Anon Interview

 

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

Writing of the material started at the end of 2021 while I was in another black metal band. The band was doing multiple of shows a month and I joined as the new guitarist, intending to write for their next album. I felt that my material was a lot darker, misanthropic and less friendly than the black metal that they were playing. Soon after that band disbanded suddenly, I attempted to revive my old band Inhibitor. Although that was promising, once again the material felt a lot different to the previous Inhibitor release, and although I appreciated the contributions of my bandmates, the original aim and goal of the material was being lost. I had trouble finding a second guitarist, drummer and vocalist that shared my views and so I decided to go solo and write all the parts in line with the vision that I had. Anon was born. 

2.In July you had released your first full length, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?

I intended to produce something similar to the music I was listening to at the time. Lots of Mgla, Batushka, Groza, Totalselfhatred, as well as depressive black metal such as None, My Useless Life, and Useless. I wanted something dark and full of hatred that still had a wall of noise that could be played live with intensity. 

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects you have explored so far with the music?

The lyrics are open to personal interpretation; however, they broadly cover loss of hope, misanthropy and the collective suffering of humanity. Humans do terrible things to one another; however I am human, you are human. It is so easy to say that we wouldn’t do terrible things, but it is in our nature. Although Anon is a solo band, all the lyrics refer to ‘us’, ‘our’ and ‘we’. One faceless nobody commenting on our collective condition.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Anon'?

As with most black metal, the artist is separate from the individual. Anon is the dark side of our beings, the shadow, the unconscious part under the mask that lurks when we are on the wrong side of oppression or mistreatment. But even when we are the ones oppressing others, it stirs. Nameless, faceless, expressionless. 

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

The artwork represents the multiple masks that we all wear. What mask shall I wear today. What mask is everyone else wearing. How can we be sure what is truly underneath.

6.With this project you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with other musicians or do you prefer to work solo?

The band is intended to be played live, so I will be looking for session musicians to perform. I have worked with other musicians in the past, but when I truly have a vision of the final product, I find it hard to express exactly what I mean unless I do it myself, as I do not think about the riffs but the songs as a whole. In the beginning, I attempted to work with previous bandmates on the project, however I felt that they acted as a middleman to my vision and the original ideas were being lost. Even when working with my producer, it was incredibly difficult for him to make small changes as I would often need weeks of listening to the new versions of the songs before I could give the go ahead.  

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

I have had discussions with labels before I released the album, but I was hesitant to share the material until it was in its final polished form. As I had come this far on my own, I decided to release on my own as well. Going forward I will be looking for a label that aligns with my ideas.

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

The album has been received well, which is a bonus. I feel what I have released matches my original idea and sound. The album is varied at times, often slow and drawing from DSBM and often fast and repetitive like Polish black metal. Fans of both types of black metal seem to connect with different parts and they seem to appreciate that it isn’t 45 minutes of constant blast beats, or muffled wails over a squeaky guitar recorded in a basement with programmed drums. At this point I intend to get as many ears as possible on the tracks, which will aid me when writing and recording future releases.

9.Do you have any experience playing in other bands or musical projects?

I have played in several black metal bands and various other metal bands in the past. I released a project called Inhibitor, in which I handled guitars and drums. I never considered myself a vocalist, so B. handled vocals, lyrics and bass. Occasionally there are riffs scattered throughout that record that resemble Anon, although they were truly in their infancy at that time. We did not have a lot of experience with recording and producing, but the record represented us at the time. Anon is the culmination of a decade and a half of listening to black metal and my progression as a musician. It sounds like the type of black metal that I listen to these days, and I am glad that I was able to produce a record that matches the ideas that I have.

10.Where do you see yourself heading into as a musician during the future?

Anon will continue. The second full length has been fully written, and I will return to recording shortly. Going forward Anon will take to the stage and be open to touring interstate and if the opportunity presents itself, internationally. A solo band with session musicians gives a lot of freedom of movement. I would not rule out other members joining Anon on a full-time basis if our writing styles match. As an individual, I would be open to joining another black metal band as a guitarist and keep Anon as my own project with multiple releases. 

11.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?

