1.HOW WAS THE WHOLE BAND IDEA CREATED?
TURN BACK TO DAY ZERO TILL NOW AND BRIEF US. WHO ARE DEMON BLADE?
-
Demon Blade started as a project which
later turned into full time band. Demon Blade started in the summer of
2000. We all love Metal and wanted to just jam to good music. Demon Blade
is DIABLO - guitar, Dr SKULL - guitar and voice, MIKE LEVIATHAN - bass
and PSYCHO - drums.
2.HOW DID YOU SELECT THIS BAND NAME?
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SAY? IS YOUR MUSIC AND LYRICS, PERHAPS AS SHARP AS
A DEMON'S BLADE?
-
Ah! Well to be honest , I guess Demon
Blade was to be the blade used to destroy all posers!! Ha ha!! actually
I thought the name fitted our style of playing I would say.
3.HOW MANY RELEASES DO YOU HAVE? INFORM
US ABOUT THEM. ARE YOU STILL SATISFIED WITH THEM OR DO YOU THINK THINGS
COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BETTER AND IN WHICH FIELD?
-
Demon Blade has one demo containing
some songs that later were put in our album entitled "LEGIONS". The album
LEGIONS is not currently available but will be real soon with better production.
Demon Blade is also working on finishing off the new album titled "GUERRA
ETERNA" meaning Eternal War, which is our best effort yet. The songs will
be faster like old school metal with some crunch to it. We are quite happy
so far of how things are going with the albums , we just thought "Legions"
needed a little more time in the mixing.
4.WHICH IS THE BANDS MUSICAL DIRECTION?
WHICH ARE YOUR INFLUENCES?
-
I would like to keep the music fast
and heavy at this point. Our influences range from Exodus , Testament,
Exciter, Sabbath, Atrophy and Venom. Old school shit!!!!
5.WHAT ARE YOUR LYRICS TALKING ABOUT?
DO YOU THINK THAT LYRICS SHOULD HELP PEOPLE ESCAPE REALITY OR SHAKE THEM
AND MAKE THEM REALIZE THINGS?
-
On the first album the lyrics talked
more of the end of the world. I have always wondered how our planet will
end. On the second disc we touched various topics like war, religon and
murder. I want people to realize the fucked up shit that happens everyday
in this life time.
6.WHAT DOES HEAVY METAL MEAN FOR YOU?
DO YOU THINK THAT METAL SHOULD HAVE ITS LIMITS OR SHOULD IT BE ENRICHED
BY OTHER GENRES AS WELL?
-
Heavy metal is a way of expessing myself
of my deepest thoughts. There are no limits to Metal. It is an on going
legacy that can never be stopped!!
7.WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THOSE
PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT METAL IS DEAD AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS PLAYED BY THE
OLD BANDS AND NEW ONES JUST COPY SUCCESFULL OLD RECIPIES?
-
Well Metal is not dead people! Lets
get this straight. The problem these days is that many people have a one
track mine to what they want to listen to. Example some say Iced Earth
is metal, others say Manson is the God of Metal and then theres people
who say Slayer is metal. Well people All these bands including Cannibal
Corpse,King Diamond,Sabbath, and so on are all metal in their own way.
They only have different styles. There are a lot of good bands out there
that people dont know about. People should look uderground once in a while
and check out bands from the underground. So what that they aren't on Metal
Maniacs or Metal Edge so fucking what!! Wanna see a cool mag? Check out
Metal Curse magazine at www.cursedproductions.com. METAL IS NOT DEAD!!!!!!
8.IF YOUR MUSIC WAS A SENTIMENT WHAT
WOULD IT BE AND IF IT WAS PAINTING WHAT WOULD IT SHOW?
-
ANGER , FEAR and HATRED!! As
for the painting. It would have to be a portrait of a Satan and God playing
tug of war over earth.
9.WHICH HERO WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE AND
WHY?
-
GHOST RIDER because he is the spirit
of vengeance.
10.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...
11.WHY DO YOU THINK THAT METAL MUSIC
HAS SO MANY ENEMIES? WHY DO YOU THINK THAT MEDIA TRY O TWIST THINGS AROUND
REGARDING HEAVY METAL?
-
Metal has always been feared by the
media because of its barbaric approach. They envy metal and hate the fact
that its slowly taking over many young souls.
12.FOR WHICH BOOK WOULD YOU LIKE TO
MAKE A MOVIE AND COMPOSE THE SOUNDTRACK?
