 ASPHYX
ASPHYX formed in 1987, so you have witnessed the emerging of the Death Metal boom in the beginning of the 90’s really well.
In 1990 you released the collector EP called “Mutilating Process” on the young German label Nuclear Blast, and you also recorded the “Embrace The Death” album, which was at last released in 1996 by Century Media, ‘cos the label which was supposed to release it had problems.
Composing songs in ASPHYX was like this: Eric or Theo or Tonny (when he was still in) came up with a riff, played it to me, I came up with a certain drumbeat, we started jamming and out of that jam session (which we recorded) existed a song.

 ASPHYX
ASPHYX is a living legend, and was probably one of the oldest Death Metal bands out of Holland.
A big problem was the distance though: he had to travel from one side of Holland to the other, so that meant leaving every sunday 8 o'clock in the morning and come back around 11 in the evening, so that didn't work out in the end.
ASPHYX was very occult at that time, Theo was very interested in those topics at that time, his lyrics were also kind of satanic in a way.

When The Asphyx was released in 1973, The Exorcist was about to change the landscape of horror forever, moving the genre away from subtlety and into the realm of graphic effects and makeup.
That's one of the reasons why The Asphyx was a box-office flop, fondly remembered by a select few who never forgot this quirky little "thinking man's horror film" (as Variety called it), in which a 19th-century British philanthropist and amateur psychic researcher embarks on a fateful quest for immortality.
Sir Hugo becomes obsessed with capturing his own Asphyx and thus ensuring that he cannot die, but of course this is an ill-fated ambition that puts Sir Hugo on a ruinous path to destruction and death.

 Attack of the 50 Foot DVD: Aphyx
Obsessed, as were so many others at the time, with photographing the soul leaving the body at the moment of death, Sir Hugo finds that what he has actually been capturing on film is the Asphyx, a spirit of death that appears only at the moment of demise.
Further, he finds that every living thing has its own, individual asphyx - and that by devising a means to capture this spirit, death can forever be held at bay.
Though it has several near-fatal lapses in logic, The Asphyx is a good example of thoughtful British horror which was doomed to near-oblivion by being released in America the same year as The Exorcist, a film which changed the horror movie landscape to favor the visceral, rather than the cerebral.

 The Asphyx
In the late 19th century, scientific researcher Sir Hugo (Robert Stephens) discovers that it is possible to photograph the soul as it leaves a dying person's body.
The Asphyx is one of the finest, yet most unheralded English horror films of its time.
Technical credits, barring some ropey special effects (to FX artist Ted Samuels' credit, the asphyx doesn't look embarrassing or even necessarily laughable, but it does rather fall short of expectations), are first class, with Young's cinematography and Bill McGuffie's lovely soundtrack standing out.

 The Asphyx [1972] - Review @ EOFFTV   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Asphyx was doomed almost before its final frame was printed - the timing was simply all wrong.
Hammer were deep in their own death throes and The Exorcist had redefined the horror movie by the time the decidedly old-fashioned The Asphyx belatedly reached the screens.
The commercial failure of The Asphyx was a disappointment, not only because the film clearly deserved better, but also because it was just more nail in the coffin of the great English Gothic.

Formed back in 1987 while gaining inspiration from bands such as Venom, Possessed, Hellhammer, Messiah and Death, this three-piece quickly achieved universal recognition within the underground for their uncompromising death/doom metal style as well as for their everlasting praise of the original death metal spirit.
In fact, many people consider that later Soulburn line-up as the most powerful one in the band's history, and since the musical approach was kept as untamed and "asphyxiating" as ever before, it was only a matter of time to see the band re-baptized as Asphyx.

Some of these songs were released as re-recorded versions on Asphyx's classic "The Rack" album, but this "Embrace the Death" CD consists of the original (raw, no re-mixing here!) material from 1990 that shows the real Asphyx of that time: dark, occult, & heavy as HELL!
