When we played in Hannover in 2008 or 2009 - I can't remember exactly - our good friend Raoul hooked us up with sleeping places and drinks, and told us crazy stories from when his old band toured with Biohazard in the early 00's. He just started a new band called Salad Days; a great mix of punk and hardcore. Go check 'em out here.
Also another good friend of ours happens to sing for a band called The Platoon. They will release a new 7" soon, check out some of their new stuff here.
And then there's Empowerment. If you haven't heard about them, you must be either listening to Deathcore (too bad...), reside outside of Germany (good for you, check these guys out nonetheless), or under a rock! Great NYHC-influenced stuff, listen to some songs here.

Interview: Rene/ Punchline Productions, part 2
No long introduction needed, here's part 2 of the interview with Rene/ Puchline Productions, where he talks about his experiences with working for a big Metal-label and the differences and similarities between the HC- and the Metal-scene.
Not too many people know, that you made your passion for heavy music your job and work for Nuclear Blast rec these days? How did that come along? And tell us something about your daily work at NB, because not many people know how it is working for a record label?
As usual with me it was pure coincidence. I surfed the Nuclear Blast homepage to order the new Slayer LP (I can’t remember which one it was, possibly Diabolus in Musica – horrible record!) and saw a post saying that they were looking for people to work part-time in their warehouse. During that time I had another part-time job going from wednesdays til fridays, so I emailed them and told them I could work mondays and tuesdays. After about six months working part-time at NB they offered me a full-time position at their warehouse. Since I wasn’t too happy with my other job, I took it right away. After working at the warehouse for some time, I moved to the customer service department – and that’s where I still work today. In addition to that I am the deputy warehouse manager as well. Working for NB generally is a lot of fun, the atmosphere is very nice and there aren’t too many hierarchies. But at the end of the day it is still work, and a lot of work it is. If you think we all just hang out, drink beer and listen to music all day while getting paid for it, you are definitely wrong. I sometimes work 12 or 13 hours a day, if it’’s really business I even work on weekends or put in a night-shift – while getting up at 7am the next morning to do it all again. During the summer festival season I travel to all the big metal festivals to sell merchandise, which involves working for 18 hours a day, sleeping on a shitty mattress behind the merchandise tent, and eating mainly junk-food. Yet still I hold that our Christmas parties beat those of other companies big time. So much fun...
Some say Metal and HC are very much alike right now. Do you notice any major differences between the Metal world and the Hardcore world these days? Attitude-wise - politically or else?
I would agree that HC and Metal have become more and more similar, especially with regard to stuff that’s labeled „Metalcore“. Different people have different opinions on it, to each his own I’d say. In my opinion there’s good and shitty bands in all genres and forms of music, but currently it seems to me that there is hardly anything good coming out the „Metalcore“ camp. There are hardly any honest and authentic bands popping up, most new bands seem to want to jump on a trend rather than doing their own thing.
The big different between Metal and HC lies still in the fact that Metal is thoroughly commercialized. There are hardly any small, diy shows, hardly any small labels, distributions etc., while all these things still exist in the HC-scene. Antifascism, a critical attitude towards society, ecology, straight edge, vegetarianism etc. are rather irrevelant issues for Metalheads, but for HC-kids they are dominant issues – even if you are not straight edge or vegetarian you still learn something about these issues listening to HC.
Another example: it is usually tolerated if you wear a Nazi-shirt at a Metalgig as long as you don’t cause any troubel, while you will certainly get into trouble wearing such a shirt going to a HC-gig – and rightly so! Metalheads can travel to Wacken Festival, behave like neanderthals throughout the whole weekend, and work as a cop the next day... I don’t know what to say about something like that.
Yet, to come back to what I said at the beginning of this rather long answer, both scenes are becoming more and more similar. On the one hand the Metal scene is changing: people become more politically conscious and are less and less likely to tolerate fascism/ racism in their scene. Metalbands aren’t exclusively singing about dungeons and dragons anymore. On the other hand the HC-scene is becoming more and more mainstream and apolitical, and therefore reflect less on social and political issues. Because HC on its various subgenres have grown so rapidly in the last years, HC’s political state of mind and its emphasis on „being different“ and „making a change“ is changing. „Make a difference“ is not a slogan the whole scene subscribes to anymore, which is sad in my opinion.

Interview: Rene/ Punchline Productions
Here comes our next installment in our series of interviews with people connected to the past and the present of Final Prayer. This time we asked Rene, former co-owner of Punchline Production and currently involved with Demons Run Amok records, a few questions about the "hows" and "whys" regarding the release of our first record, running a DIY record label. Rene furthermore has been a long-time scenester of the Stuttgart HC- and Punk-scene booking shows, driving bands, and stealing beers out of all sorts of backstage rooms. Great guy all around, so check out what he has to say.
