“I’m getting closer to a fully developed sound I can claim as my own signature sound. Being forced to record myself and learn about mixing has made my vision a lot more clear.” –Jaysin

İstanbul – New Jersey

Jaysin, first of all, thank you very much for the interview. It is an gratifying for us to feature a talented Mc like you in our magazine. Even though we sometimes find social media a bit pretentious, I suppose “old-school bangers” find each other everywhere, somehow; what do you think? 

Its a fact dude, real recognize real. Meta is really good at burying the real and boosting the fake with their “algorithim”. So it’s a real good feeling when you finally come across something you can actually resonate with. In this feed of phony garbage cess pool content that these apps drown us with on a daily basis, it’s definitely a breath of fresh air talking to you lately. Thanks for reaching out, man. I’m happy to be doing this interview and speaking my mind.

Kenzie Cakez XX Jaysin The Sin God, Jersey Nights X26

March 11th & 12th 2026 Jaysin The Sin God rocking 2 stops on the east coast leg of HARDCORE HORRORCORE TOUR with LSP & Danny Diablo. The Bunker Long Island City. Dingbatz Clifton NJ.

2 MANY BLUNTS, 2 MANY CLOTHING !!

From what I gather from your recent posts, it seems you’re currently on a summer vacation with your girlfriend; would you like to briefly share where you’re traveling and what you’re doing? 

It’s not a vacation actually. We decided to buy an RV and just travel the USA full time pretty much. We make OnlyFans/Porn content, check her out at Kenziecakez.com. The music keeps my ass going to different states to perform. So we don’t really need to be local to any one area. I guess I’ll make my way to Canada and Mexico too eventually, maybe. Right now we are in California, we drove all the way here from Massachusetts. Right down the middle of the USA, straight up drove from coast to coast. Wanted to get to Cali before it gets cold on the east coast again. Just stopped in Denver over the weekend and rocked out on GORE FEST 20. It was super sick, big shout out to SCUM and LSP for inviting me to rock the stage! I’m also a licensed retailer for 2 MANY BLUNTS CLOTHING now so I’m looking for good West Coast events to vend at this spring and winter.

Jaysin The Sin God remixes 19 songs from current Billboard Top 40 in 2025

“I’m a master at turning curses into blessings, I got that real magic. I can take the freakiest most fucked up nightmares and manifest them into my most desirable dreams.” –the Sin God

You mentioned a falling-out with the Dj you collaborated with on the long-running PROCESS series; how has this situation affected your workflow and the new album which you stated you would be producing yourself (Positively or negatively)? Is the album currently on hold?

Well you know we are utilizing every single code in the 43 over here man. So at the end of the day it’s up to me how I let things affect me. I am no stranger to cutting people off and moving forward, anyone who listens to my music understands that is a huge part of who I am and what I represent. I’m a master at turning curses into blessings dude, I got that real magic. I can take the freakiest most fucked up nightmares and manifest them into my most desirable dreams until I’m living the reality I’m happy with. In 2025 me and Deadboy Grim did a super sick run. He sent me mad beats. I recorded and mixed TP6 on my own in my apartment, like 5 singles and 3 EPs. Plus I made a couple music videos and can honestly say those releases are what I’m most proud of. That got me 100+ new monthly listeners on Spotify. That’s not a “career changing difference” you know but it’s the most notable progress that can be tracked in my data and that’s exciting to see for me. I’ve also crossed paths with some really good guys to work with in New Jersey. I’m working on a collab album with Don Campan from Waking The Cadaver right now and we are recording it with Don Cheegro over at All The Smoke Studios in Jersey City. The first single is ready and dropping at the end of this month. Its called SNUFFED IRL.

“NYC is a melting pot like they say, also the birth place of Hip Hop and Metal THRIVES in that city. So it only makes sense that all the dope underground culture got smashed together over these last 2 decades.” –Jaysin the Sin God

I assume you’ll be moving forward with Deadboy Grim from now on?

