BFM:Hi! I'm Zoham! you're with Beer Friendly Music from Thailand, could you say something to our readers?
Ricky: Hi Rezetbangers, heavy greetz to all of you in Thailand!
BFM:From the beginning, could you tell me about the feeling of the latest gig Rezet have been played?
Ricky: Sure, our latest gig was our 10th anniversary concert on December 13th. That was one of the best shows we've ever head, I believe. The house was packed with about 400 attending people that went totally crazy. Yes, it surely was one of our best nights ever, but also the one with the highes production costs, haha!
BFM:Did you ever get interviewed from the D.I.Y. Fan/blogzine like mine before?
Ricky: We get interviewed from everywhere. But I think you're probably one of the first from Thailand! Feel welcomed!
Thorben: Great to see that people like us from all over the world!
BFM:Now, could you tell us a bit of the band's history?
Ricky: Thorben and me started playing the guitar together in school when we were about 12 years old or so. That was in 2002/2003. When we discovered Metallica's "Master Of Puppets" it was over. We knew what we wanted exactly to do. Since then we've put a lot of work in Rezet, released many demos in the early days and two full length albums. We toured a lot of European countries and are going to release our third album in early/mid 2015!
BFM:What came to the name of 'Rezet'? Is it came from german spelling of the word 'Reset' or something behind that word?
Ricky: Rezet is just the english word "reset" with a z instead of an s. The German word is completely different. The meaning behind the band's name is that we wanted to "reset" everything Metal stood for in times of crappy pop-metal during the beginning of the 21st century.
BFM:How many people approximately attended to the shows in your Local area?
Ricky: That's different as with any underground Metal band. It can range from 50 to - as mentioned before - 400 or even more people. We don't mind.
BFM:I saw Ricky & Thorben playing with Lemmy of Violent Force. How did you contacted him in the first place?
Ricky: Jorgen of "Hellion Records" and "Headbangers Open Air" made this possible. He saw us covering "Dead City" several times and we even played it once with original Violent Force guitarist "Stachel". It was always Jorgen's dream to have Violent Force at the "Heabangers Open Air" so he told Lemmy that he'd have a great back-up band for him, which was us, Rezet.
BFM:How's the feedback since H.G.W.T. to Civic Nightmares?
Ricky: The feeback is mostly overwhelming, whether it's about our records or our live shows, so I think we've done everything right. Just wait for our next album, people will freak out, I promise!
Thorben: And this time we'll have a real caretaking label and not a bunch of dickheads trying to betray us!
BFM:If you can pick up the bands to be the Next Teutonic 4 of German Thrash Metal, which one will you pick?
Ricky: I don't know, and I don't respect those lists really.
BFM:What is the best and the worst thing that ever happened on Rezet's live shows?
Ricky: Girls throwing strings at us wasn't that bad. Playing Wacken Open Air, the Headbangers Open Air, several other festivals and European cities, that's always cool! I think there isn't one 100% perfect show. There's always something "bad" happening...
Thorben: I don't remember a really bad gig. Like Ricky said, there's always something like a broken string. Never mind, keep on playing, rock 'n' roll!
BFM:Did the members have a full-time job or still studying?
Ricky: We still have to work/study beside the band but hope that this will change with our next album!
BFM:Is it difficult for being a touring band, like being away from your parents, girlfriends or something else?
Ricky: It's the best thing you can get a free mind. To me there's nothing better than being in another place everyday! We've never toured that long to miss someone... our tours are usually just about 2 weeks long.
BFM:Which metal guitarists inspired you?
Ricky: Dave Mustaine and Chris Poland, the early Megadeth - lineup in general, so amazing! Besides that of course all the other great thrashers like Exodus, Slayer and so on. But also a lot of 70's Rock like Hendrix, Purple, Zeppelin etc.
BFM:Did your parents have any opinion about playing Thrash Music and touring?
Ricky: I think they like and respect what we do. My mum just thinks that I'd live under the bridge at some point if I don't start learning a "real job", haha!
Thorben: Our parents are very proud of us and have always been supporting us 100%. Since I'm an IT-technician who finished his apprenticeship, my parents don't worry about my future... yet!
BFM:Before the show. Do you have any exercise and warm-up your body?
Ricky: We stopped partying like madmen before the shows and even in general. No more drugs and only a few beers here and there. You see, we usually didn't have some gymnastics or sports as warm-ups, haha! I just try to relax and stay backstage as long as I can before a show. I love the fans but need time for myself before the shows, like inner meditation if you want. Like half an hour before the show I start playing some of our songs to warm up my fingers, that's it!
Thorben: In my opinion it always depends on the venue where we are playing. Like Ricky said, the days of drinking oceans of alcohol before the gigs are over. If there are cool bands playing that day, I, or rather we, like to watch them play of course, but we always need time for ourselves. Warming up before the show is really important, we play unplugged backstage together, mostly.
BFM:This Question has nothing todo with the rest but where is the nicest place for visiting in Schleswig Area? I ask because I'm not familiar with this name haha.
Ricky: It's really boring in the North of Germany although I love the landscape of the sea, that's definetaly something worth visiting where we live, the sea. Just come visiting us in Schleswig and we'll show you around...
BFM:Name the 5 best albums that you loved most!
Ricky: That's too hard to choose, sorry! There's so much Metal, punk and rock music and even some blues and jazz and classical music I love.
Thorben: Same here, it's too hard to decide. As Ricky said, we're not only focussing on thrash metal, but also on punk, rock, jazz, blues, other types of metal in general and everything that sounds good and is handmade with love.
BFM:As we are Beer Friendly Music Group. so I have to ask which is the most delicious beer you have tasted?
Ricky: I like Heineken and Veltins the most. Astra is a good option as well.
Thorben: I'm with Ricky but I like many German beers. Heineken, Astra, Veltins and Krombacher are my favorites.
BFM:How's the Progress of the 3rd Album? What can we expect from it?
Ricky: The production is almost done, we've spent half a year on it to get the perfect album. You guys will be blown away, trust me. It combines everything Metal should be! It's hard, fast, melodic, sometimes slow but still pounding, amazing guitar solos, great hooks... I can't wait to hold the final pressing in my hands!
BFM:We're almost done. Did you have any plans to bring Rezet to play in South East Asian area and Thailand?
Ricky: Yes, we were actually supposed to play in Singapore in 2013 but it didn't work for some reason...
BFM:Last and but least, give some strong words for those who about to Thrash (And those did it half-assedly)
Ricky: Thailand Rezetbangers! Stay tuned for upcoming Rezet news! Our new album will be out soon and we've planned a (almost) worldwide tour! Metal on!
