Could you provide us some basic info about your band?
We are the ones dressed in black & green, with the guy screaming as a fucker, through green neon lights, about aliens, thrillers, killers, gore, apocalypse and other unsafe things; we are hated by true metalheads 'cause we are too electro, hated by narrow rivetheads 'cause (oh myyyyy god!) we have metal guitars and hated by everyone cause we suck *smiles* We come from the good old Italy and we formed 3 years ago.

Why did you exactly pick this track to appear on the compilation?
We picked "Abduction Starfleet" 'cause it's a T3C-lassic song, and the latest song we officially released. And this song is the right tune to set the world on fire.

How important is and has the internet been for your band?
Very important! It's a good way to spread the music…sites and communities like myspace, vampirefreaks (or some message boards too) are one of the right ways to get some attention. But I think we need other way to promote our music like magazines and radio stations.

What are the views upon the local music industry in your native country?
Honestly, I don't give a fuck about it.

And what about the rest of the world?
When we'll sign for a label I will tell you if I'm still disgusted about the music industry. Probably yes.

How do you see the role of the record labels in the music industry in about 10 years?
Everyone downloads albums, mp3s…labels will collapse…I think the idea Trent Reznor had (if I remember correctly he broke the deal with his label, self-producing and distributing through the web the future NIN works) was brilliant.
But, you know what I mean, it's a great idea if you are 'a Trent Reznor', not 'a Snuff Mazend'. He's famous and universally acclaimed and he can keep alive his career also if he's fighting against the majors, he can count on millions of fans and stuff. I don't. But I can count on alcohol. *laughs*

What are your opinions on the Industrialized Metal Webzine?
It's a really cool 'zine, getting more and more professional. You are always improving the site and the quality of interviews and reviews, Gerardo. You and your staff done a great work. And thank you for the continuous support you gave to my band through the years!

Do you have some final words to add?
Enjoy our track and die by our alien claws!
