Nuclear Punishment

No one can save you from the fury of Nuclear Punishment. From the asylum of Cavite, fueled with C4, gasoline and LPG these five piece will spare no one. Read more to know more about their brutal termulating musick.

Your sound is very technical. How would you define it?

Romel:"very technical" I don't think so but we do our best to sound a bit different from the other bands out there.I always encounter this same question every now and then and to honest with you I don't know how to define it properly. But thrash metal has always been our foundation.
Pierminator Termuloid: originally its just a basic disco beat, we just play it double time due to a limited time of recording (Recording so expensive we have to squeeze every sounds we made for each hours) and that's what happens. It's not that technical just a basic disco beat.

Coni: Each  one of us has description of this musick that we make. I call this brutal termulating music. I don’t know what it means, im not even a scholar in music. I’m not that very well educated in this subject of genres and stuff. For me it’s just the amalgamation of all the shit that influence us and the musick that we want to play.
What fuels the explosiveness of Nuclear Punishment?
romel:gasoline, lpg, c4 FOX-7 name it . we just want to go out there and play live with our friends and make friends we're not anger driven or hate driven, nuclear punishment is happy peaceful loving band and we promote world peace.
Pierminator Termuloid:Gasoline, C-4, goodbye earth, binladen. I don't know. Once we step up and play, we just have to do what we must.. To party.
COni : it was always our passion to play musick. I mean if you are asking me about fuel I take or toke, I had to say beer, weed and yes great friends to share those vices hehehehe… well we eventually kind of grew up these couple of years and I’m a bit lowering my doses of those coz what motivates me now is my kids, Max and Devon. Sometimes, when I’m holding the microphone, I just think of my kids and ill feel lighter and more contented. Back then it was just my disdain with the world and how shitty it was treatin me. Growing up made me more wiser and a lil bit unperturbed. Hence I don’t like people fighting on our shows, we’ve got gigs that when we play we get interrupted coz fights arise. Now I remind kids just relax and listen to our soothing display of passion. Relax lang kids!
•  Who are your greatest influence?
romel:from thrash, death metal, grind, hardcore, polka and techno but to name a few bands that inspire us I'd say Pantera, Slayer, Necrophagist, White Zombie, Necrophagist , Catharsis, Earth Crisis, Cannibal Corpse, The red Chord, Madball, Simple Plan and My Gaymichal Romance.

Pierminator Termuloid:I say metal from early 80's to late 90's and a bit of 00's. However, we love listening to disco music form late 70's to early 90's
Coni: my greatest influence would be my bandmates, my truest of friends, cartoons, video games and the shitty place I grew up called Pag-asa. For music, It would be Catharsis (CrimeThinc), What Happens next?, The Dillinger escape plan, Andy Mckee, Alice in Chains, Helmet, Pigdestroyer… fuck I listen to a bunch of stuff you wouldt think id be listening to hehehehe.. for the local scene its our buddies from xFeudx, Half the Battle, Down from the wound, Youth for Crust, Loss of Control, Religious Nightmare, Pus vomit, Richard Collier, The beauty of Doubt, some old skoll Dead Ends, G.I.+ Idiots and all those bands (even shitty ones) we’ve played with and all those we got to hung out and get acquainted w/ in our existence in this so called scene.
•  What does NP have that others do not?
romel:we have the best sex appeal that you can ever imagine and we have the worst work ethic that other bands don't have.
Pierminator Termuloid:We have big dicks that can penetrate.. Sorry bout that. We're not just a band, we're brothers. We've been hanging out our asses for more than ten years and been friends for more than 20 years. Maybe that's what we have that others don't. Seriously.
Coni:Me mike and john, we all grew up together. We 3 were classmates since grade 1. Mike and pao got to be classmates in high school. While romel is a cousin of our common friend. Mike, pao and I  live just a stone throw away from each other. We all grew up in this shitty hapless place called PAG-ASA. (How Ironic ) well we play what we want for fun and don’t follow trends or just stick with one shit sound progression chugga chugga that if you think about it is nauseatingly redundant. Who the fuck wants to sound like someone else?! Well I think were not the only ones who has these factors so I think we aint that too special. Im just proud that tru thick and thin we’re still alive doin what we love to do.
What are the usual theme of your songs
romel:back in the days it was war in the middle east, nowadays anything goes like personal experience and shit.

Pierminator Termuloid:To be honest.. I don't fuckin know our lyrics. Damn.
Coni: Well it differs from each and every song. I mostly write those words, just random toughts sometimes. Sometimes im driven by what shit im into at that time. Common themes are Wars (within thyself and those you get to watch on the news), friendship, drugs, women, instability in the system and ourselves. I try to stray to the perverse shit that we associated with coz chicks don’t dig it hehehehe.
•  Do you think NP already achieved its desired sound?
romel:personally speaking, I think we're on our way there and with the new songs that we're working I'd say that we will outdo our previous works to date. It will be the continuation of the Iron Mongoloid ep. It's a shame that we can't still play it live but you know how it goes. Never rush good shits.

