1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording of the new album?
We have been working behind the scenes to get everything ready for the release and taking some much need rest in parts of it as well. 2024 was a crazy year for us and we need to recharge.
2.You have a new album coming out towards the end of February, musically what are some of the things you feel you have accomplished with this recording that you have not been able to do with your previous releases?
We really went all out on this album. We added a lot more synth than we have previously used, basically the whole album one concept and really laid into trying to capture how we sound like on the album. The combo of these 3 is why this album is a big step for us. I am very pleased with how everything turned out and wouldn't change anything on the album.
3.Musically you are more close to the classic European style and a lot different from the more American post black metal style or blackgaze which a lot of modern American bands shoot for but you have also done a lot better then most modern American bands that are more old school influenced, do you feel you work a lot harder then a lot other bands that play in the similar style?
I don't compare us to other bands, but yes we are more rooted in the classic BM style than we are with some of the modern american style ones. We bleed, claw and sweat for everything we work on. Nothing is taken lightly. We put a lot into this latest record and you can tell when listening to it.
4.The band members also have history playing other types of underground an d extreme metal along with some also having a background playing more of a power and traditional style of metal, do you feel the background working with other styles of metal has helped the musical style of 'Necrofier' to achieve the perfect balance between the more brutal and melodic aspects of the music?
I really do think it has. We have a ton of different influences and they show up in our music, while at the same time not making it too far off. We ride the edge of blending different styles into necrofier without losing what it is a the core, black metal!
5.Lyrically the new album also has a concept revolving around the number 3, do the band members have an interest in the more occult aspects of numerology?
Yes, The record is our 3 album, broken into 3 acts with 3 interludes. Nothing is a coincidence
6.Lyrically you also cover the Luciferian Dark Night Of The Soul, how would you describe your views on Luciferianism?
Lucifer to me is cutting your own path, the light in the darkness that most society doesn't see because they are blind. Not accepting that my fate is in anyone's hands but my own.
7.With the new album how would you describe the lyrical progress between the last 3 releases?
This one took a little longer because the songs are tied together in parts and had to be placed right. It also tied in personal experience to the album concept which is something I haven't done as much of in our past releases. Also I've never done anything in the 3 acts like we did on the album. I really love how it all turned out but a lot more work than previous ones.
8. Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?
Jose Gabriel did the cover, it was an honor to have one of the greatest artists of our time to do it. I've been a big fan of his for a while and own several books and albums he's done. I gave him the concept of the album he created based on that. You gotta to see the other piece he did that comes inside the album too, its amazing
9.Out of all the tours and shows the band has done so far which one do you feel stands out the most?
Best tour we have done was with Hulder, Devilmaster and Worm. One of the longer ones but also playing with other black metal bands like Hulder made us really feel at home on the tour and when playing. Everything aligned and the shows were all magick.