Yeah man I really like how Deadboy works. He’s super easy to communicate with, very clear and upfront  about what he wants to do. He adapts to the artist he is working with it seems like. He can make the sound I love. I’m down to work with any person who can produce a sound that fits into my world as long as they can be transparent when they are dealing with me. Deadboy has been really good at both of those things since we started working, so im continuing to work with him as we approach another brand new year.

When we look at the current hip-hop scene or at least the NYHC scene you’re part of, along with Force 5 Recs. and its circle, it appeals to a wide range of tastes, spanning everything from hardcore punk to rap music. Was it always this way, or has the language of the streets changed over time, especially with the influence of fusion genres like rapcore emerging after the 2000s?

Everything in life grows and evolves just like a plant does. Music and art will continue changing just like everything else is. Some music genres die off. Hip Hop is the recreation of everything so it can never die. Metal is too god damn tuff to die. Rap and Metal will remain forever. The fact more and more Rappers are collabing with Metal bands is going to strengthen the power they both have and make them thrive even longer. NYC is a melting pot like they say, also the birth place of Hip Hop and Metal THRIVES in that city. So it only makes sense that all the dope underground culture got smashed together over these last 2 decades. I grew up in a small rural town where nothing dope exists. Free thinking and creativity is oppressed and punished. I’m truly honored to have been around all the dope shit happening in NYC and NJ the last 2 years. Shout out to Danny Diablo & Gutterchrist for accepting me into their world. I deeply appreciate the experience I am gaining and the connections I’m making thanks to the love they show me.

Music and art ain’t about rules and restrictions; it’s about coming together and making new shit happen. –Jaysin the Sin God

I suppose the conservative, exclusionary fan type of the 80s and 90s gradually gave way to a more urban but subculture-oriented hipster music audience, or perhaps I’m mistaken?

Yeah man the way I see it humanity is just evolving. Love and Hate are very powerful. They can both make you feel good or fulfilled. When we love something we think it’s the best thing ever and everyone should agree. When we hate something, we get pissed and want everyone to follow. I think we are realizing now that love is just better man. It’s better to compliment someone than to complain about them. Maybe when a culture emerges, an idea starts to thrive, the first people involved want to keep it pure, ya know? They love what they created so much they fear anything changing it or wrecking it. So out of fear, their negative emotions fester and dark thoughts start to influence behavior. They start making up all these rules that don’t need to be there. Music and art ain’t about rules and restrictions; it’s about coming together and making new shit happen. Express what you feel or think in a creative way. That’s it. It’s all the same shit at the end of the day so the only logical thing for an artist to do is collaborate and appreciate the differences. That’s happening a lot these days and I’m proud to be alive in this era.

Or did offshoots sprout while the canonical, traditional path continued along its own historical trajectory? As an MC who came up at the very source of this scene, how do you assess the difference between the 90s and the 2000s, both in terms of the musicians and the listeners?

Rap in the 90s was alot more poetic, even the gangster shit in my opinion. The early 2000s rap became more about partying, trapping, and playing the part of a rapper. Looking “cool” like a superstar or whatever. Seems like the fans of the 90s rap are more well rounded haha! People appreciated deep thinkers like Pac and understood the themes you heard on like, a Geto Boys record was just for entertainment like horror movies are. They realized rappers like Big L and Biggie were painting pictures from their personal experiences for others to get an inside look. Now a days, new fans listen to some shit like NBA Youngboy and literally think they are in the same fucking gang as this goober. It’s hilarious. Alot has changed for sure. I was born in 93. In my pre teens I listened to mad 90s shit. Had mad old CDs. 2pac, Geto Boys, Bone Thugs, Big L, Nas. There was no Spotify and shit yet. In my early teens my friends were all into trap music but I wasn’t yet. Thought I was a “Hip Hop Elitist” hahaha! I liked Vinnie Paz, ICP, Eminem and 50 Cent. Those were the only current artists I liked at the time. Turned 16, started driving, threw some subwoofers in my car and got all into Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Boosie, all that shit. But yeah i think the 90s seems more pure and fun when the new generation of rap is more depressing and material minded than ever.

