I officially founded World Hate Center in 2005 after thrilling musical escapades with diverse death metal bands back in the 90s. The idea was to create a brutal pornogrind band that would be famed for its ferocious lyricism and contagious energy. There were already great bands in the scene that still fascinate me today.
Brutal Metal was pretty much as cutthroat back then as it is today, perhaps even more savage. Grindcore and Death Metal have always been a hobby and a lifestyle for me – a place of solitude I could retreat to whenever I needed some feel-good vibes. The desire to create the same environment for others was overwhelming, and after a string of connected events, our journey took off!
And so it began…
Before World Hate Center, there was Chainsaw Masturbation – my first brainchild in the pornogrind subgenre, which I founded in 2003. In a way, this would be the origin of what is now WHC. Although short-lived, Chainsaw Masturbation was well received and showed immense potential. We had an eventful two-year learning experience with Chainsaw Masturbation, which was about all we needed at the time, considering we were still new to the scene and finding our feet.
Two years was enough time to evaluate our scorecard. We weren’t doing badly, but it wasn’t a great run either.
Upon intense reflection, I came up with a new concept for the band, which led to rebranding Chainsaw Masturbation as World Hate Center in 2005. As I mentioned before, the WHC train had left the station in 2003, and in 2005 the project underwent a complete facelift that included, among several other necessary changes, the recruitment of new members. I needed a more aggressive sound for the new outfit, a departure from the sound of Chainsaw Masturbation.
This would explain why I made the transition to WHC with only the drummer from Chainsaw Masturbation. He was completely obsessed with his instrument, and I kind of needed that energy for the new “movement.”
But first a backspin to where it all started!
As mentioned earlier, I have been a devoted Death Metal and Grindcore fan from way back. Metal has never been a business for me, which influenced how I later came to run my band! Good brutal Metal music has a way of hitting you in all the right spots, purging destructive energy and replacing it with calm and some deep level of bliss you can never experience anywhere else.
My debut in Death Metal as a creator was driven by the need to do the thing that made me happy regardless of whether it made money or burned a big hole in my pocket. I lived for the creative process of music creation, and it never felt like work, not a single day!
1994 – 2004
You can call this my formative period if you will. I had finally transitioned from being a listening fan to being a creator. During this period, I experimented as both an instrumentalist and a vocalist, gathering tons of experience that I later used in my own band. In 1994, I joined my first death metal band, Suspiria! I was a badass drummer who played a couple of live shows. It was one hell of a musical experience that helped shape me into the all-round musician I am today!
Unfortunately, Suspiria didn’t last long. Suspiria later disbanded, and in 1996, I joined my second death metal band, Insane. This time as the vocalist. During my tenure at Insane, we had a great and unforgettable time, but like many new underground Death Metal bands at the time, we never had the stability needed to overcome the challenges we encountered along the way. Insane, too, came to its inevitable ugly end, bringing the curtain down on my short-lived death metal career.
During the years that followed, I wandered the industry like a stateless pirate on the high seas. I joined various other rock bands and tried out my fair share of musical styles from Rock to Hardcore, and I even appeared on dozens of CDs. Although I played many concerts during this time, I had not yet found my musical place. In the early 2000s I felt it was time to spread my wings and finally do what I love. Primitive brutal porngrind that nobody wants to hear. It was a journey I had to take.
2005 – 2011
I needed people who felt the same way I did, people who wanted to create primitive noise that we could all enjoy. That was exactly how Chainsaw Masturbation was created in 2003. Sadly, it wasn’t all roses at Chainsaw Masturbation camp either, and eventually I moved on to World Hate Center.
I brought different musicians into WHC, and together we created The Chainsaw Demos, released in 2008. The cover of the demo symbolizes the fight against pedophile subhumans. Unfortunately, we lost all the recordings for the demos in a hard drive crash, and all that invaluable studio work went down the drain in a flash! However, there were about 50 copies of the demo, and they sold out in no time. Interestingly, I never owned a copy of that masterpiece.
During the same year, we played two small World Hate Center shows. They were chaotic and a lot of fun.
2009 presented a roller-coaster of events for WHC! Once again I had to let go of all the band members with whom we had created The Chainsaw Demos. It was a tough year for me and the band, but as fate would have it, I got to know Gronzo – a talented musician whom I credit for helping me realize my Cybergrind dreams. Gronzo showed up at a crucial time in my career when I was experimenting with different sounds for the next phase of WHC.
I was moving in a Cybergrind direction at the time, and he was quite instrumental throughout the process. In 2009, our second demo, Maximum Perversum, was released.
It was also during this time that I came to meet another key figure in my musical journey – Nik the Pig from Vaginal Cadaver. I forged a strong friendship with Nik, one that would later come to save World Hate Center from the brink of extinction.
Together with Gronzo, I recorded four killer songs for the Death n’ Disco Massacre sampler in 2010. Afterward, we started looking for new musicians to work with on future material. This, however, never came to fruition as the band split up in 2011. From this point on, I resolved to turn WHC into a solo project with no permanent lineup going forward.
2012 – 2017
After the band split, I took a musical hiatus and traveled the world. In 2014, I founded the noisegrind band Orgasma Plasma together with my friend Dick Tracy, and left Germany in 2015. Leaving Germany was a pivotal move for me. The country, in my view, has turned into a shithouse that is being destroyed by a sick and criminal government. The Federal Republic of Germany is a disgusting cancer and those responsible will burn in hell one day.
Europe is completely lost, apart from Hungary, Poland and Czechia. I value the freedom to travel and live in places that are clean, safe and peaceful. Traveling has given me new perspectives on life, music, my faith and many other things.
2018 – 2023
I had shelved my dreams of having a Cybergrind band after a series of disappointments. For all I cared, World Hate Center was dead to me! I did nothing musically meaningful in 2018, and I wasn’t bothered at all. Remember Nik the Pig from Vaginal Cadaver? Well, Nik wasn’t buying my act. He was convinced that I still had that fire burning deep down in me. Turns out a genuine passion is hard to suppress. Long story short, WHC was back.
During a short and very fun trip to Russia, we had an intense conversation with a great Russian guy about starting a new label together. Nik did the talking because he speaks fluent Russian. That was the birth of our label, Global Spermageddon Productions.
The label re-released our demo Maximum Perversum, the compilation Death n’ Disco Massacre and Vaginal Cadaver’s Pussy Overdose EP.
In 2021, I released two new songs on each of the splits The Six Principles of A.I Takeover and Monsters of Porn Vol. 1.
By then, after years of changing lineups, I had come to a simple conclusion: I’m not good with long-term commitments when it comes to band lineups. That is probably one reason WHC never managed to keep permanent members. It’s probably too late to teach this old dog new tricks, so working with different guest musicians on different releases simply makes more sense to me. Some kind of no-strings-attached arrangement. I don’t want to compromise anymore.
I hope you had fun with the World Hate Center Band history. It is far from finished.
I have spoken.
