1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording and release of the new ep?
Eosphorus: There was the arrival of a new member to the band, Azatoth who will be our new bassist, We've been distributing our cds, we've gotten some reviews and we're negotiating our next concert dates.
2.A few months back you had released a new ep, musically how does it differ from your past releases?
Eosphorus: I think the variety of musical influences the band has today is wider, we are also more satisfied with our new compositions and with all the sound production work and the visual art of the EP.
3.From 2008 to 2022 there was no new music being released, can you tell us a little bit more about what was going on during that time frame?
Eosphorus: We played some shows during this period, we created some songs but we didn't get to release them, in 2020 we decided to focus more on recording new material.
4.A lot you your lyrics show some inspiration from the writings of Crowley and Spare and also go into other realms of the occult such as the Left Hand Path and Necromancy, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the dark arts?
Eosphorus: I have been interested in various spiritual e magickal paths, in the last 20 years I have read many books, and applied it in my daily life, in my spiritual development.
My favorite authors and main sources of inspiration for my lyrics and for my personal life are: Michael W. Ford, Kenneth Grant, Anton Lavey, Aleister Crowley, Arthur Edward Waite, Austin Osman Spare, H.P.Blavatsky, Eliphas Levi and many others.
5.I know that the bands name comes from the Tupi Guarani people, do you also have an interest in their culture and mythology?
Eosphorus: Yes, I am fascinated by the beliefs and culture of many indigenous peoples in Latin America, I also think about the possibility of writing lyrics about these ancient pagan cults in the future.
6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the ep cover?
Eosphorus: The Art was developed by Rubens Snitram from Azoth Artwork, the initial idea was that he would give his vision of the concepts of our lyrics in this EP, he did a memorable job.
7.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?
Eosphorus: All the concerts we've played so far have been very satisfying for us. What we're looking for is the experience of the concert, which is similar to a ritual, which has a whole magical and sinister atmosphere in this musical and spiritual celebration.
8.Do you have any touring or show plans for 2023?
Eosphorus: We don't have any dates scheduled for this year, but there is a possibility that we will play some shows in 2023.

Eosphorus: They are one of the best death metal bands in the world In my opinion, and Diego Murray is our longtime friend and an amazing Guitar Player/Vocalist. I recommend it to all fans of Death Metal giants like: Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Deicide, Krisiun, and others.
10.Currently the band is unsigned but has worked with a label in the past, are you open to working with another label again in the future?

Eosphorus: It's been really good, better than I expected to be honest, we're very pleased with the response of our new EP.

Eosphorus: We want to release our first full album until 2024, we will continue with our proposal to play death/black metal with influences from bands of the 80s/90s, but we want to evolve more and more in bringing elements from other metal styles as well, and of course writing lyrics about our spiritual/magickal path.
