War hails to the crew of Commad Warhammer from Hungary! Do you know the metal scene of my country? What do you know about us? I am a big fan of the South American scene and many other comerades of mine raise their fist proudly when hearing the barbarian music of South America!
(Kommando II) First of all, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be here spreading the work of the command warhammer. is an honor and a huge pleasure in answering this interview for one of the most serious and competent fanzine of the hungary scene..... I do not know much about the Hungarian metal scene I would very much like to meet bands from your country.
But I have contacts with a great friend Attila Dudás hungarian fanzine editor, who give a great support to the command warhammer
we are very proud of you to meet some metal scene bands from our country brazil...... I hope someday to go out on a split CD or tape with a Hungarian band by some label from your country
Through Brazilian eye, how do you view the European scene? What do you see the most significant difference between the scenes of the two continents in?
( Kommando I) Greetings!
Europeans are more sophisticated than extreme music, look at Ulver, Arcturus and Samael, I do not know anything like it here, the South American is generally more conservative.
Please present us the the band members and tell us about how is the relationship within the band? Is it more like a friendship, or you just simply play music together? What made you to create this beast? What is your message to the world with it?
( Kommando II) COMMAND WARHAMMER Project created in 2015 by Kommando II
Formed in September 2015 in Sao paulo - sp Project: War Death/ Black Metal, in the formation of Kommando I: Guitar Bass and destruction. Kommando II: Vocal bombings and destructions
Creating an extreme Obscure Sound War Death/ Black Metal and all their raw strands and hateful of War Death/ Black Metal A real attack war against humanity
Record the first Demo entitled: Total War Command 4 sound + intro, war destroyer Drummer guest: L.N.W.WAR
We also play together in other bands of Black Metal
the message that passes us through the Command Warhammer to the world with this A true attack of wars against all humanity.
The relationship within the band, each musician comes from a different band '' Kommando I'' and the band (Krieg Filosophy / Without My Shadow)
And we all work together in partnerships creating musical arrangements
(Kommando II) I am a normal person, I am married, and I work every day, here in brazil and the total rush of everyday life........... But I'm proud of everything I do, whether it's work or as a musician, in the end, all this is in my professional context of life that I take
The name of the band is direct, agreessive. Does it have any story behind it, that you chose this war-like name? Do you know the band War Hammer Command? They are also from Brazil.
(Kommando II) I was looking for a strong name for the band, which was the same thematic of the sound that we are doing that was where the name Command Warhammer came from. it was through a lyrics from a Demo ours that we removed the name Command Warhammer, was a name that created the identity of the band until today....
Yes we know the band War Hammer Command? They are also from Brazil. but it is not from São Paulo they are from Londrina, Paraná, The band makes a very cool sound with themes that speaks of wars is nihilism and a pity that the band War Hammer Command did not record but not a new album.....but it is very well known too, all over the world.
What bands influenced you to vomit forth such destructive musical terror? I guess a genre which is easy to listen to was out of the question.
( Kommando II) Bands that most influenced the Command Warhammer were these, Panzerchrist / Limbonic Art / Seges Findere / Absurd / Nokturnal Mortum / Satanic Warmaster / Lord Belial / Kroda / Vargsang.....I know a lot of bands I'll talk about some that I like the most, Holdaar, Ohtar, Wolfkrieg, Mondfinsternis,Velimor, Arkuda,The Woods of Solitude, Rodonitza, Russkiy Styag, Moloth,Wotanorden, Temnozor, There are many very interesting bands that I do not remember at the moment.... but all these bands makes a really cool sound....
In your opinion what is the reason to play aggressive music in general? To keep the balance with one's soul?
(Kommando II) Command Warhammer is a Black / Death Metal band, we torture our instruments to get them the best they can do, we like to play aggressive music in general because it is the context of the band, and make an aggressive sound with the musical influences we have, The next works of Command Warhammer, is going this more brutal and what we want leaves each album released.
