I noticed that "Master of Disaster" had a really modern sound despite having all the classic Holy Moses elements. Is "Disorder of the Order" going to follow the same path?
Sabina: It`s always hard to describe the own music. Disorder Of The Order is
having pure all classic Holy Moses elements with a sound which supports the
style of Holy Moses.

How did you achieve that heavier than hell sound that Holy Moses music has? I think it is a combination between the vocals, drums and heavy guitars...is that OK?

Sabina: Yeah, you are totaly right. The instruments drums and rhythm guitars an in a way combinated to my voice in a special way what is the sound of Holy Moses. We are using my voice like a instrument and not something what is standing over the music lines. I think that is making the typical sound of the band.

How different is the way in which you compose your music nowadays than in the beginnings of Holy Moses?
Sabina: We still have the same way of working through all the years. We are starting with the drumbeat and the different kind of counting in the drumbeats - we include directly the rhythm guitars and checking out the feel of my voice, I think that makes the music of us. We are not composing in the
style of chorus, bridge and riffs - we are working how we are feeling....and
not in a typical way of writing a hit.


What are the lyrics in "Disorder..." about?
Sabina: Like I do it - a mix between political stuff and the things which
are going aroung me in the world. So, their is a song "We are at war", what
I wrote on the 11th, september 01...and we have back a comic in the booklet
to support the lyrics and the story behind "disorder of the order"...the
chaos in the world...and what the future will be in our way of thinking. I
don`t wanna tell more, ´cause the comic will explain everything....

Do you have plans of touring to support "Disorder..."?
Sabina: yes, we will go on tour and we are now planing everthing, it will
start around July/August...


I think that you are singing more gutturaly now...am I right?
Sabina: Oh, I don`t know how I should describe my kind of vocals, I do it
always like I am feeling...

How was your experience in the Wacken Open Air festival?
Sabina: Wacken Open air was great for us. A real cool feeling to see, that
all the fans are standing still behind us...and everybody got crazy when
Doro Pesch was entering the stage with me and singing with me "Too drunk to
fuck"...


Which are your memories on the "Queen of Siam" or "Finished with the Dogs" era?
Sabina: A real great memory, `cause it was our start in the biz and it`s was
the foundation to be still in the scene and doing albums...

Which are the bands that you like most nowadays? Which is your opinion on
the death metal - black metal - grindcore scene in Europe?
Sabina: I am still listening to all kind of metal nowadays. The
death/black/grindcore scene is in Europe is real big....and some of the
bands I like realy...but I am realy back to the roots - metal listener.....

Something more that you would like to add?
Sabina: thank you all for supporting HOLY MOSES through all the years and I
hope to see ya on the Disorder Of the Order Tour 2002/2003 - I hope we will
come to Argentina in the following months......

Yours Sabina
