Q:
Men gud va du är bitter Anders, det enda han vill är ju att se er spela. Sen kan väl band faktiskt arrangera spelningar själva. Tror inte ni är så stora att det inte skulle funka
A:
Bitterheten är kanske inte helt på blodigaste allvar... :)
Men ändå: jag har varit arrangör tidigare i livet och det är inget jag tänker plocka upp igen. Det finns massor av duktiga arrangörer i stan som gärna får sköta den biten. / Anders

Q:
Good morning, Anders.
I read a previous question and you said Coldworker and Pig Destroyer were going to be doing a split?
In my opinion, that would honestly be one of the best splits ever created. =D
Any news on this topic?

A:
Not really. It's a Coldworker, Antigama, Pig Destroyer split for Relapse's mailorder. Our track is the bonus from the Japanese version of "The Contaminated Void". Don't know how exclusive the other bands material is. / Anders

Q:
Hey Anders
Have you heard any of "Job for a Cowboy"? If so, then do you think they are any good? Because here in America their is a massive popularity wave over these guys, but quit frankly I dont see anything so special about them, perhaps its the bands young age that gets everyone so enthused about them. Im not saying there bad im just confused why their so popular:)

Hey, Anders! I've been searching the web for some time, and I still haven't found out what is actually Nasum. I know you took the name from that Frankenstein movie, but ... what is actually Nasum?

Q:
Hey again, Anders.
Does having someone else in your band with the same name ever get confusing?
Say if someone in Coldworker asked "Anders" to do something, you answer, but they actually directed it to Anders Bertilsson? =D

The nature of the question usually indicates which Anders it's for. But "Anders" is usually me, and "Bertilsson" the other Anders. / Anders

Q:
Hey, Anders.
I know your drumming is more then just speed,
involving technical, groove stuff and what not, which sounds kick ass,
but I was wondering what your fastest song on drums was for Nasum?
I thought "Supernova" was pretty damn lightning fast.

A:
I honestly have no idea. I think the blast tempo is pretty even on all tracks. Live a few songs usually was sped up on purpose, mostly on the closing blast part. / Anders

Q:
Hej Anders,
Grindcore i all ära, men har du/ni aldrig funderat på att väcka Charles till liv igen? Enligt mig är "Orden inom mig" den bästa skiva som släppts i sin genre. Har förresten gamla konsertbilder på er från Badhuset nån gång på 90-talet (kanske inte är ensam om det).

Q:
Hi!
just wanted to ask you about one thing that is like a shared concern for all of us. How is your hearing after these years of playing so loud? Ringing or anything, since I haven´t seen any plugs in your ears while playing live. Thanks for everything.

Q:
Hejsan anders, vem är sångaren på dom första låtarna på "grind finale" låter tungt. Hade ni planer på att lägga ner ändå om Mieszko hade överlevt?(kanske lite känsligt men är tvungen att fråga)
R.i.p. Mieszko, saknaden är stor!
R.i.p. Mieszko, saknaden är stor!
A:
Rickard Alriksson, originaltrummisen sjunger på de första 66 låtarna. När det gäller den andra frågan så hade det berott på vilket skick han hade befunnit sig i. Om han t.ex hade dragit på sig liknande skador som hans flickvän så hade det troligen varit slut på Nasum som turnérande band. / Anders

Q:
Good day to you, Anders.
Meaning to ask this before, I forgot about it.
I was wondering why "No Paradise For The Damned" was re-done and put on "Shift" when it was already on "The Black Illusions" like... 8 years difference between the albums.
Is there some meaning behind that song in order for it to be re-recorded?
I just think it's a powerful track, and who's ever desicion to re-do it, was a damn good one.

A:
It's pretty much explained in the "track by track" (see the discography section):
4. No Paradise for the Damned
- This is the only rerecording of a released track we've done for any of our albums. We didn't plan to record it, it just happened. We had talked about adding this song - originally from the Abstain split - to our liveset but never managed to really pick it out from the badly played and badly recorded original release. But somehow we came to talk about it during the "Shift" session and I went home and pushed myself to finally pick it out. So I did it and we recorded it, but it never made it into the liveset anyway.
---
Apart from that I think the song added a feeling of the old days, a more straight on grindcore song among the more modern songs we wrote. / Anders

Q:
Jag har haft den här frågan på skallen flera dagar nu, och jag lyckas inte släppa den. Känn dig fri att utmåla ditt svar hur du vill, om det skulle kännas som ett intrång på ditt privatliv.
Men jag har suttit och läst texterna till varenda låt ni har gjort. Speciellt är det dessa textrader som speciellt fångade min uppmärksamhet, och dessa var:
Capitalism takes its last sigh
As the fundamental values return.
Jag vet även att Mieszko skrev massor av liknande grejor, så nu till min fråga. Hur var det politiskt ställningstagandet i Nasum?

Worst. Band. Ever. I must say that the first split is such a relentless recording that it remains my favorite just because of that. But it's all cool. / Anders

Q:
Howdy, Anders.
I was checking through the "Human 2.0" page on the Discography part of the site, and I saw what you had said about it...
"Human 2.0" was partly destroyed in the mastering. "
I noticed that this album had a much more raw sound to it, a really wicked/brutal, crisp quality, but what exactly happened with the mastering..?
If you could tell me, I thank you dearly.
(P.S. - The new drums look awesome! =D )

Q:
I am Finnish, so I'm taught Swedish, and I can pick a bit up from what Nils has asked you, Mr. Jakobson.
So did you play drums on Shift? I'm a bit confused about a few words you used in the answer to Nils' question.
As I previously said, Shift is my fav album by Nasum. The riffs are PURE POWER and the drumsounds are ones of the best I've ever heard in GrindCore. What was the snare brand & model if you remember? It sounds a bit like my friend's 70's Slingerland 14"x5.5" snare.
