Get Rid Of Red Eyebrows

Interview (English) - Necro of Enshadowed

From the Greek background of the satanic black metal horde Enshadowed rose before now 10 years up.
During the long existence, were published as a few sound recordings that brought them outside their home country's huge popularity.
Recently I had the opportunity to perform with the guitarist, who is also one of the band's founder, a detailed interview about the band's history and the future plans of the Greek demons ...

Hails Necro!

I'm pleased to greet you to this interview, it took a long time to get to it, because I had other stuff to do, but now the time came to present to the Austrian Enshadowed Primarily readers.
Hails! It's an honor to talk with you! Enshadowed is an active black/death metal band the last 10 years. It’s easy to understand that we don’t follow the sound of Greek black metal scene and this is important for us.

1) Let’s start with the biography…

Who from you formed Enshadowed and how did the band develop from your point of view?
Enshadowed was born in 1998. In the first years we released 1 promo and 3 demos. The original line up was performed from Impaler, my blood brother Lord Acheron and me. The members changed many times in these 10 years. I was the only member who remains. I never think to stop the activity of the band. So, at 2002 we released our debut “Messengers of the Darkest Dawn” and after one year the “Intensity” full length album. The line up changed again and Impaler is back! The next step was to release some underground tapes and give some live shows. Finally, before 1 year we are back with the “6.6.6” split and “The Art ov Blasphemies” split EP with Mantak (Malaysia).

2) Your last release lasts back for 1 year... When will be your next record released and what will it be? A full-length album, another split or a single?

As I told you, before one year we release a split full length album with the American cult black metal band Thornspawn. Entitled “6 black candles, 6 rotting hearts, 6 sacrifices for Satan”. 10 tracks - 5 tracks each band. It was released by Zyklon-B Productions in Cd and Digi Cd version. I hope soon to have the vinyl version in my hands. This period we are in studio for recordings. The next release it will a split release with the bands of “SECTA NOVA”. After this, we plan a split 7” inch vinyl release with Vulturine from Brazil.

Will there be any stylistic differences?

You must listen to understand. In every new release we change things in our sound. We try to be more extreme in many ways.

3) You seem to like Death Metal privately.. Maybe more than Black Metal?
What does it go about in music from your opinion?

Hmm… yes! But Enshadowed has Black Metal ideology. The sound of the band is a mix of Black and Death metal. Some times more close to black and sometimes to death.

4) Did your musically interests develop during the band-history or do you like the same bands you listened to your founding-phase?

Look, I am a musician; I don’t feel just only a “Black metal guitarist”. So, I see the things from a different point of view than a classic fan of Black metalhead. I listen to many different bands and many kinds of music. But this is just a personal enjoyment and nothing that can change anything in the band.

5) You seem to have a strong brachial kind of playing… Which bands would you say inspired your music?

We spend many time before creating each new song, it’s a kind of ritual for me. Well my favorite bands are Slayer and Morbid Angel but I can’t say that we have influences from these amazing bands. Just only the same diabolical spirit… Maybe you can say that we are in the same satanic circle with bands like Behemoth, Cadaver, Aeternus etc…

6) What do you think about Satanism? I would say that Enshadowed is a pretty blaspheme and misanthropic Black Metal band. Would you call yourself a Satanist, or do you have nothing in common with this body of thought?

If you believe that Satan is the symbol behind the free spirit of human and the open minds, then yeah I am a Satanist. I believe in nothing, I believe that only flesh and death are real, I believe in myself and that’s enough. I accept the existence of chaotic energy of nature but I don’t explain this with the existence of God or Satan as the Christians do.

7) Beneath enshadowed, you also play in other bands, for example Burial Hordes. Have you ever thought about leaving a side-band to concentrate more on your main-band?

Yeah, I create Burial Hordes before 6 years. It’s main band too. In same periods of my life I have the inspiration to create music for more than one style. So, this is the reason that I am the music maker behind Merciless Crucifixion and Vomit Church and Burial Hordes too…

8) Have there be any critical band internal conflicts, or do you get well on with each other?

We are humans and humans are shit! So, it’s normal to don’t agree in everything! The important is to find the best solution for every problem.

9) Do you play many gigs in your homeland?

We played many times with bands like Impaled Nazarene, Dark Funeral and many more. Now, we gonna give a live holocaust with Belphegor at the end of December.

