Starsoup Interview

1. Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?

In fact it's mostly PR and promotion stuff we do now. We are also trying to come up with our first video script. It's kinda tough: there's no budget. We gotta think of a very good storyline. Maybe some friends will help with the camera and editing. I hope.

There's also one new song that keeps playing in my mind. Should work on it.

2.How would you describe the musical sound of the album and how does it differ from

the release you put out 2 years ago?

The songs were performed much better than 2 years ago, especially the vocal parts. Even the last few songs are a bit better than the first ones cause the album took so much time to produce. Overall, it's a classical sound from the 90's: oldschool Marshall-headed guitars, reverb'ed drums, like they did at that time. Right now what they do is more like "into your brain", heavily compressed sound which is very close to your ears. I like it too, but I want to keep the atmosphere that I once enjoyed in my favourite albums.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics the new release explores?

It's a very broad topic, really. I write about fantasy, about sci-fi, politics, even religion. Lots of emotional stuff. Love, hate, pity, envy, jealousy. Feelings inspire me. Strong feelings inspire even more. Books, movies, people too. Anything.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Starsoup?

It was a result of a very consious process. We had a few words we liked. "Soul", "star", "sky", "fall", "sun", something else. First I came up with Soulfall (I still like it!), then Starsoap. But it would sound way too funky. Starsoup is original enough :) I was a bit scared in the beginning, but I totally love it nowadays.

5.Currently this band is only a studio project, are there any plans for live shows in the future?

I very much hope so. It's gonna be hard - the musicians should be able to play well - and sing the backing vocals too. But it's doable. If the audience wants us to come somewhere, it means they like the music. So we really want our songs to spread throughout all the world and then play them live someday.

6.The new album came out on Sublimity, can you tell us a little bit more about this label?

It's a small Russian indie label. They published my first release (Distant Sun - Sunless Citadel) a year ago and I'm happy to work with them. The album will come out with a very limited number of copies - 125 cds. It's gonna have a nice booklet and all.

7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of progressive metal?

Everybody says they want more heavy songs. Too many ballads on the first album! But this has some advantages: it means I can play a few songs with just an acoustic guitar, alone. Easier to arrange a gig this way :) I didn't intend to write so many soft compositions, it just came out this way. We'll move on. People seem to like quite a few songs - "Angels", "Past Bites", "Try", "Perfect Loser". It's a good sign.

8.Are there any other musical projects going on these days?

Yeah! I'm the singer for the popular Russian speed-metal band called Shadow Host. We're about to release our fifth album and it's gonna be bombastic. Aggressive and speedy thrash metal like Overkill/Dark Empire/Persuader. I also play a huge part in another project - "Distant Sun". It's more power/thrash metal music. Fast, heavy, but melodic. Like Rage and Iron Savior. I've only released one 6-song EP yet.

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

Definitely not into more ballads :) I wanna do real progressive stuff in the future, maybe with a little hint of modern metalcore tendencies.

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

I love popular stuff: Metallica, AC/DC, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater (gotta check their new album btw). I also listen to totally different rock styles from Green Day and Good Charlotte to Killswitch Engage and In Flames. I rarely check out the new bands. I'm like stuck in the 90's.

11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?

I work in the internet business - website promotion & seo. I also teach economics (I got a PhD) - a few lectures a year. I love sports - cycling and rollerblading. But music is probably the biggest part of my life now.

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

I only hope a few mp3 files will land on somebody's hard drive after this interview :)

Stay metal!

Undecimber Interview

 1. Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?

 

We just finished recording the new album, so we are kind of high on that feeling right now. But then our drummer decided to leave the band shortly after the production was finished. He had private reasons outside of the band to quit so we parted as friends, we wish him the best of luck. The pick of a new drummer fell on Jan Zombie (no relation to Rob), previously from Feed, Phrank and Machinery. He adds a new dimension to the sound with his technical skills and we're having a blast exploring this new side of Undecimber.

