• THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST STRANGE AND INTERESTING INTERVIEWS I HAVE MAD SINCE NOW. SOLEKAHN have a strange way of thinking, which i liked it a lot,,, I reccomend you to read this interview...

1.DAY ONE TILL TODAY. WHAT DO SOLEKAHN HAVE TO MENTION? GIVE A SHORT BIO OF THE BAND AND FOCUS ON THE GREATEST EVENTS OCCURING IN THE BAND.

• SOLEKAHN was born in 1994 with Khaos and Cedrik. Then some other musicians came like Algar and me today. SOLEKAHN played as much thrash metal as death or black metal. But today we play a mix of the three, our music.

• The band gives Solekahn a sense so wait and see.A band name should satisfy their members, that's it.

• Influences are metal bandfrom the beginning of the 90's  until now (maybe 70's who knows). Actually I think that lots more than music influence us. Exemple: I am influenced  by the food I eat. I admire none more than good musicians, I despise trends,  even if I admit that we build our foundations on a death metal style, therefore I despise lots of bands.

• The 'Suffering winds' were recorded and mixed in the Labyrinth studios by Khaos. Some of the stuff ordered for the recording took a very long time to arrive, that was very annoying.

• There's a demo sold-out. The sound is different due to the recording stuff, the songs were different, there's indeed an evolution in the composition.

• Lyrics are based on different levels: our dreams, feelings,the world we live in. I like tales where the reder chosses the moral, anyone believes what he wants, all the  symbols used have a precise signification. It's up to the listener to understand. Inspiration and absence of inspiration are brought by emotions I think.

• The cover is the struggle of Man, struggle to the  light.Maybe it's Calimero reaching maturity.

• We will struggle.

• The metal scene becomes very important, even in France where Rock culture is something unknown, here it's rather reggae hip-hop techno bad electronics TV-productions, and afro-cuban dance rhythms coming from the sun, for me our land is a musical nightmare. Here I like Archeus (black-metal)and a new doom-psychedelic band coming out of a trap in the cave??(never thought that people here kept interest in that kind of music!)both coming from Strasbourg. Otherwise I don't really feel interested in a new french metal band.

• I can't imagine this situation, since it's a good question; I can only suppose I would close myself to the world, or maybe leave it.

• I would like to visit different periods of history for their music(I'm obsessed) it would be before and after the 18th century, and before and after the 80's, that makes a lot of moments! But I would have time. In our time I miss the absence of TV and advertisings (coming straight from the same unsalubrious place). The consequences are bigger than we can think.

• The emotion would be a mirror reflecting your face asking you what's in your head. The cover of our CD is well done, so you can see here what you are searching for.

• Things vanished? That would be very easy to get rid of  what you don't like, that reminds me a consumer society, the customer is the king, he can do whatever he wants(with money) especially buy! then throw away! All this easily... Ok, I'm a consumer now, so let's get rid of 80% of human race and TV industry, sure!

• In France, the reaction of people have been important, it was a call. What does it means? Finally with a huge media-hammering,fascists lost the elections, they have even been crushed. Then people looked at each others with shame-who has lied? I think french have a heavy secret they don't want to speak about. We don't have any message about this problem in our music, I just think fascism would ruin any artistic ground.

• Thank you for your interest in SOLEKAHN and see you on tour...
