Northern Plague Interview

1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording of the new album?

Fen: Hey! The releasing process takes much time, so we had some work since the end of the recording session. The cover, layout for digipack, working on the distribution channels... What`s more, the concerts are one of the most important parts of this music for us, so soon we`ll announce two tours. A lot of challenges for a young band, but this is what gets me going. I really like it.

2.You have a new album coming out early this year, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical direction it has taken and also how does it differ from the album you released in 2011?

"Manifesto" is our second release. After the first EP "Blizzard of the North" we played a lot of concerts but all this time we had many ideas for a new material. We wanted to record a full-length, cohesive album with good sound where we put all our hearts and emotions in the songs. "Manifesto" is definitely better arranged, with large variations of atmosphere and at the same time with a main idea, main theme in all songs.

3.Seem of your lyrics cover ancient mythology and misanthropy, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in these topics?

Yes, you are right, lyrics on "Manifesto" contains different varieties of metaphors and references to mythologies. I really like myths, especially from the Near East and Ancient Rome. At my university I had a lot of lectures about that so I must remember some things . You know, history is absolutely amazing and you may find many analogies to modern times there. We live in strange times, at the edge of big changes and in texts you can find it.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Northern Plague".

At the beginning we sat in the rehearsal room and brainstormed like crazy. I do not remember who said that "plague from the north" (we live in north-east part of Poland) fits us and it wasn`t long till this idea was forged into "Northern Plague". And that`s the story :)

5.Out of all the live shows and tours you have done, which one did you enjoy the most?

Touring and concerts are always a big adventure. New places, new people, hundreds of kilometers in a van - there is nothing better for us. "Baptizing Europe in Blood" - last tour with the Brazilian devils of Unearthly was totally awesome. They are really nice guys and I hope we will meet in the future again.

6.What are the touring plans for the new album?

For some days we`ll play first show with the new material from "Manifesto". Soon we will announce two tours - one in Poland and Germany, second in Russia and other countries. During summer we have Under The Black Sun Festival [Germany] and Blackened Life Festival [Russia] and I hope it`s not the end.

7.The new album came out on Folter Records a label more known for black metal, and while you have that in your sound you also heavy a good amount of death metal, how do you feel that you fit on this label?

Folter Records is a VERY professional label with experienced management. We are proud they decided to release our album. We have full support from their side and I am sure that they believe in our music. Even if it`s death metal with black influences.

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to the newer material by fans of black and death metal?

It is too early to talk about feedback but even now we have a lot of good reviews and orders from different countries. It`s pleasing.

9.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?

I honestly don`t know. Now it`s time for "Manifesto" and we don`t think about future releases. It doesn`t matter at this time. 

10.What are some bands or musical styles that have had an infleunce on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

I`m a big fan of Spotify, so every day I discover new bands and music. Now on my playlist you can find John Lee Hooker, Black Sabbath, Blindead, Nine Inch Nails, Gojira and Anaal Nathrakh.

11.Do you have any non musical interests?

Of course! Especially books - I read tons of books on my reader. I am tech-fan too - you know, mobile phones, tablets, new technologies :)

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Listen and support - I hope we will meet on a Northern Plague concert in the future. Remember about our new album "Manifesto".

Best regards!

Endless Chaos Interview

 Answered by Mike Menza (guitar) and lightly by Jordan Dorge (vocals)
Free Download @ http://endlesschaos1.bandcamp.com/ 

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

Endless Chaos was formed in 2011 by me and my brother Alex (ex-drummer) . Our songs are fuelled by the energy we get from our crowd. We focus on keeping our songs fast, technical and catchy.  

2.How would you describe the musical sound that is present on your ep?

 I would describe our sound as modern death and thrash metal.  I take everything I love about thrash, black and death metal and  incorporate those elements into our music. 

3.Can you tell us a little bit more about the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
The lyrical topics of endless chaos focuses on gore, perversion and horror.  

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Endless Chaos'?

The name itself has a couple meanings; First of all it refers to us on stage, we bring a high level of energy live when we play our songs. We love seeing our fans wrecking their necks. It also refers to the world we are living in surrounded by endless chaos; murders, bombings, and other acts of violence that affect peoples lives personally and physically. 

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

We aim for every show to be our best but one show that will always standout for me was when opening for Skeletonwitch in 2013. We played the set as a 3 piece just vocals guitar and drums and the crowd went nuts. To best describe our performance is energetic, loud and in your face. 

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

We are planning touring in the near future. We have a huge show in April with Kataklysm and Aborted which will be our first time playing live as a 5 piece and in addition to that we will be appearing at some festivals. We hope to play as much as possible into the new year. 

7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
We are currently looking for a label to represent us.  We would love to take the chaos to the masses. 

8.Are the band members involved with any other musical projects?