“I can only hope to appeal to whoever finds my music, picks it up and decides it is special to them.” –Jaysin the Sin God

For instance, a more metallic style of hip-hop like that of ZillaKami and SosMula began to emerge; what is your take on these movements? Over time, a new rhythm and vocal style known as “Trap” appeared, and groups like $uicideboy$ and Ghostemane caused quite a sensation among the youth. There is also the British genre known as Grime, and nowadays, the Horrorcore is very widespread. Considering this entire evolutionary process, what kind of audience do you appeal to or aspire to reach specifically as JAYSIN THE SIN GOD?

Well hold on a minute, Trap Music did NOT appear because of groups like suicide fucking boys hahaha NO WAY! Trap music was made popular by artists with REAL street affiliations like Gucci Mane and Jeezy. Young Scooter (RIP) and all those guys are the real life trappers. I never got into Suicide Boys. I actually dissed them on my old release “Knocked All The Way Off”. Those guys ABSOLUTELY ripped off the ENTIRE sound pioneered by Memphis rappers like Lord Inf and even the Memphis artist before him. Nothing is original about those guys and their group name is generic as hell. Its cringey as fuck to me. Commercial corporate rap in a “street culture” packaging. They fucking suck. I heard they are trying to push Christianity on their fans now. Their entire history makes me LOL. I can only hope to appeal to whoever finds my music, picks it up and decides it is special to them. I notice that metal heads like my stuff, I never expected that but they do so now im listening to alot of Metal. Even mixing rap with the metal by collabing wit guys like Don Campan from Waking The Cadaver. Alot of my listeners are working class people, alot of Juggalos of course gotta mention the Juggalos haha! They love my shit, WHOOP WHOOP!


JAYSIN X DON CAMPAN & SNUFFED IRL !!

“ll never use AI to write a lyric or generate a beat. That just sounds disgusting to me.” –Jaysin the Sin God

The topic of artificial intelligence and music is very much in the spotlight these days, it’s a subject of active debate. As someone who brings a fresh perspective straight from the streets, is there anything you’d like to say about this? Do you incorporate AI into your work, or do you stick to “old-school” digital methods?

Man I used Grok to generate a picture I used to make cover art with in Photoshop and they CRUCIFIED me on IG for it hahaha! I’m driving cross country right now, I am editing vlog footage almost everyday, rehearsing daily for GORE FEST and networking on the phone a lot. I got the mix back from Cheegro for SNUFF’D IRL. I wanted to upload to the distributor immediately so it would drop the day of GORE FEST. I didn’t want to spend a week taking raw photos, then editing or waiting on another designer to make the cover for me. So I used AI to generate the pic i wanted to edit. So my opinion on AI in music is this; The inevitable integration of AI in the music industry has already happened. All your favorite artists are in the studio using plugins that utilize AI. Adobe, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, all the software that is used inside EVERY SINGLE STUDIO is now utilizing AI as a tool. These haters don’t even notice that whether they like it or not AI is already in everything they support. Hell dude, IG is using an AI algorithm to show these crybabies my shit so they can comment on it lol Are they gonna stop using instagram because it heavily supports and utilizes AI? Fuck no. The people crying are the sheep consuming too much fear propaganda. This is the same shit as people who hated on the internet. Or streaming. Now they all use it. Look man, these fucking supervillan billionaires are gonna run the world, and we are gonna just live in it whether we like it or not dude. All i can do as a peasant living under the powerful elite is use what I have so I can do what the fuck I gotta do. If someone is generating full on AI SONGS and claiming they produced the music and wrote the lyrics thats fucking weird and i think its super whack. But THE TECHNOLOGY ERA is the era we live in, so this world is gonna keep on Tech-ing bro. I’ll never use AI to write a lyric or generate a beat. That just sounds disgusting to me.