Pierminator Termuloid:Not yet, we're still waiting for the calculation of quantum physics to be add up on our sounds.
Coni: No, not yet, im not yet contened with what we sound. We always outdo ourselves. Its just that we aint getting much practice as a band in a while. Fuck if we were, we’d be kicking those shitty bands you see on tv and spitting on those trendy bands in the face. Hahahaha nah were not that fucked up. We are just messin with you folks. There are pending new songs that as of now I’m just imagining people wouldn’t be moshing to or they would be dancing coz they just don’t understand it or it wouldn’t be even danceable for they wouldn’t know what was happening and ponder, “what the hell are these guys playing?” me like that!.
•  Pag hindi banda, Any other thing that keeps you guys busy?
romel:not much I just download tons of shit over the internet like UFC events, Bluray Films and series like Simpsons if that counts and I personally collect sports cars cause i'm a Zillionaire I just bought a new Ferrari " Termulator" 261 that I personally designed and it will be out spring of 2017 so check that out.

Pierminator Termuloid:Madami.. bukod sa pag aalaga sa anak at mag timpla ng gatas, nag iipon din ako pang hanap buhay upang mag karoon ng karagdagang pagkakakitaan at maayos na daloy ng buhay. Pinag aaralan ko rin ang direksyon sa agrikultura, sa tingin ko ang pag aalaga ng itlog ng manok ay mas malaki ang kita kesa mag trabaho sa opisina bla bla...
Coni: maliban sa pagiging ulirang ama, pumupunta ako sa bahay ng ermats at ermats ko makikikain ng mga paborito kong luto ng nanay ko. Nagbabasa ng mga manga, libro, fanzines, nagbubuo ng mga models, gundams, macross. Manood ng cartoons (kengkoy ika nga ng nanay ko) Simpsons, beavis and butt-head, futurama at kung ano ano pang mga ok na animasyon. Sasabihin ko sana kumantot pero kasi wala na e dina masyado ka kahalay kasi lagi naman na ginagawa at legal na kasi e. Ang gusto kong gawin ule yung makipagtalik sa dalawang tsiks halin-hingan. namimis ko na yung mga ganung panahon hehehehe… at syempre di mawawala ang kahit isang araw sa isang lingo na tatambay ako sa kalsada ng PAG-ASA umiinom ng malamig na serbesa at sumisindi ng napagandang Chonki kasama ang mga kaibigan ko at mga kabanda ko. Masyado kasing maiksi ang buhay para lagyan ang baga/katawan ng mga kemikal (e.g shabu), sigarilyo at ano pa mang bagay na wala namang tama.

I know Coni have a Gundam toy collection. meron pa bang iba? Ano pa ang ibang hobbies ninyo?

Pierminator Termuloid:Before, i love to collect Hardcore Porn Movies from romel, pao and coni. Yep they have this huge collection that can reach up to 1 terra bite of different scandals, hardcore porn and hentai's but now, Im collecting some children's educational dvd package like sesame street etc. for my baby and collect money for my wife . That's my hobby these days.
Coni: I think that I have answered that on that last question. I used to be so fucked up by mechs since is was a kid so when I landed a job and had money I bought every toy I want to get when I was a kid but when my 2nd son, Devon was born, I had to sacrifice my wants for the needs of my family…Oh yea I forgot I love to play retro video games, old school RPGs and any fucking game I can get ahold of from gameboy, sega, playstation, Nintendo to those games on my mobile phone. I have tons of games on my pc using emulators for even arcade games from the 90’s and 80’s…Ang isang alam kong gustong gustong gawin naming lahat e kumain ng spaghetti!!!
•  What have you been listening to lately?
Pierminator Termuloid:I'm listening to old sepultura, old machine head, white zombie, the never ending municipal waste, misery index and andy rehfeldt's channel in you tube. Sometimes, i waste my time into some classic baduy musics.. I miss my childhood when i listen to them. Try Gary V. and MC Hammer.
Coni: Wow there are a lot of shit in my playlists from comedy, death-meth-all, hardcore punk, ska, 80’ and 90’s rock, lounge and some easy listening shit.

After 10 or 20 years do you still see yourselves playing?
romel:I'd say we still have 10 years left and after that if we can still play fast I mean we'll go still.
Pierminator Termuloid:Yeah! I'll jam with my son in the future.
Coni: Hell fucking yea! Ill be doin this till I die. Well there aint no blood pact that we promised ourselves but we all want to do this for as long as we have the passion for it.
Any Future plans?
romel:by April I will push that we record our new songs and finally release it everywhere we will start with Russia then Japan then USA and finally Philippines after that I think we'll do our "World Termulation Tour".

Pierminator Termuloid:Iron Mongoloid EP. Wait for LP at billboard chart this year.
Coni: I love them all, like a father tries to love’s his sons evenly.
Last question tell us why we should listen to Nuclear Punishment?
romel:because if you don't we'll kill you. This is hard to answer and a lot of Metal guys out there won't dig our shit and I don't blame them, we are the worst band that you can listen to and we don't have much to offer. But one thing I can say in our 8 year existence, we never followed any trend.
Pierminator Termuloid:We intend to create music that listeners may find it hard to listen to, for us, that's our achievement.. We're not gonna blend in today's trends and once our mom's start to dance with grooves of NP, we quit. If you have the same philosophy then I dare you to listen to us.
Coni: Don’t read  the lyrics, don’t decipher and compare the music… just feel the elation we emanate while we satisfy your senses. Thank s for the intie  and in behalf of my party party list, Keep an open mind ya all
