"Faithful Of Industrial Muse...
This Slovak band exists since 1994, making ultimate death-industrial sound which brought them status as one of the genre's top classics. Longtime original set-up changed in 1999 when 'P-01' (Patryc Cyber) was replaced by hallucinatory throat of Martin Jarolim. After many releases Einleitungszeit are well known worldwide, and their live performances have been seen by audiences not only in Slovakia, but also Poland and Germany (with more then positive reaction and successful acceptance).
The very first tapes were on Slovak 'Crewzine'. This material was followed by an LP. Another release was on Finnish label 'Freak Animal'. Afterwards American cult 'Recalcitrant Noise' did two vinyl albums which were censored in Slovakia because of quite shocking and unacceptable cover. During 1999 was recorded and released first time on pro-CD (this could be called a true memento of the 'old time' Einleitungszeit sound). The group's first video was released on the eve of 1999 and the second one in 2000.
Einleitungszeit live actions are very intense, often described as negative or destructive, but they have more in common with ecstasy when using grinder directly on chest (protected only with thin metal plate) or burning hands with asbestos gloves or grinding an iron band around neck [These aren't metaphors. --S]. The sound is absorbing, clear and powerful. The stage storm brings ecstasy and feelings of transformation through sound, spirit and fire. The imagery of master-slave relationship, the embodiment of human alienation, those are information transmitted by the cyber-apostles for the next century, for hybrids and clones."
Terveet Kadet - "TK Pop 1980-1989" 2xCD 2019 (FLAC)
1983 interview by Pushead...
Cranking exuberant full horsepower thrash, blistering the decibles with non-hesitant ourcries of wild chaotic intensity, comes from the town of Tornio, on the border of Sweden and Finland, the crazed speed merchants of Finnish hardcore, TERVEET KADET. Split second experts in piledriving ferocity, TERVEET KADET features Laja, 24, voice; Tiimo, 25, guitars; Piasky, 23, bass and voices; and newcomer Walde, 17, on drums. Together they make a spectacular rapid firing assault of frenzied disorder, captured on three staggering 7" EPs, a few cuts on Russia Bombs Finland sampler LP, Raw War cassette sampler, and soon the urgency continues on a 17 song mini LP on Propaganda Records which features unrestrained numbers like "Vapaa Pohjola" (Free North), "Ulkopulinen" (Outsider), "A.L.I.E.N.", and "Transvestiitti". This blazing inferno of powerhouse excitement is storming the gates of international hardcore, one of the ten best amplified bands today.
Q: English meaning of TERVEET KADET and why did you choose that name?
TK: TERVEET KADET or the HEALTHY HANDS...Well the "name", we chose it because we like that is stupid (an anti-punk name) we're very humorous guys. Maybe names like SYSTEM, THE FRONT OF COPS, BASTARDS, KAAOS/CHAOS, etc sounds very "international bullshit", that's why the name, TK, and it's our independence. Who needs our name? Maybe nobody.
Q: Explain the TK symbol.
TK: Circle/a cross/"horizontal line" = "symbol" about dreams. What we dreaming? Who knows?
Q: Do you believe in god/religion?
TK: "Religion" = only few words that can get the power of the soul. Religion means to us punk, anarchy, political power, the good and the bad, etc.
Q: Are you political? What sort of political state is Finland? How does it affect your lives? Does it switch suddenly or if it a continuous state? Do you believe in a system? Do you believe in anarchy?
TK: No. Because we likes that we not "understand" politics, that is why we don't wanna put our "ideas" to some heads. And it's religion too, But we listen what others say, and they say pressure/kill/lies, etc. Finland is only capitalist country (little USA), we also have big communist organizations (SKP, SKOL). effect our lives here, too many unemployed, what to do if you're older? Fuck. Finland is so "sleeper" that nothing happens (chaos?). We don't believe any system (no comments). Anarchy = good to soul, bad to mind? Is it the "good only system" that can change good old rebellious religion? Hmm, hmm...
Q: With Russia being the next door neighbor, how does this affect you with the arms /power race between US/USSR? What are TK's feelings towards US, USSR, UK, the leaders and their conquest for power? Is this spoken of in TK's lyrics?
TK: The Russia and rest of the world. Well, it's only frightening! Too many power, too many stupids, too many leaders who want save their countries to some "monsterous neighbor"...well, that's why we do songs about anti-war (mostly), like "War", etc. We don't put the finger to nobody...all in our fine earth are in the circle of death. United/change and win, do songs about anti-war. (It's cliche, but fuck...the world is too mad). Message = fuck off your power (leaders), we don't need your lies.
Q: What do TK's lyrics represent? Who writes the lyrics?
TK: Songs...mostly about war, but we do also songs that means something. Well, uh, strange things. (Finnish punx not understand them all, that is why they like that TK is full of shit and fun too, heh heh.) Most of TK lyrics by Mr. Laja because he knows something about soul (Don't trust him...)?
Q: Who writes the music? What are your major influences to play the music you play? Bands?
TK: Tiimo and TK we play only, is into our soul (not for money, not for big name, etc)? We want to do something and fight about our ideas. UK - D1SCHARGE (best), USA - all (mostly) with good speed /ideas, Sweden - SHITLICKERS (great), HEADCLEANERS (great). Finland - RIISTETYT (best), RATTUS, old STALIN, RUTTO, etc.