Command Warhammer has been around for few years only but you already have 4 releases out. Congratulations! Many bands polish their releases for a long time, having re-written the tracks a lot of time. I feel you have not chosen that path, you do compose in a more visceral, instinctual way, the tracks get written, recorded and released, and you go forward like a blitzkrieg. Am I right in this? Please tell us about your musical attitude.
(Kommando II) Thank you very much, we have four releases are they, Total War Command [Demo 2016 CD] Anti-ISIS Coalition! [Split 2017, 7'' vinyl] Nuclear Baptism [Split2017 CD] War Total War [Full-length 2017] this and the new album that came out with 10 tracks + 4 bonus tracks of the Demo 2016, We are very pleased with this release, that shows a more brutal sound is with guitars more worked technically.........Kommando II, and a great musician he creates all guitar arrangements, when the songs are finished I record the vocals, we work in partnerships with the band, and we really like what makes us, and show our work to the world, all works of Command Warhammer when this 100% ready sends us to Label Barbatos Productions, which is responsible for all Command Warhammer releases. We are very pleased with all this support that Label Barbatos Productions is giving us until today.
Was the war concept a predefined thing or it came in a more more instinctual way? Can it be the reason that South America has not always been a peaceful land?
(Kommando I) Althoug Brazil does not have a history of wars like Europe, we have our feelings, the anguish, the anger… Everything comes instinctively.
The logo of the band is also spectacular, the barbed wire looks great in it, but you actually have two logos. What decides which one is used? Do you find it important that a band should have a great logo? Who did these logos?
(Kommando II) The band's first logo still uses it,
We decided to make an official logo for the band that is in our Full-length 2017 and very important for a band a great logo well working.... this logo was made by a friend Alfredo Neuner Glunk him and from Brazil (São Luís, Maranhão)
Your first demo was released in 2016 entitled ”Total War Command”. If I am right, it was put out in 50 copies in CD format. Why did you press only so few copies? Was it intentional or did you have financial limits? Please present us this stuff in more detail.
( Kommando II) The first demo 2016 was released independently in 130 copies was all exhausted very fast, in 2017 the band re-releases with another different cover
this demo is rare to find her with the first original cover
In the next year your ”Kommando War” material came, with one track under the title ”Squads of the Commando”. It can seen that a cover was made for this but it was not released in physical format, correct? To be honest, I do not see the point in such digital ”releases”. What was your aim with this?
(Kommando II) That single that takes its name from (Kommando War Single 20170) with the song Squads of The Kommando it was released Independent in 7' vinyl single-sided limited edition in 11 hand numbered copies on black vinyl 11 hand numbered copies on transparent vinyl.
The same year you also had a split release with the telling title ”Anti-ISIS Coalition!”. It is quite a straightforward title. Tell us about this coalition. What is the message of the song ”My Honour and my Pride”? Extra congrats for the cover art!
(Kommando II) We were invited by the label Barbatos Productions
to participate in a split vinyl with the band Headless Berserkers of Sweden, and we accepted the proposal and the 7'Vinyl (Anti-ISIS Coalition! Split 2017) was released in limited edition, transparent vinyl in 33 copies
The message of the song (My Honor and my Pride) of this split vinyl
speaks of our honor and our pride because man has to be proud of everything he is and of everything he does and what he is capable of in life......who possesses qualities necessary to the performance in his works
The title "Anti-ISIS Coalition!" was the owner of the label Barbatos Productions who gave this name to the vini
It was released on a Russian label, Barbatos Productions in 7” format, limited to 33 copies. What should we know about this label? As far as I see, it strongly supports the NSBM scene. How did this label come into the picture? Who contacted the other party? What's your relationship with Headless Berserkers?
(Kommando II) The guy who owns Label Barbatos Productions always supports us with excellent work on your part thing that neither another label did for us here in Brazil
Barbatos Productions believes in our sound, and in Command warhammer....
Us from Command Warhammer, we do not have contact with the band Headless Berserkers
all releases in split cd or vinyl and the label that chooses the band that will leave together with us
As far as I can see, you were satisfied with the Russian so your next output was also out in CD format with also Russian Heresiarkhes, in 100 copies. What should we know about this band?
