Call Of The Red Forest Interview

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the musical project?



Call Of The Red Forest is a One Man Black Metal Band from Thessaloniki Greece. I’ve created this Black Metal band because i love this music genre (Black Metal) since I was young.I have always loved the dark music and I always want to take out the darkness I have inside of me.Call Of The Red Forest is my dark side.



2.So far you have released 2 ep's. musically how do they both differ from each other?



For  my music I want to stay always to the same path (old school black metal)

And always want to add my own details.So I did both of my ep’s with this philosophy.



3.So far all of the music has been instrumental, are you open to using any vocals on future releases/



I like my music as it is and I don’t want to use any vocals in the future.From the first day i created this Band was instrumental and I would like to stay this way.



4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Call Of The Red Forest'?



This is a good question.
In my Darkest days I have a place in my mind to go and forget my problems and helps me to relax.This place is a big dark and red forest,Also when i listen to Black Metal some times I travel to  this place and i am thinking.



5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new ep cover?



The artwork of my new Ep is a real photo and shows the dawn between the mountains.Of course I love the beauty of nature it is an inspiration for me.

When i look the mountains it  helps me to think more clearly.
Also the nature hides a lot of darkness and you must be able to see it sometimes.



6.On the recording you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with other musicians or do you prefer to work solo?



I love to work alone and I don’t want to have a new member in my band.
In the past I was playing in many bands with many members but for this  band and on this path I want to be alone.



7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?



I want to make music mostly for me. In my opinion musician should make music for their own need and then for money.If you love to play music and you make money from it there's no problem at all. That's why i don't search for any company at the moment, because i make music for my own self.





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



Black Metal fans tells me that they like my music because is different from other Black Metal bands.these words makes me very happy and helps me to going ahead.