At the time of writing The End of Innocence, Mgla, Behexen, Drudkh and Psychonaut 4, as well as the others mentioned above. I also listen to a lot of DSBM and blackgaze. Nocturnal Depression, Austere, Thy Light, Silencer, Dreariness, Bleak, Oathbreaker and Amesoeurs. Anything that has substance, raw emotion and intensity. Australian bands such as Deadspace, Woewarden, and if it’s not black metal, bands like Earth Rot, Acid Bath, Amenra and Dragged Into Sunlight.

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

A thank you to all those who have pre ordered the digipak CD and shown support. Merch will be coming soon, including a shirt, hoodie and patches. A Vinyl release may be down the line as well. 

Thank you to Occult Black Metal Zine and stay tuned for the second album. Expect a sound that is matured, developed and full of intensity.

  Her  side  of t he  split  starts  out  with  some  dungeon  synth  style  synths  before  going  into  a  heavier  musical  direction.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  while  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  decent  amount  of  melody  along  with  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  adding  in  some  blast  beats  as  well  as  the  tremolo  picking  in  the  faster  riffing  also  giving  the  music  more of  a  raw  feeling  when  they  are utilized.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  and  the  lyrics  cover  the  deepest  parts  of  the  seas.

  A  very  fast  and  raw  sound  starts  off  the  album  along  with  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats.   All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  while  the  songs  also  add  in  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  melodies  can  also b e  heard  ins  some  of  the  guitar  riffing.

  Moray  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  post  black  and  thrash  metal  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  his  own.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  a  story  woven  through  drawings  on  paper,  a  solar  eclipse,  the  printing  press,  dreams  of  a  dying  artist,  the  birth  of  a  litter  of  cats,  a  religious  man's  crops  dying,  empty  night  skies  and  the  lives  held  beneath  them.

Eerie Interview

 

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

Hi and thanks for the interview first of all.

Eerie was born out of the need to create something of Black Metal, since it is one of my favorite genres, I had been trying to do something with other members for a long time, but due to the lack of time and formality of the people, I finally decided to create the project alone.

2.So far you have released a demo and 2 full lengths, musically how do they all differ form each other?

I think that from the first album "End Of An Era" to this second "The Delirium Of The Believers" it has evolved a bit and is more elaborate compositionally speaking, the production is also better, in "End Of An Era" I wanted to make it more raw, but for "The Delirium Of The Believers" I decided to work more on the mixes and the master and look for a more solid sound. It is the advantage of recording, mixing and mastering yourself, you can find your own sound and have your own identity.

3.Most of your other musical projects are death metal while you go for  more of a black metal direction with this project, how would you compare the 2 different genres?

The other bands I play in (Encephalic, Inhuman Depravation, Abandonment, With All My Hate, Deceit, Catastrophic Evolution,...) are Brutal Death except for Deceit which is Grind/Death and With All My Hate which over time of the years and four albums it became practically Blackened.

The genres have absolutely nothing to do with it, but since they are genres that I like and I don't close myself off when it comes to composing...

It's the good thing that you like different genres and be versatile, not sticking to a single form and genre when composing.

4.A lot of your lyrics cover Anti Christianity themes, can you tell us a little bit more about your hatred for this religion?

I´m an atheist and I do not believe in any god or in any religion, but in the name of God the greatest atrocities in history have been committed, murders, robberies, rapes, ... and therefore I declare myself anti-Christian

5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Eerie'?

I'm an atheist, I don't believe in anything, nor does it suit me, so I wasn't going to give a demon name or something related to Satanism, it had to be something mysterious and dark, and I think Eerie is perfect for the band and there was no other band with that name, or so I thought, but I was wrong, when "End Of An Era" was released I realized that there was another Black Metal band with the same name, I think it's Polish, but the album was already on the market, the logo had already been done a year ago and I was not going to change it, so I decided to continue as Eerie

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

The cover of "The Delirium Of The Believers" was made by the artist Manolo GV, a childhood acquaintance and a great musician, on some occasion I had proposed to do one of my covers and the time came.

As the name itself indicates, believers reach a point of delirium that they flog themselves,

immolate, kill in the name of their god, ...

