1. Indeed You are one of the most active users of myspace and your banners can be seen in most pages of the neofolk/martial/viking/ritual bands, say where do you get so much free time? Tell us about yourself a little.
Hello! I would first of all want to thank Wolfsblood and the webzine Seidr.Woods.Ru. Time is relative when you make a thing that you like, in reality job in the hospital and for my radio-show I don't receive economic remunerations, is a passion.
This way ended the job I like to listen to this music, my music, to live her and myspace is a good tool to have contacts with bands, people and to hold been adjourned. Is really interesting, once all of this it was almost impossible.I love used my time in this way.

2. Also you are a creator of radio-show about such kind of music, tell about it.
My radio show is born in the 1996.
There was initially some everything, from the classical music to the punk, from the metal to the industrial, electronic and more. Then something happened, I saw here in Rome a concert of the Sixth Comm / Mother Destruction and I remained lightened.
The rituality, the runes, the energy.
And so definite to tighten the circle and to assemble the program on the music that I loved and I lived.
For which eliminated some music...there was also once a lot of goth, ibm and dark... to assemble the all on the ritualistic sounds, pagans, esoteric, industrial, there is very of the so called neo-folk and martial and also of the folk metal.
The program is a lot of succession in Rome and not only, but I am only a medium, a mean through which this culture and this music are communicated, just this.
We can also say that in a dead world as ours, I have the tendency to hold the alive Spirits, I make anti-information eh eh eh... 

3. And the question to you as a Rome dweller - which Italian bands are more interesting at the time in your opinion?
Well, there too many great bands here.
Formations give that they have made school as Neon and Kirlian Camera, Ataraxia, Camerata Mediolanense, Ain Soph, Argine, Inner Glory, Ordo Equitum Solis, Der Feuerkreiner, Gothica, Foresta di Ferro, Runes Order to the more recent as Tears of Othila, Malato (Ex-Ain Soph), Les Jumeaux Discordants, Dame Mediolanensi, Egida Aurea, Recondita Stirpe, Ianva, Aima project and Icydawn...but also there Ait!, All my faith lost, Kannonau, L'Antica Via del Nord, Albireon, The Well of Sadness and more......the sounds are various but they are all excellent bands!

4. Recently a page
WHEN RABBITS DIE DOWN has appeared on myspace in which creation you take part. Don't you think that a protest against rabbit assassination is ridiculous in today world? Does the Europeans like the rabbit so much that such protest actions are needed? Or maybe it is the one legal form of protest in Europe?
The problem not is only of the bunnies, they could be wolves or seals or lambs.
The problem is the man.
I have opened the page When Rabbits Die Down because I have bunnies from years in the house and they are of the marvelous creatures, very more intelligent and sensitive of so many men. A page that wants to inform and to educate the men to not only love the rabbits but all the animals. I am vegetarian and for me the animals are sacred subdued pure and innocent souls to the human cruelty. In all the tribes ancestral the animal was thanked when him he killed, was a necessity and the man made to relive the animal in if eating his meat and the Spirit was free.
Today the animals are only business and are massacred in name of the god money. However I have written this on the page WRDD and I am convinced of it:
"THE ANIMALS ARE SMALL SUSPENDED STARS TO THE SKY, THEIR LIGHT IT ILLUMINATES THE WORLD REMEMBERING US THAT THE SOUL EXISTS.
IF A MAN IN HIS OWN LIFE HAS NOT LEARNED TO LOVE AND TO RESPECT THE ANIMALS, HIS DISTANT CONSCIENCE FROM THE KNOWLEDGE, ONLY A MERE FAILURE IS HIM, A THEY PUT SOME ABOMINATION ENSLAVED"


5. Tell me are you happy? Do you fell yourself free in Italy?
No!
I don't feel me happy and I am not free, no one is free!
The world built by the hidden powers and by the false religions and is a great cage.
The New World Order has worked well. But we must resist and fight, to use their weapons for us, as we for instance do with internet and to affirm every day our ancestral roots, the cult of the nature, the shamanism, the rituality, the contact with the nature, this is our paganism and our strength, you understand well what I mean.

6. In Russia people - fans of neofolk/industrial music are downloading music by file-exchanging webs and only a little percent of them buy the original cd s. What is the situation in West Europe? And what can it lead to at the end?
No, here not there is a lot of download, this music arrives by now easy and the people buys them, this is good also for the artists, but is however as everything, in the hands of the distributors that decide prices and some things often cost a lot. Is always a logic of power.
What sense has sell here a cd of the Wolfsbloods to 21 Euro? Not is easy listening music!
Must lower the prices!
The art must have made enjoyable to everybody is good for the one whom plays and for the one whom listens. And if money doesn't go to the bands to whom go? There is always who enriches on every thing.

