CRYONIC
TEMPLE
-
"Raise youre swords and bang your
heads cause Metal will never die!!!" I THINK THAT THESE WORDS ARE THE MOST
PROPER TO EXPRESS THE IDEOLOGY OF THIS BAND. HEAVY METAL ALL THE WAY...
1.HELLO, FIRST OF ALL MAKE A SHORT
PRESENTATION OF THE BAND. CAN YOU TELL ME WHO ARE THE FOUNDERS AND HOW
MANY ALBUMS YOU'VE RELEASED SO FAR?
-
Hello Nick, Cryonic Temple is a mix
between Heavy Metal and Power Metal , Esa and me (Johan) has been in the
band since it all started sometimes around -94 .We have released One Album
"Chapter I" and several demos.
2.CRYONIC TEMPLE IS A VERY STRANGE
NAME FOR A HEAVY/POWER METAL BAND. I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE MORE SUITABLE
TO AN INDUSTRIAL METAL BAND. HOW DID YOU CHOOSE IT? DOES IT HAVE A SPECIAL
MEANING TO YOU?
-
Well we had seen a program on tv that
was about people with deceases who froze them self down beliving that in
the future the people has invented a cure for the deceases.Then after a
rehearsal we discuss the program and we came up with the name Cryonic Temple.It
stands a little bit of humans stupidity in the quest of eternal life.
3.HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO MOVE FROM THE
PROG/GOTH METAL AREA TO HEAVY/POWER METAL? AREN'T YOU AFRAID THAT SOME
MIGHT ACCUSE YOU THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING TRENDS?
-
Whe we started to play Heavy Metal
in -95 there was no real big heavy metal scene so we din´t follow
any trends.We din´t decided to play Heavy Metal it all came natural
to us becuase many of the guys where more in to Heavy Metal than prog and
goth.
4.SWEDEN THESE PAST FEW YEARS HAS OFFERED
US MANY POWER METAL BANDS THAT MOST OF THEM, I SADLY ADMIT, DO NOTHING
MORE THAT COPY OLD AND SUCCESSFUL RECIPIES. IN WHICH FIELDS DO YOU THINK
CRYONIC TEMPLE DIFFER FROM THOSE BANDS?
-
Well we got blod gut´s and metal
in our hearts, Thats the different!!!!
5.YOU HAVE MANY CHANGES IN THE LINE
UP MAINLY CAUSE OF YOUR MUSICAL REDIRECTION. DID YOU FEEL AT ANY POINT
TIRED AND SAD CAUSE OF ALL THESE CHANGES AND YOU WANTED TO QUIT?
-
Well when our former bass player and
founder Mika told us he wanted to quit i feld great sadness, It came as
a big suprise to me, in that moment i feld that it was over.But after some
days i thought that i love to play metal so much so could´t just
give it up.But yes it´s hard when members drops out
6.YOU SAID THAT YOUR DEBUT ALBUM "CHAPTER
I" WAS RELEASED FROM UNDERGROUND SYMPHONY IN JANUARY 2002. HOWEVER, I HAVEN'T
STILL SEEN IT ANYWHERE IN THE GREEK METAL STORES. WAS IT RELEASED AFTER
ALL? TELL US A FEW THINGS ABOUT IT.
-
I know that you can buy the album in
geek but i dont know where.
7.WHAT ARE YOUR LYRICS TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT INSPIRES YOU AND WHAT TAKES AWAY THE INSPIRATION FROM YOU?
-
My lyrics is about me and my metalbrothers
who stand togeather and against the mainstream. "We are loaded with ale
and we are not for sale, Victory is near and we will celebrate with beer."
8.WHICH IS YOUR OPINION ON THE USE
OF MP3'S? WOULD YOU BE ANNOYED IF SOMEONE DOWNLOADED YOUR WHOLE ALBUM IN
AN MP3 FORMAT? ISN'T IT THE SAME LIKE COPYING THE ALBUM OF A BAND IN A
TAPE AND GIVING IT TO A FRIEND TO LISTEN TO IT (I THINK THAT ALL OF US
DID THIS AT A POINT)?
-
Hell yea it´s good promotion
but it would be great if everybody who like the album would buy it to promote
the band!!!

10.WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WEREN'T
ABLE TO COMPOSE MUSIC?
-
Well i should drink alot of beer and
listen to Heavy Metal!!!!
11.IF YOUR MUSIC WAS A FEELING WHAT
WOULD IT BE? IF IT WAS A PAINTING WHAT WOULD IT SHOW?
