1. You played in Obscurum before, but now you have your own one-man project Urghar Moork. How was Urghar Moork born?
Hail and greetings, commander of the Fart-Fleet!!! Yes, well in fact, the entity 'Urghar Moork' was not born you see, I hate this particular process because it brings forth new life on earth!! 'Urghar Moork' carefully showed itself after a long spectral journey in my mind a couple of weeks before the split of Obscurum manifested.
Obscurum was dying slowly in those days, which is basically a good thing, and when at last the degeneration was complete, the day after Lugfest II - the remaining members went their own ways. Lord Chaos cultivated from the fungus in his cellar / regearsalroom the sick Thorax Serpenti syndrome...which turned out to be lethal, you only have to take one good look at Dooie Jef (Desecrator) to understand what I mean. I recently rejoined them and things are goin great!
Before this reunion, I had a number of unused riffs and some songs were because of that finished for my own project. I really kick on having full-control over something and in Urgahr Moork I'm responsable for everything. In Thorax Serpenti however, this thing is oppressed because of the fungus...

 

2. What does 'Urghar Moork' mean and why did you pick that name? It doesn't seem Tolkienish to me...
First of all, I wanted an original name...not like those stupid 'Darkside', 'Dark Side', Da Rkside' or even a Tolkienish name. I myself have to be creative (till my end) otherwise destruction immediately breaks out! So I started to think (with the maximum of braincells available) and whilst enjoying a chapter of the majestic comic-series 'Kronieken van de Zwarte Maan', this blasphemous name was put together. For me Urghar Moork embodies the life in the era I would like to live in (the comic only shows a glimp of where my Sehnsucht goes out to... Urghar is the demo who will fly me to Moork, where I shall reign in orgy with my baroness, Ana‰l de Moork!!!

 

3. You make 'Vlaemschen Zwarte Garde Metal', what do you mean with 'Zwarte Garde'? Does it refer to the elite Schutzstaffel-troops or what?
As you know, Black Metal is a thing for the elite, not for masses, there we have opium for!! When shall these untermensch-groups like 'Cradle of their Arses' and (a) 'Dummi (Quick) Burger (please)' be gassed away?! (I'll immediately take care of it, it's just a word...haha!!! -hf) And with them, all these trends and poseurs and yes...this neo-Black-Metal-movement (atmospheric melodic dark Black / Death or something). Especially this last thing. The only music worth to be called B.M. is raw, harsh, Satanic and misanthropic! (and maybe with some farts for you...h‚h‚). Haha, it almost happened with those hippies of Dimmu Boring I heard. Didn't they return from a fashion-show when their limo crashed or something? Unfortunately they survived, maybe becuase of their wedding with the Nuclear jews who gave them presents for that, like airbags and stuff, probabely... FUCK THE COMMERCE DAMMIT!!!
Anyway to continue, Vlaemsche because i'm ne Vlaeminck, Zwarte Garde because theyr are -and I am as you noticed - in every context the elite! Your interpretation and link to the SS is possible, but not necessary. The Zwarte Garde consists of strong individuals, equal in rank, no leaders (!), who are only longing for one thing: Restore the Ancient Kingdom!! Therefor Urghar Moork will most likely provide some musick during the upcoming genocide, wich is notwending methinks...

 

4. What means 'Vlaanderen' to you, and is there a great Flemish aspect in your music? Like what...
Vlaenderen is in my veins! It's hard to put under words, maybe these can: BLOOD & SOIL. Sometimes I find myself wandering through ages and centuries to taste a bit of my ancient blood (ancestors) and culture. This is ofcourse reflected in my music because I am what I am. I'm no pretender who is in school or where the fuck else somebody back normal...fuck the plebs!!! My lyrics are in Flemish because it's the only way I'm able to express myself properly. It has so many beautiful words and expressions... Why write in English, it leaves only borders, doesn't it?

 

5. I don't know you that well, but you seem like a very misanthropic guy to me...am I correct? Do you feel a strong hate towards the global human race?
Haa, misanthropy, I'm in you! You're indeed correct! I truely hate this life and I know that I'll be given a sign that heralds my wanted departure from this world... I'm looking forward to this day. After that, I'll experience my ultimate Sehnsucht in total DEATH...haa! A strong hate towards mankind? Well, 1/7 is muslim, all christians, jews, etc... I think so yes. But also when the factor religion is abscent, I can hardly stand people around me, humans make me feel a bit uncomfortable and yes, disgusted of the amount of ignorance and spiritual emptiness mostly shown! For me, nature gives more than a human...