10) What do you think about the Greek metal-scene? Do you think that NS- Black Metal in Greece is really that dominant, like it looks for outstanding people? What is your opinion to that development?

Hellenic scene has many bands in every kind of metal music but sure a big number with black metal bands. 99% of the black metal bands are shits. Childs who try to prove that can be extreme without real spirit and knowledge of how to create music. Greek Death metal scene is better. Inveracity, Vulnus & Sickening Horror are great examples! NS? What is this? Sorry, I don’t care about human weakness …

11) How does it look like with the reputation and degree of popularity of your band in Greece? Are your concerts well-visited and does the audience make some action at your gigs?

Well, Greek fans are strange. But, I can say that the biggest number of fans knows us and likes our horde.

12) Do you also travel to other countries? Do you also played outside of Europe (beyond Europe) or do you ever thought about that?

Before some years we played at Sophia of Bulgaria. We are interested to give live shows worldwide but it isn’t the most important thing for us. To play out of our country needs much money to spend. Some bands here spend a little time to create music and spend much time in fucking “MySpace” to suck “friends” and promoters. The stupid thing is that the metalheads approve the bad music as “cult” and accept the popularity which a shit band can create from internet.

13) Did you ever play in Austria? If not, I’m pretty sure, some of the Austrian black metalers would really enjoy your blaspheme sound.

This is fantastic! I hope to play one day in your land and bring a real holocaust!

14) What exactly are the reasons from your point of view that you make music/What are the reasons for the existence of enshadowed/what do you want to express with enshadowed?

Enshadowed is all my life. I don’t believe that is an extreme metal band only. The band one day will stop but the spirit of this energy will stay after death in this fucking planet.

15) Are you happy with your Image?
You talk about corpse paint? Well, corpse paint is not necessary to play black metal. We choose it to be a part of our image because it’s a good way to show the inside part of our personalities… The bad thing is that nowadays many bands make this theatric art to be ridiculous. I am happy that we are not one of them.

Thank you very much for the interview! It was a pleasure to speak with you, hopefully some Austrian readers get into the taste of your brutal music now! Will the destinations of Enshadowed no longer be unreachable!

Interview - Adrastus Total Hate




long time I listen to the harsh sounds of the German Black Metal Total Hate . Highly recommended is any previous publication, Her latest work is the way in February of this year ... appeared
I have managed the band's founder Adrastus a few of the current situation and other topics include what to ask this dark force ...

It is my honor to welcome you to this interview to may Adrastus!

Ave!

1) Could you maybe tell a little at the beginning of the current situation in the band? For all I know is, Total Hate must now be on hold for a while ... what exactly are the causes of and when will you get the audience back to face?

Well, our Situation looks right now like this that we back a few weeks, the drum tracks for our 2nd Album has been added, as long us our drummer is not available. In the coming weeks, the stringed instruments and the vocal tracks are recorded. Agonia Records will release this album and what happens next will be seen. On ice Total Hate yes first time only in terms of shows down just stays as our drummer for a while in Oslo. Also this week plans to run for a few shows / festivals, because we want to play in 2009 increased slightly Live.

2) Your plans so soon a split with a Norwegian band publish, especially "Stillhet" ... This band is indeed from Løten (in Norway). Should we assume that you have wide contacts? At what other bands have you otherwise have good contacts? Splits are even more in the pipeline?

Well, I already have some contacts in Norway. Some contacts are regular, some are limited to the swapping of CDs / LPs. Bands which are said to include, for example Stillhet, Urgehal, Endezzma, anxiety Skvadron, Elite, Throne of Katarsis a few others in Norway and of course worldwide. Further splits are not yet scheduled, but did not rule for the future.

3) How does it with your label Agonia Records? From them I have so generously given, the promotion of your new CD. The label is reliable, or were there a couple of disputes?

By and large, it is already satisfactory. You always hear how it is with other bands on their label and as I said, it fits this far. It was disappointing that the split with Agonia Stillhet publish and did not want that to date still not the LP version of Planet Earth Depopulating is published, but the way things are sometimes in the Underground.

4) Since its foundation, it took so many years before it to your first "real" Album came out. What were the reasons? First you wanted to expand because of your other publications well known in your background a bit, or you wanted to you for the first album a little time, so it can be recorded properly?