100% Uncensored Democracy: K!LL TV

“If you’re too fucking lazy to make instagram content, what makes you think you’d have what it takes to compete in the 90s? GET REAL!” –Sin God

We are living through strange times for the music industry and the world of culture and art. On one hand, access to music has become incredibly easy thanks to digital platforms; on the other, some musicians complain that due to their presence on social media they are perceived merely as digital content creators, and that their hard work and artistry are being exploited to serve platforms like Instagram, or Spotify which are backed by capital from AI-driven arms manufacturers. Where do you position yourself in these debates? Is there anything, positive or negative, that you would like to express as a rapper?

Most of these people are lazy and want to complain about putting work in. I guess they all think they are brilliant writers like Ozzy Osbourne who should be catered to on a big fancy tour so they can strictly focus on their genius writing? Get fucking real. Just because you want to be a writer or performer dont mean you dont have other responsibilities as an artist seeking a career. ESPECIALLY if you are independent. 2Pac humped blow up dolls on stage for DIGITAL UNDERGROUND before he was a rapper. He made his connections that way. These crybabies would never go that far to chase their bitch ass dreams.Yea we all have to create content on these apps these days. We can be strategic and gain a following for free. That’s huge. It’s a blessing. What was the option before this? Stand on the street corner in a major city and hope a big time record exec sees ya? NEWS FLASH. If youre too fucking lazy to make instagram content, what makes you think youd have what it takes to compete in the 90s? GET REAL! Make the content so people know you exist or just keep making music nobody will ever hear. Those are the 2 options for independent creators with little to no budget.

Kill TV Launches Uncensored Storefront…

-Jaysin the Sin God is producing original uncensored music videos exclusively for Kill TV.-

Now, with the rise of digital media and YouTube, it feels as though everything from every cultural level is crammed onto the same screen; are we left to discover for ourselves the best, most reliable sources to follow?

Absolutely. Well kinda. I’ll tell you about a place you can find stuff you won’t see anywhere else in a second. But yes. Oversaturation is real. There’s a lot of noise on these major apps that we all use, you’re not gonna hop on YouTube and just see the dopest shit ever on some well known channel like No Jumper. Ya gotta keep your ear to the streets. Its aint gotta be about these popular apps like Meta and YouTube all the time. The owner of that new site KILLTV.ME literally wrote me an email and reached out personally. Invited me on his website last year. Now it’s my favorite site to upload on. If he didn’t put the work in on some independent guerilla shit I would never know about KTV. But I’m glad he did man. On this site, I can do whatever I want. I got Kenzie Cakez spreading holes butt naked in the TOP FLOOR VIEWS music video. I can’t do that on youtube. You gotta pay me to see this on KTV. It’s easy to monetize myself as an artist here without jumping through all kinda hoops like they make you do on these huge apps we use. It’s hard to make money on youtube and IG as an artist that raps the way I do. So I appreciate guys like KTV. This guy aint no corporate fucker with endless money ya know, hes literally spending his personal money and time to do something that will help the artist nobody else cares about helping. Guy could have took a permanent vacation to fucking Thailand with the money he put into this shit probably. So YES we are left to ourselves to discover the REAL shit. But we aint gotta depend on these corporate app “algorithims” to show us what we like. When you have true intentions and know what you’re about you usually end up finding what you are looking for. Keep your eyes open and your ear to the streets.

