Could you provide us some basic info about your band?
The Bombs Of Enduring Freedom was born out of frustration at the downward spiral of global events in 2007 AD. Although not just the work of James Fogarty (formerly of Ewigkeit), he is the only member so far to confirm nvolvement and is the groups cheif strategist. He also runs DEATH TO MUSIC productions with the help of the "DTM Forward Attack Sqaudron".

Why did you exactly pick this track to appear on the compilation?
Unlike most of our tracks, there's not a lot of lyrics to it, and it gets to the point straight away. It deals with the "reality" that the american military machine inhabits ; The killing of innocents in the cause of freedom, the destruction of freedom in the cause of liberty, the international illigality of liberty in the cause of the project for the new american century and it's manufactured blindfold in the shape of the war of attrition of the 21st century.

How important is and has the internet been for your band?
Without the internet, we wouldnt be able to sell any of our limited-edition debut CD albums. Without the internet, we wouldnt have our "anti" record label. Without the internet, we wouldnt have most of the samples we use. Without the internet, we wouldnt be able to propogate our audio terror tactics. Without the internet, we woudlnt exist as a project!

What are the views upon the local music industry in your native country?
The industry surrounding musicians is a parasite. It has sought to dictate the direction that musicians take, the things they say and the clothes they wear. In specific, the 'metal' industry is run by an elitist bunch of old men who believe that you must kiss arse and work for nothing. Bands that do 'well' are those whose teenage dreams and need to fulfill their egos survive the test of working for record labels for nothing and getting ripped off at every turn. The only way 'metal' musicians can make enough to survive, is to tour 9 months of the year in a transit van surviving on Pot Noodles.

And what about the rest of the world?
Every music scene in every country follows the description above. Rarley though are artists treated as badly as 'metal' artists are.

How do you see the role of the record labels in the music industry in about 10 years?
There hoepfully wont be any large record labels left. CD's may still exist, but it will mostly be digital.

What are your opinions on the Industrialized Metal Webzine?
I love Industrialized Metal zine. Gerardo - you are a god amongst men, and we are not worthy to eat your shit.

Do you have some final words to add?
Support The Bombs Of Enduring Freedom! Support Death To Music productions! Fuck The Industry - we dont need it!
