-Beside the passion in few indie labels' owners, who are definitely still fans before sellers, how d'you see the prevailing tendency of most of the big indie labels to level their bands' quality, so as to make them sound similar the way the public want, and be sure to sell a bunch of copies? Which also happened to one of your bands, who were required to find a cute frontwoman and have more aggressive sounds…

THAT'S NORMAL. RECORD LABELS (CODE666 TOO) ARE NOTHING BUT MERCHANTS. AND A MERCHANT HAVE TO SELL HIS STUFF. NOBODY'S UPSET IF A FASHION COMPANY TRY TO PRODUCE TRENDY STUFF, SO WHY A RECORD COMPANY CANNOT DO IT? I MEAN, CODE666 IS A SMALL CULT LABEL, SO IF WE WILL START PRODUCING TRENDY STUFF, WE WILL LOOSE THE FEW FANS WE HAVE, BUT NUCLEAR BLAST MUST ACT LIKE THIS, IF NOT, WILL BECOME A SMALL ONE LIKE CODE666… MUSIC IS A PRODUCT FOR ALL THE LABELS, MAJOR AND INDIE, SAD BUT TRUE…

-What music styles do you never listen to and would you never release?

I DON'T LIKE 99% OF THE SO-CALLED ITALIAN MUSIC, POP, FOLK, ROCK, WHATEVER… I HATE THE ITALIAN-WAY TO MAKE MUSIC…

-What compromises does a young boy with little money have to accept in order to found a death or black label in Italy?

NO COMPROMISES, JUST: WORKING HARD EVERY DAY, FIX YOUR GOALS FROM THE BEGINNING, NEVER LOOSE THE DIRECTION, IMPROVE AND LEARN FROM THE OTHERS, AND FINALLY NEVER, NEVER, NEVER THINK TO BECOME RICH WITH THAT… IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

-What malignant tumours afflict the Italian HM scene and the HC one?

I WOULD SPEAK ABOUT THE ENTIRE ITALIAN MUSIC SCENE… THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POP AND METAL OR BETWEEN PUNK AND HARDCORE… MUSIC MATTERS… AND ITALIAN MUSIC SUCKS… IT'S NOT A TUMOR, THE FACT IS THAT THE MUSIC SUCKS FOR A LOT OF REASONS:
NO MUSICAL CULTURE , NO GOVERNEMENT-HELPS FOR THE MUSICIANS, A SHITTY ROYALITES COMPANY (SIAE), AND AN EXTENDED ATTITUDE TO COPY THE OTHERS INSTEAD OF MAKING SOMENTHING ON OUR OWN…

-How many hours do U spend for Code666 a week?

HARD TO SAY… I WORK ABOUT 10 HOURS A DAY FOR CODE666, EVERY DAY (SATHURDAY AND SUNDAY AND CHRISTMASS AND BIRTHDAY AND LAST YEAR DAY INCLUDED)… AND I DO THIS SINCE 1993… WITHOUT HAVING A SINGLE PENNY FROM ALL THIS, NEVER…

-What goals do U still miss with your courageos label?

A LOT!!! REALLY TOO MANY !!! I WANT A BETTER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK, A BETTER PROMOTION, BETTER VISUAL PRESENTATION, BETTER WEBSITE, BETTER BANDS, BETTER ORGANIZATION, BETTER MARKETING-PLANS, BETTER IDEAS, BETTER, BETTER, BETTER, BETTER…
