ATTN : I HAVE DECIDED TO START ANEW WITH MY NEW PROJECT, SUBCOMANDANTE INSURGENTE. Maybe I'll upload one or two new tracks here that'd sound out-of-place under the new name, who knows?

Schadenfreude is the brainchild of one (twisted-ish) individual. It is a project of feedback-drenched power electronics and harsh noise soundscapes with the occasional digital hardcore and industrial influences. For me, Schadenfreude is a form of expression, a release, but to you, Schadenfreude is what it is. Listen, understand, and enjoy the noise. Thank you.

(Leaving a comment/message on my message board wouldn't hurt either, good or bad)

Oh yeah, I AM NOT GERMAN. DO NOT SEND ME EMAILS/LEAVE MESSAGES IN GERMAN. You wouldn't know how many people email me in German, thinking I'm a German. Thank you for reading. I know, "Schadenfreude" is a German word, but I found it in the f***ing dictionary! I only know what it means, and I like it! So there.

Unauthorized distribution/duplication of the music is allowed and encouraged. Play the music everywhere you can, at dirty rotten volumes. Scare the neigbours, get the cops off their asses, f*** copyrights.

Why this name?
scha·den·freu·de - Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

Not exactly my personality in real life, but when it comes to music, it's dead on. Found it in a dictionary, I did.
Do you play live?
Would I really waste my time sitting in front of a computer, play a playlist of my tunes on Winamp and jack off to hentai in front of a crowd with epilepsy-inducing lights all around me and a video playing on the screen behind me? Hmm? Anyone?

Okay, honest answer. If I had the equipment (and if necessary, people to perform with), I probably would. Wouldn't know where, though. There is NO noise/dhc/industrial scene where I live (probably applies for the rest of the f***ing country too), so... meh.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
With the internet and mp3 technology, I can produce music and release it, without having to put them on cassettes/cds. I can also gain recognition from people throughout the world, instead of hoping that someone locally will take notice. As it is, I'm probably bigger in the rest of the world than I am in my own country. Hr.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on what you would consider major. Mainstream? Hell no. Major? Maybe.
Band History:
Started Jan. '04 as a gabber/digital hardcore act. Come the later months of the year, Schadenfreude evolved into a much-more noise oriented act, which is the direction Schadenfreude is progressing in now, and it looks like the direction Schadenfreude will be heading in until the day that it ceases to function anymore, which, hopefully, will be in the distant future.
Your influences?
Schizoid, The Shizit, Venom8888, Redlevel Terrorism, All Out Assault, Subliminal Mind Sodomy, Psychological Bomb Factory, Bomb20, Atari Teenage Riot, Ultraviolence, Merzbow, As All Die, Navicon Torture Technologies, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubaten, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Anal Cunt, Napalm Death, Aborym, Anaal Nathrakh
Equipment used:
FL Studio 4.5.1 (FL Studio 5 is too f***ing big) - All composition, most of the distortion/fx
GoldWave - Sample editing, sampling, etc.

All distortion and other fx done in real time in FL Studio with a combination of VSTi's. GoldWave is strictly for sampling and sample editing. Okay, occasionally I use it for distortion/other fx, but not usually.