I wanted Manolo to reflect it, appearing a temple in ruins with some dark trees and believers committing suicide, that some were seen hanging themselves, the rest was up to him, I left him total freedom and I am very happy with the result, the cd layout and the logo they're my thing like Art Dystopia.

7.With this project you record everything by yourself but have worked with musicians in other projects, do you prefer to work solo?

It's not about whether or not I want to work alone, it's that I have no other choice, in my city there are very few extreme metal musicians and none of Black Metal, I would have to work with musicians from other cities or countries like I do with others. projects that I have, but it is still difficult to find committed musicians with time.

And perhaps since I've been having solo projects for more than ten years now, I've settled in, not having to put up with anyone and having total freedom when composing is an advantage.

In my case I take charge of everything, composition, recording, mixing, mastering, design, videos, lyric video, promotion (although in this case Blood Fire Death is taking charge) I also do cover art (graphic design), but I prefer that make them cartoonists, I like them better.

I prefer to work alone? No, but I have been forced to do it and in the end, inevitably, I have gotten used to it

8.One one of the songs you also have session work from Midgard of 'Oujia', can you tell us a little bit more about his contribution to the recording?

Due to the delay in the release of the album, which was originally going to be released in early 2022, I was improving the master and making some arrangements and I had been wanting to propose a collaboration to Midgard for some time, but between one thing and another I never contacted him . , I finally decided.

His work in Ouija and Spellcraft seems enormous to me, so I proposed it to him and he accepted without hesitation, which is appreciated and surprised me, he is a great person and very accessible.

I gave him total freedom to eliminate the parts he wanted and to add his voice as he wanted, in the end he only added clean voices, but they give another special touch to that song, I really like how it turned out.

At the end of the album there is a bonus track of that song "The Perversion" which is the original, the one I recorded, without collaboration.

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

Well, the truth is that it has not had the expected response, perhaps now that Blood Fire Death is being heavily promoted there will be better promotion and it will reach more media and people who might like Eerie.

On the first album there was no promotion, I took charge of sending promotional links to the media, but most did not respond or simply said "Eerie's first release" and little else, Black Metal Promotions would have been a good push to give the band to know, but he didn't want to upload it either, he says "Sorry, it's not exactly my thing."

so I will continue on my way, with or without help!!

10.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that you are a part of?

Well this year, due to delays beyond the control of the bands, three releases have been put together, EERIE's "The Delirium Of The Believers", ENCEPHALIC "Wrapped In Suffering" and INHUMAN DEPRAVATION "Servants Of Supremacy", DECEIT and CATASTROPHIC EVOLUTION are on stand by, WITH ALL MY HATE will surely begin the compositions of the fifth album next year, ABANDONMENT the second album is 50% complete and a new Death Metal project is yet to write the lyrics and record the vocals for the release of the first full length, I don't like Ep's or splits, so I try to make only full length

11.Where do you see yourself heading into as a musician during the future?

My only objective is to compose, record and release albums, I have been a musician since '94 and 21 albums if I'm not mistaken, I like and enjoy composing and creating my own works, obviously I also enjoy listening to the works of others, but with o without other musicians, I will continue to expand my legacy, hahaha

I have my own record label ICON OF BRUTALITY PRODUCTIONS that in its day released several bands and even organized three festivals under the name of the ICON OF BRUTALITY FEST label, but since I lost money with both the festivals and the releases, so I have it as a distributor, although right now it is on standby due to lack of time and money.

And it's something that I would like to raise and when I stop composing continue with it, but as I told you, I lost money and I don't know if I'll dare to resume it again.

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?

Here I could spend hours writing bands, but since I was a child I listened to various musical styles, Death Metal, Grindcore, Brutal Death, Black Metal, Heavy Metal, Speed Metal, Doom Metal, and maybe some Thrash Metal, but very little, I like music not the style, I enjoy listening to something that fills me, not because it is of this style or another.

