Interview at: The Common Room Network Foundation,
Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, 2 April 2012
Popo Question 1:
Hi Wong Die and Nenx, thank you so much for interview with BUSUK WEBZINE. We honor
and respect metal chicks playing brutal death-metal music. I think this
interview will be very interesting for many people. First please tell us the
history of your band.
GIRLZEROTH
Question 1: For the first formation the name was DEMIGOD. We changed because
there was already a band which had that name.
Popo2: How do
you get the band name of GIRLZEROTH and is it based on the name of GORGOROTH?
GIRLZEROTH2:
GIRLZEROTH does not have a special meaning. The band is dominated by the girls
so we wanted to put the word “girl” into the band name. And ROTH does not mean
anything.
Popo3: How is
progress for your album?
GIRLZEROTH3: We
just have a [two-song] demo now but we plan to release our album after we
finish it. Many people who know our demo support it much but some people don’t
like our demo and one day some people threw our demo [on the floor].
Popo4: Why do
you like to play death-metal?
Nenx (GIRLZEROTH)4: I started to know death-metal from 11-years-old. I like pop but
I prefer death-metal because I just love the music.
Wong (GIRLZEROTH)4:
It is a must because I came from a hardcore band so I must learn and like
death-metal.

Popo5: When and
how did you get involved in the metal scene?
GIRLZEROTH5:
When we practice in the studio some guy asked us to play on some gig. Firstly
we just played in the studio. We started to play on many stages. We play at
many festivals.
Popo6: As women
do you enjoy to be part of the metal scene here in Bandung?
GIRLZEROTH6: We
enjoy staying in the metal scene and the metal scene allows us to [honestly]
show all our emotions.
Popo7: Do you
think the metal guys respect you or they just like hot chicks?
GIRLZEROTH7:
Some people respect and some people do not respect. Maybe 80% respect us and
20% do not. Actually we change the answer to maybe 50% respect us and 50% do
not. Fighting for the girl band is really hard. Many guys try to kill our band!
Popo8: What goal
do you have for the band?
GIRLZEROTH8: We
want to explore death-metal music. We want to go on tour with PANTHERA. [KJ:
That is PANTHERA not PANTERA.]

BEHEMOTH, NECROPHAGHIST, FLESHGOD APOCALPYSE, NILE, KILLHARMONIC, JASAD, DEATH

have many woman friends in the metal scene?

have many friends in the other communities but not many in the metal community.
Popo11: Which
people or bands helped you most in the metal scene?

Bandung Death Fest. We received much feedback and information after the show
and it helped us.
