Before contacting this Wacko! Here’s a little interview with delirious Rick. I thought it was essential to present you this crazy guy behind 7HZ & Dethfuk:

Can you tell us more about the future releases on 7HZ?

There were/are a few things planned "peeple" either never follow thru or are real fucking slow (in the head), which works out fine…I have little time & even less money. There won’t be another 7HZ release for a while. Dethfuk have things in the works for release on other labels… "Armenia/Dethfuk" split is out on Bizarre Audio Arts. There’s a 4 way split (not sure who’s on it) on B.A.A. as well…"Let it rot" (P.O. box 57 keene, ONT Kol-2G0 Canada) has released a Dethfuk CD. Thanx Leonardo, Bloomer, Patrick (self abuse), P. Zincken (new noise)…

Explain role in Dethfuk, why did you choose such a name?

I am Dick Dethfuk. I play anti-guitar/bass, anal-og synth, metal/junk, tapes, feedback manipulation, etc…As for the name it is very open to interpretation. I like the way it sounds…Death & Fucking! 2 of my favorite things. Not easy to forget, Standard advertising wizardry, marketing strategy.

Are you satisfied with your split with ODAL?

If I wasn’t it’d never have been released… I esp like our little collab-abortion…

Anything to add?

Yeah! It’s going around that Dethfuk ain’t serious…I’m as serious as Death motherfuckers… I’ve been playing improvised music (& other musics) for over 20 years…pretentious snobs! I am above the law… I’ve recently jammed with MSBR, Government alpha, as well as a regular set guesting w/TADM, serious enough?…"dethfuk", "Sex object", "afterglow", "Monolith" & "dethfuk /Odal" split available thru self abuse or for possible trade contact me (see email address).
I have been playing in a free improv unit known as "Dr.Meathook" which features "Archie Leitch" ex-Nihilist Spasm Band Original Member...we have played many gigs so far... The 2nd gig we played, "Flatline Construct" a harsh noise project (Ont, Canada) opened up for us and we also jammed together for the last set. More gigs incl."F.C.","dethfuk", & "dr. meathook" are also in planning stages...I will continue w/DETHFUK till the end of time...NOISE UNTIL DETH-FUK ME DED.
