[Courtesy of Foedus Aeternus Zine] [ http://www.foedus-aeternus.net ] I) Hells Ebola ! Well, things are all right now…You came out of jail, new album is out…so what’s up? What are you listening at the moment ? Hails warfriend!!! Now I am preparing by the rest of the band concerts, a new material which will be edited by the video clip in the cemetery as bonus and answering interviews to the ones interested in Cryfemal. Everything is going right by now, will have new t-shirts and pins soon, made by Epidemic Human Records from Germany and Regimental Records is going to reedit in a very special cd “Listen… Death is coming!!”, “Raising deads… buring alives!!” and a new track recorded in a essay. Right now I’m listening to many bands in my pc as, for example, Xasthur, Xerion, Crystal Moors, Mortinatum, Empty, Godus, Indomitus, Abigor, Morbosidad, and Cryfemal, of course, just to tell you some. II) I just want to return quickly to your sad experience. What was your crime? How was it in jail? Did this period calm you, or did it feed more your hate ? Ufff, well I don’t want to make this subject important because it has already passed. The only crime that apparently I made was an attempt of homicide. I have passed through really bad moments, prison was fatal, I was very depressed and even had hallucinations by the solitude. This period has not calmed to me, it has made me stronger and wise. It has made me go crazier too. I am really prepared to unload the whole hate I have inside, my gun is loaded. III) Present me the band. You are not anymore alone! What is the implication of the others? Do they help you to compose ? Now we are five: Cadáver is the second guitarist; Rayblood the bassist; Necroseheiim in keyboards; Okkult is the drummer and me shouting and playing the fucking guitar. Most of the things by now are composed by me, I will always have the last word in this. IV) You play a fucking fast black metal, main influenced by Dark Funeral and Swedish blasting scene. Do you agree with me? How does your new album sound like ? Yes, I agree with you, but Cryfemal is not the same as Dark Funeral, it is very different, but more or less you’re right, all our works have been very brutal and fast. “With the help of the devil” is the most bestial and wild work we have done ‘till now, I’m really satisfied with its sound and production, it has our character and personality. V) Why didn’t you stay on War Prod? Present me the new label and why you have chosen to sign with it ? We edited two Works with War Productions, “Listen… death is coming!!” and “Raising deads… buring alives!!”. This label was only dedicated to edit and sell, they gave us too little copies, and we nearly couldn’t speak to them. It is very little professional too. Well, due to that, we decided cutting the relation and looking for other label. Right after recording we sent some promos to the foreigner and Trinity Record of Hong Kong was the first seal that offered us a good edition, so we published with them "With the help of the devil". ‘Till now everything has gone right with them, about promotion, etc. They’re much more professional than War Productions. We signed a contract with them for an album, nothing else. In the future we don’t know what we’re going to do for editing the new stuff. VI) You have some texts in Spanish…well I can’t speak Spanish but I guess it’s about Satanism and hate but can you precise the themes? Are the lyrics important for you? Don’t you think that English is better to spread your hate ? My lyrics are very important in Cryfemal, so much as music. They deal with everything relationed with death, spirits walking through cemeteries, darkness, fucking religion and much more. Here in Spain we’re the only Black Metal band which sings in Spanish, many people appreciates us for that, and congratulates us. To me is much better and I feel more identified singing in Spanish. I’m deeply sorry, my blood boils !. VII) Tell me more about the splanish scene. I know some labels (Xtreem, Oniric, Nigra mors) and bands (Foscor, Xerion, Harridan…) but it seems this scene is quite confidential but some bands begin to be exported (like Foscor signed in a French label, Sacral productions)… Ok, Spanish scene has always had its important bands and it will have them as everywhere. We have a lot of followers of extreme metal, labels, zines, radios, etc. I can’t tell you everyone. Some bands in a determined moment try to be known like usual in other countries, like for example Foscor. I think that this benefits us. It’s true that Spain is a country musically confidential, but I don’t know why. VIII) Do you know our French scene? Do you like our bands ? Yes, of course I like the scene and bands like Eternal, Majesty, Vlad Tepes, Mutiilation, etc. IX) Your demos sounds very powerfull. Why don’t you make a necrosound? Do you think “clean” production is the best for black metal ? Cryfemal’s sound has always been very powerful, personally I like very much the sound, it could be better and darker, I have thought about it and it could be. We have decided to improve it in the new tracks we’ll record. It will be done, but step by step. X) Do you have other projects ? Not by now. XI) Are you playing live? I think black metal lose his atmosphere in live especially behind amorphous public, waiting for mistakes and moving only for big bands…your advice about this. Yes, we have a concert in a festival with extreme bands from Madrid soon. A Black Metal band should make little concerts and well done, it’s true that it looses musically but it depends of how would be the ambient, the day, the stage, etc. I think that if you like playing in a good place and you make it right, you can give a great BM concert. The most important is controlling the ambient and feel good. XII) What is your point of view on nowadays black metal scene? Don’t you think there are too many labels, bands, shits ?? I think that now there’s much less shit than some years before. This year I have listened to better BM than in 2001, for example. There are many zines, labels and shitty bands, but everyone with time go far away or disappear from the scene. This affects me nothing at all. XIII) Are you interested by nationalism and other political views? Do you think metal has to be heard only for music, or that a message has to been spent ? Uff, Black Metal isn’t nationalism, nor politics, bands can feel their country, but this isn’t a part of Black Metal. The only message from Black Metal is darkness. XIV) What is the state of the religion in your country… Does Catholicism blind the masses? Now I suppose islam become a new danger for you...Tell me more Aaaarrrggggttttttthhhhh,puuuuagggg !!!!! Spain is a catholic and preservative country. Church has a very important vote. But anyway these days there’s much protest to the church for their opposition to the option of the religion’s subject in colleges, homosexual marriage and the cloning of embryos. It seems that AlQaeda has joined the terrorist band E.T.A. and they’re collaborating. But I don’t know, fuck them all, I don’t want to speak about this shit. XV) More and more true black metalheads are selling rare items only to make a profit…what the fuck?! Do you think that it’s the feeling of the black metal scene?? Do you want to pay 100 euros for a vinyl ?? True black metalheads sucks. This isn’t feeling. I don’t pay 100€ nor 50€ for a vynil, even if it is signed by Euronyumous. I don’t understand this attitude, with that I don’t know what is to understand BM. Anyway I think it is respectable. Sometimes I buy some strange material and cult in vynil too, when I can afford that only. XVI) Dissection is coming back...but have you heard the crappy mp3 from the single (a fucking single like Britney spears). Everybody is waiting something very big…but do you think it will be as good as before ? Dissection super star + nuclear blast € = britney ... I will go to see them this weekend ‘cause they play here, in Madrid, but I won’t buy their last cd. They’re fucking sold. Most or every band which triumphed can’t keep on triumphing now. It is the hour of the new promises. XVII) Well this is the end, it’s time for you to conclude…thanks…Gasolina y fuego !! Get ready for the third World War : Contact: |
