Ars Aurea Mortis de MASCHARAT Silentium est aureum Bonjour Mascharat ! Vous êtes un groupe franco-italien de Black metal porté sur la littérature et l'occultisme. Pouvez-vous nous en dire un peu plus sur vous ? Salut Pierre ! Merci beaucoup pour l'intérêt que vous consacrez à notre projet. Mascharat nait à Milan en 2010. L'idée de départ était de créer un groupe de black metal inspiré aux masques, et plus particulièrement aux masques de la tradition italienne (vénitienne, mais pas seulement) et au le carnaval. Le masque, avec son histoire et sa symbolique, nous a toujours fascinés non seulement en tant qu’objet, mais plus précisément par sa valeur symbole et rituelle, en rapport avec des thématiques que nous essayons d'évoquer dans nos projets, dont notamment l'occultisme (littéralement l’étude des choses « cachées »), la religion et la philosophie. Au-delà de nos goûts musicaux personnels, le black metal nous a semblé être la solution idéale pour...

Thrym Mørktår Plagued By This Hagridden Life de MØRKTÅR Hail Thrym ! Mørktår has been around since 2006 and has released many split albums,  like many underground projects, and now here comes only the band's second album. Can you  tell us the story behind it? Hails Pierre! Yes, the story behind Mørktår is indeed, we have been around since 2006. It started as a solo project  with a couple of demos recorded between then and 2008, but I destroyed them, not even I have the  copies. In sometime in 2008, I found a drummer and we released the demo -‘Cries From The  Dungeon.’All were handmade CD-Rs with home printed artwork. After that, he decided to leave  from reasons I will not speak about. After this, I made a few demos as a solo project again. There was ‘Reaped by Death,’ ‘Fra Dette  Mørk...’ (Yes it was a spelling and grammar mistake.) There was also a split called ‘Spells of  Foresight Predict Our Paradise’ in which I contributed 4 tracks. The rele...

Instant Of Extreme Vulnerability de AFORGOMON Hello Aforgomon ! You come from Kazakhstan and play atmospheric, depressive black metal . Can you tell us a little more about how the project came about? Salute. The Aforgomon project emerged quite a while ago, and it so happened that I didn't particularly want to pursue it. When it first emerged, other projects in other genres were my top priorities, and Aforgomon was supposed to remain the project I'd pursue later. But everything turned out the other way around; Aforgomon is so far the only project that has seen the light of day. It has undergone several renamings and many changes. To be honest, this is the project for which I wrote the material rather chaotically and did not bring its idea and concept to completion. Every time I intended to release an album, I caught myself thinking that this was not the result I was pursuing. And that delay probably worked out for the best, because by finally releasing my first album—which I ...
