Adversam Interview

1. Can you give us a brief history of the band!
The band was founded in 1995 by drummer Summum Algor and others.
Over time we changed many members.
In 1997 comes the first demo-tape: The Black Diamond Gates (Pagan Moon Rec.).
In 1999 the first album Animadverte, comes out (Scarlet Rec.).
In 2008 Proclama comes out for Bloodred Horizon Rec.
Now we are at work for the new album.

2. How would you describe your style of music to someone who has never heard you before!
Fast and atmospheric black metal… generally we prefer that the music speaks for us, also because we believe that our style is really original.
It’s difficult to describe, easier to listen.

3. According to your bio your band has ex members of Evol, has anyone else been in any other bands and if so what were they!
This is a mistake: we have shared the stage with Evol, but none of them was a member of Adversam.

4. I noticed there was a 9 year gap between albums what was going on at the time!
Promoting Animadverte and frequent changes of line up, it took much time; also, the realization of Proclama was quite complex.

5. Do you have any plans for any new material.
Now we're working on the creation of the next full length. As soon as the new stuff is ready, we'll enter studio.

6. What direction do you see the band going into during the future!
We hope to be able to play what we feel without compromise, and able to produce our records.
We proceed in stages: next step is to record the new album. The rest will be!

7. What were some of the best live shows that you have done and which crowds were the best or craziest.
Without doubt the best were two: we opened the concert of the Immortal in Italy for the Blizard Beast Tour in 1998,a great honor; in 2000 we played in Milan at the Binario Zero, where we received great support from the people who came there.

8. What are your influences music wise and non music wise.
Difficult to answer, because we are 6 people and everyone has their preferences in music. All we listen to black metal, but also other genres… everything that moves us!

9 What rules does Satanism, Occultism, Left Hand Path or Anti Christianity play in the bands music and lifestyle
Have a very marginal role.
Too often the black metal is associated with these issues, but black metal is not “propaganda”, it's music!
We tell ourselves through music, we do not know a better subject than this.

10 I noticed you have switched labels in between albums, will the next album be released on another label as well!
We do not know anything about this yet, though Our current label has made a great work for Us, we're truly satisfied, so we don't think a change will be.

11. What are some good books or films that you would recommend!
you can not answer this question as band!

12. What are some new bands that you are listening these days and what are some good bands that you would recommend
As said before, we're six members in Adversam and everyone of Us listens to different kinds of Music, and could recommend many bands due to own personal tastes, but we prefer not to say any name.

13. How would you describe the metal scene in Italy these days and what are some good bands that are coming out of there recently!
The scene is very fragmented.We know many Italian bands, few of them we know personally, though it is difficult to become known here.we could advise Natassievila, that is a project of Asterion and Summum Algor; in their first album Iter Lethalis (Dark Horizon Rec.) partecipated Katharos our current singer.Now they are working for the second album with Negatium Corporis. (bass-voice). For the others Italian bands, we just say that good bands know perfectly if they're good or not! as happens to any good bands, we support each other.

14. Any final words!
Thanx for your support!

15.Thanks for the interview!
