ANAEL PLAY
A STRANGE MIX OF HEAVY METAL, GOTHIC AND INDUSTRIAL AND THEY CAN CREATE
STRANGE FEELINGS WITH THEIR MUSIC, WHICH CAN HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR INNER
MOST DARK THOUGHTS. IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO EXPLORE YOURSELVES TRY TO
LISTEN ANAEL...
1.GIVE US SOME INFORMATION ABOUT
THE BAND HISTORY? IS IT A SOLO PROJECT?
-
1.Yes, it's a solo project, i decided
to do everything on my own, because when you try to do something in a band,
there's always someone to make things stagnate. But I always pay attention
to external critics!
2.HOW DID YOU CHOOSE THIS BAND NAME
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
-
2.I found this name in an old book
about occultism. It's an angel's name and I choose it because it doesn't
sound metal.
3.YOUR DEMO CD IS ENTITLED "UNION"
AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU OF WHAT UNION ARE YOU ARE TALKING?
-
3."Union" is a very vague word and
i like it. It's the union between the body and the spirit, the others ans
the "I", the internal peace... it's a state of mind i'd like to reach.
It's also a union between different musical style.
4.IN MY REVIEW I DESCRIBED YOUR MUSIC
AS A MIX OF ROB ZOMBIE, FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM AND MAYHEM'S LAST ALBUM.
HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THESE BANDS? DO YOU AGREE OR NOT? WHY?
-
4.These are innovative bands, so I
agree :)
5.ONE OF YOUR SONG IS INSPIRED BY A
T.S ELIOT'S POET, HOW YOU DECIDED TO DO THAT? DO YOU THINK THAT METAL FANS
SHOULD UNDERSTAND IT?
-
5. I choose this poem because it deals
with union (and many other things!). I hope that metal fans sometimes stop
to drink and read a good book :)
6.DOES ANY MUSICIAN HELPED YOU TO THE
RECORDINGS OF THIS DEMO?
7.MANY EXTREME METAL BANDS EXPRESS
RACISTIC IDEOLOGIES. WHICH ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?
-
7.I try to understand how racist people
"think" but i can't! It's sad that politics overcome music. Racists are
just trendies. It's the most infortunate that they sully metal's reputation.
8.WHICH ALBUMS DO YOU LISTEN TO A LOT
LATELY AND WHICH ARE YOUR 5 ALL TIME CLASSICS?
-
8. Nothing new but my 5 classics are
with no hesitation : Guns "Use Your Illusion", "The Doors", "Portishead",
Samael's "Passage", Mayhem's "De Mysteriis".
9.HAVE YOU DONE ANY LIVE SHOWS? DO
YOU LIKE PERFORMING LIVE? WITH WHICH BAND WOULD YOU LIKE TO TOUR?
-
9.I like it very much. To play your
music in front of people is a feeling that only those who did it could
understand. I would like to tour with the Doors but it's quiet impossible!
10.HOW YOU HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A COVER
OF BURZUM'S "WHEN NIGHT FALLS" SONG? DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY COVER SONGS?
-
10.I don't like to play covers, but
i did it for Burzum because i like its atmosphere, and it's funny to watch
racists's reaction when it's a non-aryan person who plays it.
11.WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO HATE IN THE
MUSIC INDUSTRY?
-
11.I hate the fact that many talented
bands would remain unknown because they don't respond to the mob's need.
12.WITH WHICH OTHER MUSIC DO YOU THINK
METAL CAN BE COMBINED PERFECTLY AND WITH WHICH DO YOU THINK HAS NOTHING
TO DO?
-
12.Everything could be associated with
metal with more or less success, and all musical styles could be associated.
It's narrow-minded people who kill music.
13.WHICH IS THE MOST IRRITATING QUESTION
SOMEONE'S EVER DONE TO YOU AND WHICH QUESTION WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ASKED
AND NO ONE EVER DID? ANSWER IT.
-
13.No irritating question yet. The
one i'd like to hear is : " what can i do to make you happy?" my answer
: " let's talk about it over a drink!"
14.WHICH BOOK, YOU LIKE A LOT, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO BE MADE A MOVIE?
-
14.Nothing, because i'm always disapointed
by adaptations.
15.FOR WHICH MOVIE WOULD YOU LIKE TO
COMPOSE THE SOUNDTRACK?
-
15.For something really strange, a
sick snuff. A film that stimulates our psychopath side.
16.THANKS FOR THE INTERVIEW! I THINK
THAT WE HAVE FINISHED THE INTERROGATION FOR NOW :). CLOSE THE INTERVIEW
WITH A MESSAGE FOR THE READErS OF THE BEHIND THE VEIL WEBZINE.
