STRIBORG

INTERVIEW

I think the world is for ever changing and for the worst. There has, is, and will always be conflict and violence in the world because our minds are so rotten with hatred towards mankind.

Shaun, you need to get past this whiny, twee folk-pop that you're always plugging.

Interviewing Striborg is right on top of my 'to do' list.

ANOTHER INTERVIEW:

My music/lyrics are a transcendental chariot to the darkest and coldest planes possible on earth and in mind, dreams/subconscious and afterlife.

Q: Tasmania has had a dark and cruel history in the 200 years since the European invasion, including genocide, torture, mass-murder, and other forms of violence. Do you think this makes it an especially good place to create cruel and violent music?

Striborg: Yes.

I heard once that his name is Russell.

Terrorizer interview

“The true spirit of Mother Nature is my only source of enlightenment and can only be felt when free of mankind. And I do not care if anybody thinks I’m being politically or ecologically incorrect as this is the way I perceive the world on a spiritual level. I’m not interested in promoting anything: I despise the human race and I can’t help feeling this way, that’s all. Read my lyrics and you’ll see I’m always referring to humanity as some kind of parasite that gets in Nature’s way.”

Promo for the Striborg DVD (must see)

Shaun, let me know if you need a photographer

alas, the internet says Striborg doesn't do interviews anymore.

he produces good music but from those interviews he sounds like he's a douchebag.

Sounds like a bit of a downer.

I JUST WROTE A BLOG POST ABOUT STRIBORG

METAL

he needs font guidance.

Any progress, Shaun?

apparently his interview with Terrorizer was the last interview he'll ever do. I haven't started to chase it up though.

Terrorizer is amazing by the way. Metal writers are among the best music writers ever. Probably because you really have to know your shit - metal allows no bluffing.

also DECIBEL

Chat astrouserasmind has not only met Striborg, he's played in a band with him.

From this thread, re: whether Striborg can break dance or not:

He can. I've seen him. I used to play in a band with him and Zach VB called UFO and I distinctly recall him breakdancing in a FUCKING AMAZING way when hammered at a party on Goulburn St, though this was in 1994 and may not currently hold true.

I was going to ask how old Striborg is, but then I realised that he has transcended ageing.

Striborg's real name is Russell and he is very short and wanted to beat me up in the nineties for looking at his girlfriend, who he stole off my friend. Good drummer but.

Striborg's grim hometown

holy shit. i used to always read terrorizer! i've got one or two of their CD comps with a bunch of unsigned bands from the UK. i remember really like Cry Debris for some reason. and that other band.. Chug? something ridiculous but whatever - the ed. described their 1.30min song as just a recording of a car crash. still remember it was a pretty good song.

i need to know about striborg breakdancing. i... just need to see it.

Apparently Striborg doesn't live in Snug anymore.

Hey shaun, what would you have done if he'd called this album ''Blissful Catharsis'' ?

Blissful catharsis wasn't considered a 'dumb word combination' back in 2004.

Apparently Striborg doesn't live in Snug anymore.

Nope, he lives out the back of Collinsvale if what i've heard is true.

He's been seen quite recently dropping prouduct off at Tommygun, a Hobart record store.

Any recommendations for a good place to start with Striborg?

So how about that Everett True dude and his Thin Kids?

Any recommendations for a good place to start with Striborg?

I've only got Solitude and the Embittered Darkness/Isle de Morts reissue. Both are great, the later is probably the best place to start though.

latter

striborg should play a m+n lunchbox series.

venue can put calves heads on the menu.

Nope, he lives out the back of Collinsvale if what i've heard is true.

Sounds more likely than Snug. Snug seems just so 'cutesy'. Collinsvale on the other hand is just demented in every way possible. Went for a wander up Collins Cap the other week and was (perhaps unreasonably) expecting the car to be stolen by the time we got back and to be replaced by a burning pentagram and severed animal parts. The people that live there...

On google maps satellite view Collinsvale is veiled in fog. How grrimm.

the other night I put my youngest kid to bed, put the blankets on and said ''there, now you're all snug''. I immediately thought of Striborg.

shaun  said 9 hours ago:
perhaps you'd rather live in a fake world of gothic forest death stuff?
sounds amazing

striborg bump then

The one time I saw Striborg it was rather shit unfortunately.

DIGGING A DITCH TO DIE IN

ahhh van diemens land..it rules pretty hard, like england except ireland is gigantic and sitting on top of it

thread needs a bump because I've been listening to a gutted wolf worth of Striborg lately.

Does Striborg wear horns on his helmet?

there's nothing to suggest it..

OGS

Bump? I once found a Striborg CD in the bargan bin of JB.

Best.
$3.00.
Ever.

ok, so i'm a little slow on the uptake and have only just heard all this lo-fi black metal stuff

i've been listening to xasthur and striborg for the last fortnight. fucking killer.

Vote 1 Striborg!
