Funniest interview ever (seriously!)

"Myself am Hell"
By: Chris Nieratko
So, why Myself Am Hell?
Satan said it in "Paradise Lost" by John Milton after he got chained down to the lake of fire. he gathers his demons on the shore of this lake of fire and he gets to the end and he gives this rousing speech and he says, "I am Lord, I take command, myself am hell" And it's just like, wow.
We were hoping you guys were Europeans that didn't know any English.
It was this guy, majored in English.
Majored in English and came up with Myself Am Hell?
Four years of education in Albany just to get Myself Am Hell.
So, what's with the fangs?
I got 'em initially because when we were headlining shows back home, if there were people that were going to see other bands, we'd be like, "Yo, we're playing at midnight. Do you guys want to hang out?" They'd be like "Oh my God! You have fangs." And they would stay just to see if it was crazy or whatever. It was really just something to draw attention and get some publicity for the band.
Do you have a job back in New York?
Um, yeah, this band.
That's it?
It's a 24/7 kinda thing. Check out the website, MyselfAmHell.com.
Do you like it when people come up to you and say stuff like "Myself am liking your album?"
Some people have gotten a lot more creative than that.
What kind of metal are you guys?
We're like thrash, speed metal on the technical side with death metal vocals.
So you guys don't burn churches?
Not yet, maybe if we get to Europ. We could join in, wear a little chainmail. Once we were in Canada and we were fuckin' around and there was this big church. And I didn't see that there was this big sign and it said "This Church Repels All Things Evil." And I went running up the steps chasing a balloon and I fell. I looked up and saw that big sign and I was like, "Oh fuck."
Yourself was feeling stupid?
No, myself was too evil to get into that church.
Have you guys ever burned a CD in a microwave?
Our friend's mom was really really religious and she cracked our CD into a thousand pieces and set it on fire. And she also prayed that we would die in anonymity. So you guys take care of that, you're putting us on a little documentary. Screw her.
So how many t-shirts have you sold along the way to get out to California?
Actually a bunch, 'cause we're running out.
How many t-shirts does it take to fill a tank?
Two.
Why aren't there more black black metal bands?
'Cause they suck.
But Living Colour was good.
They weren't a black metal band.
But how come there's no black dudes in black metal?
They know where the money's at, they Rap. The guys from God Forbid are black.
God forbid there's black guys in black metal.
They're more like hardcore heavy metal.
Do they Rap?
No.
If myself am inviting you to a slumber party at my hotel, yourselves am coming?
Absolutely. Ourselves will even bring alcohol. Myself am drinking.
Myself am thinking the interview is done.
Alright man. Ourselves thank you.
