Mirzam Antidotum Ov Marazm Interview

 

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

Hello, we are very pleased that thanks to you we can present ourselves to a wider audience. The history of MAOM is quite short, so we don't have much to tell, but we have much more to show, and we prefer to do it at concerts. The name itself refers to one of the brightest stars in the constellation Canis Major, which is approximately 493 light-years away from the Sun.

The beginnings of our common path date back to 2019, when the first seeds of energy were born on the initiative of Magnetar and Ikar, which gradually grew, resulting in an EP recorded in 2022. Following suit, we started preparing for a full album while looking for musicians to play together and later they joined our constellation: IGTL on bass and Alioth as the pulsar of our star.

2.Towards the end of November you have your first full length coming out, musically how does it differ from your previous ep?

 Musically, it's primarily the sound. Only songs played in D-drop tuning were recorded on the EP. Currently, we play in standard tuning to E. The textual layer can be said to be similar - a philosophical interpretation of the universe surrounding us.

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

The album covers topics most closely related to our feelings about the world around us. We are philosophers in our being, filled with the spirit of the universe, which we pour into our texts. We write about changes, transformations and feelings related to it, there are cosmic thoughts, sometimes spiritual, mental, and sometimes it's a free rein of the imagination.

4.I know the band was named after one the brightest stars in the constellation of the Great Dog, how does this name fit in with the musical style that you play?

 The star Mirzam belongs to the type of bright giants, it is thousands of times brighter than the sun. This translates into our music through the shine and radiance of MIRZAM AOM which we want to convey, clearly suggest, listen to US.

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

  The cover is a real painting that was created by our IGTL bassist. In fact, when we saw it for the first time, we immediately knew it would be our cover. And what does it represent? Tell me, what do you see there? Let's leave it to any interpretation ;)

6.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

  Due to the fact that we are a young band whose concert line-up was formed recently, we were only able to play a few pieces. We played the first concert without a drummer and it will definitely be remembered, even though the audience wasn't great :) then we played in our city where we were very well received, the audience was great and they weren't disappointed :) A moment later Alioth joined us, with whom we have played 3 or 4 concerts so far. Needless to say, our performances have only improved in quality since then :)

7.Do you have any touring or show plans once the new album is released?

We are planning, we hope that we will manage to finalize all the details and, above all, do our first tour next year. We are willing to share our energy and play wherever we can :D

8.The new album is coming out on 'Via Nocturna', how did you get in contact with this label?

  Already during the EP, we were looking for potential publishers and that's how we found VN. The rest was a matter of time.

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

  Honestly, it's hard to say, I don't think we've gone that far yet ;) we're getting various feedback signals, 99% of them are good ;)

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

  Play, play and play again. We are already focused on new compositions that are already materializing. You know, it's worth mentioning that our music is created together, by playing together during rehearsals, systematically, with a certain amount of discipline. This is what MAOM shapes, shared energy, and this is what we want to convey in the near future, preferably at concerts, directly.

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?

  Each of us listens to different music and different music/bands may have had some influence on our work. Nevertheless, we do not force anything, because someone plays this way and we play this way. As we mentioned, we create from the energy flowing from us during rehearsals :D However it may sound.

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

 Be and abide in MIRZAM\m/