As early as 2004, and without having ever listened to a single song FP had written, you offered to release the first FP songs. Why did you do that? The songs could have been total crap, or worse: emo-screamo stuff, haha.
Hey Felix, what can I say? I’ve been knowing you and Pascal (drums) from your time in Disrespect and Pascal from drumming for Shortage. Both were great bands. Furthermore we had been friends for a while, so for me the whole thing was a no-brainer from the beginning. You guys were up for it and so was I, simple as that. I can still remember the first time we talked about your new band and you said „it sounds a bit like Death Threat“, haha – that was a long time ago. And it’s true: I had never heard anything of FP before the demo came out, but I knew given the guys who were in the band that it couldn’t be anything but good stuff. Besides that there is the whole Berlin-Stuttgart bortherhood/ sisterhood thing going out for years now. The bonds of friendship between the two cities and their scenes are so strong, and that’s such a great thing, that we had to do a split CD with one band from Berlin and one from Stuttgart. I have no clue how it all started, all I know is that I found myself in the middle of it all. These fiendships hold true til today, that’s real HC spirit. That being said, even if you guys had written some emo-songs, it wouldn’t have mattered – I would have released the record anyway. Hardcore is hardocre if it comes from the heart, right?
Where you satisfied after you received the recordings in the mail?
Of course, dude. I still am today.
How did Crisis Never Ends into play? Who had the idea for the split CD?
CNE had a new vocalist, Heiko took over the microphone, and nobody in Stuttgart knew what to expect and if CNE were actually still a band. But in my opinion getting Heiko to sing for CNE and doing the split CD with FP was the best thing that could have happened to the band at the time. And I actually know Heiko for more than 15 years, he is one of my oldest and best friends. So when CNE approached me to release some of their new songs to introduce their singer to their audience, I did not hesitate to get involved. To be honest I don’t remember who acutallly had the idea to release the split CD, but whoever came up with it – it was a great idea.
Where you annoyed that FP went to Let it Burn rec for the first album?
Haha, why would I? I am totally satisfied with what I did with FP. FP had a release out, introduced themselves to new people and CNE got to introduce their new singer through the release as well. We sold loads of copies of split the CD. And most importantly the split CD forged new and long-lasting friendships – I couldn’t ask for more. My aim with the record label was never to make money or sell a million records – fuck it! I had fun putting out records and that’s all I wanted. In addition to that, I think Let it burn records did a great job with the first album!
Punchline Productions ceased to exist shortly afterwards. Give us an overview on the labels history, the motivation behind it, and what you think about it in retrospective?
Where to start? Punchline was run by two friends - me and my good old friend Boris. We started with a little record distro at shows, which consisted of maybe 5 CD’s and a couple of fanzines that we sold at local shows. The little money we made we put back into the distro buying new records – the usual thing, you know. At one point a friend asked us to distribute the demo-tape of his band, 711 Mayhem. We said yes and started the whole thing. We got the master-tape from him and made 250 copies with a simple tape deck, haha. Old school as fuck. In the meantime the distro grew and grew and we also started booking shows and getting more and more involved in the scene. It was only a logical consequence to finally start releasing records. All in all we did five releases with Punchline Productions:
Behind the Sun – targeting my greatest weakness CD
Physical Challenge – I quit LP (CD on Rival Rec.)
One Million Thoughts – still MCD
Final Prayer/CNE – Split CD
Agents of Man – count your blessings LP (CD on Century Media)
Sadly during the Agents of Man LP Boris felt that he had not enough time to continue with the label and I didn’t wanna do it on my own, so we decided to stop the label. We were actually supposed to release the Sidekick farewell DVD, but that thing never materialized, haha. This is how it sometimes goes here in Stuttgart....
All in all I had a great time doing the label. I learned a lot, actually mainly positive things in retrospective, because we drew positive lessons from negative experiences. I personally also forged many friendships through the label that go far beyond the usual HC/ subculture thing. We did everything completely DIY, how it should be! HC should never become something to be exploited by big bussines!
Would you do something like Punchline again in 2010?
