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?
First of all, we have been very busy with writing the new stuff for the forthcoming album. There are a lot of things to do, and we also had to meet our good friend Victor L. Pax in order go give him new input for his second Starwolf-novel, that will be released in December 2015, too.
2.Recently you had released an ep that contains half original songs and half covers, how would you describe the musical sound that was presented o the originals and also how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
MessengeR itself has a big variety of styles, so it may would be a little bit difficult to compare the style of the band with others. But all songs we have covered have something in common: they are filled with power and energy, emotions and a little bit of madness. These are exactly the treasures of the Captain's Loot.
3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the newer music?
Our lyrics are about our adventures as space-pirates under the flag of Captain Wolf Morgan. The whole story was written down by Victor and is true. Before this, the Sci-Fi has always been big part of our lyrics and also were the fantasy stuff and vikings.
4.The band has been around since 1990 but there was only a small amount of material released in the early years, can you tell us a little bit more about the gap between releases?
There are two different periods in the history of MessengeR. The band has started with Hard-Rock/AOR, in the new millenium we have changed that a little bit and made some demos in order to find our unique style. And to build up a great friendship, which is the most important thing to us. Then we have started the real career of MessengeR - with our first full length album "Under the Sign" up to "See You in Hell", which was released with Massacre-records, "Starwolf" and finally, "Captain's Loot".
5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Messenger'?
We are MessengeR and we are spreading our words of freedom around the galaxy.
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?
We really had a great time on our tour through europe last year, the crowd has always been amazing, no matter in which country.And no matter how small or big the club is - you can alway count on the metalheads, because they are like pure energy and we are the amplification for them. And this is what our stage-performance is like: pure energy! We have the incredible Merlin on the drums, the evil Dr. Strauss on his strings of deep science, the read-haired madman Pyro Jack on guitar, the warrior Chainmaster on the fiery solo-guitar and myself, Francis Blake, the wicked man on the microphone. We are buccaneers on the stage!
7.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?
Yes, but nothing we can tell you at this moment. For the other shows, you may feel free to have a look at our page.
8.On the new ep you had a good amount of covers, can you tell us a little bit more bout them and the decision behind doing your own versions of these songs?
Port Royal and Blackbone Song are one of the most famous pirate-metal-songs from Germany. In our novel, there is even a space-port which is called New Port Royal. For the DIO-songs, we have been asked by our label Massacre-records whether we would record two songs for a tribute-sampler. Kill the King has the power and Dont talk to Strangers has the emotion that ist very representative for our music, too.
9.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of heavy, power and speed metal?
The feedback of the metal community always had been great, we have fans in every country, which makes us very proud.
10.Are any of the band members also involved any other musical projects or bands these days?
N.A.
11.When can we expect another album and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
Our next full-length album will be released in December 2015
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?
N.A.
13.What are some of your non musical interests?
sports, history and science.
14.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
Thanks for this nice interview and thank you all for your interest. And never forget: A SPECTRE IS HAUNTING THE GALAXY...
