Madness Of The Night Interview

  Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have 
never heard of you before?


    Madness of the Night is Daniel Dante (music) and Abir Blackshadow 
(vocal). We started after a long time in silence, we had other projects
and bands together. We are also married so had a break to concentrate on 
our children. Then later we started again to make music from 2  3 years
ago. We got very good responses and the result became Madness of the 
Night. And after 3 years of hard work we released our album The Asgarda
via Massacre Record.


    2.How would you describe your musical sound?

    Our influences are much from the 80Žs and 90Žs gothic rock, dark 
wave, punk rock scene. The sound is kind of heavy, especially the 
guitars. Some describe us as gothic metal and others just gothic rock. 
However sometimes music needs to be label so then we normally say a 
heavier version of traditional gothic rock.


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

    Alot of things are coming from real stories like wars, domestic 
wars in Lebanon. We made a song called "State of Madness", dedicated to
a maid who committed suicide in Lebanon after she was dragged on the 
streets by men. There is also feminism. Empowering women with songs like 
Oppression, against religious and cultural suppression of women. Stand 
up is very political against politicans, for a revolution inside the 
human. Voices Of The People is a song also against wars and violence. We 
are the gothrockers and we don't care is about bullying against Goths. 
Jävla Zigenare is against racism of gypsies in Scandanivia. Terrorroom 
is a song of helpness of a little girl when she lived in Lebanon, it is
mainly a song about controlling fathers and a cruel male society that 
pushes down women into a cycle of violence and terror in the name of 
religion, culture and extreme patriarchy society in the Middle East. She 
is a Demon is a woman who transforms in the night to kill a man that 
abused her, it is also a feminist song. Also, the word demon in the 
Middle East is used against women, it also means a whore. The demon in 
Arabic is Shaytan. So the Shaytan (woman) is usually associated with a 
whore woman.
    Abir :"I used the word demon. I don't like to describe any woman 
with the word whore, it is not in my dictionary nor my world this word.
I'm trying to empower women and not bring them down. Asgarda also means
a warrior taken from the Scandanivian Asgard location and mythology. The 
Asgarda is a female warrior, also an inspiration from Ukraine Asgarda. 
She challenges patriarchy especially in the Middle East and sometimes in 
the west.



4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Madness Of the Night?

We were thinking of a name and Abir suddenly said the name have to be in 
some kind of madness. Since we record music during night. It become 
Madness of the Night. It is also about Abir who is Bipolar, something 
she is not ashamed to speak about. Bipolar creativity have became part 
of Madness Of The Night.



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

We never had our first live performance yet, but we have ideas and 
thinking of to put something together. We might have support from other
bands to help us play live on our first shows. And it is an idea we are
working on. Until we bring in more members to the band.


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

We have got many requests to play live. Like we said in the answer 
before this, we need to set a lineup for Madness of the Night.


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

We felt that we got very good response from people all over the world 
and not only within them who listen to gothic rock. Our record The 
Asgarda has got some pretty good reviews from metal zines too. We think
our music is for everyone.


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

Daniel got another project call Lithos Sarcophagos, working on an EP. 
That project is a darker and based on traditional gothic rock with some
influence of black metal. The songs are still at the demo stage, so 
maybe Abir might join and put some her opera singing or aggressive thick 
vocals on some songs.


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

We think we found our style in a way, but we makes what comes through 
us. We have already made some new songs and we like catch new 
influences. However, our love for the traditional gothic rock have been
there for the past 20 years, and thats how we met each others, so we 
might keep that influence in the future as well. We have just released 
our debut record The Asgarda wordwide via Massacre Records. We wish it 
goes well and this record will help us to finance our coming releases.

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

Some bands we like, then we need to mention The Sisters of Mercy, Dead 
Can Dance ect. Course we take inspiration on what we are listen to. 
However, Daniel also have a passion for dark metal and some punk rock. 
Abir take much inspiration from Arabic classical singers like Majida El
Roumi, Fairuz and other singers like Lisa Gerrald.


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

We got a family together, so we spend a lot of time with our kids. We 
like the forests, to walk. Daniel got a passion in photography, but that 
is his work beside the music. Abir is interested in feminism and C++ 
programming, she loves working on building new projects.


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

Thank you for taking time to make this interview with us. If anyone is 
interested in to listen to our music you can find the opening track 
(Oppression) at our website and a pre listening app where you can hear 
parts of all The Asgarda and of course buy the music for the support.

Nigromante Interview

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

I am A.M. guitar and singer in Nigromante is an old-school Dark Heavy Metal band trying to get back the true Heavy Metal spirit, not just trying to copy a specific band, we are into getting our own sound from our influences that include bands from the 70s, NWOBHM, US Metal, early Thrash and Black Metal.

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

Guitar riffs are the key, all the songs come from guitar riffs, that’s what Heavy Metal is about since Black Sabbath invented it. We are playing a Raw and Dark Heavy Metal with aggresive vocals, the production gets and old-schoool vibe that will make any metalhead enjoy the album.

