Here we got the drummer Cesar answering our questions. – Interview by Pyan Nathias [28.08.2020]
Hello. Introduce us about Days Of Hate and the band members?
We started Days of Hate in May 2012 in São Paulo, Brazil. In the beginning of the band we were more a powerviolence band with grindcore influences but line-up changed many times and consequently how we sound too. About 8 different members played in the band and Samuel is a member for about 4 years. Since Samuel joined the band, we are sounding more noisecore, which is a king of noise that I absolutely love. Since 2012 we are playing local gigs non-stop and also in 2013 we toured the United States. We went on a full month tour in June 2013 there. Here in Brazil, we try our best to keep the band as active as possible, playing live as often as we can, releasing splits, records, organizing gigs and festivals. We also love to book international bands when they are on tour here. About the current line-up, at moment Days of Hate is me, Cesar, on drums, and Samuel on vocals and guitar.
Please describe in details about your music and sound?
Well, as I said, when we started the band, we had a different line-up. So we were more into powerviolence stuff. And then, line-up changed and we were more old school grindcore. Line-up changed again and then Samuel joined the band. So we add some more influences of noisecore in our sound and this is the way we have been sounding since then. Our goal is keep making noise and sounding as extreme as possible. Also, keep the band as a duo. We were a 3 piece band before, even a 4 piece we were too, but in 2 piece, Days of Hate sounds better. I love the current line-up and it won’t change anymore.
What bands / things that influenced you in songwritings?
Many bands have influenced us. Too many to mention. Bands from Brazil I would say Ratos de Porão, Brigada do Ódio, Noise, Sick Terror, DER… and international bands, a band that has a huge impact on our sound is Sete Star Sept. They are a huge influence for us. We also love Siege, Magrudergrind, Wormrot, Sakatat, Onanizer and many others!
Let us know some of the essential releases from Days Of Hate?
Since we started the band we try to release at least on record every year. So since 2012, we are putting out records with new songs. But I would say my favorites are: A Mão Que Alimenta o Ódio (2015), Distimia (2016), Do Oco Ao Vazio (2018).
Please explain futher about your latest / recent recordings?
Do Oco Ao Vazio, and Espelho da Derrota were recorded at the same day, at the same studio session, that’s why they sound similar, I mean, talking about the quality of recording. Nothing on the album were rehearsed previously and all the songs were recorded as improvisation. We just startedto make noise and jam and then the record was done. We also have another one that will be released late this year. We love to make this kind of record, because we fell ourselves free to make noise!
Report a bit about current Grindcore scene in your hometown?
Brazil has a small but good scene. We have great grindcore bands as such as DER, Desalmado and Facada. Also, I love Vermenoise, Poluição Sonora Gratuíta and Existência Miserável. The scene is doing ok, we I said before, we are trying to keep everything really active, so we do our best to help bands, book gigs and organize tours. This year we were supposed to go on tour with Sedem Minut Strachu, from Slovakia, but the tour was cancelled because of covid….
Tell us something about Revolta Records?
Revolta Records is our very own label. We use this label to distribute our stuff here in Brazil. We release digitally but also we print CD’s when we can afford that, t-shirts, stickers, and also we use this label to organize some gigs and festival. We do everything by ourselves in a really DIY way. That’s a very small label because we are always in lack of money, so we can’t print lots of CD’s. So we always release in a very small quantity.
Thanks for answering. Final words?
I’d like to thank you guys for your interest on our band, for your time and for the opportunity. We would love to go on tour in Asia someday, and if it happens, for sure we would love to play some gigs in Malasya! All the best and take care!
