Lembrando Os Mortos Interview


1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?
Lembrando os Mortos begins form the idea of playing ​​black metal, I'm the only member of the band. I've been playing for over 15 years so far, and I always wanted to bring something to the actual black metal scene.
So I started writing material for what is the first demo of the band " ritual de despedida"

2.How would you describe the musical sound that is present on the demo?
Music is strictly black metal, in all its glory, there are no subgenres, Lembrando os Mortos is  black metal is in all its complexity, fast parts, mid tempos, raw melancholic  melody, hatred and emotions as it should be.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
The lyrics are about the man, as feel the life and his relationship with the death, about our ancestors who left and as the land is responsible for bury us all. The individuality, issues such as nature and how humanity destroys everything around.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Lembrando os Mortos?
The name means remembering the dead, is a song of the Portuguese black metal band Inverno Eterno, of which I am a big fan.
5.According to everything I have read so far, the band members come from both Brazil and Urugay, how do you set up the reocrding process?

As I said LOM is just me, the truth is that I live on the border between these 2 countries, and for this I name both. The recording, mixing and all the instruments and vocals was done by me alone.

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


7.Currently the band is unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
Yes, we had good interest to release the demo, and we are ready to release it next year

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of black metal?
Much better than I was expecting to be the first material of the band, people giving plenty of support, and this is just the beginning.

9.Are there any other musical projects besides this band?
No

10.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?
There is only one direction to go: Black fucking Metal.
There is so much hatred, negativity and emotions to explore in the world of underground black metal.

 11.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
The only style that inspires me is the black metal, I breathe it, there are so many ways to be creative in this style.
My inspiration comes from the old school Norwegian, Finnish scene and the great Portuguese black metal scene.
I'm always listening to groups like Dolentia, Inthyflesh, Lux Ferre, Satanic Warmaster, Horna, Sargeist and new albums of Cosmic Church, Pavle Arnault, Azaghal, Cultes Des Ghouls, Eternum, Kvele. To name a few.

12.How would you describe your views on Satanism and Occultism?
These are very personal issues, and the only way I found to release it is behind Lembrando os Mortos songs.

13.Outside of music what are some of your interests?
Eat, drink and shit.

14.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?
Thanks Occult black metal zine for the support.
Continue to support the true black metal.

Lembrando os Mortos/Ritual De Despedida/2013 Demo Review


  Lembrando  os  Mortos  are  a  band  from  Brazil  and  Uragay  that  plays  a  very  old  school  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2013  demo  "Ritual  De  Despedida".

  "Ritual  De  Despedida"  which  is  also  the  title  track  and  first  song  on  the  demo  opens  up  with  spoken  word  parts,  world  war  II  samples  and  slow  and  dark  black  metal  guitar  riffs  along  with  some  drums  and  after  a  couple  of  minutes  grim  black  metal  vocals  make  their  way  into  the  song  and  after  awhile  the  music  goes  into  a  faster  direction  along  with  some  blast  beats  for  a  couple  of  minutes  and  then  alternating  between  slow  and  fast  parts.

  "O  Ponto  Fixo"  begins  with  fast  and  raw black  metal  guitar  riffs  along  with  some  blast  beats  from  the  drums  which  also  leads  up  to  some  high  pitched  screams  and  after  a  couple  of  minutes  the  music  slows  down  a  bit  and  you  can  hear  the  bass  guitars  in  the  background  before  the  song  starts  alternating  between  fast  and  slow  parts.

  "El  Veneno  Y  La  Cura"  kicks  in  with  stomping  sounds  before  adding  in  some  fast  and  melodic  black  metal  guitar  riffs  along  with  some  drums  and  blast  beats  and  a  few  seconds  later  grim  black  metal  vocals  kick  in  and  you  can  also  hear  the  bass  guitars  in  the  song  along  with  some  mid  paced  sections.

  "O  Rumor  Fatidico  Dos  Ventos"  which  is  also  the  last  song  on  the  demo  begins  with  sound  effects  and  a  minute  later  slow  and  melodic  black  metal  guitar  and  bass  riffs  come  into  the  song  along  with  some  drums  and  after  awhile  the  guitars  start  utilizing  some  leads  and  solos  thst  come  in  and  out  of  the  song  which   also  in  return  brings  in  grim  vocals  and  as  time  goes  in  by  there  is  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing  before  getting  heavy  again

  Song  lyrics  are  written  in  their  native  tongue  and  seem  to  cover  dark  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  the  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Lembrando  os  Mortos"  are  a  very  great  sounding  old  school  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  demo.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Ritual  De  Despedida"  and  "O  Rumor  Fatidico  Dos  Ventos".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
