I) Hells, what’s up? Tell me all about the band. When have you started? Are you alone in it? Will the line up accept new members in the future?

I started with the band straight after the recording of Beheaded Lamb’s "A grave to this world" because I felt like playing the music I really liked after a rather stressful recording; Akerbeltz played strings at "Lugubrious Necromancer" and "Tales of the Unholy" and Daemonus from Winter Frost recorded some keyboards for "Tales of the Unholy".

There is no line up; I just call whoever I think convenient for each recording.

II) Your two demos (perhaps there are other demos) have been released very confidentially, 100 copies each…. Your band is so confidential that I didn’t read anything about it! Why don’t you release more copies? Will to reserve it to an "elite"?

I don’t give a fuck for the "elite", I didn’t record the demos thinking about how many copies I would release, I create the music for myself and I prefer to trade than to sell. I wasn’t going to edit it but Akerbeltz insisted in releasing some copies in Cdr through his label "Satanik Records" and after that, Chaos Productions got interested in releasing the demos in tape.

III) How do you get in touch with Chaos Prod? It seems the label stops its activity due to problems with neo Nazism in the land where is situated the label… Have you the same syndrome in your country about everything touching with Nazism? Here it’s forbidden, you know, same as Satanism during inquisition…And the law is merciless. What do you think about it? Are you looking for another label now?

Akerbeltz released a 7ep through the label and after some trading they offered to release it in tape; neo Nazism is not a problem in Spain, the police is too busy trying to catch Vasc and Muslim terrorists to give a fuck about extreme political ideas.

I’m not looking for a new label.

IV) There’s on the first demo a sentence which I want you to develop: "To fear the moon, to feed her as she must be fed and never look upon her feeding". I think it’s a druidic sentence. I’ve read such sentence in a book "Hungry Moon" by Ramsey Campbell. Do you know this book? Can you explain me why you have chosen this sentence?

I’m very interested in druids and Celtic religion and I have a lot of books about pagan religions, as a worshiper of the Moon I founded that sentence very appropriated for the music. I have read that book and others by the same author, and I must say that I enjoyed reading it.

V) Can you develop the lyrical theme of your demos?

In "Lugubrious Necromancer" the lyrics are about druids, necromancy and torture and in "Tales of the Unholy" they are a conceptual story based in an ancient legend about the Dark Queen’s Realm.

VI)There’s a difference between the 2 demos. Especially with the voice. On the first it’s more spontaneous and more common on the second. Why don’t you keep the scorched voice? I feel the second demo less melodic, more aggressive, without this fucking riffs quite ethereal as you’ve done on a track like in "A black mass" or "Cult of Serapha": Do you agree?

I changed the vocals due to the music, the voice I used in the first demo didn’t sound good with the new songs. I prefer the sound and feeling of the first demo.

VII) Both demos are recorded on Akerbeltz home. Are you satisfied with the production? There’s a link between you and the guy behind the band?

I’m absolutely satisfied with the productions as I hate studios and clear sound, Black Metal should stay necro. Akerbeltz is my husband and has been my partner for the last 13 years.

VIII) Spain scene seems to awake. There are more and more good bands. Tell me what bands deserve your respect in your country? Do you like the Pagan Black bands, there are some Basque bands like Adhur that I find fucking goods. Your country has a lot of this alternative wave of black (Berserk, Foscor, etc.). Are folklore and paganism very strong in your country?

The Spanish scene began at the early 90s, actually there where better bands then than in nowadays it’s just that we never gave a fuck about promoting. In general, Spanish Pagan Black Metal is quite pathetic. Bands that deserve my respect? I would name Amnion, Argar, Spectre, Winter Frost, Akerbeltz, Tanat, and perhaps a couple more, but the rest are bullshit, both music and personal attitude.

IX) How does Christianity influence your country? There are more and more problems with Islamic scum in your country. Do you think as the mass that the only fault is due to government? Do you believe in a new reconquista with mosques blossoming everywhere? How do you explain that a lot of bands don’t frontally attack Islam in their lyrics?

I had problems being a Satanist in the mid eighties but as I said before, we have big problems with fucking Islamic scum so the police aren’t worried about such things as Satanism, Nazism, etc. In Catalunya 9 out of 10 arrested are Muslims and people are getting tired of all this shit and are starting to take the law in their hands. It would be cool to kick out the Muslims, but also all the South American, East European, Gipsies, Jews, etc…

About talking about all this bullshit in the lyrics, it’s bad enough to live surrounded by it, I don’t think that Black Metal should get infected, it must stay dark, mystical and nihilistic.

X) Have you some echoes from our French scene? What are the bands you like in France?

Mutiilation and Massacra are two very good bands.

XI) I want to come back to the Nazism. Do you think this thing of political view has something to do in black? On one hand there’s hatred against Judea Christianity but on the other bands they want to preserve white children, and all things that come with this movement… (Dictatorship, end of individuals, etc.) Your point of view?

The link between Black Metal and Nazism is the hatred against Jews, but there are also other things in common such as hatred and ultra violence but the fact that they want to preserve and protect a race is totally against Black Metal, as the principal of Black Metal is the extermination of humanity.

XII) Ok it’s the end, conclude as you want…Regards…
