01. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. TELL US THE READERS ABOUT  HATECROWNED ?

 We come from a middle eastern country where any different thinking is mostly prohibited, we are a band with a musical and ideological agenda where death and darkness are the torches that shone our path, we stride to embody our hatred and chaos within death-soaked Black Metal.

02. HOW`S THE ACTUAL LINE UP?

 We passed through many line-up changes due to many reasons and circumstances, and at the mean time we have Dahaaka and Soulburner on the guitars, I, Ayvaal on the vocals, Nephtys on the keyboard and the female vocals, Warlord on the drums and Trotgoh on the bass guitar, and when Dahaaka travels Zakk Kattan takes his replacement on the stage, and due to the lack of equipments in our country we had to hire Benjamin "Goredrummer" Lauritsen from Pit of Carnage to do the drums recording at Pit Studios-Denmark for our upcoming full length.

03. WHAT`S YOUR FEELING FOR THE BLACK METAL?

 Black metal is a music and a cult that is not for the weak, musically we found ourselves sharing the same untamed passion for this blasphemous art, it went beyond the borders of being a fan or a fanatic of this genre, it is a way of life and death of a complete philosophy of liberation and vengeance, an overwhelmed volcano of cold yet furious hatred ! briefly said, Black Metal led us to find our true selves of fire.

04. BECAUSE YOU ARE ANTI-COSMIC LUCIFERIANISM?

 We don't have to explain Anti-Cosmic Luciferianism because it can explain itself to those who seek Gnosis, liberation and connection with the divines, we are not members of the temple because they do not accept any new members as we knew, but we'd be honored to officially join this revered occult. with time we learned about Anti-Cosmic Luciferianism through bands and on the internet which was the only way, and we dug as deep as we could, it came to answer many questions and it translated infinitely the feelings that we have towards the scum stained cosmos and hylic clayborns so called humanity, we are Luciferianists because we heeded the call of the wild black burning flames inside of us.

05. COMMENT ABOUT EP: WARPACT IN BLACK?

Warpact In Black was our first ever material, we can say that we did everything ourselves and we were new to recording so we acknowledge that the quality of sound was not magical, also our music and lyrics were not fully mature. Our current and future work describes us best as you will witness it soon on NEWBORN SERPENT. We faced lots of opposition and no one encouraged us and we had financial difficulties but we made it and personally I consider it a decent music quality album.

06. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF RELIGIONS?

HAIL SATAN.

07. HOW ARE YOUR NEWS WORDS?

For lyrics we are everyday inspired by the Black Light as a first level, and of course the shit and lies that surrounds us and by this filthy humanity of which we are thankful, as for music we are getting more experienced and our music sounds more of what we want to, Hellish Black Fucking Metal, and as for band releases and appearances, we are willing to release our first full length NEWBORN SERPENT through FALL OF EDEN RECORDS from U.K hopefully this year, and there are plans for international yet underground splits and compilations.

08. DID YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS?

We played 3 gigs so far in Lebanon in several cities, they were all successful and we managed to get the attention and hailing of the crowds since the first concert, our 2nd and 3rd concert were a kick-ass, that might sound inexperienced but I wouldn't be showing off if I tell you that from the first time we trampled a stage we appeared and proved that we are stage beasts. You can say gigs in Lebanon are not well organized due to fear and repression but we manage to seize every moment and it seems like we are not capable to tour at the mean time.

09. TELL US ABOUT THE BLACK METAL SCENE IN LEBANON?

Black Metal scene in Lebanon? There used to be some important Black Metal bands in the past but they split up, Black metal is not encouraged or supported among metalheads in Lebanon, most of them are secretly religious and they just feel that something have impaled them when they hear the word "BLACK METAL", preference goes to thrash and heavy mostly, we are currently along with DEATHLAM and KAOTEON and very few unrecognized one-man projects and other bands with nothing to identify their work but some covers. and let me tell you about the support you would receive from some local metal magazines and Ezines, they would poorly share your achievements, promise you shits they will never do, remove you from their websites because you are too brutal for their peaceful metal movements, and move the spot light to those close to them (friends and relatives) or to those from the same stinking religion.

10. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

We still have few copies of Warpact in Black, as for shirts and accessories we are willing to start into this business soon.

11. COMMENT ABOUT LABEL: FALL OF EDEN RECORDS?

FALL OF EDEN is a label that any ascending band would like to sign to, David a very open minded and respectful man with a great passion to music and arts, NEWBORN SERPENT will be released through FALL OF EDEN and hopefully we both will grow bigger together, we look forward for more works with them in the future, and I can foresee a huge future for this label, that's what METAL give you back as a reward when you generously give to this worldwide cult.

12. WHAT`S YOUR IDEOLOGY?

Those who can read between the lines will be able to recognize it, it was vastly mentioned in most of our answers, and more to be clarified when if read our lyrics and meditate our band name.

13. FUTURE PLANS...

Few recording sessions left for NEWBORN SERPENT and then we'll enter the mixing and mastering process and of course the artwork will be made by Pedro Ortiz from EVD Graphics (the designers of the Arabic Anti-Islamic Legion's logo) and then we will release it through FALL OF EDEN RECORDS, lyrics and music ideas for another full length are also crawling towards us, we are trying to manage the financial issues to begin touring abroad as we are planning for some splits and compilations as I told you and of course playing as much local gigs as possible.

14. ANY LAST COMMENTS?

We would like to thank you for the interview and for your support for metal, we hope we provided you and the readers with the answers that best describes us, KEEP THE FLAME BURNING.

HAIL KAOS, HAIL DARKNESS.