 

 

2.How would you describe the musical sound of the new album and how how does it differ from the previous recording?

 

This album is much darker, and more gritty. We flirted a lot with ambient orchestral sounds on the last album, which turned out great but we wanted to make a contrast to that this time. Also, the first album was a selection of our best material at the time, which sort of turned out to be a "Best of Undecimber" album at that point. It was more a compilation of songs with no tie between them. The new album is written conceptually as an album. It is definitely a more unified production. We were also very involved in the mastering process this time, and asked the studio to go crazy on the bottom frequencies. It turned out to sound really badass.

 

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the new release explores?

 

War, definitely. We felt WW1 and WW2 has been explored to death so we decided to get into the mood of the American Civil War. We actually had a voice actor from Texas to narrate over the intro on the song Solitude to get that genuine southern drawl. The album is not a tribute to war, it's pretty much meant to be from the perspective of a dying soldier. So there's a lot of death, but that goes without saying. As a contrast to death we made the piece Beyond the Grave, a love song dedicated to the city Los Angeles. It was pretty much written in one day, at the Rainbow in Hollywood.

 

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Undecimber?

 

Undecimber is Latin, and can be roughly translated into "the thirteenth month". It was coined by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, he added two months to the year to basically squeeze more taxes out of his people. I think we were just perversely attracted to the concept of the number thirteen, Undecimber seemed mystical enough to fit as a band name. Plus, it sounds cool.

 

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

 

Definitely playing at Bar Sinister in Hollywood, LA. The crowd was crazy, and the place is so gothic it stuns you. We played at Whitby Gothic Festival in the UK a couple of times too, people there are just insane and so in tune with the show. We really love Whitby, and the fact that The Sisters of Mercy declined the offer to play the festival is just beyond me. That's just one awesome crowd they'll never have.

 

6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the touring plans for the new album?

 

We are exploring the American market since we are getting a lot of attention over there. We're probably starting off with a smaller tour on the west coast. Then we will tour Europe, the UK is still our biggest fan base and we love them back. If we got any juice left after that we might do some shows in Scandinavia, but the blood level in the alcohol system is usually pretty low at that point.

 

7.The new album came out on Downfall Records, how did you get in contact with this label and also how would you describe the support they have given you so far?

 

We were looking around for record labels at the time, Downfall Records was the one label that showed some mutual respect and didn't just speak Excel sheets. These guys are actually into music and flirted with us on our level as musicians. I'd say they had us at hello. Given the current situations with the music industry, Downfall walked that extra mile to make Undecimber heard all over the world. They take care of everything that has to do with our album, anything from promotion to distribution. Downfall Records is one of the few real record labels left.

 

8.On a  worldwide level how has the feedback been to your musci by fans of gothic and metal?

 

Our US fan base has grown a lot lately, there is something very Scandinavian in our music that makes us exotic with that crowd. Not a lot of Swedish bands manage to make themselves heard in the US so we are truly grateful that they choose to listen to Undecimber. And we always got a great response in the UK which has been a surprise. I mean, they invented goth, but they love Sweden.

 

9.Are there any other musical projects besides this band?

 

You'll probably see more of Snakes in some constellation with American musicians. We're going to leave it at that for the moment, it'll be a surprise. Jan Zombie is a wanted pro drummer and does a lot of sessions in between his duty with Undecimber. He's touring Japan a lot.

 

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

 

With our new drummer and his musical direction we're probably going to explore the industrial side of Undecimber a lot more. Like, noise industrial. Probably with more rock influenced guitars as a contrast. At one point we discussed the idea to make an album with acoustic versions of selected Undecimber tracks but we're not that kind of band really. It would probably be more fun for us than for the fans.

 

11.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your newer music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

 

People used to describe us as Rammstein meet Sisters of Mercy, which actually make a lot of sense. There are some more organic sleaze rock feel to some of the songs on the new album too. Sort of like sneaking Mick Mars into the studio while we were asleep, but it's just a flirt and nothing serious. As to what we are listening to, the beauty of Undecimber is that we listen to so vastly different styles of music in the band. And all those influences come together so perfect in Undecimber. But all in all we mostly listen to dark gloomy shit.

