Interview with Dario Fabiani guitarist,Bass and vocalist for Necropoli done by Patrick
1.Dario thank you for taking the time to fill out this interview please introduce yourself to the readers.
thanks to you for taking the time to Necropoli again. my name is Fabiani Dario and i'm a multi-instrumentalist composer, creator and bearer of the musical project Necropoli and currently the only member in this project.
2.When did you first get the idea to form Necropoli? How did you come up with the name of the band? What is the current line up for Necropoli?
the idea of the project started with the old members of the project actually no more present, I gave the name to the project as an idea to enclose spirituality and the idea above the music of the Necropoli.
the line up is composed only by me and various musicians which I use for possible collaborations on stage.
3.For the readers who have never heard Necropoli how would you describe the music?
it's simply a mixture of emotions that are concentrated in a unique and mystique diversified way.
4.Necropoli recently released their debut E.P "I" digitally.How long did it take to write the music for the new songs? Where do you draw inspiration for the lyrics?
it's not an ep but an entire cd with over 50 minutes of music. It contains a year and a half of work. the lyrics are inspired by human and life factors.
5.How has the response been from the fans? What about the press? If anyone is interested in getting a copy where can the fans download it from?
the answer was positive and the listeners were very involved. the CD is available on our bandcamp here: https://necropoli.bandcamp.com/releases
6.I read that the band is currently working on a new E.P? How many songs will you put on the new E.P?
I'm working on the new ep trying different solutions and continuing the concept of the project opening it not necessarily to the funeral metal or similarity .. it will contain 2 or 4 songs still i do not know ...
7.Will it be a digital only release or have you all looked for a label to work with?
we looked for a label but we received no good proposals and someone who really believed in us. we are currently looking for a valid label.
8.Dario you live in the country of Italy what is your opinion of Italy's metal scene?
it is full of many valid artists but is represented by licking ass and small circles of aggregation that close the music in a narrow channels, this closed the music business and the art in Italy not allowing the escape of the music of all from my country.
9.Who are your some of your all time favorite Italian metal bands? Are their any new bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
arcturus, mudvayne and necropoli hahahaha...I don't find nothing at the moment to be able to tell to you.
10.Dario you handle the vocals the band when did you become interested in singing/growling? Is their anything special you do to keep your voice/throat healthy?
Who are some of your favorite vocalists?
i started singing 10 years ago singing various genres of music from metal to classical music, and experimenting also myself in growl and screaming.
advice blood orange for the throat ;) but primarily advice the vocal studies and the use of the diaphragm, the control of the voice and of our body to be able to sing well and not die.
1.Dario you also handle the guitars for the band when did you become interested in playing the guitars? Are you self taught or did you take lessons when first beginning?
I'm a guitarist for 20 years. I studied music and guitar for many years, switching from classic study up to electrical and beginning to compose from the age of about 11 years. I'm a guitarist.
12.Who are some of your influences/favorite guitarists? Do you currently play any other instruments?
I have too many and I'll tell you what I feel right now. I find it interesting what taking over the music of the 90s and without losing coherence unites the various musical genres come along in years. I am now affected by myself.
13.Dario are you currently working with any other side bands or solo projects? If yes please tell the readers about them?
i'm actually working with another black metal project which it's name is Orior. you will see more about necropoli and orior in the early future. this is the link for orior: www.facebook.com/oriorband
14.Thank you Dario for taking the time to do this interview.Do you have any final words for the readers?
thanks to you, keep breathing.

Abazagorath--The Satanic Verses cd {Eternal Death Rec.}
Abazagorath have been creating and releasing some classic black metal releases since 1996.And to be honest I lost touch with their career after their debut cd and recently got the new cd from Eternal Death Rec.But with their newest release "The Satanic Verses" sounds like Abazagorath haven't lost their touch still creating and executing fast and fierce black metal.Extremly fast and chaotic guitar riffs that do slow to a more mid-paced speed with some very good guitar chords and patterns before going back to hyperspeed riffs.The drumming is extremely well done with precise and fast blast beats but do slow it down to a more mid-paced range to keep up with the guitarist and keep the music fresh and aggressive.The vocalist does a great job with raw and raspy screams that are done with a lot of power and aggressive vocal patterns.This is one of Abazagorath's best release's that I have heard and if you are a fan of this band or just a fan of black metal then do yourself a favor and pick this up today.

