SLAYED NECROS -- IN MEMORIAM
PIC INFO: Spotlight on the late, great Eric Martin Ain (1967-2017), a.k.a., "Slayed Necros" on "deadly bassdose" duties, from his early performing/recording days with Swiss extreme metal band HELLHAMMER (soon to be renamed CELTIC FROST), c. 1984. 📸: ❓
MARTIN ERIC: "We created music to transcend our anger, the frustration, and the suffering, otherwise we could have become terrorists, after all. I mean, CELTIC FROST existed not least at a time when the Red Army Faction [the Baader-Meinhof terrorist group] was still active. And as a young individual, one indeed could have easily found connections within the radical left-wing camp, especially in Zurich, where the youth movement was very involved, politically.
At the time in question, adolescent individuals were seen as enemy number one in the city that was once home to the religious reformer Huldrych Zwingli. Any person who decided to grow their hair a bit longer would invariably be taken to the police station to be investigated."
