MMP – How did the band get started?
S.D.I. – In early 1986 I’ve been in the studio with my former band „Black Jack Co“. We recorded two songs and tried to get a deal with a record company. We got the same reply everytime: „Quite nice boys, but don’t you have something faster and harder?.“ I phoned my old-time mate Ralf maunert and told him to play as fast as he could (And that was quite fast). Within one week we had offers from two different record companies and finally signed a contract with gama-records.

MMP – Where did the band name come from?
S.D.I. – We tried to find a name which is remarkable. The thoughts were:
What’s evil: Satan
What’s the worst thingbesides dying, that could happen to you: being raped
Badest of the bad must be Sombody who rapes Satan: Satans Defloration Inc

S.D.I. – I do
Lyrics?
Me too, guilty in the first degree
MMP – And where do the lyric ideas come from?
S.D.I. – Different. It depends on the song and the time I wrote it. I was 22 when we recorded the first album, Ralf was 21 and Frank was 18. Many of the songs had a punk attitude (Disappointment etc), Some were political (Sign of the wicked), some were weird wishes of a young man (I wanna fuck you), The lyrics became more serious from SDI to Mistreated, due to the fact that I grew up and the music changed from pure fun to a more serious metal.
