Interviews — 04 February 2010

So, once again Headbang Today showed no remorse and no morals but instead, our own hardened balls. We’re grabbing MotherFUDD 2010 by its horns and we’re having pre-festival interviews with a majority of the bands that will be performing at MotherFUDD.

We’ve caught up with SacriFist once again for a quick interview and asked them what they have in stall for us at one of South Africa’s BIGGEST heavy metal festivals as well as how they’ll be working together minus one of their guitarists!

Interview by: Scream

SacriFist are: Sammy F. Simegi – Guitars, Dwayne Coetzee – Vocals, Shaun Mosely – Bass, Michael Kiefer – Drums

Headbang Today: Welcome back! It is satisfying to have SacriFist featured on Headbang Today once again… This time we’ll be talking about MotherFUDD 2010… It’s going to be the event of the year and

SacriFist still seems to be minus a guitarist… How are you guys preparing yourselves for this event?

SacriFist: Michael: Well the thing is that we have a couple of shows that were already confirmed last year. We have not parted on any bad terms with Byron and he will still be jamming with us at these shows. So we are not really short a guitarist. It’s business as usual!

Darkness releases two of the horsemen...

Sammy: Firstly thank you for having us back . With regards to the guitarist story, we’re still looking but Byron is helping until we find the right replacement. Like we stated before its bloody big shoes to fill ; So therefore Byron is still basically part of the band?


Shaun: We’re not too concerned as something like this takes time & we

are looking for the right person that has the same drive & outlook as the

rest of us. Besides that, Byron said he will help us out when ever we need

help.

Headbang Today: We can only imagine the amount of dust that’ll be kicked up once SacriFist hits that stage… Tell us.. which one of your songs out of your set do you think will get the entire crowd to breakdown into a solid headbanging session alltogether? (we hope it’s Surrealist Plague!)

SacriFist: Michael: Oh yeah definitely Surreallist Plague, but In the Dragons blood always goes down really great. But so do many of the others. We are going to give them all our absolute best. I almost forgot – JUGGERNAUT !!!!

Sammy: HAHA!, I don’t know… people seem to like Dragon’s blood a lot, I think that gets em going and also Surrealist Plague… and of course the Creeping Death cover makes fans go apeshit.

Shaun: Hahahaha – when we play Surrealist, we’ll keep an eye out for you moshing it up then.

Headbang Today: Keeping that very song in mind, what’s the possibility that you could notify the masses that HeadbangToday.com is attending the festival and that we want to see each and every single MotherFudder to bang the shit out of their own skulls for us?

SacriFist: Michael: That’s going to cost you big time! HAHA!, No really it will be a pleasure.

Sammy: HAHAHAH I think Dwayne should answer that one?

Shaun: Done deal! You owe us beer! Hahahaha

Headbang Today: Now that we’ve got something brewing… is there a special something headbangers can expect from SacriFist at MotherFUDD (Come on, break the ice) ?

SacriFist: Michael: As artists we always look for new and exciting things to try out and do on stage. But it is actually a very risky business to experiment on stage because it can go very wrong. So we rather not mention anything because if it does go wrong, then not so many people will know because they were not expecting the real thing.

Sammy: We might be able to play a brand new SacriFist track at MotherFudd 2010… NOTE: I did say maybe (smiles)

Shaun: That would be letting the cat out the bag don’t you think?

Headbang Today: The last time we spoke, you were preparing to tour Germany again. How is that going?

SacriFist: Michael: Planning a tour to Germany or any other country is a really big thing indeed, and it takes time. Lots of it. And even more money. But yeah, we are in discussion with several agents in Germany, so things are definitely on track.

Sammy: Seriously we’re taking everything slowly there is no need to rushing things BUT we do have our deadlines set, make no mistake about that.

Shaun: Not bad at all, however there is something else that is in the

pipeline, that we think you all will enjoy a lot more. That’s as much as I’m prepared to say, sorry!

Headbang Today:What else does SacriFist have planned for 2010?

SacriFist: Michael: Party with all our friends that come to our shows! On top of that we are slowly getting new material together for a new album so much of our time will go into that.

Sammy: We’re all talking about maybe bringing out a well known international act but further more we can’t say shit about it.

Shaun: All I can say is that there are big things that will be happening

in 2010 & early 2011.

Attacking by order of the Red Headbang general...

Headbang Today: So when will SacriFist’s new album be ready for us to rock out to?

SacriFist: Michael: Now that will be telling.

Sammy: The plan is ASAP, We’re really so busy with a lot of things and more often our plans clash with eachother so that why I mentioned that we’re taking everything on step at a time, realistically we would like to bring out a new album ASAP but we don’t always have time to write new material when we have other “business” to attend to (if you catch my drift).

Shaun: Soon, but right now it would be better to concentrate on one of the most ass kicking festivals in S.A. which is MOTHERFUDD!

Headbang Today: A group of scientists is looking to dig up the remains of Leonardo Da Vinci so that they can reconstruct his face…. Would any of you like it if people in the future are to dig up your bones only to reconstruct your face?

SacriFist: Michael: Eish I have never thought of it, especially in that way. I suppose the difference is that in the days of Da Vinci there were no camera’s to capture an image for future generations to view, and nowadays we have such technology so there wouldn’t be a need. I suppose I would rather have people remember me from a photo, as opposed to dig up and then take a look. Can only be an ugly sight. Might make a good album cover though.

Sammy: HAHA! WTF?! Holy hell I don’t know? Maybe not cause I’d like to be cremated …

Shaun: Well if they reconstruct my face, they might as well reconstruct my ass ’cause that’s what they can kiss when I’m dead!

Headbang Today: Any last words?

SacriFist: Michael: It’s always good to chat to you guys at Heabangtoday.com and thank you for time. See you in the mosh pit!

Sammy: You fucking ROCK!! And thanks for the interview!

Shaun: Thank you for this interview & we’ll see all you Motherfudders at

MotherFudd fucking shit up with us!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!
