Ars Macabra Interview


1. Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?


We are promoting our latest CD "Nil Sine Deo"




2. How would you describe the musical sound on the split album and how it
differs from previous releases?


There have been some mistakes by a praevious unqualified sound-technician where he recorded awful drum tracks then we wasted more time because a more incompetent phony wanna be sound-tech promised a good editing and mixing , he did a total desaster instead, so we have to rush all our tracks to a good soundtechnician which did a good job in the end.
The musical sound is still very morbid and this time we used more slow tempos to create more mnorbid atmospheres and sinister melodies is a good combionation of raw violent tracks with a big hint of black melodies.



3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with
the new release?

Luciferianism within chaos , not only on the monotheistic view of the old contapposition with the church etc, but since we are now facing a new Aeon and a new era (quantum methaphisics is revealing also) we hope to bring voice from the abyss of chaos and the octarine power.


4. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the bands name?

Art of the Macabre


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

Only once in BelgiUm with Negura Bunget,anyway all those concerts out of our country. I cant describe a stage performance since trying to play live here impossible unless you are an asslicker or pay some money. You could never play a decent show, there are no people attending anymore is all a pathetic circus since Black metal trend is over (is good in a way) so those few bands who perform live at least in my country they do it because is just their ego and will to be on a stage and show off, and has nothing to do with a real scene or following, is basically more than often a total waste of time.

6. DO you have any touring plans for the future?

Touring ??? LOL ....sorry you really make me laugh......



7. What is going on with the projects these days?

What projects? we go along with recording new tracks for a full lenght.



8. You have been around since 1998, what is it that motivates you to
creating new black metal after all of these days?

Cause we like it and we feel it inside, is not something we do from age 18 till age 30, is not like a thing you try to do in our life as a game.



9. On a worldwide level how has your newr material been recieved by black
metal fans?


who the fuck know, I dont have really any idea I hope the right people can enjoy it, more than that I dont really care.


10. What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?

Passages with more guitars, more sound soulutions and different atmopspheres ,
use of different sound both on bass and guitars , we basically evolve slowly but we do.



11. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music
and also what are you listening to nowadays?

Bands I thin didi a step forward are Deathspell Omega, Ondskapt,Darkspace,Myrkr,Cainan Dawn,Bergraven,Heresy,MGLA.



12. How would you describe your views on Satanism and Occultism and where
do you draw the most inspiration from in the feild of the black arts?

A monotheistic vision is some of the past , the octarine magic and the gnosis of it, is part of chaos magik.The individual is free to use ane of the eight powers from death to lunarn-saturnine ,eros ,thanatos and chaos so applying rituals and invocations...individuals,bands or groups of searchers that focus only on the death aspect which is only a passage are stagnant and static plus I can feel a lot exploitation of those subject since too long.So the bands who are concentrated only on the "satanic" aspect are stale and out of the current of power.....plus they are false rebel.


13. Outside of music what are some of your interests?

Painting,aknolowdgement, magical leraning,sex and the right physical activity.


14. Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?

Don't follow others follow yourself easy to say not so easy to do.
Thanks for your time!

Ars Macabra/Cosmic Ekpyrosis/Nil Sine Deo/Grom Records/2011 CD Split Review


 This is a review of a split album between Ars Macabra from from and Cosmic Ekpyrosis From Italy called "Nil Sine Deo" which was released by Grom Records and we will star of the review with Ars Macabra that plays a very fast, raw and primitive form of black metal.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and on the last song they sound very powerful.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding with some dark sounding melodies being thrown in at times, while the lead guitars which are only utilized briefly are very primitive sounding black metal guitar leads .

Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams with some deep growls being thrown in at times, while the lyrics cover Chaos, Hatred and Philosophy, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Ars Macabra are a very good sounding raw and primitive black metal band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Breed Of Cain".

Next up is Cosmic Ekpyrosis that plays a very raw, fast, melodic and primitive form of black metal.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown in, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive with a good amount of melody being thrown into the music and there are little to no guitar solos or leads present on this recording.

Vocals are mostly deep black metal growls mixed in with some high pitched screams, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Cosmic Ekyprosis are a very good raw and primitive black metal band with the best music on this split and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Devillish Angel:. RECOMMENDED

In my opinion this is a great split album and every black metal fan should check it out. RECOMMENDED BUY.