Bands I listened to when I started Ac/Dc, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Sepultura, ... later I started to meet bands like Entombed, Dismember, Pestilence, Death, Deicide, Brutal Truth, Brutality, Amorphis, Napalm Death, Emperor, Satyricon, Cradle Of filth, Dimmu Borgir, Gorgoroth, Belphegor, to name a few that come to mind, later Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Devourment, Deeds Of Flesh, Deranged, Nasum, Disavowed, Severe Torture, Inveracity, Gorgasm, Ouija, Carcass , Paradise Lost, The Heretic, Uncreation, Reincarnation, Golgotha, Nopresion, SA, Machine Head, Scent Of Death, at some point Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers... over time, and oddly enough I started listening to bands that I hadn't paid attention to like Dark Funeral, something from Mayhem and Marduk, Dark Funeral, especially the first records and Marduk I love them, but for one reason or another when I started listening to music I didn't pay attention to them.

Today I still listen to those albums and bands like Stabbing, Mgla, ...And Ocean, Velka, Lik, Putridity, some Batushka stuff, there was a period when I listened to some Nu Metal, Djent and a lot of Thrashcore, but most of it of the time I listen to Brutal Death and Black Metal.

13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

As I said at the beginning, thank you for the interview, for your time and space, and tell me.

To the readers who have read this far, also thank you for liking, hahaha.

And above all, give the band and its albums a chance, listening to it a few times you will find things that you might not have noticed at first listen, I like to add details and arrangements, not just make basic and direct music.

Greetings to all!!!

Primordial/How It Ends/Metal Blade Records/2023 Full Length Review

 

  Ireland's  Primordial  has  returned  with  a  new  recording  which  continues  the  Celtic  folk  music  inspired  style  of  pagan  black  metal  from  previous  releases  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2023  album  "How  It  Ends"  which  will  be  released  in  September  by  Metal  Blade  Records.

  A  very  dark,  heavy  and  melodic  sound  starts  off  the  album  while  most  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  lot  of  clear  pagan  metal  vocals  and  the  solos  and  leads  also  add  in  a  lot  of  melody.

  The  slower  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  touches  of  doom  and  dark  metal  while  the  more  aggressive  vocals  are  done  in  more  of  a  black  metal  style.  Clean  playing  is  also  added  on  some  of  the  tracks  along  with  one  song  also  being  an  instrumentals  well  as  some  of  the  vocals  also  being  influenced  by  the  Celtic  folk  music  style  and  the  whole  album  sticks  to  either  a  slow  or  mid  tempo  direction,  throat  singing  can  also  be  heard  briefly.

  On  this  recording  Primordial  beings  in  more  of  a  slow  or  mid  tempo  pagan  black  metal  style  which  also  adds  in  touches  of  Celtic  folk  music  in  the  clean  vocals.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  Celtic  Paganism,  Modern  and  Historical  ideas.  

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  album  from  Primordial  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  enjoy  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "How  It  Ends"  "Pilgrimage  To  The  World's  End"  "Call  To  Cernunnos"  and  "Death  Holy  Death".  8  out  of  10.

  On  this  album  Hegeroth  brings  in  elements  of  death  metal  to  their  aggressive  and  melodic  style  to  create  something  very  different  from  previous  releases.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  anti  clerical  themes.

Orgy of HELL Interview

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

Nobody has really heard of us. I know this interview will break us through big time though! OOH is myself and a couple co-conspirators. We met through the occult community here in Salem, MA. This town is polluted with poseur tourists and souvenir shops. We are a reminder that darkness and evil still lurks in the depths of Salem Towne. 

2.Recently you have released a demo, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?

There's a ritualistic element that we wanted to capture. That part comes natural to us. But we also wanted to honor evil entities of the past: Bathory, Samael, Beherit, Necrovore and Fulgor are the inspirations behind our music. 

3.A lot of your lyrics cover satanic and occult themes, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the dark arts?

I grew up at the threshold of various occult gateways- traditional witchcraft, LaVeyan Satanism, Hermeticism, Wicca... This first demo in particular focuses on the Left Hand Path and more importantly, female personifications of evil - and there are many... I've met a few!

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'orgyOf HELL'?

We wanted something that sounds like an old Satanic exploitation horror film.

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

It's actually a public domain art piece I found. The original intent was to commission an artist, but I saw that witch burning art and knew it was meant to be.

6.Has the band done any live shows or is this strictly a studio project?