No, it was too much of a thing based around a certain period of time. For that it was a very unique experience that I simply couldn’t repeat that easily. These were different times back then and HC-Punk has changed quite a bit since then – for better and for worse. We were just two kids starting to run a label without a “business-plan“ or something like that. Yet it was a success. If I’d ever do a label again is a whole different question. I’ve asked myself this question many times and I think I could imagine myself putting out records again in the future. What’s important for me about it, is that it should be done for the right reasons – no big attitudes, no business-plans, but DIY with a lot of heart put into it. And I certainly wouldn’t sacrifice so much of my leisure time for the label. Sadly enough for the time being I do lack the time and money to do it. I have a wonderful family that I love a lot, and I try to spend as much time as possible together with my family. I also work way too much... But who knows what the future holds – if a band totall blows me away musically and consists of great people, I might start a new label.
Part 2 of the interview will be up on this blog next week, so check back soon!

Interview: Nico, War from a harlots mouth
What follows is an interview with another guy, that once tried out for the singer position in Final Prayer before Stephan took the job for good. His name is Nico and he screams his heart out to the dissonant riffs of War from a harlots mouth from Berlin. We asked him a few questions about FP, 90s hardcore, and why his bands never manage to have 'proper' breakdowns... haha. There you go.
You are singing for Wfahm, but before joining Wfahm you actually did try out for the position of the vocalist in Final Prayer. Not too many people know that, I guess. How did it happen?
Well I actually started singing for The Ocean as their second vocalists around the same time, but wanted to do something different besides The Ocean. Friends of mine told me that a new band was being formed, and seeing that I've known both Pascal and Felix for a long time I was willing to give it a try. I practiced twice with FP, but then the main vocalists of The Ocean quit and I became their main singer, we left for tour kinda immediately afterwards and I had zero time for FP. Later on I left The Ocean and started singing for Wfahm but that's another story.
What was your first impression? Has your impression about FP changed over the years?
I connected to the songs they had written really easily, they had good hook-lines and great riffs. That is still the case and I really like to watch FP live, because of the energy they have – then and now.
What do you think about the development of FP over the years, and how would you compare it to your own band? Where do you see differences, and where similarities?
I'd say attitude-wise both bands are very similar, but they operate in different contexts. FP plays heavy HC, Wfahm plays very a very dissonant and wicked sound. But like I said we have very similar attitudes.
Being in Wfahm you've done quite some shows that also featured FP on the bill: what has been the most memorable show Wfahm did with FP and why?
One show comes to mind immediately and that's the last show of the Berlin Angst tour we did with FP and Make it Count in 2008. The whole tourcrew left the venue to drive to my mum's house to sing her some songs for her birthday. That made my mum nearly cry. Awesome night!
The latest release of Wfahm moved away from the deathcore/ mathcore style you guys are famous for into more of a straightforward Hardcore direction. Is it because you've been jealous of the fact that FP songs have all these simple riffs and breakdowns and Wfahm doesn't? Was it a conscious decision?
Haha, of course playing loads of shows together with FP has influenced as a lot, but we'll never manage to write such simple songs – we simply think too much :-)!
You are known for loving Morning Again, Culture and other Florida SXE Bands from the 1990s – any chance of Wfahm doing a Morning Again cover? And what do you think about the 90s vegan SXE bands and the scene at that time these days? Do you still listen to that stuff now and then? Has it aged well in your opinion?
Haha, great question. I was definitely really into all that Florida SXE stuff, but I really loved bands like Chokehold even more I have to say. I do actually listen to some of the old stuff from the 1990s, actually I just listened to 'burning bridges' from Chokehold and 'as tradition dies slowly' from Morning Again. It's sad to see that there is barely anything left from these days – that became very clear to me when we did a tour in 2009 with Earth Crisis and nobody cared about them anymore. It obviously wasn't much more than a short-lived hype, that died at the end of the 1990s. But then again, I always bump into people that were Vegan SXE back then and still are today. What I find really sad is that underground music scenes, be it Hardcore, Metalcore, Mathcore, Deathcore or whatever, have become so materialistic. In that regard I do miss the old days, when HC shows were still some kind of refuge, where people could actually be themselves without following any kind of “dresscodes”.
You are still vegan and SXE after all these years. Is your edge still strong? What keeps you going?
I actually tend not to think about it, it has become a part of me and I do not miss anything. I am also not a very uptight person, I love partying! But I do not need drugs or alcohol to party.
You guys are on tour all the time, how do you survive on tour as a vegan SXE kid? What's the best way to eat? How to stay healthy etc.?
First of all: Touring isn´t healthy! =) It's best to check the internet for vegan restaurants or ask local kids about it. Also in Europe usually promoters will prepare some vegan food for me to eat. But I am aware of the fact that it is not that easy everywhere else in the world to get vegan food. I hope this will change in the future though.
You are singing for Wfahm, but before joining Wfahm you actually did try out for the position of the vocalist in Final Prayer. Not too many people know that, I guess. How did it happen?