(Kommando II) We were very pleased with the release of this split cd Nuclear Baptism Split (2017) Heresiarkhes / Command Warhammer
Split CD in 100 copies in Digipak, limited edition
Heresiarkhes and an excellent black metal band from Russia
I have contact with Leo Skjegg but we do not speak much
Which releases of yours are still available? Which part of the world your name has spread so far? How much time do you spend for promoting the band? From which countries you receive interest?

How is your relationship with the neighbouring countries's scenes?
(Kommando I) A little below the desirable, just Mexico and in the rest is everything Europe, especially in the east.
What is your opinion about the Asean scene? Any contacts from that part of the world?
(Kommando I) We don´t have any contact with then
One of my favourite war metal hordes form Brazil is Ravendark's Monarchal Canticle, I even interviewed them few years ago. What do you think of their works? Another fave of mine is Goatpenis. Who would you recommend that are worthy of support?
(Kommando II) 2 excellent bands Ravendark's Monarchal Canticle & Goatpenis
I am a close friend of the Wargun drums [Caio Bildner]
these two bands have excellent works in cds and vinyl are two bands that I am proud of here in Brazil
There is a fanzine connected to the band, Pagan Hammer which is over ten issues now. Please tell us about this activity. How well-known is it in your country? Is it a BM-centered 'zine, or do you deal with other genres as well? How often do you put out an issue? Which countries did you send it?
(Kommando II) I am an editor and I work with the magazine, Pagan Hammer Zine, where I interview black metal bands from Brazil I am very proud of this work that I do
Could you recommend fanzines from Brazil who are active and worthy? Or maybe could you mention some that are rip-offs? How is the relationship between 'zine editors? Do you support each other?
(Kommando II) Look at a fanzine that I have a lot of contact and Zine Death Metal from my friend Andrêy Ferraz
this fanzine is well known all over the world for doing an excellent job

During the course of history, there were many wars and to this day there are smaller or bigger conflicts. Which period of history inspires you, I am thinking of, for instance, the two world wars here. What is good and useful in war, and what is bad?
(Kommando I) Yes, the two great wars… They are soucers of inspiration and good part is to present ourselves with the real human face, the bad part… It is the communists putting the blame on capitalism saying that their ideology will be the end of all evil.
Is the bursting out of a war a planned strategic step that has an aim, and the question is only if it goes off well or not? What do you thnik of this? Do you think there is already a starting date of World War III?
(Kommando I) I believe that it will happen sooner or late, but with no definite date, man does not live and does develop without wars.
Have you ever taken part in an armed conflict, or do you have personal experience of that kind?
(Kommando I) Nothing.
What do you think of the concept that the world is controlled by a handful of business men, and everything in this world happens according to their plan, with more or less success?
(Kommando I) Too bad, some five old jews, other five old iluminatis and maybe some fucking reptilians.
Is AIDS an artifical biological weapon to reduce population?
( Kommando I) Biological, we know this
It's an interesting contrast that whichever country has the most black gold (oil) is generally the poorest country and is always a war-zone. What do you think of this?
( Kommando I) The exploitation of man by man is a natural as defecating, always…
I think you hve already heard of the HAARP system. All kinds of ”nice” things can be done with it, like controlling weather, but also more serious stuff like maniupulating the mind. Is this thing real or an exagerrated thing?
(Kommando I) Conspiracy theory, we will only know if it is real if we feel in our own skins
What's your opinion about George Orwell's ”1984”?
(Kommando I) Humanity must free itself from the concept of god and devil, and admit that it itself does good and evil… I like this.
In your opinion, what social system would be ideal to live in? Or there is no such thing until man exists on the world?
(Kommando I) The open market, without dictators, state control and religion control, is time to be free… All of us.
What's your opinion about alcohol's effect? Do you like the effect of it?
( Kommando I) I drink a lot, i´m drinking beer right now, I don´t use other drungs like marijuana or cocaine, but I don´t have problems with this… Let the man be free and thank´s for the interview, we are the WAR!
Sorry for taking this chat away from the topic of musical activity. Coming to the end of the interview, please tell us about the future of the band. Your plans, etc...