Interview with Perdition Winds done by Patrick on 5-16-15
Dark Greetings
Here is a new interview with Finlands Perdition Winds talking about the Metal scene in Finland and their new cd "Aura Of Suffering" through Woodcut Rec. defintly a great black metal release and band so give this band a listen if you enjoy the cold blackend metal.
Regards

fiendformetal@live.com
J.E: I met R.Ä. around 2009 on our gig (Neutron Hammer) and sold him few records the said band. Little later I phoned him up and asked him to join us and he did. Rest of the guys I met some time after this at some gig probably. Can´t recall that too well, though.
I asked R.A. if he would be interested to form a primitive and raw Black Metal band with me since my departure from my previous band (Sacrilegious Impalement). It was logical to ask him since we both also played in Neutron Hammer at the time (Summer 2010). He J.K.A. and R.S. had previously jammed some actual PW riffs but it was laid to rest due to Lie In Ruins activity back then years ago. So it was logical to work on that old formula from the get go and few things led to another and Perdition Winds was born.
About the name, well I had a fascination on word Perdition and wanted to have that. So I gathered Perdition Winds sounded pretty decent name for our style. Simple as that.
I have a vision which I want to paint in words and then it must connect with suitable song to make it a whole.

Interview with Perdition Winds done by Patrick
1.Hails when did you first meet the other members of Perdition Winds ? When did you all decide to form the band? How did you all come up with the name for the band?
J.E: I met R.Ä. around 2009 on our gig (Neutron Hammer) and sold him few records the said band. Little later I phoned him up and asked him to join us and he did. Rest of the guys I met some time after this at some gig probably. Can´t recall that too well, though.

So it was logical to work on that old formula from the get go and few things led to another and Perdition Winds was born.
About the name, well I had a fascination on word Perdition and wanted to have that. So I gathered Perdition Winds sounded pretty decent name for our style. Simple as that.
2.What is the current line up for Perdition Winds ? For the readers who have never heard the band´s music how would you best describe it?
J.E: Line-up has been the same since the beginning: J.E. – Vocals / R.Ä. – Guitar / T.K. – Guitar / J.K.A. – Bass & backing vocals / R.S. – Drums & backing vocals
Perdition Winds is cold, harsh and primitive audio violence!
3.Perdition Winds has released their new release their debut cd "Aura Of Suffering" through the great label Woodcut Rec. how did the band come in contact with this great label?
J.E: It was released last year already. In fall of 2014.
We are still waiting for the vinyl version, though. Label was interested in our music and wanted to release it
hence the deal with them.
4.How long did it take to write and record the songs on the new cd "Aura Of Suffering"? Does the whole band work on the music or does one member usually write everything?
R.A: All the songs were written kind of fast in summer/autumn of 2013. At that time we were kind of busy with Lie in Ruins, so we didn't have time to start rehearsing these song before early 2014 during the rehearsals thw song found their true form, and all the recording stuff went pretty easily and fast. Usually me and T.K. Write all the music, bit at the end, wnhole band will join with oqn ideas.
5.Who usually writes the lyrics for the band? What are some topics/subjects you all write about?
J.E: I do most of the writing lyrics but also J.K.A. provided one piece (Gray) for last album.
Topics/themes of texts come from dark side of human mind such as war and murder and how that is connected with Devil. But also I write about my nightmarish visions beyond this mortal coil.
I have a vision which I want to paint in words and then it must connect with suitable song to make it a whole.
R.A.: Also sometimes the lyrics helps to get in the right mode, and make writing music easier for some songs. Some songs have get their birth that way. I read the lyrics and get the idea for the whole song, and the dong will come out pretty fast after that.
6.Has Perdition Winds ever played live or do you prefer to work in the studio? What have been some of your most memorable shows to date?
J.E: Yes we have performed live. Our most memorable show so far have been at “Turku Saatanalle III” with Mortuus,Devouring Star and Hoath. It was a night of Black Magic! I also look very much into performing with Sink and Dark Buddha Rising next week here in Helsinki.
7.Perdition Winds comes out of the mighty Finnish black metal scene what is your opinion of Finland's black metal scene?
J.E: Yeah it´s very good and strong musically speaking but I don´t like to socialize too much anymore. I tend to avoid going at shows nowadays too. There´s all those same drunken idiots and futile jibberish involved with people I don´t care for… I´d rather spend my spare time in good and valued company.
8.Who are your all-time favorite Finnish black metal bands? Are their any new bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
J.E: Beherit, Ride For Revenge, Archgoat, Flame, Impaled Nazarene, Exordium, Clandestine Blaze, Uncreation´s Dawn, Anxious Death, Annihilatus, Cornigr… I could point out more but uh!
9.What does the term Black Metal mean to you?
J.E: Satan´s Metal!

J.E: Yes, we all do. Our members are involved in: Lie In Ruins, Supreme Court, Neutron Hammer (on hold),
Desolate Shrine, Sepulchral Temple, Curse Eternal & Sacrilegious Impalement.

We are also on writing new stuff so beware!
12.Thank you all for taking the time to fill out this interview do you have any final words for the readers?
