CATCH 22 with their second album
managed to release a complete work, complete from the composing point but
also from the creation of sentiments they offer us. Charmed by their music,
we couldn't stand like this and we arranged an interview.
1)HOW WAS THE WHOLE BAND IDEA CREATED?
TURN BACK TO DAY ZERO TILL NOW AND BRIEF US. WHO ARE CATHCH 22?
I WAS ALWAYS ATTRACTED TO MUSIC FROM
A VERY YOUNG AGE.SO IT WAS A NATURAL PROGRESSION TO START A BAND.SINCE
THEN IT HAS BEEN WRITE/RECORD/PLAY LIVE WRITE /RECORD /PLAY LIVE.FOR MORE
INFO GO TO WWW.CATCH22METAL.COM
2)WHAT DOES YOUR BAND NAME MEAN AND
HOW DID YOU SELECT IT?
CATCH 22 MEANS A NO WIN SITUATION.DAMNED
IF YOU DO DAMNED IF YOU DONT.I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH THE DICTIONARY AND
LIKED IT RIGHT OFF THE BAT.YES TO A CERTAIN DEGREE IT IS CRUCIAL.EVERYBODY
SEEMS TO LIKE IT AND IT HAS BEEN THE NAME FOR 10 YEARS AND IT WILL CONTINUE
TO BE.
3)ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH "TIME REVEALS
ALL"? WHY DID YOU SELECT THIS TITLE AND WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SAY WITH IT?
TIME REVEALS ALL IS THE ALBUM THAT
MADE PEOPLE STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE.SO IT WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE
FOR ME.I'VE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED WITH THE CONCEPT OF TIME AND IT SOUNDED
LIKE A GOOD TITLE.
4)ARE YOU PREPARING A NEW CD? TELL
US SOME INFORMATION ABOUT IT. WHEN WILL IT BE RELEASED AND A POSSIBLE TITLE
AS WELL.
WE ARE GOING TO THE STUDIO THE END
OF APRIL.THE NEW CD WILL BE CALLED "AWAKEN".IT WILL HAVE 12 TRACKS AND
WILL BE RELEASED LATER THIS YEAR.
5)IN THE BOOKLET OF THE CD IN THE BACKGROUND
THERE ARE SOME WORDS WRITTEN. WHAT DO THEY SAY? WHAT ARE THEY?
THAT IS THE CATCH 22 BACKDROP.
6)WHAT ARE YOUR LYRICS TALKING ABOUT?
MANY TALK FOR GOD. IS THERE ANY CHANCE TO BE CALLED A WHITE METAL BAND?
MOST OF MY LYRICS ARE SELF EXPLANATORY.I
LIKE FOR PEOPLE TO GET THEIR OWN MEANING OUT OF MY LYRICS.SO I LET THEM
PERCIECE MY LYRICS HOW THEY WANT.NOT A CHANCE IN HELL OF US BEING A WHITE
METAL BAND.
7) HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO THE LIVE
SHOWS TO SING AND PLAY THE GUITAR AT THE SAME TIME? DOES IT LIMIT YOUR
WAY OF EXPRESSING?
I'VE DONE IT FOR SO LONG NOW IT IS
LIKE SECOND NATURE.I DONT FEEL IT LIMITS ME ITS A PERFECT COMBINATION.
ITS WHAT I LOVE TO DO.
8)HOW COME YOUR SOUND IS SO TRADITIONAL,
CLOSE TO THE 80'S? YOU HAVEN'T BEEN INFLUENCED FROM THE MODERN SOUND, LIKE
MOST OF THE BANDS OF YOUR COUNTRY DO.
TRUE/CLASSIC METAL IS THE BEST.IT IS
ALSO EVERYBODYS FAVORITE IN THE BAND.NO ONE REALLY LIKES THE NEW SHIT
SO NATURALLY WE ARE GOING TO SOUND TRUE/CLASSIC METAL.WHICH I THINK IS
A GREAT THING.WE ARE PLAYING THE CLASSIC METAL FESTIVAL 2 IN CLEVELAND
OHIO IN JULY.TO FIND OUT MORE GO TO WWW.CATCH22METAL.COM AND GO TO THE
LINKS SECTION THERE IS A LINK TO IT THERE.
9)YOUR LYRICS GIVE ME THE IDEA THAT
TRY TO AWAKEN THE PEOPLE OF YOUR COUNTRY AND IN GENERAL AND THAT YOU TRY
TO MAKE PEOPLE MORE SENSITIVE TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. DO YOU THINK THAT MUSICIANS
CAN AND SHOULD DO THAT?
LIKE I SAID EARLIER I LET PEOPLE PERCIEVE
MY LYRICS HOW THEY WANT.
10)WHAT DOES HEAVY METAL MEAN FOR YOU?
METAL IS LIFE.CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT.
11)WHICH SONG OF YOURS DO YOU THINK
IS THE MOST IDEAL TO REPRESENT YOUR WORK WORLDWIDE?
THAT IS A HARD QUESTION CUZ OUR MUSIC
IS SO DIVERSE.I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO SAY THINK FOR YOURSELF.
12)IF YOUR MUSIC WAS A SENTIMENT WHAT
WOULD IT BE AND IF IT WAS PAINTING WHAT WOULD IT SHOW?
BOTTLE OF BEER WITH A NAKED LADY
ON IT.SEE ABOVE DESCRIPTION.
13)WHICH IS THE WEIRDEST AND MOST ANNOYING
QUESTIONS YOU'VE BEEN ASKED AND WHICH QUESTIONS WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ASKED
AND NO ONE HAS EVER DONE TO YOU? ANSWER IT AS WELL...
I AM NOT ANNOYED BY ANY QUESTIONS INTERVIEWERS
ASK.I GLAD PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN ME AND MY MUSIC.I HAVE NO IDEA.I ENJOY
ANSWERING ALL OF THEM.
14)FOR WHICH BOOK WOULD YOU LIKE TO
MAKE A MOVIE AND COMPOSE THE SOUNDTRACK?

STORY/WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE AND THE SOUNDTRACK WOULD RULE.HELL YES.
