Deceive Interview


1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording and release of the new ep?
1. Well people seem to be responding very well to the EP, which we're very happy about, and we appreciate all the kind words!

2.Recently you have released a new ep, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording and also how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
2.the EP definitely falls under Black/Death metal, on the more technical side. Its definitely a product of all of our own individual styles coming together.

3.The band originally was more of a death/thrash band in the beginning but have evolved into more of black/death metal direction over the years, what was the decision behind going into a different musical style?
3. The change in musical style definitely was a necessary thing for us to do. The line up at the time was very split. One side wanting to play more traditional thrash, and the other side wanted to play Death metal, eventually we split with 2 of the members, relocated to Covina, and now we're doing better than ever musically, and internally as a cohesive unit.

4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
4. We have a loose storyline, involving all kinds of crazy shit. Think Conan the Barbarian, meets Army of Darkness, with the Labyrinth thrown in hahah.

5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Deceive'?
 5. When the original line up of the band came together,  we had 4 songs, and we played a show literally 2 days after forming, and we still had no idea what to name ourselves. I think I was watching a movie or something,  and they said "Deceive". It stuck out to me for some reason, and there were no other metal bands around with that name. I messed around with logo ideas, and eventually we all agreed on Deceive. .

6.What are some of the best shows that the band has played over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?
6. Hard to say honestly! We've played alot of awesome shows, but definitely every time we play the bay area we end up having a great time. Alot of great friends and bands up there. So the bay area shows, and definitely the time we played with Gigan, Pyrrhon,  and Artificial Brain at the Complex in Glendale.  That shit was fun.

7.Do you have any touring or show plans for the new ep?
7. Nothing as far as touring goes yet. However we will be playing with Incantation and Funerus at the Airliner in Los Angeles on January 17th. And we were lucky enough to get a slot on 2015's California deathfest,  from the guys who throw MDF. That line up is so ridiculously amazing. Alot of bands I've listened to and looked up to for years.

8.The band was signed to Infinite Regress Records for a while, what happened with that label and contract?
8. Lindon and Steve from Infinite Regress Records are awesome as fuck, and they really took good care of us. Unfortunately the label couldn't financially go on, so they had to close shop. I think you can still order their remaining back stock of IRR releases though. But yeah its a shame too, because there were some absolutely fantastic bands on that roster.

9.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of black and death metal?
9. So far people seem to really be be responding well to the new EP! Everyone that's given us feedback has told us positive things, so we're really thankful that everyone Is enjoying the music!

10.When can we expect a full length album and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
10. Hard to say when we'll be doing a full length. We'd definitely like to have a solid label backing us with distribution and such. And we're in the market,  so hit us up! Hahah. But musically, we'll definitely keep trying to push our brand of Blackened Death Metal, and progressing together as a band to really ensure that we're putting out the best music we possibly can!

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your newer music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
11.we're all pretty open minded when it comes to what we listen to, but the bands that come to mind would be stuff like Suffocation,  Dissection, The Black Dahlia Murder,  Necrophobic, etc.

12.What are some of your non musical interests?
12. Chicken Wings, THC, Being ridiculous,  beer, Vietnamese soup, etc.

13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
13. Thanks for asking us to do this interview! And thanks to everyone who's reading this!
Keep supporting extreme metal!

  A  very  heavy  and  melodic old  school  metal  sound  starts  off  the  ep  before  adding  in  a  powerful  sounding  bass  guitar  along  with  blast  beats  and  screaming  vocals  which  are  more  in  an  80's  direction  that  take  the  music  into  more  of  a  blackened  thrash  metal  direction and  the solos  and  leads  the  band  brings  into  the  songs  are  also  in  an  old  school  extreme  metal  direction.

Synergic Ire interview


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

We are music obsessed people, from the mountains of Tennessee that compose music for pariahs, loners, and/or the socially awkward.

2.So far you have released 2 albums, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on both of the recordings and also how do they differ from each other?

The first album was purely revenge driven and served as a platform for us to express our feelings regarding the fall of our previous band. We were oppressed under a very specific sound in that group, so Cody and
I (Derek) made a pact that we would never stick with one specific genre. We got together and wrote the album in almost one week, from scratch. It ended up being a weird mix of blackened death-metal and
experimental randomness. After it came out, we decided to calm down, try to improve our story telling skills, and continue to push our abilities to their limits. The second album ended up sounding like an atmospheric and romantic death metal opus that everyone labeled "deathcore". Haha. Oh well... you can't win them all.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?

We rely heavily on the concepts of contrasting perspectives, social archetypes, and mental illnesses.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Synergic Ire'?

When we started the project we wanted a name that would apply on multiple levels. It can either be seen as synergy between the music and audience, who all express or feel ire...or synergy between band
members expressing or feeling ire...

