Satarial (Russia)
T: Hello Angelika! How are you? The classic question Why do you put Satarial the band?
A: To begin with, we recently returned from a European tour and
immediately started recording our new album. At the moment I already recorded
most of the drum parties.
Why I started to play in Satarial?
At that moment I played in the first female death metal band Russia
Succubus on bass guitar. Accidentally met with Lord Seth and he offered to be
the keyboard player in the band Satarial. I liked the ideas of the group, both
musical and philosophical. The music was with a great influence medieval
melodic and folklore and I was very interested. Combined with black metal it
was something entirely new. And eventually, I joined the band and after some
time left the band Succubus.
T: You have been playing since 1993 have recorded many productions Do you remember anything from how to start Satarial?
A:
The entire history of the band Satarial is a struggle for freedom of thought,
expression and for religious freedom.
The
way of the band was not easy from the beginning. When in Russia the communist
regime became irrelevant, the government decided to replace it with another
idea for the masses, such as faith. And make totalitarian regime obedient
citizens through the orthodox christian church. Since the early 90's orthodox
religion began to gain more and more power and authority. And she has
negatively attitude to people, which not taking her philosophy. In 1995, on the
first public performance of the band Satarial, in participants of band shoot
from a pistol religious fanatics, who were militants of orthodox church. They in their activity
includes protection of churches and so on. In the future the Church has
increasingly infiltrated in the Department of state and policy. And
accordingly, many of our concerts were banned. The band has a lot of
litigation.
T: The Black Metal band
started as Satarial
in a very troubled year in the Nordic scene.
Is there any relationship?
A:
When the Christian religion is increasing its influence on politics and the
state, and begins to encroach on the freedom of the people, then in the culture
( music, poetry ) appear anti-clerical tendencies. And the church begins to
fight against these anti-clerical trends in art.
T: Angelika Satarial you do blend
of many styles Folk, Black, Industrial, Gothic many musical tendecias.
Who are responsible for creating the music the sound of each song?
A:
All music, lyrics and scripts of our show creates Lord Seth. I'm only doing
arrangements of drums and some arrangements of keyboards.
T: The lyrics are
based on vampires, blood, wolves, love and anti
Christian. What reading
or watching to create these kinds
of issues?
A:
Our creation touch on a few layers, one of which mysticism and pagan folklore.
And the other layer is anti-clericalism. On the creation inspires wild nature, forests, mountains, our
sorcery practices. energy that surround us, and Nordic mythology and history.
We
are inspired by only from the world around us, not touched by people. We deny
the illusion created by the Demiurge, and we live by the fact that lie between
light and darkness.
T: You were called Ad maiorum
Satan Glorium in
1989. What happens in 1993
for change of name
of the band?
A:
The band recorded a demo in 1989. And after 1990 and 1992 the band was not
active.
The
court USSR recognized the activity of a band
A.M.S.G. of anti-Soviet and fascistic. The name of the band and her
music were prohibited. Seth was sent to the psychiatric clinic. And the rest of
the band members - into the army.
In
1992 Seth decided to resume musical activities. And started to assemble a new
team of musicians. And then Seth decides
to change name of the band on Satarial. And make the sound of black metal with
medieval influences.
T: I see newspaper
clippings where they criticize the
fact that your Angelika go out playing drums with
topless. And consider
one satanic band
in a Russian television program. What do you think of Russian society?
A:
Naked female body to me is like a Manifesto of freedom, it is a challenge for
enslaved and society of obscurantist.
Using
sexual energy can be achieved great goals, because this is the energy of Fire ,
the energy of Chaos. Our show is not only ancient magic ritual, it is also a
sieve that separates the real people from zombies of god.
The
creation of the band Satarial closely associated with witchcraft. At concerts
we show magical mystery and rituals. This is not just a show, it's a real magic
work. We use the naked female body, which represents the nature and the
Mother-goddess.
orthodox
christians are afraid of the naked female body more than the Devil. We like it when they are afraid of
our concerts.
In
Russia now the totalitarian regime of the orthodox church. Most people in
Russia believe that the christian religion is the salvation of the country. And
now they are ready to destroy all those who have a different opinion. The state
currently already fully subject to the laws of the orthodox church. And all the
recent adoption of new laws has almost brought Russia to the theocratic system.
At the moment all the concerts of the band Satarial in the cities of Russia
thwarted by the police or religious fanatics. And so our concerts are held only
in Europe, not in Russia. In Russia now, if a musician doesn't lick the ass to
a priest, then he can forget about the scene. You probably know what happened
for example with the band Behemoth in Russia. Now most of the major festivals
and open airs in Russia are held under the patronage of the clergy. All people
to know about this, but pretend what to not know. And thus, many bands and
their audiences have become puppets of the ROC. The TV also only performs the tasks
of the church and state brainwashing people. On Russian TV saying nothing but lies.
T: Currently have
been 6 CD'S Is there much difference between CD and CD? What we can tell you about it?
A:
Satarial at the moment has released 7 CD's, not including reissues and
compilations. The albums differ from each other arrangements, but they leave
yourself in the basics of music of Satarial and folklore.
T: Do you think
that every CD produced
by Satarial has a different style?
Since
all the music writes Seth, here I quote his words:
We
no longer think about the limitations of styles and directions. In music we are
talking about their emotions and thoughts. The word destroys the true. Word
cannot convey the meaning and only the music speaks the language of nature. The
real song is a scream of the soul, not just unnecessary words. We learn this
from nature and from ancient civilizations that have not lost touch with the
true.
T: Listening to
his latest CD "Lunar Cross" I liked the
style as well as letters. How would you consider this
CD?
A:
"Lunar Cross" - a mystical revelation symbolism of the swastika. The
movement from illusion to truth, from life to death, from good to evil, from
light to darkness. This is the way counter-clockwise in the rituals of revenge
attacks in the witchcraft. This activation of the four elements in their
original titanic condition.
We
decided to record this album in the tradition of the old school of metal. We
recorded it live, as it sounds on concerts. We did not use computer technology
which align the dynamics. It is the most
heaviest album of Satarial. I on this album was recorded not only the keyboards
as on the previous albums, but and debut as a drummer. The album imbued with magic, mysticism, filled with
spells and planetary harmonies.
T: I see you have much support from labels.
A:
The album was released by three labels: Satanath Records (Russia), Metallic
Media (USA), and Black Plague Records (USA) in august 2014.
T: In his concerts
do scenographic presentations.
What made to represent some songs? Or is it just
marketing?
A:
At our concerts we strengthen with help of visual show the magical power of
music. Lunar magic dance mixed with blasphemy and with Great witchcraft. We
give everyone a drink from the chalice of magical wine and to offer join us.
Also in the show we use magic incense, aimed at the objective of this ritual.
We support equilibrium and the protogenic Nature. We invite all to take part in
our witchcraft at concerts Satarial. If we will not do this, then the
equilibrium will be broken completely and demiurge shall devour the souls of those who pray to
God. And someday we close our time and distance, are able to go beyond the mind
and creation. And see the light of the primal darkness.
T: Some last words for The Legion
Of Tchort? And our readers who are interested in getting their goods
to where they can write?
A: I would like to wish:to be free from dogmas, believe in yourself, to
live in harmony with naturead enjoy life !Be blessed!
