Since 1993 you remain recording and touring a lot. What inspires you to record more music?
Takaho UG: it's simple. making new songs is always very fun !
Your
albums are total DIY, sound raw, fast and loud, just what every
grindfreak need! In your opinion which is the best environment to record
Unholy Grave's music?
Takaho UG: most
of UG recordings were done by myself with 8 track recorder at our small
rehearsal studio. and I do mixing job at my small room. love &
passion for the music is the key-word.
A lot of your albums and splits says the word grind in them. What means grind for you?
Takaho UG: a kind of LIFE WORK.
You played last year at Obscene Extreme Asia, how was that experience?
Takaho UG: it was such a great experience even though the weather was terrible !
nice people,nice food...
it's always cool to hangout with AGX guys.
Unholy Grave is really old school style but few bands reach that level of raw intensity. What do you think about modern grindcore bands?
Takaho UG: Thank you for your kind words.
Anyway,I like old-school single-foot BLASTBEAT like REPULSION. and I also like old-school MINCECORE like AGATHOCLES.
modern grindcore bands ? I respect them all.
Lyrics are an important part of Unholy Grave. What usually inspires you to write?
Takaho UG: absurdity occurred in this fucked-up world.
sometimes films/books inspires me,too.

It
always caught my attention a phrase that you use in artworks,
"Grindcore Against Terrorism", and also many songs against it. It's an
emotional impact to read that lyrics. Do you believe is it possible to
reach a peaceful society, with no more terrorism?
Takaho UG: I know it's very difficult. but it's the place to go to....
