BFM:Hi Joe! how's the last tours?
JoeAnus: hey man, so lately we've been playing a lot of shows in belgium and we're just back from a european tour with screamer and striker that consisted of 19 shows in 20 days! It was a total blast! Today we will play at the masters of Kassel festival in germany with Sodom! I can’t wait to hit the stage again!
BFM:I think some of our readers might don't know Evil Invaders very well, So please introduce a little profile of your band!
JoeAnus: evil invaders is a 4-piece heavy/speed/thrash metal act strongly influenced by the great bands of the 80's.
BFM:How is the Metal scene in belgium now?
JoeAnus: i think the scene in belgium is pretty good for the moment. everybody supports eachother: bands, organisations, etc. just friendly competition and that's a good thing!

BFM:In "Alcoholic Maniac". I heard the verse "ZATOS poepeloeres!" sangs out in the few last second, what does it mean?
JoeAnus: haha the lyrics of this song were written while being drunk with some friends. in the region where i'm from we have this saying when somebody is really drunk. 'poepeloere zat' which means drunk as fuck.
it was just a reference to the local drunk friend of ours. he was always saying funny stuff that didn't make any sense and he was trying to translate the flemish slang 'poepeloere zat' to spanish so he just added '-os' to both words. which would make zatos poepeloeros
this song is about him so we added it as a joke on the end of the song.
BFM:I heard you are in the session of recording for the Debut, how does the progress?
JoeAnus: we were just doing some try-outs in a small studio for some songs. as a sort of preproduction. right now we're working our asses off to write really cool new songs and we hope to releast the first full length album in oktober 2014 on napalm records.
BFM:Did the members have a full-time job?
JoeAnus: only senne (drums) actually haha! i'm still studying, sam ( guitar) had to quit his job and nico (bass) is doesn't have a job either. we're totally dedicated to the band!
BFM:Do you have a support from the family while playing in both indoor live and abroad?
JoeAnus: yeah our families sometimes come to the show and they're really supportive because they see that we're really living for this music and that we're working hard to get the band to a higher level.
BFM:Don't call i'm too much curious, but I saw the small Logo on your guitar, but I forgot the brand of it. Can you tell me which brand of your V-Axe?
JoeAnus: haha i made the guitar myself. it's my own design and logo. i'm studying lutherie and that was the first electric guitar i've made.
BFM:Can you introduce the cool Belgian Thrash & Heavy Metal bands to our Readers?
JoeAnus: you have some cool bands here yeah! the ones that are really worth checking out are: horacle (heavy metal), prematory (thrash metal), and voltrage (hard rock). you also have some really young bands in which i see some potential: witchtrail (black thrash) and hammerhead (thrash) for example.
BFM:How did you work out before Jamming & Touring?
JoeAnus: you mean how we met each other? i started this band with a completely different line-up. i've known sam for years before he was in the band. i used to hang out with him and party. senne just came to the auditions when we were looking for a new drummer and he immediately fit in perfectly. nico just joined the band but i knew him for quite a while too because he used to be the bass player in voltrage And we played some shows together.
