What’s this for? Well, usually, when I read a certain mag, I can’t but wonder who are those guys responsible for giving birth to this edition. Who are they, what’s their stance, et cetera. Therefore, if anyone’s interested in finding out who (and what’s no less important, what ;)) am I, check out the below-cited form.

Full name: Kai Mathias Stalhammar
 
Date of birth: 23rd of January 1979 a.t.b.b.
 
Marital state: single while now. What I mean is, everything has a tendency of changing with time, and most often, for worse.
 
Attitude to religion: atheist
 
Typical characteristic qualities: egoism, obstinacy, impulsiveness, straightforwardness, prudence and excessive laziness.
 
Education: Moscow State University
 
Profession: journalist (with an economical bias)
 
Speaks: English (good), Spanish (mediocre), Norwegian (horribly), Latin (horribly)
 
First interview ever conducted: LET ME DREAM (September 1997 a.t.b.b.)
 
Specialization: pseudo-intellectual interviews via Internet. Currently conducting more or less standard chats – enough splitting hair.
 
First metal gig ever attended: IRON MAIDEN live in Moscow.
 
First metal band ever heard: METALLICA (“Master Of Puppets”)
 
Top 10 of all times:
ROSSOMAHAAR – all
DARK TRANQUILLITY – all
BURZUM – all
RUNNING WILD – all
ëïòïìø é ûõô – all
EDGE OF SANITY – “Purgatory Afterglow”
BATHORY – all albums except “Octagon”
DANZIG – all
VITAL REMAINS – all
A.VIVALDI – “The Four Seasons”
And probably HIM as well. What could be better than listening to "Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights" while driving a car, huh?
 
Interview-dream: BURZUM
 
Gig-dream: as some of you probably know, there’s a band called DUSK, of Pakistan origin. I suppose it would be nice to attend their live show… And taking into the account what’s happening in this goddamn world nowadays, a trip to Karachi may be quite interesting experience. :))
 
Likes: lager beer, red wine, cats and having sex in weird places
 
Dislikes: crowded places, subway, phoners.
 
Can’t stand: so-called “American lifestyle”, racial and territorial integration, everyone considering him / herself “politically correct”, pacifism, the crowd, boorishness, feeble- and narrow-mindedness, everything that is “fashionable”.
 
Considers valuable: those who are sincere, obliging, straightforward, capable of telling “no”.
 
Considers worthless: liars, those who depend on anyone and strive for being "stylish".
 
Hobbies: reading (Hamsun, Zweig, de Sade, Perumov, Lovecraft, historical literature), driving.
 
Would commit suicide: in case of incurable deafness (inability to listen to music).
 
Enough? Or maybe not? Well, you can always email me in order to enlarge this questionnaire. I'd be glad to answer any kind of questions.