7. What do you think about Christianity? How lifeless is it in West Europe in your opinion?
Don't forget that here there is the Vatican, the Pope the Catholic Empire that has a great influence on the people and on the politics (ugly politics).
Personally I admire and I love a lot the figure of the Christ, his native church, but the men they have him crucifix and today of its message doesn't remain anything, hidden and mystified by the Catholicism. No today's church is not the church of God, is the church that speake of peace, ,but what is to the service of the Evil Empire, it produces ignorance and unfortunately is ... the people's opium.

8. Aren't you afraid that much more savage Islam will come in the stead of Christianity?
This problem doesn't exist.
There will be before the total war and the end of both the so called civilizations or is better saying of the two barbarisms.

9. Your webpage has pronounced pagan orientation - what does the paganism mean to you? Is its return possible in West Europe? Or maybe it is just a fate of loosers who couldn't get settled in this technocratic world of transnational corporations?
Partly I already have reply this question.
This civilization is destined to explode inside and one day the pagan cults they will reconquer the planet. It's inevitable.
We are patient we will wait for the end of the modern world.

10. Italy and Rome in particular are thronged with hordes of emigrants from Africa and Asia, don't you think this problem is more serious then the rabbit assassination?
Oh yes, but is another problem.
This is a social (with a lot of intolerance here) problem. The globalization this has also brought.
On the bunnies or the other animals a problem of taking of conscience remains, of personal internal development.

11. I know that the people who makes neofolk and martial music often has the problems because of antifa, what is the situation in Italy with this?
There have been problems, at times also big, but currently the situation is calm.
This is a very complex matter.

12. What do you think about Mussolini? Do you equate him with Hitler?
Mussolini? What? Yes like Hitler!
Stalin was different from Hitler?
And were the Americans that have launched the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the correct ones? The good ones?
Or Mao Tze Tung? Pol Pot? Franco in Spain? And Argentina in the seventies under Pinochet?
Here it is able also to speak for times.
Nooooo! I don't like politics...
A dictatorship or of left or of right is always a dictatorship. But we can see that also this that is called democracy today...look at Bush and at the American Empire... is disgust.

13. You spend a lot of time on internet, do you have time to read the books? If yes what books are they?
Books? I like very much.
Currently I am reading a book of Winfried Mogge on the Wandervogel...you know? (Great!!!).The Runes of Marco Massignan and the Mystery of Stonehenge of Fernand Niel.

14. I see Italy the country where football became the cult - what team are you a fan of and what do you think about football fans?
Yes in Italy the football is really a cult. People would be able of to make demonstrations if there are not the games a day, but if bread costs so much it doesn't say anything anybody.
The Italians are a people of idiots.
I am fan of the ROMA FOOTBALL CLUB from when I was child, I have also a tattoo about...ah ah ah... but I am conscious that the football is alone business, money, too money...women and power...and politics a disgust.
Here you can see Italy : Religious power, Politics, Football, Television all is connected...

15. Can you imagine the Europe in 20 years? What will it be?
Europe in 20 years?
Oh yes...a big desert.

16. When you listen to music what the most important for you - philosophic and political ideas which the musicians are expressing in it or musical content? And will this music still be interesting for people if it has lost an ideology?
Heh, we say a whole the three things, is everything very important.
Certainly if a group voted him to the commercial one or it started to musically ramble philosophically or ideologically I would not find it hard to cancel him from my life, and it's happened, but I don't want to reveal names.

17. Tell about the last music discoveries at myspace net? What bands would you advise to notice to our readers?
A little known? Surely Sunset wings, Waldsonne and Silver light of the Moon from Russia and then Trinithos, Sibelian, Pantheon Legio Musica, Othala, Falkenstein, Waffenruhe, In Scherben, Die Weisse Rose, The Pride of Wolves, Bunkergeist. From Italy,Tears of Othila and Les Jumeaux Discordants.

18. If you come to Russia what places would you like to visit first?
The history! Volgograd,the old Stalingrad! A great emotion.

19. What would you like to wish our readers at parting?
The end of the modern world and the return to the simplicity. May the ancient Gods be with you. Odhin blesses .