No shows - we have a general disdain for people and group entertainment gatherings, and also the individual members are currently travelling. We'll converge every few months to work on this project, and the best bits will eventually show up on another demo.

7.So far very little is known about the band, do you prefer to keep a lower profile?

We just don't have any desire to promote the project - releasing some music on bandcamp once in a while is good enough. Anyone that is meant to hear it will be drawn to it. These days it takes no effort to find obscure music and that ruins the mystique in some ways. We dwell deep down there, and keep ourselves to ourselves.

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

We'd be interested in doing a split or a 7" - something with minimal commitment.

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

This music was originally meant for our inner circle here, so I've only just begun to sprinkle our blasphemies to the external world. People keep asking for a cassette version, so maybe we'll do that.

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

We try to strike a balance that is raw and reduced, but with maximum evil. We don't use guitars, so it's all bass and synths holding down the atmosphere. There's still much to explore within this framework.

11.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?

Other than the artists I mentioned earlier, we all enjoy coldwave, darkwave, industrial and noise music. Lately, I've only been listening to Radio Werewolf.

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Thanks for your interest in our sounds. The regal pulse of Lucifer is strong and courses through our veins.

Belial's Throne Interview

 

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

1.Thanks for inviting me to an interview with your zine. We are Belial's Throne and we are a black metal band from Ireland. I brought the project to life in 2016. The current line-up of the band is as follows:

King of Shadows- guitars (lead) & compositions

Ragaart- guitars(rythm), bass, art cover,

Golgotha-vocals, lyrics

Boban-drumms.

We play atmospheric melodic black metal inspired by 90's black metal.

2.You have a new album coming out in September, musically how does it differ from your previous ep?

2.Yes, our first LP will be released under the banner of Spread Evil Productions on the 1st September. The difference between an EP and a full album is huge. The EP was supposed to have a raw sound and we managed to achieve it. The LP is more atmospheric and more refined. The albums are different, but we are going in the right direction with our music imo.

3.The band has been around since 2016 but so far there had  only been one ep and full length, can you tell us a little bit more about the long wait in between releases?

3. Good things take time...

4.Some of your lyrics cover Anti Christianity themes, can you tell us a little bit more abotu your hatred for this religion?

4.Christianity was built on lies, manipulation and enslavement and it seriuosly restricts our freedom. My music is a reflection of my rebellious soul and hatred of Christianity.

5.What are some of the other lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?

5.On this topic, I took the opinion of the author of the lyric himself, here they are...

Golghotha: A lot of the lyrics are about me and the thoughts of coming to terms with leaving the material world... the rest is inspired by music, poetry and literature. texts are open to interpretation. Personally, they are very important to me, and how they are perceived is an individual matter for everyone. I don't want to impose anything or influence anyone's way of thinking. My lyrics = ME.

6.I know the band was name after the demon 'Belial', how would you describe your interest in demonology, occultism and dark arts?

6.Occult, demons, dark art are used by many to intimidate people, dissuade them from seeking the truth and understanding the essence of our existence. Delving into the subject of occultism, getting acquainted with demonology, it is easy to understand that the only purpose of the Christian religion is a form of manipulation aimed at bringing the greatest possible material gains and unlimited control over humanity for a certain group. Threats of hellfire to dissuade you from asking questions and looking for answers. Pathetic desperate tricks adapted to the needs of naive indoctrination... note that demons represent everything that can threaten Christianity... rebellion, wisdom, strength, pride, light, cunning, freedom, ... that is, everything that a man has. Occultism it opens the possibility for man to understand how oppressive the world we live in and also, in a way, gives you to know the possibilities of liberation and living in harmony with yourself, using the potential that lies dormant in us, being enlightened and aware of your abilities .

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

7.As for the graphics, the design was mine and Ragaart's and the rest is 100% Ragaart's work.

A few words from Ragaart:

The graphics I created are exactly in the mood of the title, The image shows the characters introducing the viewer or the listener, because in this case they both become recipients, to the posthumous world, where all souls are forgotten by their creator, and in which they have to start creating their own own world and take care of your own safety. There is no God or anyone else who remembers them or takes care of them. In this world - oblivion takes care of them.

