Could you provide us some basic info about your band?
We are Cuntworm, an American Industrialized Black Metal band that has been told to keep it down since 2002.

Why did you exactly pick this track to appear on the compilation?
We chose the song "Crowning the Serpent" because we feel it is something most metalheads could get into. That, and we've been listening to it a lot ourselves, so we felt it needed to be shared with the masses.

How important is and has the internet been for your band?
The internet has pretty much made us what we are today. Due to the distance between our members, we utilize the internet a lot for file sharing and for other collaborations.

What are the views upon the local music industry in your native country?
Obviously the mainstream is nothing but crap, it's the same way all over the world. The underground is definitely where it is at. It's only disheartening to find all these amazing artists confined to unknown indie labels. What makes it even worse, is that these indie labels don't make any money, cause everyone is downloading their shit, then the label goes under along with all this kickass shit that they released. Kinda disheartening.

And what about the rest of the world?
I think it's about the same everywhere, but I think Japan has some decent music coming out of their mainstream scene.

How do you see the role of the record labels in the music industry in about 10 years?
I think in about 10 years most record labels will have abandoned pressing physical cds. I believe everything will be digital soon enough. Preloaded mp3 players, usb devices full of tracks, I think that'll be the next evolutionary step for the major labels. Besides, who even uses a cd player anymore these days?

What are your opinions on the Industrialized Metal Webzine?
I fucking love it. I've always been a fan of industrial-tinged metal, and i think it's about goddamn time someone cover the genre that i hold such a high regard for.

Do you have some final words to add?
Don't believe in the government and don't believe in what a church tells you. your best interest is the farthest from their minds.