All of us except myself are in other metal bands from Winnipeg peg. Jordan Dorge our singer also does vocals for black metal band Wilt. Our bassist and drummer Jeff Humarang and James Burton respectively play in metalcore band The Brugada Effect and our guitarist Mike Toews also plays bass in death metal band called Eyam. 

9.When can we expect a full length and what direction will it be in, music wise?

We are writing right now for our full length, we are looking to put about 9 - 10 songs on it. We are really focusing our writing toward riffs that are fun to play but still sound heavy and aggressive helping create our unique brand of blackened thrash and death metal. 


10.What are some bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

I draw influence and inspiration from tons of bands both old and new. I love a lot of the newer metal bands because they are setting the bar for how songs are written and performed. Lately I've been listening to a lot of the newer albums from 2013 like Skeletonwitch, Revocation, Carcass and Exhumed.

11.Do you have any non musical interests?

Outside of music I love riding on dirt trails on my bike and playing video games 

12.Before we wrap up this interview do you have any final words or thoughts?

Endless Chaos plans on going full speed with the release of our EP.  With a refreshed lineup of band members and new material being written for a full length release I can't wait to see how the future of Endless Chaos plays out.

Hiss From The Moat/Misanthropy/Nuclear Blast Records/2013 CD Review

  Hiss  From  The  Moat  are  a  band  from  Italy  that  plays  a  very  blackened  form  of  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Misanthropy"  which  was  released  by  Nuclear  Blast  Records.

  The  album  starts  out  with  an  intro  which  uses  sound  effects  and  avant  garde  elements  along  with  acoustic  guitars  which  bring  in  ethnic  influences  as  well  as  grim  vocals  in the  background  and  after the  intro  they  music  goes  into  a  brutal  blackened  death  metal  along  with  blast  beats  and  growls  as  well  as  a  mixture  of  slow  and  fast  parts  which  also  leads  to  black  metal  screams  and  melody.

  As  the  album  continues  the  music  continues  its  brutal  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  along  with  some  more  modern  extreme  metal  influences  as  well  as  bringing  in  melodic  and  technical  sounding  guitar  leads  and  solos  and  on  one  song  they  mix  in  a  brief  use  of  epic  and  symphonic  elements  on  a  couple  of  songs  but  remain  brutal  all  at  the  same  time  and  on  a  couple  of  other  songs  they  bring  in  a  small  amount  of  spoken  word  parts  which  bring  a  ritualistic  feeling  to  the  recording.  

  On  this  album  Hiss  From  The  Moat  seem  to  have  a  very  perfect  mixture  for  their  music  while  the  song  is  half  black  and  death  metal  they  also  update  it  for  2013  and  also  use  a  decent  amount  of  melody  in  their  music  and  while  I  have  seen  this  band  being  labeled  as  deathcore  I  feel  that  is  very  misleading  and  the  music  is  pure  black/death  metal.

  Song  lyrics  cover  misanthropic  and  anti  christian  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  brutal  and  professional  sound  along  with  the  bass  guitars  being  mixed  down  low  in  the  mix.

   In  my  opinion  Hiss  From  the  Moat  are  a  very  great  sounding  blackened  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Conquering  Christianity"  "Misanthropy"  and  "The  Descent  From  The  throne".  8  out  of  10.

  The  album  starts  out  with  a  heavy  death  metal  sound  along  with  some  doom  and  dark sounding  melodies which  also  leads  up  to  some  melodic  guitar  solos  and  it  takes  the  music  into  a  faster  direction  along  with  blast  beats  and  blackened  death  metal  growls  as  well  as  mixing  slow  and  fast  parts  together.

  As  the  album  progresses  the  music  starts  adding  in  a  lot  more  fast,  brutal  and  blasphemous  parts  along  with  some  black  metal  screams  as  well  as  being  a  lot  more  ritualistic  and  you  can  also  hear  influences  from  70's  and  80's  metal  being  mixed  in  with  the  heavier  and  darker  aspects  of  the  record  and  the  band  stays  true  to  their  sound  and  still  after  all  these  years  still  create  true  blasphemous  satanic  metal  and  when  they  bring  in  clean  guitars  the  record  starts  having  more  of  an  occultic  feeling  to  it  and  towards  the end  of  the  album  the  bass  guitars  start  sounding  a  lot  more  powerful.

  This is  a  great  comeback  for  Acheron  and  they  show  after  all  of  these  years  that  they  can  still  create  true  satanic  black/death  metal  and  they  also  show  a  lot  of  progress  as  song  writers  as  well adding  more  than  just  anti  christian  and  satanism.

Niel Anilao/Solo Compositions/2013 EP Review

  Niel  Anilao  is  a  solo  artist  from  Florida  that  plays  a  very  progressive  and  technical  form  of  blackened  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  self  released  2013  album  "Solo  Compositions"  with  all  of  the  songs  being  recorded  in  between  2004  and  2008.