3.The lyrics cover Satanism and Occult topics, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in these topics?

We are interested in the figure of Satan or other Gods and Black Magic as the only possible way for a world that can’t find solutions through their old and decadent Gods.

4.The band has been around for 10 years but are now finally getting ready to release the first full length album, what was the cause of the delays?

The band started as a five piece band in 2003 singing in Spanish and now we are a three piece band singing in English which can tell you how many line-up changes we have gone through, I am the only member that remains from those days. We were active until 2007, and then I was alone in the band and needed some time to restart.

It wasn’t until 2009 that I decided to get J.S. on the drums and start to prepare for recording a full-length album. When we started to choose the songs, change lyrics to English and writing some new ones the main goal was getting our personal style and that’s not something you get in two days… we are not another band trying to copy “Iron Maiden” or any other “NWOBHM band” or “Black Sabbath”… like most are doing today.

Now we feel that the band can start working non-stop to take our message as far as we can to bring back the Heavy Metal Age!

5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Nigromante?

Nigromante is the Spanish word for Necromancer, Nigromante will summon all metalheads to raise against an unjust system and lead us to the Metal Age. The name in English has been used before by Extreme Metal bands so we preferred to keep the Spanish word.

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

In 10 years we have been playing a lot in Spain but in the last year I would remark the Black Magic Night III festival supporting Pagan Altar, there was some real magic there… Our stage performance is a power trio approach, we play as wild as we can everynight.

7.Do you have any touring or show plans once the album is out?

We are booking dates in Spain and trying to make a European tour together with another band. Anyone interested in booking the band can feel free to contact us.

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

The album isn’t still out, but after uploading three songs we are getting great feedback from everywhere, specially loving the vocals. We are also getting a lot of  feedback from people in Spain about the new songs in English, our old demos were in Spanish and they are loving the change!

9.What is going on with the other musical projects these days?

I am singer and guitar player here, but also play bass guitar in another Heavy Metal act called Steel Horse, and we are recording the third album right now. I’ve been also recording and producing bands like Omission, Wild and Beast in the last months.

The drummer is bass player in a thrash metal band called Rancor and the live bass player is the Steel Horse guitar player… it’s funny, everyone playing different instruments than on their other bands ahahah

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

We have 5 songs written for the next album and they are following the same path of this album, 100% heavy riffin’, straight forward Dark Heavy Metal.

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

Our influences come from early NWOBHM like Angel Witch, Diamond Head, US Metal in the vein of Cirith Ungol, Manilla Road, Omen, early thrash from bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus, early Black/Extreme Metal bands like Venom, Celtic Frost and the 70s first Heavy Metal bands, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy…

Today, I have next to my stereo albums of Hell, Speedtrap, Slough Feg, Striker, Iron Curtain and Doomsword.

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

Beer? Ahahah. I’m recording engineer and music teacher so most of the time is going on music, after that I would say that riding bycicle, literature and cinema cover the rest of the time.

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

Thanks for your interest and hails to all the readers of Underground Musick Zine. Keep Metal Alive!!!

Wild Dawn Interview

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

We went on the road with great bands such as Electric Mary, Girlschool.. We played at the Hellfest. It was pretty fucking cool. And to top it all, the band has just released his second album "Pay Your Dues".

2.How would you describe the musical sound of the new album and alos how does it differ from past recordings?

"Pay Your Dues" is more "metal", more mature than the first which was more spontaneous and youthful. This probably comes from the fact that our style has evolved but also because the recording method was not the same.

We are really satisfied

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

After our tour with Electric Mary, we changed management. We were down in the dumps, but after a few weeks, we thought that we should not stop there and we started writing the album.

The topics are varied, festive, darker, but say that our shit inspired us well !

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Wild Dawn/

Nothing more than 
"hey, cool name ?" 
"cool name.." 
"ok, done"

But because the question comes up regularly, say it inspires youth, enthusiasm and wildness !

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?

Many gigs excites me but if i have to pick one of them, i'll say that Hellfest openair was absolutely awesome. Big crowd, big sound, big lights... We was impressed but just before hitting the stage, we all thought "Let's kick some ass".

Good memories and pretty big show.

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

We would love to play in Germany, it will also be very soon.

We also plan some things in canada

In general, we will try to export the band and play as more as possible.

7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of metal and rock/

I don't know, the feedback from other bands are good but I admit that I am not interested by that.

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

I don't think, unless you've been hiding things from me!

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

I really can't determine at this. I think we're refining our sound and our style. I think we found ourselves. Now we have to write. We'll see

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

Our influences are quite varied. Romain and Morgan listen much AC / DC while Alex is very focused on the 70's. Personally, I am a huge fan of Metallica and Gojira but I also love stoner bands such as Clutch, Spiritual Beggars, Corrosion of Conformity, Vista Chino ...

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

Sleep and catch up on sleep I'm missing because of Wild Dawn...

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

Excuse my english !

Thank you all for your support to the METAL!

Greg.
