T: ¿Porque el mítico nombre de Abrahel? Vemos que la promoción del Promo Cd. fue brutal ¿Muy Pareja como la seria la de un Cd. debut en sí?
Incuberus: ¡Oscuros Saludos, Hermano TchorT!
Pues el nombre de Abrahel era ya un nombre que tenía yo en la cabeza desde el año 1995.
También tenía una historia en la cabeza que contar, y me puse a buscar nombres de demonios.
Vi que todos estaban ya usados por bandas, menos algunos entre ellos el de Abrahel.
Desde el principio fue un nombre que me sedujo muchísimo, y me venía como anillo al dedo para desarrollar mi historia.
La promo ha funcionado bastante bien. No nos podemos quejar demasiado.
Los discos de debut son siempre difíciles de hacerlos caminar por sí solos, porque nadie te conoce, y hay muchísimas bandas en el mercadode una escena que, ya de por sí, está muy saturada.
T: Ahora ya con la salida del Cd. Debut “Abrahel” una pieza de colección y de conocedores del buen Metal en cuanto a música y el entorno mágico que guarda éste en sus letras como en su diseño, ¿Que esperamos?
Incuberus: El primer episodio. El inicio de todo.
La introducción a la historia que se contará en posteriores entregas.
En éste primer trabajo se cuenta con detalle acerca de la persona humana que finalmente se convertirá en el demonio súcubo Abrahel. El cómo y el porqué.
Y en el apartado musical, una música que actúa comobanda sonora de nuestros textos, y que a veces, sin tener que escribir demasiado, el oído del oyente hace el resto para comprender lo que se está contando en todo momento.
Todo está concebido para funcionar a la vez. Así que recomiendo abiertamente a todo aquél que escuche nuestro disco que, primero se lo ponga de principio a fin y deje volar su imaginación durante 52 minutos.
Luego que lo vuelva a escuchar y que trate de seguir la letra mientras la música suena.
Es un disco pensado para que sea escuchado de principio a fin pero las canciones, cada una capítulos diferentes del primer episodio, están concebidas para que individualmente puedan funcionar por sí solas también.
T: Dos Intros, divididas alucinantes que teletransportan a un campo de batalla creados por ustedes para nosotros, Cuatro poderosos tracks divididos en tracks de duración no muy corta y dos largas con un final de regreso o quizás como dice pasaje al otro mundo cierran esta. ¿Comentamos tema por tema?
Incuberus: En realidad es una introducción solamente, pero está dividida en dos partes.
Se separó para darle fluidez a la escucha. Ya que supusimos que, más de uno le daría hacia adelante una vez hubiera escuchado la primera parte.
Así que lo dividimos en dos pistas para facilitar a todo aquél que quisiera omitir la primera parte de la introducción titulada “Through the Edge of Violence” y quisiera irse directamente a “Agens Odio Vestri”.
O incluso, si quisiera omitir las dos, e irse directamente a “Morkath The Wrathman”.
Comentemos pues tema por tema:
1. - “Through the Edge of Violence”:
Es el ataque de los hombres de Morkath a un poblado. Justo cuando el clima es adverso y el pueblo atacado no se lo espera porque es de noche y están todos a cubierto de la lluvia.
Oímos a unos primeros jinetes a caballo que se detienen esperando la señal.
La señal se oye después de que la cabeza del vigilante del poblado sea cortada y caiga al suelo.
Primero hay una primera embestida a caballo y más tarde llegan los guerreros de a pie llevándose a su paso todo lo que pueden por delante.
Podemos oír los gritos de las mujeres y los llantos de los bebés, así como el fragor de la batalla.
2.-“Agens Odio Vestri”:
Es el canto triunfal de Morkath.
Significa “Inflamado de odio hacia vosotros” en latín.
3.-“Morkath The Wrathman”:
Aquí es donde se da a conocer a Morkath en su máximo esplendor y en plena acción.
Hay un Ente que se fija en él que ha estado durante varios siglos buscando un alma como la suya para dar vida a lo que más tarde será el demonio Súcubo Abrahel.
Siente todo lo que sucede en el interior de nuestro personaje, se le presenta y le habla.
4.-“Black Lips of Sexual Doom (The Dark Nymph):
Ésta es la única canción del disco en donde se habla del demonio súcubo Abrahel.
Aquí presento a nuestra musa y personaje principal de toda la historia, y de la que daremos cuenta en posteriores entregas.
“…Ella es el súcubo más lujurioso. Y su nombre…Abrahel”
5.-“Transcend the Gateway”:
Morkath se encuentra en el otoño de su vida, y es ahí cuando finalmente toma la decisión de morir como humano y nacer como bestia recogiendo el guante que el Ente le lanzó.
También aquí se explica y se da un pequeño repaso a su vida y damos a conocer el porqué de muchas cosas en cuanto a su manera de ser y comportamiento ya relatados en la tercera pista del disco. Y de porqué finalmente toma su decisión.
Musicalmente es un pequeño homenaje también al Padre Quorthon y a todo su legado, lamentablemente fallecido en 2004.
6.-“The Priests of Transition”:
Es el ritual de transición contado en primera persona por nuestro hombre.
Lo que ve, oye y siente.
También se da a conoceraquí a los oscuros Sacerdotes de la Transición.
7.-“Passage”:
Es un tema instrumental que no necesita palabras para expresar nada, más que una pequeña anotación en el libreto para ayudar al oyente a comprenderlo todo.
Passage en inglés significa tránsito.
Y éste es el tránsito entre los estados humano y demoníaco que padece nuestro personaje después del ritual de transición.
Oímos el fluido inyectado en el relato de la anterior canción hacer su trabajo mientras él duerme profundamente y se va transformando.
Es un continuará. Un puente hacia el siguiente disco que recogerá el testigo justo en dónde éste acaba.
T: En la forma de cantar me recuerda a Ihsahn de Emperor. Debe ser muy difícil tocar la guitarra y coordinar el tipo de voz que le pones en cada estrofa, porque cambia a cada rato dando fluidez al tema. Sobre todo a los que duran 12 minutos con miles de cambios. ¿Ya te lo habían comentado?
Incuberus: Bueno bueno…Ihsahn esun musicazo al que no le llego ni a la suela de los zapatos.
Y mis voces son algo diferentes a las que hace él.
Yo no tengo una voz predeterminada a la hora de ponerme a cantar. Fluye siempre de manera espontánea y natural. Y siempre trato de darle mayor fuerza allá donde la letra y la historia lo requieran en cada momento de cada canción.
Lo de la duración de los temas es algo que jamás nos hemos planteado a la hora de componer.
Cuando nos ponemos Agaliareth y yo, todo queda como al final acordamos los dos, y no es hasta que no tenemos terminada la canción que no le miramos el tiempo.
T: En el tema "Transcend the Gateway" sí que le das a la pluma duro, y nos narras una verdadera y magnifica historia como son en las otras canciones. Háblame sobre esto y dime, ¿En concierto es difícil acordarse de todo esto y tocar la guitarra? Debe ser un diestro...
