This is not something new in itself that no band has done before, but it makes the sound setup a little more complicated. Therefore we have to figure out how to replace the lack of bass guitar because I can add lower ends to one of the guitar signals but it still will not replace a bass guitar. We are currently considering whether, for example, a drum kick could compensate for the bass guitar. What makes things even more complicated is that the sound engineer also has to understand the whole system.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b3f5085 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b3f5085\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8938a70\" data-id=\"8938a70\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d34c2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6d34c2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>How many live shows have you played so far?<\/b><\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8b63a8e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8b63a8e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3669470\" data-id=\"3669470\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9786a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b9786a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">J: Three.

It sounds like a paradox, but that&#8217;s exactly why we decided to do it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-83ccc7f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"83ccc7f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-40b0027\" data-id=\"40b0027\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-468d970 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"468d970\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Can we expect the first EP in physical form?<\/b><\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-866e2f6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"866e2f6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8b5954a\" data-id=\"8b5954a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54d7143 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54d7143\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">K: I can&#8217;t say yet whether it will come out on vinyl, but at least it would be very reasonable to release it on cassette and CD.

It immediately seemed to me that with J. I could try things that other drummers wouldn&#8217;t bother to do, because they usually want to play pretty routine things. What J. plays is quite complex, the rhythms change often &#8211; it&#8217;s not easy stuff. Another reason is that my previous bands each focused on their own theme \u2013 musically or lyrically \u2013 but Hasswald is actually a philosophical project, where I just do what feels right to me. At the same time, it&#8217;s all so strange that I don&#8217;t know if anyone else would even fully understand it. The lyrics are all in German. I went a bit crazy writing them. I read a fair bit of Nietzsche, and Hasswald&#8217;s lyrics are also such that although I understand what I want to say, others may not get it at all. In short, I couldn&#8217;t do something like this with other bands. If someone else doesn&#8217;t like it, I don&#8217;t care \u2013 I&#8217;ll just continue doing it myself.

Every sentence means something. You have to know Nietzsche&#8217;s philosophy very well, otherwise you won&#8217;t understand anything. There is also a reference to the Bible in one of the lyrics, but this is also specifically related to Nietzsche, so you have to read his &#8220;Antichrist&#8221; to understand the meaning. But then you have to read \u201cThus Spoke Zarathustra\u201d to understand why \u201cAntichrist\u201d is so important. And that\u2019s just one story. The second song has a different topic, and thus each song has its own theme. I could try to explain the songs, but that would take half an hour. If someone really wants to know these things, I can try, but first I have to write them out for myself, because to be honest, at times it\u2019s all very complicated, even for me.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-32aeabf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"32aeabf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-03d52e8\" data-id=\"03d52e8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-128bf9b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"128bf9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live-1024x683.png?wsr\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4142\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hasswald-promo-live.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">K. \u2013 Guitars, vocals (Photo: Arttu Karvonen)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-94bd65c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"94bd65c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3791819\" data-id=\"3791819\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b8c0f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0b8c0f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Coming back to the concerts \u2013 you\u2019ve already performed three times and there are more to come.

These are two different things. When you watch, you experience something different than when you listen. This is also a bit of a philosophical question, how these two things fit together. Judging by the look and the name of the band, you might think that Hasswald is pagan metal. But when you start listening, you realize that this is not the case at all. Some elements in our work are shamanistic, but the lyrics themselves are philosophical. How do they fit together? I think that a concert could give an impulse, after which a person starts thinking and asking themselves what reality is at all. Is what their eyes see actually real? \u2013 not only when standing in front of the stage, but in life in general. They go out of their usual life and start wondering if this world is really the way they have always thought.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least it would be good if it happened like this\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">J: I believe that if people have paid for a ticket, then they should also get something in return.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a14783b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a14783b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7be7b7f\" data-id=\"7be7b7f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5515231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5515231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Do you have anything else to add?<\/b><\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7edce01 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7edce01\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-caeef8f\" data-id=\"caeef8f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d0785d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d0785d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">J: We&#8217;re going to perform in Edinburgh, Scotland, a week after the Tarbariitus festival in October, quite far from Estonia.

I don&#8217;t know how the next EP will go. The first part was surprisingly successful and it would have been very easy to continue in exactly the same direction, because it seems that people really liked it. I&#8217;m not even talking about Estonia here. Compared to other bands under the Warhorn Records label, where records have had press releases, Hasswald received quite a small amount of promotion, only one or two posts. We don&#8217;t even have our own Facebook page. But the feedback was very positive despite that, especially abroad. Maybe it was related to the fact that one of the designers of the Hate Forest album somehow found our music and listened to it. It remains to be seen how the next EP will go. Overall, I would say that Hasswald is \u201cMusik f\u00fcr Alle und Keinen\u201d \u2013 \u201cMusic for everyone and no one\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f9e549c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f9e549c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-02e2844\" data-id=\"02e2844\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dff4a24 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dff4a24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">TAUD, October 2024<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0ea8e9b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0ea8e9b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-635d10c\" data-id=\"635d10c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0c8431 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a0c8431\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pergerus.eu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Hasswald-qf9tjj8vyjljc8k3i0m7pdo3znbt3hwuajn9piovw0.jpg?wsr\" title=\"Hasswald\" alt=\"Hasswald\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veebruaris tulid uudised teise EP \u201e\u2026der Waldgang\u201c kohta Tarbatu black metal duolt Hasswald.