Highly Contagious Thrashcore Madness from Istanbul Streets: HAZARDOUS

> HAZARDOUS Yeni Kadro: Hamit, Kuzey Alemdar, Deniz Ege Aydın ve meşhur davulcu Eray Han > FREEDOM BEYOĞLU <

“Evet, harika bir geceydi, beklediğimizden çok daha fazla insan gelmişti, ve hepsi de coşkuluydu, o gece, Hazardous’u kurduğumuza değdiğini hissettim; ses sorunlarını da umursamadım, çok eğlendik!” –Hamit Özmen

1980’lerin Thrash Metal sahnesi, dünyada pek çok metalciye müzik yapma hayalini aşılamıştır, aradan onca zaman geçmesine rağmen Heavy Metal yaşıyor ve yurdumuzda tek tük dahi olsa sahneyi coşturan birileri var çok şükür! Yıllardır bu alanda müzik yapan bir Thrashfire gerçeği var. Bununla birlikte ruhu delişken ama bu işi ciddi biçimde kovalayan genç bir gruptan daha bahsedeceğim bugün sizlere:

Şiddet ve Kaos’tan hoşlanıyorsanız Thrash’e dalın!

Cem Kurtuluş’un 2024 yılında yaptığı söyleşi metninden derlenmiştir.

Ankara’da kanı thrash ile kaynayan, 80’lerin heavy metalini kendine dert edinmiş yirmilerindeki bir avuç gencin Kadıköy’de benzer bir atmosferde bir araya gelerek oluşturdukları keskin bir Thrash Metal grubu Hazardous. Müziklerindeki inatçılığa konserlerinde de devam ediyorlar. Ekibin kadrosu Eradicate’den tanıdğımız davulcu Eray Han’ın da gelmesiyle son halini alıyor.

2023 yılında yayınladıkları 4 parçalık EP “Highly Contagiaous” ile müzik dünyasına hızlı bir giriş yapan Hazardous 80’ler ve sonrası old school dönemin günümüzdeki modern karşılığı; ve buna paralel liriklerinde klasik korku sineması ağırlıklı bir ton belirginleşmesi de hiç tesadüf değil.

HIGHLY CONTAGIAOUS

Hamit Özmen Anlatıyor:

Hazardous 2019’un son çeyreğinde ben ve Mete (-ex bass/vokal) tarafından Ankara’da kuruldu. Önceleri birkaç konser veririz, içip eğleniriz kafasıyla kurmuştuk grubu ama 2020’de pandemi patladı, ve eve kapanıp şarkı yazmaya başlayınca, daha ayakları yere basan bir grup haline dönüştüğümüzü fark ettik. Pandemi süreci, benim İstanbul’a taşınmam, üstüne askere gitmem gibi nedenlerle uzunca bir süre pasif kalan Hazardous, 2022’nin sonlarına doğru davulcumuz Eray’ın ve hemen ardından Deniz’in de katılımıyla tekrar aktif hale geldi. Sonrasında farklı bir şehirde oturmanın getirdiği zorluklardan dolayı Mete, gruptan ayrıldı ve Kuzey’in kadroya dahil olmasıyla şu anki halini aldı.

Cem Kurtuluş: “Hazardous” ismi nereden geliyor?

“Tek kelimelik ve kullanılmayan bir grup bir ismi kalmamıştır herhalde Heavy Metal dünyasında!” iddiasıyla kendimiz için uydurduğumuz bir isimdi Hazardous, ve zamanla bu çok hoşumuza gitti; bize cuk oturduğunu farkettik ve hayranlarımızla birlikte benimsedik.


Hazardous, live at Kadıköy Sahne, Deathground Organization 2023, İstanbul

Hazardous’u ilk kez Deathground Organization tarafından düzenlenen, yabancı grupların da katılım gösterdiği Kadıköy Sahne’de izledik. O gün salonda yaşanan ses problemlerine rağmen, ruhunuzu öylesine sahneye taşıdınız ki bizler için günün yıldızı sizdiniz. Ve eski kafa thrash ruhunu yansıtmanız da cabası! O günkü konsere ilişkin nasıl tepkiler geldi?