Incuberus: Sería difícil si no lo practicara de vez en cuando en los ensayos. Por suerte, las letras al ser mías y hacerlas yo, me es bastante más fácil aprendérmelas que si me las hiciera alguien.
Y lo de tocar la guitarra y cantar es algo que también hay que practicarlo.
Yo siempre he sido cantante. Lo mío con la guitarra por así decirlo fue un accidente.
Nos quedamos solos en la banda Agaliareth y yo porque los demás miembros, por unas cosas o por otras habían dejado la banda.
Así que me puse a tocar la guitarra por mi cuenta y vi que me salían cosas interesantes. Entre ellas algunas de las canciones que hay en éste disco.
“Morkath The Wrathman” fue la primera canción que compuse y me siento realmente orgulloso de cómo ha quedado finalmente al igual que las demás.
Al haber cantado siempre, me fue más fácil introducir la voz al mismo tiempo que tocaba la guitarra.
T: Veo que hacen un dúo muy bueno Agaliareth y tú, Incuberus. Me imagino que pasan muchas horas practicando. Ya han tenido miembros antiguos que quizás estén ahora en otras bandas. ¿Sólo por ahora estarán con músicos de sesión?
Incuberus: La verdad es que siempre nos hemos entendido bastante bien él y yo.
Y a la hora de componer y de tocar tenemos ésa complicidad mágica entre los dos.
Hasta ahora no hemos podido ensayar más que un día a la semana por incompatibilidad de horarios laborales. Pero ahora parece que podemos practicar algún día más.
La verdad es que no hemos tenido mucha suerte hasta ahora con los otros miembros.
Cuesta mucho encontrar gente comprometida y seria que quiera compartir un proyecto contigo. Y los que hay todos tienen su banda propia.
De momento contamos con la colaboración de un bajista de sesión, que nos está echando una muy buena mano en los directos.
Quizá en un futuro encontremos a alguien que decida quedarse en la banda no sólo con el bajo, sino igual también un segundo guitarra o… ¿Por qué no un teclista?
T: ¿Has leído los cuentos del pastor que entregó a su hijo por estar con Abrahel?Mucho se dice la “reina de los súcubos” o “demonio que se dedica a seducir a los pobres de espíritu”. Tomando siempre la forma de una mujer bellísima que los cautiva y dispone de ellos a su antojo, llevándolos a cometer verdaderas locuras. ¿Qué más nos puedes agregar tú?
Incuberus: Sílos he leído sí…
El pastor se llamaba Pierrot y esto acaeció en Francia a orillas del río Mosela allá por el siglo XVI.
Te adelanto aquí que éste será uno de los capítulos de la siguiente entrega de la historia.
Aún le estoy dando los últimos retoques a la música para dejarlo listo y ponerlo en común con Agaliareth.
Y acerca de los súcubos, para no extenderme demasiado aquí, podrás encontrar mucha información (que no toda) en la red.
En cuanto al súcubo Abrahel, lo bueno y lo malo es que hay apenas nada escrito. Lo que me permite dejar volar mi imaginación, e introducir muchos productos de mi propia cosecha en mi relato.
T: La presentación es impecable. Un gran diseño. ¿Que nos quiere decir acerca de esto?
Incuberus: Pues todas las ilustraciones han sido dibujadas por la mano de un reputado tatuador y dibujante barcelonés llamado Temmy Tattoo.
Yo mismo le traduje las letras al español y le di mi idea acerca de todo, para que luego él hiciera el resto de manera magistral como se puede apreciar en todo el libreto.
La portada desplegable está inspirada en las letras de “Morkath The Wrathan” y “Transcend the Gateway”, mientras que el dibujo que se haya de fondo a los textos en la parte interior del libreto, está inspirado en la letra de “The Priests of Transition”.
Y justo debajo del disco reproducible, tras la bandeja transparente hay la única ilustración a color de todo el disco.
Dispusimos de la inestimable colaboración de una modelo y actriz italiana llamada “Lady Eter”, y del buen hacer con el photoshop de nuestra amiga Nemoris de “Arte y Sangre” para hacer el resto.
Ya que “Black Lips…” es la única canción de éste disco en donde se habla de nuestra musa, también quisimos darle el protagonismo que realmente se merece.
T: Como dice en la cover esto es sólo el comienzo. Quizás el comienzo sin fin de una banda que pone el 100% en la composición de temas, letras y sonido. Déjame decirte que lo veo bien estructurado, ¿sólo faltaría la parte de marketing que sea tan pareja como el producto de tanto tiempo?
Incuberus: Pues ése es nuestro punto flaco, porque somos una banda bastante underground y estamos en una discográfica pequeña e independiente, que por otro lado fue la única que decidió apostar por nosotros y le estaremos siempre muy agradecidos.
La verdad es que nos gustaría que nuestra música llegara a la mayor cantidad de gente posible. Pero es difícil.
No disponemos ni de los medios ni de la infraestructura necesaria para ello.
Aunque yo tengo bastantes discos en mi colección personal, en los que he tenido que hacer un gran esfuerzo para conseguirlos y ahí están. Los tengo como pequeñas obras de arte guardados como oro en paño.
T:¿Algo que quieras agregar como donde conseguir este Cd, mercancía y demás?
Incuberus: Pues nuestra discográfica ha hecho bastantes trades con varios sellos distribuidos por todo el globo.
Son sellos pequeños que, al igual que Voliac, disponen de un listado de venta por catálogo.
Todo aquél que pudiera estar interesado en adquirir una copia de Abrahel, sólo tiene que ponerse en contacto con nosotros al correo de la banda:abrahel@hotmail.es
Ya le diríamos el sitio más cercano a su pueblo o ciudad para ordenarlo, o si no siempre se lo podríamos enviar nosotros mismos.
Estamos haciendo una promoción de lanzamiento por 15€ que incluye:
Disco + T-shirt (regular o femenina/girlie en todas las tallas del mercado) + Chapa con el logotipo de la banda. (Gastos de envío no incluidos)
¡MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS POR VUESTRO APOYO, HERMANOS! LONG LIFE THE LEGION!!!
T: Nada Hermano Incuberus, primero agradecerte por la músoca creada y por la gran calidad de ser humano que eres.
Serpent Est: Actually, we ever thought it was a new word. Kaiserreich is the results of Kaiser+Reich which means respectively Emperor and Reign. It sounds really harsh and strong and the meaning is also powerful. Some member had doubts on it ‘cause it sounds so NSBM (and we’re not an NSBM band) but in the end I think everyone’s is loving the name. At last, I discovered that the “kaiserreich” is the definition of the period when Germany was headed by kings.
T: How many copies do of your Cd. KRRH and why this name?
Serpent Est: We made 1,000 copies by our own and our Chinese label has printed 500 copies of the asian edition. This one contains a new song played live, and live versions of Ravencrowned and an impressive Requiem Division.
T: Where did you record Cd. KRRH? and where do the next?
Serpent Est: KRRH has been recorded in a very small studio. We played all at once, recording in direct feed. Then we re-recorded the vocals on a second time. That album took probably less then 4 hours to be finished!