Q: What do you think of Finnish punk/hardcore music, the scene, the clubs, the activities and so on? What is the attitude of the punx and how it affects TK, like the nazis, the skins, the spikes, and so on?
TK: Finnish music (HC) "maybe the best". The scene, well ok, punx are not united here, that is very dumb/sad scene. But we love it too. The clubs, well some ok places like Lepakko Luola (in Helsinki) the best yet, have good feelings. The hiki punx are the best (united and so on). Propaganda do some shows and help a lot of HC bands. Finnish punx do fanzines, records, etc. Like in the States if you come to "club" you want to be 18 (to drink), the bands play and punx "slam" and get drunk, then come police. Finnish punx attitude = get drunk and beat (silly). Where hell is the brain? Skins/spikes - ok, if they're not nazis! We love our scene.
Q: Your opinions of Finnish police? It you're jailed? What are the major/mino crimes that the police hassle Finnish punx for?
TK: Police (or poliisi) not so "brutal" like USA, but fuck them. We're not jailed, an police are not threatening us (only ou shadows??). The minor/major crimes punx get drunk, chaos, riot.
Q: Live gigs for TK? Have you toured? Have you been outside of Finland? Is there plans for a European tour?
TK: Four gigs in '82, we've not toured, we live so far away from the big scenes and it costs a lot. And maybe punx are not interested our noises? First gig in Sweden. The "European tour", well we play if some organized it. Lots of friends in Europe. When we play our home town (Tornio) only 5-30 people, they don't like our noises. Another great band in Tornio is the RUTTO, make 5 track EP, out soon. When we play in Helsinki with LAMA, about 200 punx and they enjoy our noises.
Q: Is TK a serious band or for fun? Is there a message you strive for?
TK : The big question. Well, both off, we do songs that are very serious and some fun songs though we're not so called "punx puritan band". So don't know, that is your problem. Don't trust nobody is our message, the world can kill without us.
Q: Are times bad in Finland? Is TK unemployed?
TK: Not so good for Finland, ok for TK, we're not unemployed.
Q: TK's description of Finland?
TK: "The land of hope"...(fuck). Thank you to Shesh, Vote, Pushead and to all who writes to us, thanx for your time. Have infinite X-Mas and take a wank. Goodbye.

Electro Hippies - Demos 1 & 2 ("Killing Babies Is Tight" 1986 & "If Killing Babies Is Tight, Killing Babies For Profit Is Even Tighter" 1987)
"Electro Hippies were a thrashcore band formed in St Helens U.K. in 1985. Though they were very underground throughout their short career, they still influenced many future hardcore, crust, and even grindcore groups. They strongly embraced the D.I.Y. ethic, with a particularly hardline stance on animal rights and vegetarianism. Electro Hippies included Jeff Walker on vocals, when he joined Carcass full time, the rest of the band then shared singing duties. Eventually they split in 1989, playing one last gig and releasing that show as their final album."
Sakata Sextet - "Trauma" 12" 1982
You'd swear on Eddie's corpse that this was a lost Zorn/Patton concoction...
"Akira Sakata is a Japanese free jazz saxophonist. Born in Hiroshima on 21 February 1945, he first heard jazz on short-wave radio and 'Voice Of America', then became more interested in it from listening to film soundtracks. He began studying music seriously in high school, and played in a jazz band when at university. He was with the 'Yamashita Yosuke Trio' from 1972 to 1979 and toured internationally with them. In 1986, he played with Bill Laswell's 'Last Exit'. Laswell went on to play bass for and produce several of Sakata's albums, one of which featured the reclusive Pete Cosey (who had worked with Miles Davis) on guitar. He later worked with DJ Krush and Chikamorachi. His career nearly ended in 2002, when he had a brain haemorrhage. He had to relearn the saxophone and returned to performing after three months."

Cadaver/Carnage - "Hallucinating Anxiety/Dark Recollections" Split CD 1990, "Abnormal Deformity" Demo 1989, "The Day Man Lost" Demo 1989
"Cadaver is a Norwegian death metal band formed in 1988. Their first album was also the first Norwegian death metal album. The group has had a rather turbulent history as they have disbanded and reunited on several occasions. They were also briefly known as 'Cadaver Inc.'. Founding member and primary songwriter Anders Odden is the only member that has been in every changing lineup."
"Initially founded as 'Global Carnage' in October 1988, Carnage was one of the first death metal bands in the Swedish scene. In addition to Merciless and Entombed, they were also among the first to secure a record deal. The band's career was short lived, playing live only three times and releasing one full length album, after which they disbanded. After the split members went on to join or form Carcass, Dismember, Entombed, Furbowl, and Arch Enemy."
Insanity - "Ultimate Death" CDR 2004
"Insanity were true cult speed-death (and partially black metal) pioneers. They gained a sizable following in the underground tape trading and fanzine circuit when their debut live demo was released in 1985...however, due to the untimely death of co-founder Joe DeZuniga, the group became unproductive (but never officially broken up) for decades after. This CDR includes the legendary first demo remastered, as well as a 1986 rehearsal and unreleased 8-track-studio demo from 1993."
