"DISGRACE was founded some time in the late 20th century and is still telling everybody to piss off. Admist the acne- and masturbation-filled teen years the musical inspiration was sucked more or less from Heavy Metal, thus the first recordings of the band - in the early 90tees - were considered as pure murder, Death Metal-roll, which gave us friends and bad reputation." - Mr Koski, 25 years, drummer of DISGRACE since 1988.

"For some reasons, the guitarists egos collided and it took a couple of years of frustration and line-up-changes to get to the point...todays line-up is dated back to our second album (Superhuman Dome 96) and its been a solid cornerstone for the sonic landscape we create nowadays." - Mr. Selonen, 26 years, bassplayer of DISGRACE since 1989.

"Yeah...its been two years since the release of the last record and its about time for some new action. The musical output has been shaped more and more towards real fucken rock music. Well, It seems to be evitable that even we might get old one day, cos theres no way were gonna make songs with 1000 riffs...the less parts we fit in a song, less work & stress it causes. Weve tried somehow to maintain the fake young aggression on this release, although sometimes it feels like some fucking DANNY (Finnish show-biz tiger - a lame version of TOM JONES) has more balls & energy than we do. The main reason for us doing this shit is to maintain the possibility of making new records and get more gigs, big money, fame and booze." - Mr. Sanaksenaho, 26 years, guitarplayer of DISGRACE since 1994.

"Disgrace celebrates its tenth (!) anniversary by playing a shitload of showsin the centralmost venues and gas stations throughout the country in April & May 1998. In late May we take over the rest of the world, which in this case means some hot touring in Scandinavia - Germany - Czech republic - axis. And by the summer we get back home and cause some trouble around the festival-sites." - Mr. Kupias, 21 years, guitarplayer of DISGRACE since 1995.

"Do I wanna send greetings...? What a hell do you mean...? No, bloody no! And you how has read this interview based pamflet all the way through must be either a) committed to your work b) stupid c) bored shitless and/or d) a beginner - in any case we wish you a fuckin swell time...I guess I did it anyway... - Mr. Taskinen, 25 years, a mature vocalist of DISGRACE since 1988.

"Aarrrgghhh, voi pojat ett jyt! Tm levy oli kyll ehdottomasti positiivisin yllri mik koskaan on promolevyn muodossa luukusta tippunut. Monihan tietkin bndin metalli menneisyyden ja siin uskossa itsekin olin thn levyyn saakka, mutta nythmDisgrace on tehnyt ns. xysmat ja tyst vallan vakuuttavia rockjyri. Suoremmin ja raaemmin kuin mainittu ja seks meikliselle sopii, Xysmassa hiritsivtkin ajoittaiset eksymiset sivupoluille. Disgrace ei paljoa henghdysteukoja suo, pt lydn seinn koko 35 minuutin ajan,laulaja on bru-taa-li ja kun bndi on vielp keikkatilanteessa loistava niin eikhn meill tss liene yksi Suomen kovimmista orkestereista. Huh,huh!" (Katoamispiste #7, Suomi)