Now, we’re recording the new album in another small studio headed by our drummer’s drum teacher (who’s also the drummer of a well-known power metal band named Vision Divine). This time we’ve recorder every instrument aside and it’s not finished yet. It’s taking lot of time ‘cause we’re trying to do something different (better) then the first one.
T: Requiem Division 7,62 What is that song about?
Serpent Est: Dispite what I said in the beginning (that we’re not a NSBM band) this song is dedicated to the Wehrmacht (the german infantry). 7,62 was the caliber of the famous gun named Mauser. Anyway, it’s not a nazi thing. The song it’s just a celebration of this powerful army that once stroke the earth.
T: Who was doing the song lyrics?
Serpent Est: The lyrics are composed by Serpent, except Kriegsangshelvete which is a creation of our drummer, Krieg.
T: Who wrote the songs on KRRH?
Serpent Est: The leading guitar was composed by the former guitarist Elfire. Abraxas has created the mighty Ravencrowned and he also participated to the other songs with his own ideas. Anyway, the songs should be credited to all of us ‘cause everyone gave something to the album.
T: You have to edition. The first press of the album was produced and released by the band (with the FMP logo anyway as the label already planned on releasing the album too) this version has the title of the album in white and has no bonus tracks.The second edition with the title in red is actually released by funeral moonlight productions with the three bonus tracks. You are Happy with Funeral Moonlight Productions?
Serpent Est: We have a strange deal with them so we never expected too much push from them ‘cause they are an underground label, but that’s ok! The guy who leads the Funeral Moonlight is very kind but he has lot of bands to manage and his life to live so he can’t grant us a ‘full coverage’. By the way, he did a great job to spread the album, in fact you can find it easily on the web.
T: How is a concert of Kaiserreich ( bullets, blood…)
Serpent Est: Do be honest, we still have to learn on how to manage a stage! Yes, there are bullets, blood, fog and spikes, very Gorgoroth-alike. But we’re planning a change of our imagery for the next album. It will be more personal. We would like to offer a nice show, with effect and some guests on stage. But it’s not so easy. We need space, time and money (for the costumes). We’ll do it for sure during the presentation of our second album but it won’t so easy to bring this show on tour.
T: Necrobosco and Krieg play in other band Suicide, tell me more?
Serpent Est: They played for very few time in that band. They both don’t like to speak about that period.
T: Your Five favorites bands?
Serpent Est: Critical question. Let’s see. Yeah, Five members of Kaiserreich, five very different bands: Immortal, Taake, Marco Masini, Obtained Enslavement, Manowar.
T: Where can people buy your great Kaiserreich Cd?
Serpent Est: You can buy it just asking it: through our myspace page http://www.myspace.com/kaiserreichofficialpage or the website http://www.kaiserreich.it But there are many online shops that sell our CD, you should just type the name on some search engine (or eBay). Anyway, we’re the only one who sells Kaiserreich T-Shirts and Long Sleeve!
T: Any Last Words for Our readers of “The legion Of TchorT”?
Serpent Est: We can’t wait to hear the reactions in regards of our new album. It’s almost finished but it will take time to be ready for the audience. During the wait, we probably print a split with a French depressive black metal band named Nocturnal Depression. It will be a 7” and it will present a very unusual song. That song it’s been completely composed by our new bassist, T. Morgan, and offer a different outlook on our band. But do not fear, the new album will sound more aggressive than the previous one. Hail!
T: Thanks to you Brother for your eternal help! to spread your work and my work.
T: Hail Tony! Tell Me about since your are in the music and you have tons of bands like Wintercold?
Satanic Tony: I have been active in music since 1981, when I used to play in my first punk band then. Yes I am old, haha. I have been active in several bands during all years and some of them is also still alive more than less. The first time I really started with metal was around late 1985 and 1986, then with my first black metal band Equinox. And today I am also active in some bands and projects, then I have lots of contacts today, thanks to my label activity in salute records. And wintercold was one of the earlier productions I made on the label last year.
T: I listen bands like Wintercold, Demorian, Pazuzu, and others, tell me what was your first band? And how many band have?
Satanic Tony: Wintercold is a result of many kinds of ideas I have got during many years of thinking and planning. And beside of that, I have been active and played in bands like Obey, Killteam, Corpestor, Tragic Serenade, Tales, Exotic Flower, No Agony, Demented, Cryptic Death, Distraught, Pazuzu and many more. The first band for me was Teenage Suicide in 1981! But back then it was more traditional old punk. Today I am active in my three bands/projects Demorian, Wintercold and Camazotz + some other bands also that is more secret yet, but maybe comes out!?
T: You are from Sweden the Country of the tons of Death Metal Bands, you remember it the members of the bands played in 4 bands wow.
Satanic Tony: Yes here we have got many great bands and acts during all years, all back in the 80´s. One of the first raw and extremer metal bands here was in fact a band called Third Storm that was active around 85/86. They sounded as a mix between Hellhammer and Necrophagia and were from a town called Uppsala. Then all great bands like Grave, Midas Touch, Rivers Edge, Nihilist (Entombed), Afflicted Convulsion, Necromanser, Persecution, Harvey Wallbanger, Wombbath, In Thy Dreams, Metal Militia, Obscurity and tons of more.
T: The Most and the best band in your country you think that was Dissection?Or Morbid when singer Dead. (Old School for Old readers)
Satanic Tony: Dissection is and will always be one of the best former/earlier bands in Sweden when it comes to brutal and raw death/black metal I think! But bands I also thinks that we not have to forget is Bathory that have meant so much for bands today and bands that comes! One other band that I think is brilliant, but was from Norway is of course Burzum. Bands like those makes a sign always in the metal world!
T: Wintercold out by your label Salute Records in Lighstscribe, how many copies of “Beyond Darkness And Evil” you do for promotion? You not signed for any label. Not have offert?
Satanic Tony: Wintercold debut album/demo was made in only 30 copies on lightscribe and will probably never be remaked!? It includes 10 tracks of pure dark and gothic evil I think! As I have so many influences I always brings some parts of all in my music. And there for the type of dark metal Wintercold is. And Wintercold have no signing to any other label beside on my own. But if anyone gets interested so maybe? The debut album I made last year have in fact reached a sort of cult name around the globe today and that is real cool. Wintercold is a band/project that will always be around that long as I am alive!
T: I like your Style very doom tempo metal, you have any favorites bands that influences the style of Wintercold?
Satanic Tony: First I can tell you that much of the inspirations is from doom metal. But then I mix it with some pagan, goth and black metal. All to make it sound as Wintercold! In the earlier 90´s I used to play in a doom/death band called Tragic Serenade and much of the roots is still from there also today. My most important influences I got is nature, darkness, depression, life, war. Then bands that influences me is Bathory, Count Raven, Saint Vitus, Warning, Kyuss, Nokturnal Mortum, Burzum, Obsessed, Hellhammer, Black Sabbath, Cathedral and a lots more.
T: You have a Label “Salute Records” Total Underground Support, tell me more about it, your realeses and how the headbangers Buy it?
