Interview with Eteritus done by Patrick
1.Hello when did you all first meet? Was it long before you all formed the band? How did you all choose the Eteritus as the band's name and does it have a special meaning?
We've actually met while forming the band, so no close prior acquaintances.
The bands name comes from the latin "Praeteritus" - neglected, ommited.
2.What is the current line-up of Eteritus and for the readers who have never heard the bands music how would you best describe it?
We've got Nitro waving the sticks in the general area of drums, Greg is the one with the van (bass player), Winter doing the actual fucking job (guitar), and Liam Tailor standing in the front trying to look nice (guitar, vocals).
Our style is probably best described as "Oldskull as fuck". Just listen to our promos and EP on Bandcamp for free, and You'll know what i mean.
3. Eteritus is getting ready to release their debut cd "Following The Ancient Path" through Godz Ov War Prod. how did you all come in contact with this label?
Through sending lots of e-mails and CDs to every label possible. That's how it's been always done, and that's how it's done now.
4.When writing new material does the whole band work on the music or does one member usually write everything?
The latter, but not quite. While most of the writing is usually done by one person, the lyrics are always written by a different one, and the drum lines and some riffs sometimes change during the rehearsals.
5.Who usually takes care of writing the lyrics for Eteritus and what are some subjects the band writes about?
Nitro and Liam Tailor write all the lyrics, with some input on verse placement from the rest.
We sometimes write about he philosophies of life and death, other times about mythical characters (e.g. - "Elder God" from EP "Tales of Death" is about C'thulhu). There are also some more generic topics like fear of dying/of living, basic instincts and emotions.
6.Does Eteritus get to play "live" very often? What have been some of the bands most memorable shows to date?
We seem to have a tendency for oscillating between a period of playing some gigs for a couple of months, and not playing any gigs for a couple of months. Nevertheless, we keep rehearsing and composing regulary, so You can expect new stuff coming up regularly ine the future. And the most memorable show is porobably the one in an actual, big bunker.
7.Are there any shows or tours coming up that the readers should watch out for? If yes where are some places the band will be performing and who are some bands you will be playing with?

9.In your opinion what is the best and worst thing about the underground scene today? And what does Underground metal mean to you?

And this is the worst thing about underground scene today...
