  HAILS TO YOU... PLEASE START BY TELLING ABOUT THE BAND, MEMBERS, AND HOW THE BAND FORMED.
*The band concist out of Erik(Vocals), Sammy(Bass), Frank(Drums), Tuni(Guitars), Def(Guitars). Prejudice started back in '94 as a speed/thrash metalband but after kicking outs some members we dicided to head for a more brutal & tech. direction, in that time we recorded the Demo Jaundiced Eye what was in that style! After the demo we fired our vocalist and Erik became the new main vocalist with more brutal & more deathmetal sounding growls. In this line-up we recorded our 1 album Broken promises and we had all over excelent reviews about that album and we did lots of touring because of this album. Again we entered a new member in the band that was more in to Tech Deathmetal like we wanted and with that line up we recorded Reality that's the latest album so far and we did lot's of shows and tours with this album like the just finished killer tour with VADER, KRISIUN, DECAPITATED.

  YOU ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW DISC DUE TO BE RELEASED NEXT SUMMER...WHAT INFO CAN YOU GIVE ABOUT THAT?
*This album will be our best one untill now M8 that can I esure u! Untill now we have 5 new songs that are more brutal & tech with more groove as before! Normally we'll hit the studio in midd '03 to bring it out in the end of '03. Normally this will be our first release on a label, but what label I can't tell you now, sorry :-)

  YOU GUYS HAVE ALOT OF LIVE DATES IN THE NEAR FUTURE, ARE YOU HAPPY TO BE GETTING OUT ON THE ROAD SOON?
*Yeah man we are always happy if we can hit the road, we are a live band and that's the way we like it. We just finished our tour with Vader what was killer anyway, we played arround a show of 40! And in the end of this year we'll hit the road again to tour in Europe again, can't wait to do it again!!

  AFTER THE NEW DISC IS RELEASED, WILL YOU BE DOING AN EXTENSIVE TOUR SUPPORT AND PROMOTE THE NEW ALBUM?
*I hope we can tour again with some killer bands as this time but we hope to invade the US also with that release of course! We will do all what is possible to make that album going!! But on live shows it will be no prob, I can asure u that! I will hope that we get lot's of tour support from the label because we like to tour it's our strong point in the band...

  ARE YOU CURRENTLY UNDER A LABEL, OR IS EVERYTHING DONE INDEPENEDENTLY?
*Until now everything was independent, but like I said, we are dealing with some labels it just a matter of time and let's hope it will run ok! If not we'll bring it out on the label of our drummer again like the previous one! Don't worry the 3th album will see the light, must be!

  WHO OR WHAT ARE INFLUENCES WHEN DOING THE WRITING FOR THE BAND?
*We have different influences af course, but mainly it will be bands like CRYPTOPSY, MESHUGGHA, MALEVOLENT CREATION, DEATH, CYNIC, PANTERA... But we try to be write music that we like and where we stand 100% for! We want to write music like we have it mind and not looking to much to other bands, but in this times it's not easy! But it goes!

  WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THE CURRENT METAL SCENE? ANY FAVORITES?
*Altime favorite CRYPTOPSY for sure!! The metal scene is very ok to me lots of killer bands all over the world and mainly in Europe believe me. For underground bands we like GODLESS THRUTH, DISINFECT, CADAVERIC CREMATORIUM, ABORTED(also belgium brutals)... I hope the scene will become bigger and it doesn't have always to come from the USA!!

  WHY THE CHOICE OF THE GENRE OF METAL THAT YOU ARE IN, AS COMPARED TO ANOTHER GENRE?
*We just like to play brutal tech groovie music!! But anyway we like many different styles of metal, you would be surprised, believe me!!!

  THE BAND HAS GONE THROUGH A FEW LINE UP CHANGES, DO YOU FEEL THAT THIS IS THE STRONGEST LINE UP TO DATE?
*This is the strongest untill now, we all know what we want and we go for it 200% that's a good spirit for the band!! Hopefully it will stay like this for several years? But in my opinion, yes it will.

  IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD, OR THAT I MAY HAVE MISSED?
*We would like to thx all the metalfans who given us a chance to prove ourselves in being us! Thx u guys for the big support and believing in this band we are greatful to make all this come true because of u guys!! True metal never will die!! Support your European underground!! RESPECT Ya'LL Thx for the intie man!!