Satanic Tony: Yes it´s true. Salute records was started up in December 2007 as a way to do what interests me most beside of my family. And that is music/metal. The first releases was in early 2008 a compilation album that was made in 120 copies “Black Pagan Death Salute Vol.1” and an ep/mcd with the south African black metal act Frozenpath. Later also a debut album was made with the croatian dark metal band Grom (Grom02). Also a re-issue was made with the pagan/black metal band Blood Of Kingu from Colombia then. And of course later on the debut with Wintercold. After that much have been happened. The label I started up was more meant as a hobbie, but has grown true larger since a year back and still does. And today we have made around 50 releases, both on tape and cd format. And all bands that is more than less listed/signed on the label cannot be mention here as it is to many, haha. I am mostly interested in black and death metal bands, but also other styles interests me too. As long it is not christian messages in the music as I am totally against those fuckers. All can buy from the label, both paypal users and money well hidden to my address works as a payment. Some releases that is planned now for the nearest future is albums with Khashm (Ru), Nocra (Ru), Kay Pacha (Peru), Non Serviam (Peru) and a bunch more.
T: Who was doing the song writing and of what tell?
Satanic Tony: All lyrics in Wintercold is written by me and is about topics as war, life, evil, religion, depressions, nature, ancestors and all that makes me wanna write someting that influence me!
T: Where did you records your “Beyond Darkness And Evil”
Satanic Tony: All music is recorded in my home, mostly during late nights as it inspire me most always. And a secret to tell is that I using an old guitar “Session” and the michrophone is from the late 60´s, hehe..A way to get an own sound maybe? The title of the album tells for it self I think. There is no god, there is no goodness. Pure dark, pure evil, pure hate. All is in our world!
T: Tony, now in the 2009 how is the scene in your country, are more active like 1990?
Satanic Tony: Both yes and no I think? Back in the 90´s the scene was real good. And bands was born like mushrooms and never ended we thought? But sadly during some years the scene changed and many bands disappeared and just ended. But now today I think the scene has grown again, just one sad thing is that many, many bands just plays like others do and sounded! And it is too few bands that make an own way and do their own style of metal these days. Many is into the profit ways and wants to play black metal or death for money and become famous of it! And such bands is only sad to hear about. And sad is also that many labels runs in the same way too, but we can all hope that they disappear soon and never rises again!? Hails to all true metal bands whatever it is! Dark is true..
T: What are some of the big shows that you guys have played together?
Satanic Tony: Hehe, no shows. It will never be as Wintercold is just one person, it could never happen! But anyway I guess it would be great!
T: Any Last Words of Our reader’s Tony?
Satanic Tony: First I want to say a big thanks to one of my best supporters, TchorT! And for this interview. And a big hello and hail goes to the whole worlds metal maniacs and for all that supports the underground and Wintercold! Regards to you all...Satanic Tony/Wintercold 2009
T: Como cuantas copias han distribuido de su cd ” Through the unholy rules we shall rise”?
Lord Nebirus: Inicialmente hice de manera independiente 50 copias, destinadas mayormente para promoción e intercambio entre bandas pero ya estamos planteando la distribución en europa y la americana y esperando que se extienda lo mas que se pueda ya estamos en eso pero la verdad no te podria dar cifras concretas.
T: Al final de tanto cambio de integrantes, la grabación la hizo con el sgte line-up: Lord Nebirus (Vox and Guitars); Astaroth (Bass) y Ghemosh (Drums) Este cd. ha sido re-editado en otros lugares o solo será en Colombia con Hydramag, Suecia Salute Recs y España con Nexus respectivamente?
Lord Nebirus: De momento la reedicion nos la han ofrecido en suecia, españa y colombia, muy agradecidos de estos guerreros, su gran apoyo y alianza pero siempre estaré intentando seguir expandiendo el metal oscuro lo mas que se pueda, por todo el planeta si asi fuera necesario.
T: Que piensan de la reedicion enSalute Records Suecia, les parece que es una ventana para darse a mostrar por esos lugares donde se admira mucho a las bandas con sonido sud americano?
Lord Nebirus: Indudablemente es todo un honor que el disco "Through the unholy rules we shall rise", se reedite por Salute Records, se nota que son gente muy seria, apoyando a muchos guerreros de todo el planeta a realzar sus ideas oscuras, incluyendo el elaborado en nuestra querida sudamerica, donde existen tantos hermanos de guerra, con sus bandas y sus proyectos, evidenciando que el blackmetal no es de una zona determinada del mundo, por mas nordica y fria que sea, el black blackmetal yace dentro de cada persona que relmente lo oiga y lo viva indiferentemente de donde le haya tocado nacer, es para mi un honor llevar sangre latinoamericana por que alli si que sobran meritos para las bandas que logran salir adelante...
T: Es muy buen trabajo que hace el Taife en el arte de su caratula ya habian trabajo con el?
Lord Nebirus: El Taife es un guerrero incesante dentro de la difucion del metal y al cual le admiro mucho por sus grandiosas participaciones en Mysticism, Amortis, Chaquen, Hydra webzine, Metal System y sus otros proyectos y sobre todo por el gran apoyo obtenido de parte de este hermano de guerra, ha sido un honor poder contar con la ayuda de este gran artista.
T: Porque escogieron el tema “ League with Satan ” de VENOM quizas se identifican con la banda? en que sentido?
Lord Nebirus: Es un tema que me gusta mucho a pesar de que si se fijan en la parte lirica y la musical, encontraran pocas similitudes a comparación del Leviathan, pero eso justamente era lo que estabamos buscando en ese momento incluir un cover , un tema diferente pero que a la vez se relacionaba con la banda, y aparte era todo un deleite poder tocar esta version en vivo.
T: Se que tambien Distribuyes y Produces Oficialmente el Compilatorio “The Legion Of TchorT” en España esto es a nivel correo, conciertos, ó una pagina en especial, donde se pueda pedir y si en si la Productora se llama “Lord Nebirus”?
Lord Nebirus: Si, la Productora - Distribuidora se llama Lord Nebirus y claramente me siento muy honrrado de hacer la producción y distribución de estos compilados "The Legion Of TchorT" , que es a mi juicio una de las obras de mayor muestra de apoyo que antes se haya llevado a cabo, mostrandonos todo el inmenso mundo extremo que envuelve el planeta tierra....es un placer sentarse a oir cada banda e imaginarse desde que rincon del mundo te estan expresando el metal mas Underground y extremo que puedas imaginar, excelente trabajo.
En España lo puedes solicitar a traves de www.nebirusleviathan@hotmail.com
T: Como va el trabajo con tu banda “Sylisium”?
Lord Nebirus: Con Sylisium es otra oportunidad que tengo nuevamente de poder expresarme junto a mis compañeros de agrupación, en los cuales imperan las similitudes en cuanto a música y al modo de ver las cosas. Tendremos la grabación del demo muy proximamente el cual espero que oigan y opinen http://www.myspace.com/sylisium
T: Para tocar en su pueblo debe ser difícil o quizas imposible, los conciertos deben ser fuera, tienen que moverse cada vez que se inicia la temporada de verano por la Rioja, como es con los otros miembros? tambien estan radicando en españa?
Lord Nebirus: Vivo en haro, un pueblo pequeño, antiguo, tranquilo y con muy buenos paisajes pertenecientes a la Rioja. Afortunadamente tenemos otros pueblos y ciudades cercanas pertenecientes a la rioja y al pais Vasco donde se organizan buenos eventos.
