Mexico but here I have done an interview with
ADF(All Death Forces) april-2016

(ALL DEATH FORCES) is an aggressive paced high
energy band, influenced by genders such as

ADF
(All death Forces) are you satisfied with the
name? How did it came up?
Are you calling yourself only ADF or the
full name? Which is the best bandname you know?
-Very pleased with the name, we feel that All
Death Forces is the complete identity of the
band, from the start we liked the full name
abbreviate a matter of logo design, we prefer to
be called by the full name, the name's origin it
was a proposal was initially Wachi all Forces of
Death and drunk decided to generalize the
present, is an allusion to all that for many it
was but for others it means to follow.
What´s the best thing with playing live?
-Convey what one feels when touching and
reciprocity of people. Fun.
And
where is best to play? And the worst place?
-For us all are the best.
How
is to play this sort of music in Mexico right
now? Which types of bands do you have concerts
together with?
-If
there is a scene but not broadcast it deserves,
each band makes its way through the diversity of
genres at concerts in which we all support.
How
would you describe your music in three words?
-Rabiosa,
direct and as we say in Mexico "With Eggs"
(Attitude)
What does punk mean to you, is it only a word or
is it a lifestyle
-It
is an attitude towards life and a way to see the
different and creativity to everyday things not
err, it is something that motivates you to fight
or be against all control systems, be it
religious, political and social.
How
do you see on downloading, mp3 and that stuff?
-Good because it is global spread but against
that people no longer value the music as it was
before the power to investigate about the bands
and having on hand the audiovisual
interpretation (physical) of the artist.
How
is it to live in Mexico now? Politically?
The violence? The drugs?
-The situation is
bad,
but nothing new has been years present, current
media (social networks, etc.) are responsible
for scandalize the whole situation of violence
and drugs of their activities within the
country, politically all it is corruption and
the three words you questions are linked to each
other as gears of a factory that works thanks to
the other.
Is
there any good bands from Mexico now?
Is the punkscene/hardcorescene big?
How is it in your hometown?
-As
in all countries there is diversity, is enormous
participation of the bands and the scene, the
bands are part of the scene and the same scene
supports bands, All Death Forces recommends,
Kicktime, Doble D, Uno a Uno, Axpi, Crimen,
Masscare 68, AntiMaster, Tormentas, Apocalipsis,
Hell Maiztroz, Alfonso Sayas, Furens, Propia
Actitud, Barra Brava, Last One Standing,
Annapura, KLH.
What do you know about Sweden?
-A
country with very good bands of Death Metal,
Punk Rock, Oi! of which many are influences of
us, ah very cold and although we love to have
shows in the country.
Have you heard any good bands from Sweden?
-At
The Gates, Dark Tranquility, Skit System,
Soilwork, Dimension Zero, Wolfbrigade,
Millencolin, Scar Symmetry, Perkele, Arch Enemy,
Carcass, Bloodbath, Kakatonia, Satanic Surfers,
Martyrdot, The Crown
and
some that we do not remember.
Your lyrics, who does them and what influences
you?
Is it easier to do lyrics now or was its
easier to do it when you was younger? Never in
spanish?
-We
all write lyrics, our influence is just the
issue of violence and as far as can be capable
of destroying man himself. We write in English
because it is the universal language, but do not
rule sometime to write lyrics in our language.
Is
there any subject that you never will write
anything about?
-Never say never say in Mexico.
Politic and music, does it goes hand in hand?
Which is your most political song?
-In
our music if, one against the other, here we
have a perception policy in which we can not set
a position "corruption" our lyrics are a result
of the reaction of people to the current
situation of our country.
Best political band/artist?
-Sin
Dios, The Oppressed, Sepultura, Ministry,
Electroduendes, El Tri,
Do
you think that music
(lyrics and so on) can change anyones life, I
mean people who listens to music?
-A
huevo
as we say in Mexico.
Your cover on your CD looks really nice, is it
important to have a record cover which shows
people which type of music you play? Your
favourite
record
cover?
Who does your covers?
And do you have any good record
stores in your hometown?
-If, with art you project part of what you mean,
Arise Sepultura, Victim in Pain Agnostic Front,
Stigmata of SKITSYSTEM, Let's Go Rancid, to name
a few, our art has made the Mexican visual
artist Hetwort, Carcoma Records, El Tianguis
Cultural del Chopo.
Is
it important to get out physical records of your
stuff? Why or why not?
Is it expensive to do records in your
homecountry?
-It
is important for what we mentioned above, the
physical is the best, shows much of what the
band is, the price of creating a recording in
Mexico unfortunately depends heavily on the
foreign exchange market.
Please tell me a funny thing which have happened
during your career and under some gig?
-On
a tour of the Mexican Bajio our van caught fire
but thanks that
we
were carrying an ice chest with beer and whiskey
which we called R2-D2 we smother the flames.
How
does your audience look like? Which people do
you miss on your concerts? Which is the biggest
band you ever have played together with?
-Punks,
Metal Maniacs, Hardcore, Skinheads, Crust Punks,
Alternative People, we miss the people who
really have fun on the shows and raise their
fist not their smartphones, we played once upon
a time with At The Gates, The Haunted, Slayer
and Sepultura in a festival on Sweden (jajajajajaja
