| HECATE
BREW HIDEOUS Add to My Profile | More Videos br There is no greater single force of personality in the scene than Hecate, the founder of the fiercely independent Zhark International label and creator of 10 year's worth of "the most destroyed and blasphemous electronic beat fuckery". Her sound is a dark, almost alchemic hybrid of blistering, stuttering breaks, power noise, and Eastern influences, and she has collaborated with numerous artists from across both the breakcore and the Satanic, Black, and Death metal scenes. Hecate born Rachael Kozak and currently living in Basel, Switzerland is keenly aware of status as a female label owner and artist in a male-dominated scene; sex is a major theme in her work, along with death and the occult. One of the most extreme examples of Hecate's aesthetic is Nymphomatriarch, an album made entirely out of recordings of herself and Venetian Snares having sex on their two-week tour in 2003. If you're getting the idea that Kozak is the scene's ultimate provocateur, you're not half wrong. But for all itâ's blatant shock value, Nymphomatriarch, like all her releases, is still highly emotional, dark music that kicks ass, blowing everyone else away for raw complexity and energy. Hecate is clearly a force to be reckoned with, a claim recently reinforced by the April release of her Brew Hideous (Sublight/Hymen) album. Taken from the Summer issue of XLR8R Hecate aka Rachael Kozak has been pushing the boundaries of dark electronics for a decade now. Her industrial breaks have been at the forefront of the emerging breakcore scene as has her label Zhark. With Brew Hideous her metal side has come out. Damnation beats and breaks collide with doomed vocals and black metal guitars. Will this be a one off collision of styles or is she going to expand upon the depraved mix of underground genres? It seems like the possibilities of combining metal elements with harsh electronics is an untapped source. I am surrounded by talented musicians that want to collaborate. I have never fit into any easy category, and always supported the most debauched of collaborations and concepts. The future holds only the utter dematerialization of all that one finds recognizable. Nothing is sacred or easily defined." Please expand on some of these collaborators. " I am currently in collusion with a few very talented extreme metal musicians. A few weeks ago I was invited by Austria's Belphegor to compose an outtro to be used on their new opus. Michael Ford of Black Funeral has asked me to contribute to a new project, with me terrorizing the microphone in drunken fits. The other collaboration that has really inspired me, is my forthcoming work with Mirrorthrone, aka Vladimir. This project will utilize the true strengths of each other's musical abilities. New alliances are always forming." When writing or performing do you enter another state or are you this intense with everything you do in day to day life? When in recording mode I reside in another dimension most of the time. Life is just as intense but a little less chaotic. Why even live on this Earth if not to spread both my love and my venom? Hecate is an intense and scary persona. How many people are scared of you? More everyday for a multitude of reasons! Understandably, I have come to represent the dark aspects of womanhood in a sonic barrage of rage and blasphemy. Fighting the forces I have to face everyday as a creative woman on this Earth, people should have nothing but respect for what I choose to represent. If they can't come to terms with me because their own perception of reality is altered, then they are a waste of my time. As the list of people to work alongside grows, the list of haters multiplies. It doesn't surprise me and obviously it won't stop me. Some of them should be terrified." Taken from July 2006 TERRORIZER MAg ADD BANNERS TO YOUR PAGE NOW!