De leviathan solo estoy yo aqui, componiendo y con muchas ganas de grabar dentro de poco nuevos temas gracias a la ayuda de algunos colegas de aqui, para futuras grabaciones y presentaciones en vivo.
T: “Son of the darkness path” es una canción casi símbolo de la banda, cuando piensan que volveran a su pais venexuela a tocar este y otros temas en una gira?
Lord Nebirus: La verdad es que espero con gran anhelo el dia que pueda volver a compartir escenarios con todos mis hermanos sudamericanos que tanto recuerdo y admiro, compartir todo ese sonido devastador que se hace en nuestro querido continente. En mis planes esta poder hacer una gira sudamericana junto a bandas hermanas, incluyendo por supuesto a mis paises de origen (colombia y venezuela) y tambien me gustaria incluir a ecuador, peru y bolivia, esto es algo que aun se vera a largo plazo de materializarse, pero le estoy poniendo todas las energias para que todo se de cuando pueda darme una vuelta por alla.
T: Algo que quieras agregar Lord Nebirus a “The LegionOf TchorT”?
Lord Nebirus: Me encuentro muy agradecido por haberme concedido esta entrevista y por todo el apoyo recibido de su parte, y a cada lector y persona interesada en este gran proyecto que no se llama solo Leviathan ó Sylisium , si no que identifica a cada banda luchadora y con ganas de seguir expresando a travez del metal su ideologia y apoyo a la escena, larga vida al metal underground...!!
Sleepwalker: The name A Transylvanian Funeral manifested itself. I wanted a name that held a sense of mystery and formality... a ritual of sorts. It, to me, embodies transition from life to death and the mystery of it. I would rather the listeners form their own views on what my work means but that is what it means to me.
T: The band are only one man sleepwalker and have support of Sojurner but you do all?
Sleepwalker: I do all the work, yes. Sojourner was present in the beginning and wrote words to four of the thirteen songs on the album but that was really his biggest contribution. Sojourner also sang backing vocals on all the tracks. I am, however, no longer working with him.
I wrote the lyrics to the remaining 9 songs on the album as well as all the music. I performed guitars, bass, vocals and drum programming as well as engineering, mixing and production. I even designed the packaging and artwork. I am slowly beginning to work on some new material and, other than possibly a session drummer, I have no plans of working with any other musicians.
T: Which is the answer of the public of the DVD Debut "A Transylvanian Funeral" that have 13 songs, I think that is very complete stuff and great merchandise.
Sleepwalker: Thanks... I think it has been very well received... I haven't heard anyone's negative comments about what I am doing yet... I am sure they are out there but it is of little concern to me. I think the music is strong enough to stand on its own without the merchandise but I really wanted to make the debut release something special with the button, sticker and postcard. I may do it again with future releases but I don't know yet...
T: When you play in concert, have help of other session music? Or A Transylvanian Funeral is a band Studio?
Sleepwalker: If I found the proper people to work with live, I would consider it but at the present time, live performance is the least of my concerns. I enjoy song writing and creating art and I find that a lot of live music concerts are bullshit. Half the people that I see at these shows will bang their head to anything and use it as an excuse to get drunk. I did that shit for years and I am doing something different now.
T: The song “hammer of the witch” remember me my 5 compilation great song very hard, few lyrics but hard. (listen sample in myspace)
Sleepwalker: The song Hammer of the Witch is pretty old; the oldest being Beyond the Veils of Light...I think I first record Beyond the Veils of Light in 2002...It had a totally different ending with a female vocalist and a nylon string classical guitar...I may release it one day...
Hammer of the Witch is another old song that really encompasses the themes I try to work with... I wrote it with the mythology of the Triple Goddess in mind as well as the idea of a witch locked in black magical warfare with another witch... it is a pretty violent song.
T: All your songs have few lyrics ever but the sound is very hard. Is your style?
Sleepwalker: I try to say a lot with as few words as possible. I enjoy songs with a lot of lyrics but only if every word fits and is necessary...I don't write short stories anymore; I write songs and they are my stories...If I wrote too many lyrics I would deprive the listener from the use of their own imagination and interpretation of the songs.
I like to write songs that are both aggressive and atmospheric. On this debut release, I think I was more aggressive and I hope to embody more atmosphere on my next release...
T: Which bands you like of your state scene?
Sleepwalker: I don't go to many shows locally... I just don't get into much of the 'scene'... the ones that stick out in my mind now are Rejicide, Fog and Christ Beheaded...
T: You have offers of labels for re-edit your cool work in Cd. if is possible?
Sleepwalker: I would consider re-releasing this album with the right label but my plans right now is to do everything myself...It is a lot of work but it pays off. I don't have to worry about rip-offs like Lord Panzer or Infest Productions and I can decide how the money gets spent on promotion and packaging... This is my life and I like to have a lot of control.
I don't want to dissuade others from working with me but it comes down to someone else taking my music as seriously as I do.
T: Any Word for our friends and very Thanks for the Salutes in the DVD Debut for “The Legion Of TchorT”.
Sleepwalker: Your are more than welcome for the salutation! “The Legion of TchorT” is a very respectable company and I support what you are doing...
I want to thanks everyone who has supported what I do and got the album! I want to thanks Grave at Brutal Existence Radio, Baphometus Revelatum Radio, Raven's Eggs and Kegs and DJ Metallord...Marty the Devilman, Beyond the Dark Horizon, Herlaka Rose, Granath from Cry of Silence and Christophe Szpanzel for the killer logos...and everyone else I'm forgetting...but most of all thanks to the fans, the bands and the 'zines who keep the underground flame burning...Thanks for the killer interview, TchorT!
T: Sleepwalker thanks for all, is cool work with you for metal underground music.
T: How many copies of cd. “Gener (H)ate” you have sold at the moment?
Marko: Hi Tchort, the release for “Gener (H)ate” was in the years 2006, I do not know to tell exactly how many copies we sold, but we have much concert around the italy and we sold much merchandising our distro label of the others country sold almost all the copies available.
T: The Style and the sound is very hard, have many hate?
Marko: Thanx for your words man,yeah,we live in the south of italy,is a violence land.
T: You Like Sepultura, I listen influence of this in your band. Not the Old (2cds), Not the New (is Shit)
Marko:Exactly, we like Sepultura (beneath the remains-schizophrenia era), we have influence of this band, or of bands like Incubus, Protector, Sodom and all old school thrash metal bands.
T: You have in sale your Land of Hate - Total Massacre Live Video VHs but in DVD format?
Marko: Yeah, Total Massacre is a live split video with our friends Zora, the format is Dvd format.
T: You are happy of the work of Evil Spirit Distro with your tape: Land of Hate – Gener (H)ate?
Marko: Sure, he is a serious guy, he is a maniac of old school ahaha and he's not rip off, respect to evil distro!
T: Land of Hate - 4 Way to Scream Your Hate It is very good to do works like that to promote several.
Marko: It is a split cd by 4 friends bands,Zora-Deathcrush-Smashhead and Land of hate scream the shot message but with different style of music.