8.Has the band done any live shows or open to the idea?

8.We haven't played a gigs yet. As you know Belial's Throne is an international project and it's hard to get together, but we're not ruling it out in the future.

9.The new album is going to be released on 'Spread Evil productions', how would you compare working with this label to 'Guts And Blood' and 'Rotten Records'?

9.I have no reservations about working with Spread Evil Production. everything went very smoothly. The promotion of the new album is going great, which I really missed when working with Rotten Records. The promotion wasn't great and we really had to take care of it ourselves. Spread Evil Production approached the matter fully professionally, which we are very pleased with.

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

10.In my opinion, our music, both the EP and the promotional tracks from the upcoming album, have been very well received, which we are very happy about.

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

11. We will follow the chosen path of melodic atmospheric black metal. Our goal is to create music that will be unique and recognisable as Belial's Throne style.

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. My music reflects my fascination with old school scandinavian black metal bands from the 90's ( Dissection, Mork Gryning, Vinterland, old Satyricon)as well as contemporary Finnish bands, with Havukruunu, Ymir, Satanic Warmaster being my inspiration.

13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

13.I want to thank everyone who contributed to the creation of our album, respect to you guys. Enjoy our album. Hails!

Scarlet Empyrean Interview

 

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

Scarlet Empyrean is a reflection of the Triumphs & Sorrows on which Mankind must balance.

A spiritual catalyst for the transfer of all forms of negative emotion, and the revelation of Natural Beauties held within such forms.

2. So far you have released an ep, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?

Cathartic, Raw Black Metal that carries the Flame of Old Tradition.

3. Some of your lyrics cover mysticism and spirituality themes, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in these topics?

My interest deepens with further understanding & application. 0 = 2

4. What are some of the other lyrical topics and subjects you have explored so far with the music?

On the EP, the aforementioned themes are most significant on the surface.

Yet while the lyrics are crafted in a specific way, it is best if the listener come to their own interpretation uninfluenced, for now.

5. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Scarlet Empyrean'?

The Sub-Ether tethering Upper Limits of our World & Beyond.

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

Self Portrait on Starless Night

7. With this project you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with other musicians or do you prefer to work solo?

Much preferred is Composing in the solitudes & gentle hum of Night whose Unabetted Evolution through Seasons informs such Compositions.

All that is Human, that which Perverts the moment of Creation, must be Exorcised from within so that Nature & Soul may communicate.

This is the only way to create Uncompromised Sound that brings healing to both Elements.

8. The new ep is going to be released on 'Heaven's Night', an you tell us a little bit more about this label?

Heaven's Night exists to Breathe Life into the Malevolent Beauty of Cathartic Black Metal.

To Breathe Life into Sound which is Birthed of & Offered in Reverence to Earth's Ancient Grace.

To Invoke the Wisdom that comes with Comprehension of All Grief of the Universe. 

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

We have received strong support in the global Underground so far. 'Nysthica' Tapes are almost gone.

10. Are you also involved with any other bands or musical projects?

Currently, the focus is Scarlet Empyrean. There are bands that we have been in contact with from across the World who are interested in becoming aligned.

To be considered goes beyond just Music.

Naturally, with such strict criteria comes intense vetting. One band that CAN be spoken of is Welteislehre.

Their demo is seething, cold and romantically sorrowful.

While different in approach from Scarlet Empyrean, they represent True Cathartic Raw Black Metal and are Naturally Aligned in vision.

11. When can we expect a full length and also where do you see yourself heading into as a musician during the future?

Many details are still guarded. I can say the ideas presented in the EP have been expanded upon greatly while maintaining its Essence. Stay tuned.

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?

Some have compared certain aspects of Scarlet Empyrean to those of Hate Forest, Walknut, and early Drudkh.

I have been listening to Astral Infest, Gas, Krohm, and BBH works lately.  

13. Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Hails to OccultBlackMetalZine & all those in support of Heaven's Night.

The Invincible Spirit of True Black Metal shall never falter.

Scarlet Empyrean CDs and Vinyl coming soon. Tapes almost Gone. https://heavens-night.bandcamp.com
