Justabeli Interview



1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band these days?
1 - War Feres: After getting a downtime, decided to resume the activities of the band in 2014, I invited Victor Prospero to take guitarist station and Furlanetto for the battery. Finished compositions, recorded and after that the CD was released in Brazil by Mutilation Records and will be released in Sweden by the Black Lion.

2.In May you had released a new album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording and also how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
2 - War Feres: This album has been treated from the beginning as a very special thing, I wanted to do everything to stay with the best possible quality in every way. And Victor embraced this cause ... Lapidamos riff by riff, until it was in a way that would please everyone, all done with the utmost dedication. Technically speaking, the difference is remarkable at the time we recorded the "Hell War", we had no experience, mistakes that were made were not repeated in the "Cause The War Never Ends ..." But the essence remains the same, the anger and hatred when playing has not changed, only increased and continued more satanic than ever, hence the name "The GERRA NEVER ENDS ...".

3.This is the first album to be released in 7 years, can you tell us a little bit more about what has been going on during that time frame?
3 - War Feres: After the release of "Hell War" were two years playing for several states in Brazil next door and great bands like UNEARTHLY, VULCANO, CALVARY DEATH, necromancy, BYWAR, Mystifier, KRISIUM among others and opened the tour the band Polish Besatt the south of the country, but with problems in forming the band stood. Only returned in 2014, the Justabeli was one of the opening acts at the Show of Greek band ROTTING CHRIST, next to the Ocultan and Black Death.

4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the newer music?
4 - War Feres: I enjoy writing about wars and the occult.

5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Justabeli'?
5 - War Feres: Having your name originated from the junction of two Latin words, just (alongside) and beli (War), meaning thereby 'sitting by the war' (as much as being in favor, as the sup- ported , to fight in self-defense of the nation).

6.What are some of the best shows that the band ha splayed over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?
6 - War Feres: The best shows of gigs in Brazil even in São Paulo. Being on stage is like this in the war, I try to do my best to make a good show.

7.Do you have any touring or show plans for the new album?
7 - We have scheduled tours, most producers in Brazil do not give any support and the bands have to take out of pocket money to play.

8.The new album was released by both Mutilation Records and Black Lion Productions, do you feel these 2 labels have been very helpful when it comes to getting your music out there heard?

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

9 - War Feres: Yes, the acceptance of the public is being very good.

10.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that some of the band members are a part off?
10 - War Feres: As in Brazil most musicians can not live music, people leave the music to work in another profession.


11.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

11 - War Feres: I think the evolution of a band happens naturally musically speaking.

12.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
12 - War Feres: I like bands like Immortal, Dissection, Sarcophagus, Belphegor, Desaster, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Bathory, Marduk, Kreator, Sodom, Amon Amarth, Slayer and etc.

13.How would you describe your views on Satanism?
13 - War Feres: There are many views on Satanism, nowadays I see how philosophy, freedom, respect yourself, nature and the universe, but not idolize to anything, I do not believe in a God and would be the last person to say that there is, because there is no real proof that there is a God and no one has so far failed to prove to the world that there is a God. What exists are hypocritical people, Christianity is the most imaginable and at its worst corruption. The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity, it has turned every value into worthlessness, every truth into a lie, and every integrity into baseness of soul. Christianity intentions, is to make a self-contradiction, an art of self pollution, a desire to lie at all costs, an aversion and contempt for all good and honest instincts! To me that's what reflects Christianity. I call Christianity the great curse, the large inner corruption and the immortal shame of mankind ... Fucking Christ!

14.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
14 - War Feres: I want to first thank the space and valuable support, and to all who in one way or another help us in this battle endless ...

Justabeli/Cause The War Never Ends/Black Lion Productions/2015 CD Review


  Justabeli  are  a  band  from  Brazil  that  plays a  mixture  of  black,  death  and  war  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2015 album  "Cause The  War  Never  Ends"  which  was  released  by  Black  Lion  Productions.

  Air  raid  sirens  and  war  sounds  start  off  the  album  before  the  music  goes  into  a  fast  war/black  metal  direction  that  also  brings  in  a  good  mixture  of  high  pitched  screams  and  death  metal  growls  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  the  faster  sections  also  bring  in  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats.

  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  hear  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  some  of  the  tracks  also  bring  in  elements  of  Swedish  style  melodic  black  metal  and  some  of  the  more  slow  or  mid  paced  drum  beats  have  a  militant  feeling  to  them  while  some of  the  guitar  riffs  are  also  heavily  influenced by  early  90's  death  metal  and  there  is  also  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  samples,  clean  playing  and  melodic  guitar  leads  present  on the  recording   as  well  as  a  few  seconds  of  clean  singing.

  Justabeli  plays  a  style  of  war  metal  that also  mixes  in  with  a  raw  and  melodic  style  of  black  metal  as  well  as  mixing  in  a  good  amount  of  death  metal  elements to  create  a  sound  of  their  own, the  production  sounds  very  raw  and  heavy  while  the  lyrics  cover  war,  torture,  terror  and  Satanism  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Justabeli  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  war,  black  and  death  metal  and  if  you are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Soldiers  Of  Satan"  "Infected  By  Radiation"  "We  Are  The  Elite"  and  "Satan's  Whores".  8  out  of  10.
