When i listen all promo materials, the most important thing, that the music must catch me. If i don\'t like music of band, i\'ll never don\'t sign them. It means, that i love all my releases without any exceptions and i\'m sure, that all they are excellent.

3. What are your future plans (gig, new release, .....) ?
Right now i work with next 3 releases:
SCRATCHING SOIL - Separatism and AUTUMN - And We Are Falling Leaves for Stygian Crypt and BEYOND BLACK VOID - Desolate for Marche Funebre productions. All they must be released in november. I don\'t occopy by gig organisation, because i very busy with my label.

4. Which kind of band would you have on your label ?
The only and main condition - if i\'ll like music - i\'ll release it. I listen almost all heavy music styles except hardcore, punk, stoner rock, alternative and nu metal. All another stylles of music could be releaased on Stygian Crypt.

5. Are you satisfied about the actual situation of your label throught the Underground Metal Scene ?
Hmmm... If i\'ll say "yes", it not will be true. I know, that my label is known and i\'ve got good reputation in underground, but i know, that not all kinds of my work are ideal and i want to do my label better than now. Frst of all i bear in mind promotion and distribution.

6. Do you want to develop your activity or are you satisfied for now ?
Yes, i\'ll develop my label as perfectly as i could.

7. What kind of stuffs / people you dislike (music, mankind personnality, governement....) ?
I wrote yet about music, that i dislike. I can add pop music shit only (pap, techno etc.). I hate all rip offs, which multipled now in underground. I know, that all politics are morally depraved persons, but i can\'t change it. I can change situation with rip offs in underground and i always spread all information about these labels, zines or persons. Maybe, in future, i\'ll realize my idea about anti rip off site, but i don\'t have any time yet.

8. What do you think about the International underground Extreme Metal scene (actually, future.) ?
Nothing in particular... This scene permanently grows and it is good. More good bands, more good music. Good fact, that metal culture exists in many countries, where, as i know metal music forbidden (arabian countries etc.). Musically i listen many good bands in all styles, many experiments, many good musicians. I\'m glad, that metal is alive and, i hope, when i\'ll be very old, i\'ll listen new interested metal bands.

9. Which band you recommended for a new fan would discover this Metal scene ?
Any fan usually discover own kind of metal music. Someone discover death metal, someone doom metal, someone black metal etc. In any style there are excellent bands. It\'s too individual in order to something.

10. What do you think about the other media throught the underground scene (paper magazine, webzine, distribution...) ?
I think, that paper magazines will be dead very soon, because internet spreads very fastly. Webzines better, than printed zines, because they on-the-fly places all news, they don\'t need many funds for existance, they don\'t need many place for keeping etc. etc. etc. Internet helps us to spread our releases very fastly and i can\'t imagine now my work without computer. Via e-mail and our web-site we can sell our releases (http://www.sc.eclipse.bestweb.ru/catalogue_en.html) and via trades we can offer our releases to many labels and distros and we can spread their releases in Russia. Long live worldwide web !

11. It\'s up to you, write what you want about anything ?
Support underground and keep your metal spirit alive !
All the best, Andrew.