T: When I listen your cd “Gener (H)ate” I like the music, have very hate in your voice and letter is Italy the center of this?
Marko:Thanx man, yeah the Italy is not and easy nation, there are many shit around the street, specially in the south, the ignorance reigns.
T: What comming for the band? new Cd? More split? Or dvd from concert?
Marko: Now we are in studio for the new full lenght, the title is Neutralized Existence, you can listen it very soon man.
T: Last words?
Marko: Thanx for your support man, support the underground metal.Disorder Aggression, Total devastation!!
T: You have many works, 2 demos, 3 Ep’s, 2 Cd’s and 1 Split, all have different songs? Also Now Out Cd “Shadows Of Possession” 2009.
Damien: Evil hails legions and darkest greetings TchorT, Demonic Halocaust formed in august 2007 founded by me (damien necromencer) eric and criss
we began recording a lot of material together we shared the same influences of blackmetal and death metal so for us to write it came rather easy well our first ep we recorded together was unholy war 6 songs garage recording and with nothing really but a mixing of different styles of black metal its intention was dark but not a very good sounding second demo ice legions was 3 songs and 1 cover our 3rd demo which became our official first ep entitled trappezorium contained six songs and while completing that one we went back in to complete that ep recorded 6 more songs which became our second ep shadows of possession which is our debut ep from shadows we began work on our 3rd and 4th ep which the 3rd ep entities of the shadow kind became our first split
T: Split with Vartras, you think? that your are in the equal line of music of Vartras? Comming soon also a new split with İlkim Oulanem?
Damien: Entities of the shadow kind the split with vartras (germany) I would dh half of split was very aggressive and had a different style to it .I feel it had more of deathmetal sound to it then more of blackmetal but working with vartras was great his half of split was more industrial blackmetal but brutal sounding as well so all and all was an ideal split for us. And soon we will be splitting with Ilkim Oulanem out of turkey Ilkim is one female solo band and she has a great voice and style we decided to use our latest material for the project with her the first half of re animating the damned the split will have nine songs and is entitled legions of the black ice fires its release will be in a few months.
T: Your sound remember me and people that listen your music a Blasphemy what think?
Damien: Demonic Halocaust sound is raw aggressive blackwar metal it has no real identity to it and those that like us thats fine but we are not concerned about what people think of us we are just doing we have sadistic meanings and a very barbaric approach we want to take black metal to a new level with no limits of peoples expectations or what is considered traditional black metal.
T: You have a Split Cd. with Firstborn Chaos Recs are you happy with the work of this label of Russia? (Andy of Moloch)
Damien: Yes we are on Firstborn Chaos Recs it really cool to work with russia soon to have more of our releases out there as well
T: Who is one concert of dh? You imagination that do a band with Vartras + İlkim Oulanem? Shit!
Damien: As far as touring it would be great to do shows with Vartras and Ilkim Oulanem and just as nice to work on album together dh would like to do shows with kassiereich and archrontas well but shows are in the future.
T: How is the black metal scene in Waterbury, Connecticut? Any names of bands?
Damien: Waterbury , ct. really doesn't have a scene their are lot of great underground bands in the usa just not where we are its unfortunate but sad reality to see society rather listen to rap and ska and stupid corporate mtv music then listen to black metal and death metal I think people have become afraid of it which its better they dont for they would not understand the ways of it .
T: What comming to dh? New Cd?
Damien: Demonic Halocaust right now is finishing up our ep re animating the damned and most likely will begin recording more new material soon and then will be going playing live dates are unknown at this point but we will keep you posted thanks for having us.
Damien necromencer vocalist /guitarist of Demonic Halocaust.
T: Thanks to you my brother and buy the Cd. “Shadows Of Possession”
T: In the "Funeral in the Night" other was the singer and the vocalist of Ouija in this momenty you know in this moment the band Spellcraft? Before Ouija (rip) and you recorder "Souldevourer"?
Midgard: When I song with OUIJA, SPELLCRAFT was like a brothers for us and they were one of the most important emergent bands in Spain. When OUIJA die they need a singer and we recorded "Souldevourer" our first LP. Now with the "Stirpe Obscura" we consolidate the project with SPELLCRAFT and we are proud of our L.P.
T: The "Promo 2007" was mixes and mastering? in Sweden Tailor Maid. The sound of the band is like a big band from Notherlands. You think this?
Midgard: Yes, The people comment on it and it’s important for us due to it’s a good sign. We like the work in the Room Studies in Barcelona and mastering with Tailor maid who mastering bands like Dimmu Borgir, Marduk, Dark Funeral...they did a good work with "Stirpe Obscura".
T: The 4 song of the "Promo 2007" and 3 more are the new Cd "Stirpe Obscura" all remastered in Spain again? I read your letters and see many darkness, demons, are very inspirations in Satanic letters, you do this?
Midgard: Yes, we understand our music and our letters as a way of expressing our objection with the existing world. Everything comes prejudged by false beliefs in non-existent beings and things.
T: I listen Ouija "Riding Into The Funeral Paths" here the voices and the style are more fast, I think and part when your voice talk. Very different, Know the sound and all are more direct.
Midgard: Yes that’s right, the style are faster, more direct...different. The most important thing for us is that we want to do our own style; with darkness, speed, hate, war...
T: You have many concerts, have in your plans to do a concerts out of Spain or only dedication in promotion and do more merchandise more the cd " Stirpe Obscura" and after work in new cd.
Midgard: We’ve played recientely in Barcelona, Logroño, Lerida, Sevilla and now we are preparing our next concert in Madrid. In the future we have to play in Portugal and france too and we..d like to play in south america. We are beginning to have a lot of fans there and we..d like to play there!
T: Grotesque Productions do a contract with the band for anymore cds? Or you are free band and have other offers?
Midgard: We have a contract for two Cd’s with Grotesque.
T: You think that is possible that comming a Live cd or dvd of Spellcraft , I think that is very insanity concerts, music, blood, screams, and all that want.
Midgard: In the life all that you purpose Its possible. I’m sure that early we can see a Dvd of SPELLCRAFT. we enjoy a lot with our music and with our special perfomances in our concerts.
T: Thanks for your supportMidgard and SPELLCRAFT!!
T: Cuantas copias se han realizado de “Deus Impotents”
Vladark: 200 copias.
T: La portada vemos una nena monjita , algun significado contra la iglesia?
Vladark: Por supuesto, contra la iglesia y contra toda religión que intente apagar los instintos naturales del hombre, como puede ser el sexo, al que tildan de pecado; por eso hemos titulado la demo DEUS IMPOTENS, dios impotente. tambien representa la monja que esta presente en las misas negras de LAVEY.
T: Los pude ver en un programa de tv dnd hablaban del maquillaje, del black metal y demas a que se debio esa participación y esa explicación?
Vladark: Bueno, eso era una entrevista de una television local, donde una vez a la semana hacen una entrevista a un grupo y le graban en video una canción en el local de ensayo. La gente que ve este programa no sabe lo que es el black metal, ni entiende de nuestro maquillaje, de ahí esa pequeña explicación que damos, pero sin profundizar nada en el significado de todo esto.
