Interview with Massgrav (Fastcore / Powerviolence From Sweden)
Sitting on a beach in Brazil, drinking cold beer, knowing our music brought us there. On stage in UK, in front of five drunk skinheads, knowing our music brought us there

“Hi, you know, we’ll be two or three hours late because we overslept, sorry for that. Also one of us just puked out of the driving car and we don’t think he’ll be able to get on stage tonight. Bye!”
“We played an unplugged show in a Tram years ago which was amazing !”
“I usually suffer during these pseudo-acoustic shows. no fun at all while playing fastcore on acoustic guitar !”
” One time in Croatia, just before playing, I put my microphone in a garland without bulb. I felt completely knocked out. To finally see a dolphin during the night ! “
From the start I’ve only recorded bands with people I get along with. So I have no bad memories. After we can of course talk about the day when I started the day by wiping a puddle of piss in the drums cabin…
As far as Feastem goes, we had to cancel our European tour and will most likely have to cancel the shows we had planned in June also. But what’s really driving me crazy is the fact that we had planned to try and get to play as many festivals as possible in 2021.
“We were squashed into a shipping container with loads of people in Slovenia and it was minus-13 outside with six foot snowdrifts.”
“We expect to have 17/18 shows in 7 countries and that’s what we like more in Europe that the distance are not so long in between so we can tour.”
“Right now after some quit years there is a new wave of kids in the punk scene. A lot of new bands formed and there are many shows mainly in TEL AVIV and HAIFA. Both cities have their D.I.Y spaces.”
“We express ourselves freely and unconventionally in grindcore format. […] I hope we can inspire Japanese grinders and scene will be more active in the future!”