Evet, harika bir geceydi beklediğimden fazla insan ve hepsi de fazlaca coşkuluydu, o gece, tam olarak Hazardous’u kurduğumuzda yaşamak istediğimiz şeyleri yaşattı bize; bu yüzden ses sıkıntılarını hiç umursamadım ve acayip eğlendim!! Yayınlanmış herhangi bir materyali bile olmayan, ilk konserlerini verecek bir grup olarak bize güvenip, organizasyona dahil eden Deathground ekibine de ne kadar teşekkür etsek az! Sonrasında da gayet güzel geri dönüşler aldık dinleyicilerden, sound’a rağmen performansımıza gelen övgüler, bizi daha da gazladı.


Oldschool Ryhme, Alış buna home-boy !!


Geçtiğimiz dönem “Higly Contagious” gibi 80’ler thrash metal atmosferini aratmayan bir işe imza attınız, EP’ye gelen tepkiler nasıldı?

Hamit: Açıkçası beklentilerimin biraz altında oldu, ama daha iyisini yapmak için bizi motive etti elbette ve şimdilik gayet memnunuz.

Deniz: Umrumda bile değil, ben beğendim ve önemli olan da bu! Yine de önümüzdeki sezon, bizi eleştirenlerin göt olmasını izlemek çok güzel olacak.

Hazardous “Two Nights of Thrash” Konser Afişi + Artwork (2024)
Bir Dilim Pizza !!

Hamit Özmen yeni albüm sonrası Exterminal’e konuştu.

“Çok yetenekli sanatçıların olduğu bir sahne. Sadece müzisyenlerin değil aynı zamanda çok yetenekli fotoğrafçıların, tasarımcıların, ressamların ve illüstratörlerin de olduğu bir alan. Azınlık sayılabilecek bu kitlenin canlı kalabilmesi için herkes birbirine destek olmalı. Hamit’e katılıyorum, yerli gruplarımızı kesinlikle daha çok desteklemeli.” –Kuzey Alemdar

Konserlerden devam edelim istiyorum Traitor ile birlikte çaldığınız geceden ve organizasyondan bahsetmenizi istesek biraz, neler söylersiniz?

Hamit: Konser biletlerininin sold-out olduğunu öğrenince baya bir heyecanlandığımızı hatırlıyorum; hem de aynı gün Katatonia ve rezalet yağmura rağmen katılım tahminimizden yüksek olmuştu. Traitor yıllardır dinlediğim, sevdiğim bir grup; konser teklifi geldiğinde bir saniye bile düşünmeden “evet!” dedik ve organizasyon ekibinin ilgisi sayesinde en iyi sahne tecrübelerimizden biri oldu ve gelenlerin eğlenmiş bir şekilde ayrıldığını görmek ise ayrı bir kıvanç!

Deniz: İnanılmaz eğlenceli bir geceydi. Organizasyonda başta Yuşa olmak üzere herkes elinden gelenin en iyisini yaptı, katıldığımız en iyi organizasyonlardan biriydi.

Kuzey: Traitor grup üyeleri çok tatlı insanlardı. Sahne öncesinde Deniz ve ben kuliste ısınırken Gerd geldi ve sohbet etmeye başladık. Organizasyondan ne kadar memnun olduğunu, Yuşa’nın kendileriyle çok ilgilendiğini ve daha önce katıldıkları festivallerin hiç birinde bu kadar iyi karşılanmadıklarını dile getirdi. Biz de Gerd ile aynı fikirdeyiz, Hazardous olarak organizasyondan çok memnun kaldık.

Klasik bir soru olacak belki ama “Highly Contagious” i dinlediğimizde korku filmleriyle haşır neşir olduğunuzu hissediyoruz, etkilendiğiniz korku filmleri, ilham aldığınız grup ve ya gruplar kimlerdir?