 

6. How did you get into (Black) Metal and what are bands that surely have influenced you and Urghar Moork?
One day, a relatif let me listen to some stuff, Deicide I think it was, and I knew from the first notes this was my musick. Old 'Metalopolis' on the radio kept me awake for many late hours and it was then that I made compilation tapes with only the most harsh and brutal musick on...
I skipped the 'roots' like everybody is calling it these days, because I thought it sounded too whimpy for me! All that Metallica (for example)-shit etc. My fave bands are for example: Darkthrone (fr immer!!!), the true Mayhem (the old one, now this copycat of Marylin Manson on vocals, it's totally raped!), old Ancient Rites, old Enthroned (not the MCD, but I'm curious about the new CD), the boersk Lugubrum (I'm getting a slight impression of a hype, I hope they can weed it out!), Ved Buens Ende and a few others... I think Lugubrum and maybe Burzum influenced me a lot (the primitivity), also Tristitia is worth to mention...

 

7. Are you in good contact with Belgian underground bands, or from abroad? What do you think are very promising bands?
In the Belgian, and merely the Flemish underground, I keep contact with Grimgaert (Vlaenderen heerscht!) of 'Tswaert der Duusternesse' -zine, also Necropoulle of Majesty ofFools I'm writing with (watch out for the compilation tape!). Further on, I'm in close contact with the guys from Keltgar, Self-Inflicted and thorax Serpenti... This last one will come to destroy your towns like a behemoth thundering over your splashed body!!! band from abroad are: Botulistum (De Lage Lande, now this is Black Metal dammit! Heil heer Botmuijl!!!) and some more but not much... basically, I don't care what happens around!
Promising bands are Botulistum, maybe Fluisterwoud (Hail!) and Morcrof from Brazil. Last but not least Thorax Serpenti... desecrator has really an own style of writing riffs and I like that a lot!

 

8. In the past D.C. has never been pro-Obscurum? What did you feel when D.C. insulted the whole Obscurum -band just because of the trendy singer Mephi-Stoofvlees? I heard somewhere you even talked about the boycotting of Obscurum by several persons / ...?
About this first thing: past my caring and I don't want to bore your readers with this personal thing, but I think and consider shutting down amps during one of our gigs as a thing for eight-year-olds, not?
Anyway, about the boycot by several persons: WE EVEN GOT MORE REACTIONS FROM FUCKIN' MALAYSIA!!! In fact svereal inties, although we were present on the Lugburz-site...now can you explain that?!

 

10. What can we expect from Urghar Moork in the future? Do you also help out other bands?
I'm working on some new material which'll be probabely recorded in Midsummer. I'll use my old guitar to get a very bad and harsh sound! And I hope we can do the production in a new record-time: less than 5 minutes! (no joke!!!) The music will contain better riffing and'll sound much more misanthropically. Nihilsm will drop bu whilst hearing the primitivity!!
Further on I play in Thorax Serpenti, but also in Urn of Might. This last band is necessary to improve my skills and level of creativity, thus everything is back in balance. Probabely a demo in Midsummer, a very buzy time for me, so lots of sweat which will increase the beerconsumption...haha!

 

11. That was the interview...do you have some words left to say?
Yes, I want to than you, Lord HellFart for the respect, I hope we'll once battle side by side slashing Muslim-scum, etc...!
Further some greetings to Lord Chaos, Desecrator and Mijnheer Massak're: the fungus is ours! I also want to thank Ann from school for all her negativity lately, very very inspiring... and also a hello to my mates in Urn of Might. Last but again not least all my hate towards these Untermenschen who don't understand what Black Metal is about: may all my aggression errupt when you're near!! (Please provoke me, otherwise it won't work!). Vlaemsche Zwarte Garde Metal ist notwendig!!! Support it when the next Urghar moork-demo is released! Support the true Underground! Visit the max of gigs (not difficult, it demands not so much of an effort like those hardcore-bastards, who'll hopefully die because of it...hahaha...) No fun, no mosh, no core, no trends! Contacts are encouraged! Gesundheit and another pack of Palm waiting for me...
