T: Hello
Jun !! Why Deaflock name? Do any special meaning?
J: Hello!!
I am DEAFLOCK guitarist and founder. The meaning of DEAFLOCK came out of
differential lock. It is Drive system device of car. I put a will to go ahead
through the fierce distance and a long time surely. The reason why spelling is
different is that I connect it musically.
T: Deaflock
plays pure Thrash Metal bands. Tell me some bands that influenced the style of
the band?
J: I like
Megadeth, Kreator, Voivod, Blue Oyster Cult, M.S.G etc... I love AC/DC most. I
think favorite music and the style of the band are difference. The style of the
band thinks that the human nature that environment creates greatly influences
it. Though we express it, Pure Thrash Metal music fits it.
T: How
would you define your style and lyrics?
J: About
a style, it is free. I only develop the line of a born sound in music honestly.
It is a major cord or minor cord, or the dissonance cord doesn’t matter. About
a lyrics, it is daily anger and human weakness. It is good to apply anger to a
country and politics, but the anger exists routinely. Because it is daily, it
is easy to be missed. It includes the anger for oneself.
T: Is
your last CD. called "Courage to Expose All"? How you going with this
distribution and sales?
J: When
we break difficulty, courage to expose all the present conditions is necessary.
In Japan,
sell it in CD shop. Worldwide, I don’t know where sell our CD. I want you to
buy it directly from the band. In an underground band, it is important that a
band and the listener are near relations. If you want our CD, please e-mail
“deaflock2002@yahoo.co.jp”.
T: What
is the cover art for the band's CD."Courage to Expose All"? Do you
have something to do with the earthquake that affected the Fukushima nuclear
reactor?
J: Yes,
album title and the cover art link. It is natural to be conscious in an
earthquake disaster of Fukushima whereas it releases it now in Japan. A human
being is powerless for a natural phenomenon. It is not only Fukushima... It is
to think about nuclear to be important. We cannot see the truth from
information of the media. The argument by the politics is irrelevant, and the
people of the stricken area are forced to trouble. The scene reflected in a
photograph and the picture is true, but information has many fabrications. When
argue about a nuclear... The government, The media, Electric company and us
need “Courage to expose all”. I supported it to the individual of the stricken
area directly. I cannot know it whether the fund-raising organization really
uses the money of support at a stricken area.
T: What
difference do you find between your first CD. "Reality of False Pasts
and" Courage to Expose All"?
J: The
style doesn’t change basically. I think that the ability for song writing
arrangement and the sound production grew up with the second album drastically.
T: Must
be great to work with Horror Pain Gore Death Productions? Are you satisfied
with the support received from them?
J: Yes,
HPGD is awesome label. He loves heavy music of the underground deeply. It comes
through with work.
T: How's
it going to concerts with national and international bands? Have done many
concerts and Tours?
J: In
Japan, we do a concert with the band which is splendid in each place. Japanese
band is individual and splendid. This year, we do support DESTRUCTION Japan
tour in January and appearance True Thrash Fest in February. In March and June,
we appear in “Grind freaks” of Unholy Grave. It is the killer concert that is
all. We canceled a European tour of December by our problem is a very regret.
T: Are
you working on new songs? Perhaps for her third CD.?
J: Yes, we already have 5 songs of ideas. We
want to make a better album. We always have the passion and effort.
T: From
your point of view as both the Japanese metal scene? Has developed more? Try?
Were more magazines or bands?
J: The
metal scene of Japan may be small. The underground in particular is the severe
situation. But, everybody is only a splendid band. We can discover them than a
magazine in a concert.