T: Es muy difícil tocar en su ciudad Almeria? siempre los conciertos son fuera de ella? Con que banda usualmente tocan?
Vladark: si que es bastante dificil tocar por aki, ya que estamos muy escasos de salas, y aki no hay escena black metal, estamos solos, tocamos donde podemos, a veces por aki, y otras veces fuera. y tocamos con las bandas que haya en cartel, o a traves de intercambios de conciertos de una ciudad a otra.
T: Se que su vox es belga y las letras frances puro, creen que le da un toque mucho mas fino a la banda y especial? Pero a la vex es una arma de doble filo. Ya que de eso depende su estilo?
Vladark: Bueno, el vocalista nos pregunto si nos importaba que cantase en frances ya que asi se expresaba mejor, y a nosotros no nos importo, pienso que suena bastante bien, que es lo importante. aunke si la banda crece y fuese necesario cantar en ingles no creo que hubiese ningun problema.
T: Este Cd que han lanzado incluye un video promocional?
Vladark: Teniamos pensado grabar un cd de 10 temas este verano, pero nos akabamos de kedar sin bateria y akabamos de empezar la buskeda de uno nuevo, asi que de momento... tenemos un futuro incierto.
T: Que podemos esperar de Infernal Funeral a corto plazo? Un cd completo quizas, algunos split o quizas un dvd de algun concierto?
Vladark: Espero que dentro de poco encontremos nuevo bateria y podamos grabar los temas, que sonaran bastante mas salvajes que esta demo, ya que los ultimos temas compuestos suenan mas extremos, y podais disfrutarlo. Hail black metal! ave satan!
T: In your Split Cd, Death Toll Productions, why not sound like how your Dvd Burning Souls - Mythological Evil? (About The Sound)
Growler: Ahh?Well the tracks are the same! Most of them are from our second demo "mythological evil" . I don't know really! You didn't mistake us with Satanicon (Usa) in split release,right? Haha!
T: Dvd Burning Souls-Mythological Evil are your two demos but with differents line up, the out of Decomposer change in anything your new cd recorder?
Growler: Well decomposer didn't participate in any of our two demos. With him we recorded a new promo under the name of "Hadou Katavasi" and the master has done by Dan Swano! Decomposer left from us now and we have replace him with George Julius (Mors In Tabula and ex-Regent). With him we will record our debut album "Descensus Ad Inferos".
T: Your new cd.“Descensus ad Inferos” have all song of your demos and new songs, bonus or new songs? any name?
Growler: New songs! We have two from our second demo, one of them is GROTESQUE BLASPHEMY of course!!! Names...yes of course: Hadou Katavasi, Kires,Those Who Deicide About Fate.
T: The Song “Grotesque Blasphemy” are the flag of the music of the band? I like it so much?
Growler: Well...YEAAAAHHHHH!!!!Until now yes it is. I don't know why people like it so much. We always play it in our shows and always the whole place becomes hell!!!
I am glad that you like it!!!!THANX!
T: If Possible that after your cd debut “Descensus ad Inferos” comming a Dvd Live of Erevos, but I see and listen a cool performanse and you are a correct frontman?
Growler:I hope so! We have some videos but nothing professional until now. I am trying to do my best as a vocalist and as a bassist, and of course all of us we are trying to do our best. !Thank you!
T: Tisiphone in the keybords are in the new cd, yes? If possible that she put the atmosfera of darkness with your keyboards?
Growler:Tisiphone and I are the creators of Erevos. She is the same person at the first demo, but with different name. She is responsible for our majestic atmosphere. And of course she wrights songs too.
Thank you my friend!!!
T: Your band have many influencies but you think which is the sound of Vintage Flesh?
Reverend John Hex: I dont know where our main influence comes from.
for us it is more of a mission to scare the shit out of people through our music. also to create despair, so we our not sure what bands we sound like, we are certainly not trying to sound like anyone, it’s for the listener to decide.
T: The Logo and the Art are more gore, terror, morbid but the sound of the music is more raw black ? Your singer is rare, what think? suffering?
Reverend John Hex: Well I am the singer an artist for the band, so who better to explain? I would like the images to match the musical out put but some may not think so, we are still discovering our sound and style, the singing style is meant to portray the anguish and pain I feel and the horror I want to express.
I have a background as a performance artist in theator so at times my style of singing may sound overly played up, it isnt. I just feel very strongly about things, but it is genuin feelings surfacing from the pit of my being.
T: How many copies you send of your promo Cd-r "Portals Of Confusion"? before out the Cd "Succulent Morsels" around the world?
Reverend John Hex: We sent music to a couple compilations, but we didnt send the same song out to every one, we sent "portals of confusion" to you only, it’s our most accesible tune, it’s also the shortest, it seemed to suit the type of bands you bring together.
It was the best recording we had of any of our songs. We are not promoting much of the "S.M." demo. we will how ever heavily promote the new release "For the spirit that walks in Shadow" which is due to be available in the next couple weeks, same songs, just a newer and more ideal recording and some extra instrumentals, big improvement without losing what makes it Necro.
T: When Play in live Raypissed not have any problem with play drums and sing, is very hard to do two this, and this put special sound in the recorder of your music?
Reverend John Hex: I no longer play drums and sing in the band. I wasnt very good at it, we leave that to Absu. we hired a full time drummer by the name of Drae. He is the drummer on "S.M." and the next release to come, he has what we are looking for, old school heavy doomy pummeling meets todays speed metal.
T: The art work of the cover of "Succulent Morsels" what is for you, very sickness.
Reverend John Hex: Thanks. The art work is meant to potray a demon in a cemetary that is plucking dead babbies out of the grave to eat. The demon is the metal listener who is hungery for the flesh of wretched music. ours! so the dead babbies represent our music. we are as a band like the babbies are, new to the world. But they are dead and putrid like our sound. They are little morsels of what is to come, the big meal will be our later material!
T: Tell me more about “maggotsdelight” I see great works for tatto my arm? Is Your Other Work? or Support Bands for do Art Covers.
Reverend John Hex: Maggots delight is my personal online art portfolio and BIO. The site has been up online for about eight years. It has nothing to do with the band projects but I will add a link to VinatgeFlesh eventually, possibly when the band has its own website. I like websites as an artist because I can dress them up any way I like. you can get very creative with them. There not for every band.
T: The band ever are Hex & Raypissed and have support in live shows, but in the future you think that comming new members?
Reverend John Hex: Currently the band is made up of Raypissed on vocals and lyrics. Rev.John Hex on lead and rythms. Drae G.Y. on skins. We are now looking for someone to fill rythm guitar or bass so we can pursue live shows.
Our live shows will be an occult horror spectacle that will leave all viewers feeling unsafe and slightly sickened or worse. That is our direct influence from Alice Cooper. The metal lord of Gore! corpse paint and spikes will always be apart of our appearance also. no rules , no religions, just chaotic horror!
Thanks for the interest TchorT. Check ya later!
Reverend John Hex
T: Thank to you for all!! And I wait for one day you tattoo my arm, yeah!! Total sickness.