I am of the opinion that a band should grow for now. Of experience, playing ability and so on. We were initially due to the Seeds of Hate old times, also leveled an offer for an album, but I was going to take a demo and see how everything is designed and I do not regret that decision.

6) You are all so involved in several other projects ... do you want to give more precise information about?

It's no big secret that everyone of us have other bands / projects, works as our guitarist is about to launch a solo project, Aer is yes, inter alia Wolfthorn, majesty and other involved Winterheart plays including at Nyktalgia and dying, and I find Seeds of Hate previously played bass Deathronation and now will live a while with Wolfthorn help out on bass. 2009, I will, however, stop all other activities and will focus only on Total Hate.

7) How often do you actually do decide to meet for rehearsals, finally, you seem concerned by the side projects to be ...

rehearsals are for Total Hate do not care and not simply because our drummer lives so usually more than 400 miles away. I work with capable musicians each of which has its mission, and performs perfectly. Once pending CD recordings or concerts, we meet a few days earlier, the play set a few times through and then we are fit.

8) Total Hate ... as the name indicates (in German "Total Hate"), it is a misanthropic black metal band. Would you actually as "all haters" and called misanthropes? How exactly would you define it, there are no people that will mean something?

misanthropy means an objection / contempt for all humanity and in my view, this attitude is limited to people outside the circles in which I am staying. I noticed at some point that I have little in common with humanity and wants to have even the slightest to do with it. It could also quite simply this way: I care a damn humanity. Wind mankind has sown over me enough, now they reap the storm. I do not live or only as part of society. I am acting like an observer of the species with which I have completed a long time. This refers indeed reflected the current metal scene and most of their fans!

misanthropes are very selfish people, what I really think in general for any negative trait ... but as soon as the selfish one meets the other, the situation can easily come into the tilt. Are you by your attitude often involved in arguments?

It's actually quite simple. The people trusted me I am anything but a selfish and people do not know me, I prefer to let my silence. I usually people go out of the way, so I'm rarely involved in arguments.

9) And what about Band Intern from? Was there also times greater differences?

I do not know (extreme) metal band in which it is not from time to time differences are. In many a band more in some less, so I'm at Total Hate to a fashionable from the very beginning, what I intended to do with the band and the other hole I only musician in the band that I know are either closer to or from my friends and trust that I can.

10) Satan is playing like it should be in the true black metal yes, and a role in your music ... what exactly? She also practiced satanic rituals, or would you rather see as the image? What is your view of Satanism?

No, we practice at least no common rituals. From Satanism has probably everyone in the band's own view. I do not believe this "Teen Satanism", where graves vandalized and chickens are slaughtered, I think I speak for all of us. I'm not a preacher and I'm not in front of other people to convince them of my faith. To me, Satanism is definitely not an image! Suffice it to say, Satanism is for me a kind of energy source that surrounds me constantly, it is something very personal, but what I am talking to no one, also because I'm not interested other opinions on this subject at all. I have taken several years ago, my way I still am and will continue to go without compromise.

What about your attitude to other faiths? Are there any with which you can also identify you, or do you have to do with anything?

the No's are not, and I want to do with other faiths have nothing. I reject all other faiths for me!

11) You founded the band, would you describe yourself as a leader of the troupe? Dance by one of your pipe, or is Total Hate to become a joint project?

In a sense I'm probably the head, since I founded the band, main songwriter, am answering all the interviews and take care of all organizational. The others do not need to dance to my tune, because we are actually quite an opinion when it comes to most things, and when we disagree, we talk about it. This makes Total Hate then turn to a common project or a band.

12) What were the reasons for it, would Total Hate cease to exist one day? Your death? Total
Would Hate to your death no longer exists, or would you agree to pursue the other members of the band?

would at this stage say that Total Hate definitely after my death would not exist anymore. How would it look in a few years, I can not say. But I would not mind if the other, the band would continue worthy. Another possible end would be for me for a long period of time, lack the inspiration or I'm just saturated.

13) I guess an extent that its commercial bands could not suffer well, if not hated ... or bands, which are aimed to the highest level of awareness to achieve and no interest in the true background of the Black Metal more have.
It is concluded that before you did not particularly known to be right? What do you want with Total Hate achieve anything ... is it only the music and express your thoughts about, or has even more profound reasons Total Hate?

