or Sean Michaels theme! HA!
WolflordMCS: DX is coo too.
WolflordMCS: cool
WolflordMCS: Godfather should have a better
song don’t you think?
joesans1: it think his song is funny
WolflordMCS: He's funny, the song is so-so.
joesans1: now if u were a wrestler
joesans1: what would be your gimmick
WolflordMCS: Id be a combination of The
Rock and Kevin Sullivan, the original Satanic
dude!
joesans1: , what
entrance music would you have,
WolflordMCS: My entrance music would be
"Am I Demon" by Danzig and my finishing move
would be ..
joesans1: finishing move?
WolflordMCS: A STUNNER! STUNNER!
joesans1: face or heel?
WolflordMCS: A face/heel combo.
joesans1: very interesting
joesans1: cut me a promo that would pull that one
off
WolflordMCS: I’m forever struggling between
good and evil, Joe.
joesans1: let me hear it
WolflordMCS: " Between the forces of good
and evil stands one man....
WolflordMCS: The Wolflord!!"
joesans1: nice
joesans1: what would be your catchphrase?
WolflordMCS: Haha! How lame!
WolflordMCS: I think you got me now on that
one!
joesans1: come on, the wolflord can come up
with something
joesans1: or would u just run around
screaming Hussss all the time
joesans1: like the great bzerker
WolflordMCS: Hey, that sounds about right.
Husss
joesans1: Ok, so u throw all the member of
Inhuman in a steel cage match, who would come
out the winner?
WolflordMCS: Easy, me!
joesans1: I don't know
joesans1: My pick is Walter
joesans1: because he closely resembles Meng
WolflordMCS: Size ain’t shit! I cant wait till
everybody reads this one, ha!
joesans1: Ok man, do u have any final
comments for the millions (pause) and millions of
Inhuman fans out there?
WolflordMCS: More like the dozens and
dozens!