Hamit: Genelde 80’ler korku sineması, Cronenberg ve Carperter yapımlarının hayranıyımdır, bu iki yönetmenin sevdiğim filmleriyle ilgili birer şarkımız bile var. Gene de Hazardous özelinde korku sineması etkisini önümüzdeki süreçte azaltmayı düşünüyorum. Tabii ki yer yer değineceğiz ama biraz farklı şeylerden de bahsetmek istiyorum. Tematik açıdan etkilendiğim gruplar için Tankard, F.K.Ü., Municipal Waste, GWAR ve Gama Bomb diyebilirim, Thrash harici Mortician, Exhumed, Aborted, Fulci gibi özellikle sample kullanımlarından bol bol etkilendiğim gruplar da var.

Deniz: Kendi adıma korkudan ziyade içinde korku öğeleri barındıran RoboCop, Alien, Terminator, Judge Dredd ve Predator gibi karakterlerden ilham alıyorum. Aynı zamanda çizgi roman kültüründen öğeler barındıran Anthrax, Municipal Waste ve klasikleşmiş old school thrash metal grupları benim için her zaman ilham kaynağı olmuşlardır.


Oldschool Ryhme, Alış buna home-boy !!

Yerli Metal sahnemiz hakkında ne düşünüyorsunuz?

Eray: Scene olarak hızlıca gelişiyoruz, her genre’dan çok iyi gruplar çıkıyor. Şimdi hepsini tek tek saymaya gerek yok ama ilk akla gelenler İstanbul ve Ankara’lı gruplardır.

Hamit: Yerli gruplar yeterince desteklenmiyor kesinlikle. Eray’a katılıyorum.

Deniz: Çok özgün ve kaliteli bir underground sahnemiz olduğunu düşünüyorum, sadece Thrash Metal’de biraz eksiklerimiz var, dolayısıyla herkesi sahaya bekliyoruz.

Kuzey: Çok yetenekli sanatçıların olduğu bir sahne. Sadece müzisyenlerin değil aynı zamanda çok yetenekli fotoğrafçıların, tasarımcıların, ressamların ve illüstratörlerin de olduğu bir alan. Azınlık sayılabilecek bu kitlenin canlı kalabilmesi için herkes birbirine daha fazla destek olmalı, yardım etmeli. Hamit’e katılıyorum, yerli gruplarımızı kesinlikle daha çok desteklemeli.


Hazardous, live at Kadıköy Sahne, Deathground Organization 2023, İstanbul


Yurdumuzda thrash metal yapan grupları düşünürsek, bir elin parmaklarını bile geçmez. Yıllarca cover çalmaktan öteye gidememiş grupları da göz önünde tutarak bu işe soyunmanızın büyük cesaret olduğunu itiraf etmem gerek.

Eray: Cover müzik yaparak belli bir kitle elde etmek daha kolay olduğu için insanlar kolaya kaçıyorlar. Orjinal materyal üretip kitle kazanmak ise çok daha zor. Cover konserlerine giden kitleyle de pek işimiz olmuyor zaten. Onlar genelde ülkedeki beste gruplarını desteklemiyorlar. Haftasonları hep aynı şarkıların döndüğü yüz senedir duymaktan sıkıldığımız şarkıların coverlarının yapıldığı mekanlarda takılmaya devam etsinler ve bizden uzak dursunlar!

Hamit: Memleketimizde çok fazla thrash metal grubu olmamasından dolayı thrash dinleyicisi de az, bu durum dolaylı olarak bu müziğe el atmak isteyenlerin cesaretini de kırıyor… Bu işte para kazanmak ve ünlü olmak bırakın Türkiye’yi, dünyada bile sandığınızdan çok daha zor.

Deniz: İnsanımız nazicilik oynamak yerine Thrash Metal’e bir şans verse, ülkede sorun kalmaz!

Thrash Metal geçmişte gerek gurup, gerek albümler açısından politik örneklerine de rastladığımız bir tür, Hazardous olarak bu konuda ne söylemek istersiniz?

