I started playing the guitar when I was 12 years old and started to listen to heavy metal music same time. At that time, I often listened to Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Korn (is still favorite) and etc. Then I searched many subgenre of metal music. Death Metal, Gothic Metal, Doom Metal and etc. I listened to many bands like Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy and etc. After that, I found Black Metal. I was really impressed by Black Metal, Its very fast tempo, evil voice, beautiful melody.   I used to listen to Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone and other 90s bands. I pr...

Erre de Numen Numen is a superb example of Black Metal from the Spanish Basque Country, and also a veteran band, having been around since 1997. To mark the release of their latest album, “Erre,” on Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions, I had the chance to interview them. Hello, Numen. Could you introduce yourself and tell us about your new album, “Erre”? Hi, greetings from Arrasate—Lander here. Thank you very much for having us. The new album consists of five tracks. It’s still Numen, but there’s been an evolution in technical skill and song composition. Without straying from our roots, it's aggressive, straight-ahead black metal—Numen in its purest form. As for the lyrical content, the entire album is conceptual. 'Erre' means 'To Burn', and It deals with the witch hunts carried out in Iparralde back in the early 17th century. Your songs explore the ancient beliefs of the Basque Country. Could you give us some examples of these beliefs and the rituals associate...

Black metal is fag music! Ahahah! Are you laughing? Not me! Not me! Here comes Gaylord, emperor of the Black Metal Queer who comes to entrust us with his difficult coming out of the closet in an environment not the most tolerant on this subject, and his anarchist commitment in a Black Metal cult or, whatever we say, to be right-wing or NS always passes better... So it is a courageous and exciting personality who has accepted this exchange and I thank him for it: Long live freedom ! Hi Richard ! Thank you for answering my questions ! You were playing bass in The Meads Of Asphodel under the nickname Richard The Pope. What pushed you to create Gaylord ? Hello. Thanks for having me. I joined the Meads of Asphodel for a couple years after working with JD Tait (main song writer) for a few years on other musical projects. As someone who is /very/ left and /very/ antifascist, I really do regret my time in the Meads. JD and drummer Andre are very nice down to earth guys, but Metatron ...

PLONGÉE DANS LE BLACK METAL DÉPRESSIF ET SUICIDAIRE DE SUCIDAL MADNESS Salut à vous Suicidal Madness. Vous êtes un groupe français de DSBM, ce qui n'est pas courant. Pouvez vous nous dire ce qui vous a fait plonger dans les abysses torturées de ce sous-genre ? Psycho : On ne plonge pas par hasard dans ces abysses, quelque chose nous y am è ne toujours... Un mal- ê tre profond en est bien souvent la cause. Certains s'y retrouve car ils ressentent au plus profond d'eux cette souffrance et ce d é sespoir mis en musique.

Alrinack   : Comme le dit Psycho, on ne choisit pas de «  sombrer   » dans ces abysses … Une cause, un é v é nement, est toujours à la base du cheminement   ! Une accumulation de douleurs psychiques, physiques qui appellent à l ’ ailleurs   ! La musique, part...

LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY IS THE EXTREMIEST BAND EVER Last Days of Humanity is the most extreme band ever ! They did a kind of Goregrind splitted with Noise and extreme speed that no one can beat. The good news is that the guys are back ! The bad news ? Your ears will bleed ! Interview with the band ! (the interview was realised in October 2018) Last days of Humanity was created in 1989 in the city of Volkel, Nederlands by you and Erwin de Wit. The band had a lot of lineup changes after that, but you will be the pillar of the band.

And can you tell us more about your formation ? The bands you were listening to ? At that time we were listening to all kinds of extreme music, from 7 minutes of nausea, Agathocles, Fear of God to Morbid Angel, Dark angel, Slayer, Sodom, Kreator. As you see from noise, grindcore to ...

DEGENERESCENCE Hélas ! Je n'étais pas fait pour cette Haine 2020 FEU FOLLET PRODUCTIONS DSBM Underground Hélas ! Je n'étais pas fait pour cette haine... by Dëgénéréscence On reste dans l'under le plus pur avec Dégénérescence et son Black Metal mélancolique, poétique et cru à la fois...Un premier album à ne pas rater ! Tout commence par un titre lent et étrange, "Hélas je n'étais pas fait pour cette haine"...Etonnant assortiment de guitares shoegaze/coldwave et de voix sursaturée sur un tempo lent à la Burzum. Une mélodie entêtante, une douleur romantique proche du DSBM, avec lequel Degenerescence flirte souvent. Voici posées les bases du style du groupe : des textes poétiques (fort beaux d'ailleurs et reproduit dans le très beau digipack du cd), une musique lente et mélancolique, un chant arraché et écorché. On pense parfois a certaines prods de Sale Freux, mais sans non plus que ce soit similaire.  L'oeuvre du sieur Infämie s'inscrit bien dans une...

AlNamrood is an Arabian oriented band focus on controversial topics, involve religious regimes, social injustice, authority oppression, freedom and modern slavery, classism, laws brutality and religion as a control tool. These topics brought by an intensive, heavy, harsh and punchy music. What is the signification of your name ? Nimrod ? Icon of defiance, religion defiance. You play anti-islamic BM in Saoudi Arabia. What is your situation today ? Do you still risking your life ? Of course, needless to say, it is extremely dangerous, as we keep very low profile and limit our social interactions. The country is moving toward police Islamic state and freedom of expression is getting worse than before. As it is known, our music is consider a crime in our country, which we find absurd. ...