 

12.Outside of music what are some of your interests?

 

Mizzy is a dedicated scuba diver. Lash is a true horror fan and collects skulls and other weird shit. Jan Zombie’s only hobby seem to be playing drums. Snakes is into custom motorcycle painting. His place look like a graffiti artist had a seizure in there.

 

13.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview/

 

Check out our new album Dead Inside. And thanks for the Jack & Coke, don’t put so much coke in it next time though.

Calling Of Lorme Interview

1. Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have never 

heard of you before?

Calling of Lorme is a metal band that mainly incorporates electro and industrial sonorities. On stage, we interpret our music through a visual and theatrical show.

2.How would you describe your musical sound?

Our sound mixes the power of metal and the martiality of the industrial music thanks to the cutting edge guitar riffs and hammering drums.The electro side of samples brings about a touch of modernity, and blended with more traditional instrumentation (violin, choir ...)
created this particular universe between the old and the modern.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
Strong and recurring issues revolve around the fanaticism, feelings and human relationships. Power relationships inspire us a lot as well as everything that can bring humans to its deviances.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Calling Of Lorme?

The band's name refers directly to the physician Charles Delorme, who at the time of the Great Plague of Marseille invented the mask in the shape of bird's head, to guard against the dangers of the disease. This is a historical reference of our area and of the group's roots. The developed universe therefore follows from this
reference and this name.

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage
performance?
We have three significant dates, the first in our area, on the great scene of Jas Rod where we shared the stage with Blazing War Machine (Black Metal Indus, Fr). We also have good memories of our performance at Divan du monde, a beautiful scene of our capital, Paris. Finally, play on a stage at a festival renowned as the Metaldays (ex Metalcamp) in Slovenia completely motivated us and gave us the ambition to reproduce the experience on stages of this magnitude.In terms of our performance on stage, it goes beyond the simple interpretation of the music. We also interpret the characters from our fiction. Wearing suits go in this way and allows each musician
to enter a characteristic personage. We also try to immerse our audience in this world with a play of light that is our own.

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?
2013 was a big year for Calling of Lorme. We started to provide support for large groups (Hypno5e, AqME, Eths, Blazing War Machine) and we played at Metaldays this summer. We are back from a French tour and have recently released our first album, accompanied by a vidéo clip from a show. Currently we are in a period of reflection to develop our future projects in the best way. But the scene is one of the key issues the group and in period of album release we will not neglect to go meet our public.

7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of industrial and metal?
Generally we had a good European reception. The public during our passage in Slovenia was present and receptive. We are getting positive feedback from through the album and not just European. We note that public besides the Atlantic Ocean is also interested in our music. But the album comes out on November 4 and it is still early to know our real impact outside France.

8.Are there any other musical projects besides this band?
All of us have our different centers of interest in which we operate elsewhere, but musically Calling of Lorme
remains for the moment our main center of interest.

9.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?
Making our music more personal, away of the exercise in style "Metal Indus" trying to refresh it in our way while keeping what makes its strength and footprint. And this without forgetting our own identity that we learned to develop and which we would like to highlight.

10.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also, what are you listening to
nowadays?
Each member has their own influences and musical history. The compositions come from Dorian, our drummer, so our music mainly result of his own influences. But we can see that the personalities of each musicians feed his writing and this is how the influences of each can also be revealed.Together we have a very big playlist but to be fast this recent times Jo, our bassist, is listening in loop the last album “Asa” of Falkenbach, Seth, our guitarist, musics of Shaka Ponk and Kavinsky, JY has found since our last tour a passion for the Hardtech music, and Dorian listen diferent bands like Hopes Die Last, Die Antwoord and Knife Party.

11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?
To make it simple we love cinema, the series, video games, graphic design, drawing and traveling.

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