Barag: I dont know and I dont give a shit. We’ve never interacted with other bands cause we dont like to interact so much with people. We’re basically nomads and we live in different countries, from Mongolia to central/south Europe. And Gol is a fucking twisted outsider anywhere anyplace. We belong to a concept, not to a country.
T: You changed many times of labels and ultimately with which they were extracting your Cd?
Barag: We’re still in conversations since we’ve been approached by different Labels. The debut album will be released in summer of 2009. Anyway, any people interested in buying the album -as well as t-shirts and stuff like that- could do it through our internet page. Anyway, we fucking hate the business side of it. As far as we know the album will be distributed by different labels due to tradings, etc.
T: You have a friend in Spain that promotion your work with the cd promo” Pile Of Corpses”? You continued with this?
Barag: Yes, he’s part of the cult/sect. We trust on him and he trust on us. The cult is above everything and everyone. You have to think in a martial, military way as a whole in order to win the war.
T: You appear in compilations or magazines for your country?
Barag: We dont give a fuck about that. If anyone is interested they can contact us. I have appeared in other type of magazines due to parallel activities.
T: All your letters are brings over of the human sacrifice, Also pain , corpse, blood, etc. I read much about this in your space. You know the sacrifices of our Culture Moche. You know about Incas?
Barag: Our philosophy is about total extreme misanthropy. Our views are too extreme to be explained here in detail. Human race is a disgusting pathetic force on its way to total decadence, self-extermination and misery. We think humans are filth, pure scum that has to be pruned and exterminated. We dont believe in terms like "progress", "evolution", etc. Regarding sacrificing rituals from ancient cultures we find them culturally fascinating. Was it the lack of proteins in the diet or just a tribute to sadistic Gods? Fascinating.
T: You know many bands from China and Russia?
Barag: We’re not into bands. That’s for journalists. We’d rather prefer to meet some chinese/russian horny whores. Anyway, we’re not against bands and we truly respect underground black/death metal.
T: Your City is very Cold, have more time do other thing like play with the band, promotion your band in your space.
Barag: Sure. We’re involved in military and sientific activities.
T: GengisKan was the best Emperor of Mongolia?
Barag: Sure he was. Historically, mongols and chinese they have hated each other for centuries. That`’s much more interesting and fascinating: it’s all about hate, it’s all about pure hate.
T: You have offerts to do splits with other band’s or only think in do your cd first.
Barag: Yes, we have had some offers. Thanks to all the bands for that. However, right now we’re focused on finishing the album. Unfortunately we wont be able to make all the splits due to lack of time.
T: Any last words?
Barag: Prepare for the massacre. Pain is just the tip of the iceberg.
T: In What Help to Tiberius Project the Label Anaites (Hioderman) from Brazil? Only in cost the recorder, cover, promo or other thing?
Dibih: Well … Hioderman is my friend, he helped us with the Cd cover and T-project marketing. Tiberius Project is independent, has no labels. Dennis has a private studio, we worked with the album “Dream Over” there.
T: When I listen the song "total madness" I remember the old thrash school bands? for what you not do this sound ever? Your sound is thrash melodic, heavy, speed with part fast and slow.
Yeah! Total Madness is T-project most played song on Radio Shows. The Tiberius Project first album was experimental, we are preparing the second one. We will do what the persons are asking us. It´s just wait and see.
T: The cover of your cd "Tiberius Project" is our reality war , destruction, pain, war? Or about the fabellas in Brazil?
Dibih: We tried touch the feelingsof persons with the album´s cover.The human beings are destroying the Planet Earth. Hioderman created the first T-project album´s cover, he is a great artist.
T: How do, Dibih and Dennis? when play in concert you have friends that support, your concerts are very hard?
Dibih: We are working for playing in concerts on future, but now T-project does not have structure for this. First we need spread T-project name around the world. We wanna do the best for the Metal and our fans. We want our place on history, history of Metal. It´s necessary work hard to reach this dream.
T: For why singer sad? is your style? When you singer in portugues is cool, more power, which are your next cd? new members?
Dibih: How I said, the first album was experimental … But now we know what the persons want. The headbangers say, then we do. We are working with the next album. I promisse that we will work hard to make a best album, havier than the first one. Members? Only when T-project goes for concerts, we have some ideas, but we prefer keep this mistery with us. We will tell everything on the right moment. For while I don´t want loose some good friends (lol).
T: The Song “You Bitch!” are dedicated for all “old school” people that like good sound.
Dibih: A friend of mine wrote the lyrics of “You Bitch!”, it´s strong like a punch. The next album will have more of “Total Madness” and “You Bitch!”, it´s a promisse.
I´d like to say thanks for this opportunity TchorT! It´s an honour for T-project gives this interview for The Legion of TchorT.
Cesare: Because I feel the psycological need to do it, or you'll have to
put me into a Sanatarium.
T: In what inspirate your lirycs, is very relax? How you define the letters?
Cesare: Lyrics of mine were inspired by everything surrounds me, inside
and outside my mind; earlier lyrics were based on satanic stuffs, horror/occult tales. Now i've explored various horizons into the sorrow, melancholy, dark fantasies of my dreams, my personal life (real episodes), and even the darkest side of the christian mythology (I must clear to you that I'm NOT christian, I don't belive in dogmas etc, but I was recently fascinated by the occult side of it. (Don't hate me too much for this, he he he!)
T: For what Corpse Paint?
Cesare: Corpse Paint is my religion. Is my face of Animae Capronii.
T: What think about satanic black metal?
Cesare: I don't belive in Satan. It's a part of the pre-mentioned christian mythology, but I haven't nothing against satanic lyrics. In the past I've abused 'em a lot.
T: You think in do a DVD?
Cesare: I think no... I haven't serious video material...some friends of mine done some shitty video that I HATE about some songs of mine, using shitty random images. FUCK THEM!!!! I HAVE TO DESTROY THEIR SHITTY OPERA.
T: Which other bands you play, any cd's?
Cesare: Nowadays I play with Animae Capronii only, and I will be that way forever.
T: Tell me more about this bands Dockalfar, Evig Begravelse, Cervus Nebulae, Hatecraft (Ita), Violent Shit, Nazgoat?
Cesare: Well, here I could speak a lot! My really early band (not mentioned here) was Armagherion, really really raw black metal one-man-band (the first
ancestor of Animae Capronii). I started around 2002. In 2003 came Evig
Begravelse with the drummer Sir Mordred (my best comrade in life).
It was raw pagan metal first,and then became raw black metal. It was a great
act. Unfortunately we split-up after 2006. Mordred lost his interest in making black metal, and so all were done. Dockalfar was a epic ultra-raw black metal project done to test some new equipment abused later for Animae Capronii. It was a good under rated act. Violent Shit was my death metal project with my friend Giorgio (Dar Geio). Now we're split up, but we created very good stuffs. In the last one we turned into power/folk death metal. Hatecraft was also a great experience. With my comrade Efir we performed some good depressive experimental black metal acts. I'm sure you'll like it as many others, but now we are on hold...we live too far,and ..well,lots of fucking problems. Nazgoat & Cervus Nebulae were meaningless bands...i never liked 'em.