  The  album  starts  out  with  some  heavy  death  metal  guitar  riffs  and  drums  and  a  few  seconds  alter  growls  and  screams  are  added  into  the  music  along  with  some  technical  sounding  guitar  leads  shortly  after  that  and  when  the  album  goes  into  the  next  song  there  is  some  clean  guitars  which  enhance  the  progressive  nature  of  the  music.

  As  the  album  progresses  psychedelic  elements  are  added  into  the  music  as  well  as  some  blast  beats  and  there  are  also  some  instrumentals  present  on  this  record  and  on  the  4th  song  the  music  goes  into  a  black  metal  direction  while  still  keeping  around  progressive  and  death  metal  influences  and  acoustic  guitars  are  also  used  briefly  on  the  5th  song  before  going  into  a  more  brutal  death  metal  direction  on  the  next  track  before  going  into  a  more  experimental  direction  and  on  the  last  song  to  music  returns  to  a  more  brutal  direction.

  Niel  Anilao  shows  a  great  amount  of  diversity  with  his  music  and  there  is  a  mixture  of  brutal  death  metal,  progressive  and  experimental  and  this  album  is  very  hard  to  categorize  with  all  of  the  many  musical  directions  it  takes.

  Song  lyrics  cover  dark,  violent  and  humorous  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  heavy  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Niel  Anilao  plays  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  black,  death  metal,  progressive  and  experimental  music  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  solo  artist.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "An  Answer"  "Parasitic"  "Euphoric  Dissolution"  and  "No  Time  in  Eternity".  7/5  out  of  10.

2.The EP was recorded in November-December of 2012 and released on June 2013.As you see here we have a death metal sound songs like ''Dead Simple'' ''Steps to the Unknown'' and ''Temple Of Darkness''.The rest are a mix gothic and death .In the meanwhile we had some tracks and recorded some to make a full lenght album ''Question Your Existence'' I think is a different album this one if you compare these 2.Here we have gothic/death metal sound with deppressive black metal elements that makes it more melancholic and melodic.I like melodies in metal and as you see it comes in this album,I think these 2 releases are differ from each other.

3.Can you go more in depth about the lyrical topics, you cover with your music?
3.We describe the pain ,despair ,the loss of things in life that makes you a differ person than you are I think all the lyrics are emotional about things that we fear ,things we want to change and comes with dark feeling ,

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Emperor Of Myself'?
4.I was thinking how to name all this thing ,believe me it s something that caused a headache.One day I saw on my friend s page in internet these words ''Emperor Of Myself'' it was a click for me after a quick search I saw there s nothing with this name I decided to have this for our band.In the past we had a band named ''Solitaire'' and I was thinking to have this name again but I saw Emperor Of Myself on my friend page on details about his work strange uh?

5.Has the band done any live shows or is this strictly a studio project?
5.For now is studio project ,we can t stand at this time we speak in live show for 2 reasons, we need band members and it s a little difficult for independet and unsigned band as we are to make live show

6.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
6.In these days the only thing that a label makes is to promote the CD of a band ,there are so many ways with internet you can promote your music.Many albums comes out in digital format and there are many sites like bandcamp,Amazon, iTunes ,that gives an opportunity to chase the dream of every band to make their music popular.Every one can download his music of his interest for free

7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of metal?
7.It s amazing to see how things growing up very fast.Our music in the begining was private only for some friends now I see and I get messages from all over the world about our music a quick search shows our releases where they are and that gives the power we need to create more music for all the people that love metal.But here in Greece I made some contacts in blogs and on line magazines about ''Question Your Existence'' and the only thing we get is ignorance.That makes me sad people from the rest of the world have our releases on their blogs, sites etc and here there is nothingabout us if we had a colaboration with a big band I am sure they will pay attention to us

8.I know one of the band members participates in 'Floating Nowhere' can you tell us a little bit more about this musical project?
8.Floating Nowhere came in 2012 on soundcloud.I uploaded and demo track and a few days a message came from Kai Kross the track with lyrics it was ''I ll Remember'' it was very good song with the voice of Kai makes it unique after a conversation we decided to make an album with this sound gothic/rock metal mix.I think it s a good release, we haven t talk the last months we will see if it is possible to make another album now I am focus on Emperor Of Myself

9.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?
9.We are recording new songs for our new album will release in the middle of 2014 the music is complete we are in the lyrical part.I think is the best songs we ever recorded with Nick Georgiou on the quitar this time I am very excited with the progress of all this it s black/gothic death metal with great melodies I can t wait to finish.In the future I don t know how the things will turn we will stay metal

10.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
10.My influences are the old Pyogenesis I like them vey much and Paradise Lost.I like very much deppresive black metal and death metal in these days i listen Woods Of Desolation and Amon Amarth I like the atmosphere in the deppresive and the melodic death metal of Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity ,Parasite Inc,

11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?
11. I like very much airsoft and football. AEK is my love and it hurts a liitle to see in the 3rd Division but the tables have turned ,music is my main interest

12.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?