5.Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you planning on expanding the line up in the future or do you chose to remain a duo?

The thing about living in the middle of nowhere is that there are no people. Haha. At this point we are actively looking to find two more suitable members. Until then, we are making due as a two piece.

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

Our first show was my personal favorite, people responded really well. Energy and accuracy are all you have as a two man project live. We have major plans and are still working to improve our liveexperience... but we haven't had a complaint yet!

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

At the moment, we are open to playing a show if we are invited, but there are not a lot of venue options in our area. If we find more members, touring is the ultimate goal.

8.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?

We are proudly independent. If a label comes along, they would have to let us continue to produce our own music in order to get a deal out of us. At the moment, no one has shown interest.

9.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of black and death metal?

Most of our audience is over-seas, but the response is overwhelmingly positive. No one is harder on us than us. We do not like the "deathcore" label, but the response from that community has been very interesting.

10.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that the band members are a part of?

We dip our toes into other projects from time to time, but we always come back to Synergic Ire. It's our love and addiction.

11.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

We have already written an hour long ballet of black metal, weird noises, and acoustic experimentation. We have never pushed ourselves this hard in songwriting, production, and playing ability. We are
going to hold off on releasing it for a while, to make sure it isperfect. Late 2015, maybe.

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

We pride ourselves on not sounding like another band. If something sounds similar, it is by accident. We kill any riff or beat immediately if it sounds familiar. As far as listening... we both listen to different styles of music. Cody is always jamming 70s prog rock, guitar driven metal, and chill music... while I listen to obnoxiously toned metal, depressing bluegrass, and anything weird... but we both like technically driven bands, like: Immortal, Mastodon,Pink Floyd, etc.

13.What are some of your non musical interests?

Music really is mostly what we care about. I suppose Cody is into fitness and bettering himself, and i'm into eating and complaining. Haha.

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

Thanks to all who care, and we appreciate anyone actively giving a fuck about us.

In 3 words: Scenic Wild Show



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

We'll play the 29 november, 12 and13th December for the release of the split. We took the decision to stop touring for the moment to focus on the composition and cloture our first full length album and others releases.



7.Recently you where a part of a split, what are your thoughts on the other bands that have participated on the album?

Inspired by our songs for this split and great  We have shared the scene in Krakow with Fleshworld and it was great.

8.So far you have worked for Unquiet Records and Sell Your Soul Records, do you feel these 2 labels have been very helpful when it comes to getting your music out there heard?
We thought about getting our music on theses 2 labels and for the moments it was cool. We have some others propositions from others labels but for the moment we stays here. To be continued next year...

9.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your recordings by fans of underground music?

As we said, we have some songs to records for the futur LP ...
Some people are very impressed by our music mixing some style and now fans just waiting more to listen in material or digital, not just in live.

10.When can we expect a full length album and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

 We'll stay with of our different members influences, maybe more punk...

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

we come from some different scene and past bands but for all:

  Solos  and  leads  when  they  are  used  bring  in  a  melodic  side  of  the  bands  musical  style  which  is  also  a  good  part  of  the  riffs  at  times  and  you  can  hear  some  atmospheric  elements  in  the  background  in  certain  parts  of  the  recording  along  with  a  decent  amount  of  keyboards  and  some  of  the  tracks  also  bring  in  a  small  amount  of  black  metal  screams  and  you  can  hear  clean  playing  being  utilized  briefly  on  some  of  the  tracks  as  the  album  progresses.

  Spoken  word  parts  can  be  heard  on  a  great  amount  of  the  tracks  along  with  the  band  bringing  in  a  heavy  deathcore  influence  as  we  get  more  into  the  album  and  on  one  of  the  alter  tracks  a  brief  use  of  female  vocals  are  added  onto  the  recording  and  the  music  also  brings  in  more  of  a  technical  side  of  the  leads  and  the  music  gets  more  diverse  with  each  track  along  with  a  few  songs  that  are  long  and  epic  in  length  and  towards  the  end  clean  singing  male  vocals  are  brought  onto  the  recording.

  Synergic  Ire  plays  a  very  original  style   that  is  mostly  in  a  blackened  death  metal  direction  but  also  brings  in  deathcore  style  breakdowns  and  the  more  experimental  and  progressive  side  of  black  metal  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  heavy  for  being  a  self  released  recording  while  the  lyrics  cover  how  mental illness  was  dealt  with  in  early  civilizations  and  the  adolescence  of  an  Empath.

  In  my  opinion  Synergic  Ire  are  a  very  great  sounding  atmospheric,  blackened  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Psychogenic  Necromancy"  "Ever  Thus,  Xenoself"  and  "Post-Obitum  Delusions".  8  out  of  10.