Nowadays it is simply that you make from the Black Metal anyway not hardly can live up to, so I have to earn in any way with any band so far even begin to consider getting money. My goal was first and foremost always my vision to express my views and to achieve. I wanted to play the kind of Black Metal, which for me was always Black Metal. Whether we will or not known to me, ultimately, completely equal, we prefer our thing through with Total Hate as usual, without considering the interests of a so-called scene. We do what we want and not what others want or expect to hear!

14) How the impressions of your recent live performances were so? The rooms were filled with strong?

The impressions were mostly ok as far as the audience. The best performance was far from my point of view, which in December 2007. The first of the new line up. At Total Hate appearances have been represented from 30-300 people have all sorts of public figures. It all depends on whether it is a festival or a concert. Is it during the week, there is a Weekend. There are many factors as to recoup. Live shows are something very special for me. The feelings can be ill during a show to describe. It is as if a demon has taken possession of me and I at the moment his "tool" bin. There are feelings of obsession, rage, anger, aggression, hate flow through me. There is hardly anything emotionally gripping Deres for me to play with Total Hate as a concert.

15) Which countries have you already played and which countries you intend to travel to? What about Austria?

So far we have seen, unfortunately, only in Germany, Poland and Holland. I hope of course that we'll soon be playing in Austria, as I did back then with Seeds of Hate already done. My personal dream would, of course, due to play through my sources of inspiration and influence, in Norway and Sweden. Otherwise, I'm open to all countries and continents. South America would be as interesting.

16) The future ... you never know what it will bring. You have another album in any event planning or according to your myspace page already in labor! Could you give more information about this album here?

There is much about it yet to report, we have already mentioned how the drum tracks recorded and will make us soon to the rest. The album will contain 7 songs, including one song a cover version of an earlier Swedish Black Metal Band will be to no longer exists. The playing time will be approximately between 35 and 40 minutes.

17) Well ... I must ask you to complete a question that is very dear to me personally?

course .....

Why have you actually changed your logo? The old logo looked much better in my opinion ... I've ever needed to raise one of your demo-shirt could see the still the old logo was!

So the first logo I've designed myself back then and how it's always like that, after a certain time, I can not see my logo and everything I've just asked again Szpajdel Christophe, who had also designed the Seeds of Hate logo. Personally, I like our new logo better because it just looks more aggressive.

So then ... thank you so much for you for taking time to answer my questions! It was my pleasure, I wish you and your band yet another successful anniversary!

I thank you for your time and support!

Review - "Proclama" by Adversam



Artist: Adversam
Style: Black Metal
name of the phonogram: Proclama
Running time: approximately 36 minutes

first Proclama
second The Conqueror Worm
third Kamanlie
4th Fog
5th Metro Dogs
6th Little Death
7th Death Wants More Death
8th Unfairy Tales
9th Warped Fate

In "Proclama" is the 2nd Full-length publication of the Italian black metal horde Adversam.
was several months ago, I received a promo version of this dark horse (to support what I am always happy) from the growing Horrizon Label Bloodred Records. After the first publication
Adversam "Animadverte" it should have almost 10 years , Take before the second album saw the light of the world ... In May 2008, is now "Proclama" thanks Bloodred Horizon entered the market and available for the audience!

Regarding the music, I must say that I expected due to the keyboards and some female line rather cheesy melodic black metal ... much more likely to use the Italian occult esoteric but racy elements, both riffs and drum deposits are then smashed very quickly. But there would be for me even the first critical point:
The melodies are oversubscribed or be swallowed by the hysterical drums. Its not often you find some parts hanging in the ear . Remain
Another criticism of this disc would be above all the opera-like clean vocals which one sometimes hears in the background and in my opinion, considering the fast music is not really appropriate.

most positive effect most likely the title "Kamanlie" and "Warped Fate", I personally a couple of points to be pleasant and audible feel ...
with another similar-sounding album, I can Proclama not compare, however, since I generally do not great friend of this type of Black Metal and I am therefore also deal with any such publications.
Otherwise, I can not indicate much about the work, since it largely consists only of irrem Geknüppel and exaggerated melodies from the category like her to be complex, but nonetheless they are not really something to win ...
say So all in all I have to tell me the Geknüppel not really impressed ... maybe it's because I more like a melodic and atmospheric sound concept think that is Proclama but unfortunately not exist.
after all the slogan "To each his own ': Who
Herumgetrommle however troubled, crazy tunes and wild hysteria is, to which a pure listening in Proclama not hurt!