Eray: Biz, daha çok seksenlerin popüler kültürünü referans alıyoruz. O dönemki korku filmlerini, aynı zamanda Robocop/ Terminator/ Rambo gibi efsaneleşmiş karakterler hakkında da yazıdığımız parçalarımız var. Bununla birlikte, SPAWN gibi bir çizgi roman efsanesi için yazmış olduğumuz bir şarkımız bile var, ve az da olsa video oyunlarından göndermeler yapıyoruz. İşin politik kısmına girmek istemiyoruz, zaten gündelik hayatta yeterince maruz kaldığımız bir durumu, kaçış yolumuz müziğe yansıtmak pek bizlik değil.

Hamit: Politik konulara gireceğimi sanmıyorum, Thrash’de politika yeterince konuşuldu bence. Sanırım, şu an yaptığımız gibi ilgimizi çeken şeylerin karışımı kendimizce bir yolda devam ederiz Hazarous olarak.

Son zamanlarda neler dinliyorsunuz, favori albümleriniz…?

Hamit: Thrash metal, günlük rutinimin bir parçası, albüm çevirmesem bile bir kaç şarkı dinlerim hergün. Onun dışında şu aralar biraz death metal saflarındayım, üzerinde çalıştığım yeni projem için ilham topluyorum: Grindcore, Deathcore, Hiphop, Endüstriyel Aggrotech/ EDM de sevdiğim türler arasında genelde, bunlar arasında git-gel şeklindeyim.

Deniz: Bu aralar Chemicide’in Common Sense albümüne inanılmaz takıldım. Mart başında çıkmış olan Midnight ‘Hellish Expectations’da herkese kesinlikle öneririm.

POSITIVE POWER: SHELTER AGAINST RACISM

NEVER AGAIN !!

The global legend of the New York hardcore music scene, Shelter, will perform at the Alternatywna Zdunska Wola festival in Poland, organized in partnership with the ‘Music Against Racism’ campaign of the ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association. 

News from the ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association

1 June 2026

Shelter are pioneers of the krishnacore genre and draw their inspiration from Indian philosophy and culture, particularly the Hare Krishna spiritual tradition, based on respect for all living beings. The band combines these themes with the message of the straight edge movement, promoting a drug-free lifestyle. The band’s frontman, Ray Cappo, aka Raghunath Das, is a renowned teacher of meditation and mindfulness.

POSITIVE POWER: SHELTER AGAINST RACISM

‘How is it possible that, having been so affected by previous conflicts, we are all once again on the brink of war? Ukraine, Gaza – it’s happening right on our doorstep’. –Anja Huwe

The alternative music festival is held in Zdunska Wola, a city in central Poland. Its programme fits perfectly with the message of the ‘Music Against Racism’ campaign, as it combines urban culture with musical phenomena that straddle various genres and diverse sounds. The opening concert will take place on 14 June 2026, with the remaining events – concerts, meetings, talks and exhibitions – scheduled on 18-19 June. The festival will feature an inspirational lineup of guests from several countries.

Anja Huwe, the former lead singer of Hamburg’s Xmal Deutschland – one of the most influential bands of the German post-punk and gothic rock scene – will also be performing in Zdunska Wola. On her 2024 solo album ‘Codes’, Huwe addressed the theme of war. In an interview with the SztukMix portal, she said, ‘How is it possible that, having been so affected by previous conflicts, we are all once again on the brink of war? Ukraine, Gaza – it’s happening right on our doorstep’.

Youth of Today / Paris / 1989

“Brings back memories of when we organized the first Youth of Today show in France, at Saint-Charles, the art school where I used to hang out back in 1989. Youth of Today was Ray Cappo’s first band, before he later went on to front Shelter.

The show was co-produced by our association, Elastic Crew Enterprize, and Mickey Maouss of Folies Mélodies (RIP). It took place in a classroom, with the drawing tables used as a makeshift stage. And I nearly got kicked out of art school over that joyful evening.” –Laurent Courau La Spirale.org // Mutation Magazine
