Interview with Bestemmia Aeternalis done on 3-25-25

 

1.Hails please introduce yourselves to the readers?

I am Pablo bass and vocals.

With me is Hector guitars and vocals, and Joe drums and vocals.

2.When did you first discover black and death metal and what is it about these genres that drew you in?

Hector- we grew up in the era when it all started. In the 80s it's what all of our friends listened to. Death metal was better than thrash and black metal was so obscure and unique that it instantly sparked an intrest in our brains. Metal music has always been a part of us.

Pablo- I first heard this style in like 94-95. It was so different from the heavy metal stuff out there. It sounded so relatable to what I was feeling at the time. The first band I ever heard was Sepultura on my friends cassette. I was hooked.

3.Who were the first bands that you discovered? Who are some of the current bands that you are listening to?

Joe- some of the first bands that i discovered in the 80s were iron maiden, venom, merciful fate just to name a few.

Hector- me and Joe were always together and I discovered the same bands Joe did. We were introduced to bands like possessed, and morbid angel together. Right now there are days where we listen to something classic and other days where we listen to something new. It depends on the mood. Nothing in particular though.

4.When did you first meet the other members of the band? And was it long before you all started Bestemmia Aeternalis?

Pablo- I met Joe and Hector in 1997 through a mutual friend we all had. They had their own death metal band together and I had my black metal band with my high school brother Victor. Around 1999 Hector, Joe, Victor and I decided to start writing a few songs together and we felt this was the logical next step for all of us. It sounded different than what we were playing before.

5.Who would you say are the bands biggest influences and for the readers who have never heard the bands musical style how would you best describe it?

Joe- I would say influence comes from all different angles. From Deicide to Morgoth and Morbid Angel to Samael, it's an amazing collection of true metal. In a way, all bands have some type of influence whether it's good musical style or if it's something we know we don't want in our music. We each bring our individual music tastes to the table.

6.Forbearance In Opposition is the bands debut full length that was self-released? Do you plan to self release all of your music or would you like to find a label to work with soon?

Hector- we have self released everything we have worked on. We make a select number of prints and we sell them or send them out ourselves to fans, magazines, zines, blogs, you name it we're sending it on our own dime. We don't think we need a label but we've actually been in contact with a few to see how they can help out. Our goal with them is to get the music to the fans that are farther away. It's difficult to do everything on your own to try to keep the price to the fans low. If a suggested label should happen to show interest we entertain the idea and move on from there. But nothing set in stone yet.

7.How long did it take the band to write the music for the debut does the whole band take part in the writing process or does one member usually write everything?

Joe- It took approximately 1 year to write this album. We don't all live in the same city and it's hard to get together on a regular basis and bring in our submissions. When we do get together we all have ideas, and for the most part Hector and I write most of the music. We show Pablo what we have about halfway through a song and he puts in his own critique, like "make it sound more like this or try the drums like that". In the end it all comes together to make it sound the way we want. It's a formula that works for us.

8.Where does the band draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some subjects written about on the debut? Which usually comes first the music or the lyrics?

Joe- Hatred and death seem to have attached one another to the lyrical aspect of this album. Also our own life experiences seem to have allowed themselves to have been projected on to this album as well. Believing in ones self and not following the norm is the true form of inspiration. On this album the lyrics came at the same time as the music. Usually it's music first then lyrics after but during the creation of these songs the lyrics flowed out as the rhythms and beats were being created. I think inverted cross was the exception here. Hector wrote from his near death experience on this one and he sang it in unison with blasphemy.

9.If anyone is interested where can they find the Forbearance In Opposition release to buy a copy? Besides this release does the band have any other merchandise available? If yes what is available and where can the readers purchase it?

Pablo- the physical CD can be purchased through the big cartel site at bestemmiaaeternalis.bigcartel.com/ or by reaching out to one of us on social media. We have shirts, tank tops, battle flags, girly tops, hoodies, stickers and some other cool stuff on there from all the albums. Live shows are also a great place to get the Bestemmia merch fix. All music is on Spotify, YouTube, and all streaming platforms.

10.Has Bestemmia Aeternalis gotten the chance to play very many live shows over the years? If yes what have been some of the most memorable shows so far?

Pablo- We played so many live shows when we started. Now these days we limit ourselves to only a handful of live performances a year. We don't like to oversaturate the fans with our presence or they'll get tired of seeing us. For me two shows stand out as being very  memorable. We opened for Therion in San Antonio in early 2000s and the other is when we got the news Victor died. We were all on our way, in separate vehicles, to open for Devourment in Houston when we got word he was killed in an "accident" in our home town. Joe took the lead on drums and we asked our good friend Jorge from immortal remains to join us on vocals. We thought that would be a fitting tribute to our fallen brother and it's what he would have wanted.

11.Are their any tours or shows planned in support of the new release? If yes where will the band be playing?

Hector- we're planning something small for this album. Nothing set in stone yet. We're waiting on a response from several promoters and they're waiting on us also to get the ball rolling and at the same time we're also working on new material.

12.What does Underground Metal mean to you?

Joe- underground metal to me means freedom to play what you want. It's also a outlet for the trivial and the mundane. Most importantly it's a way of life, it's my life. It's what flows through my veins and it's what gives me the ability to keep on.

13.Bestemmia Aeternalis comes out of Texas black and death metal scene what is your opinion of the scene in Texas over the years?

Hector- The music scene here has always been outstanding. From Amarillo to Harlingen and from Hell Paso to Houston. There's so many bands that are a brotherhood. It is indeed a family. We've watched it grow so much since the 80s and no doubt that social media provided and aid in that growth. There's always the few bands that think they're better than everyone but for the most part I think everyone has at least some admiration for one another.

14.Who are your all-time favorite bands coming out of Texas?Are their any new bands that you feel the readers should check out soon?

Hector- Dallas has a great lineup coming out. They always have great bands. The Rio Grande Valley also has some great bands that are always worth checking out. And Houston never lets me down. There's a show every week in these parts. It's always a good idea to check all of them out. What’s good for me might not be good to you. Don't sleep on any of the bands coming out of these regions. There are groups dedicated to these cities and bands on Facebook like Houston metal scene and Dallas metal scene groups. Texas metal connection also has great band recommendations.

15.Do any of the members currently work with other bands or solo projects? If yes please tell the readers a little about them?

Pablo- we don't work on any other projects. We allot all our time and effort to this band. Any other projects would feel like it would be a distraction from what we are trying to create. We've all been approached by other musicians but we feel it would be a disservice to our fans to not give them 100%.

16.Thank you for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?

Pablo- thanks to all the fans and all the people that have given us a review or response on our latest form of art. We appreciate everyone whether it's a good review or a bad review. The music will always live on.

Hector- if you want us to play in city near you reach out to your local promoters and let them know you want us there. Sometimes the promoters don't always know what the fans want to see and hear. So make your voice heard.

Joe- don't forget to check out our merch and if you liked what you heard on this album please let us know on the social media platforms. We read everything and respond if you have questions. Stay true to yourself and always remember to follow the left hand path because it is the one true road.

Interview with Alexey drummer for Stalino done on 3-15-25

 

1.Hello Alexey how are you doing these days?Please introduce yourself to the readers?

 Greetings, Patrick, and all the readers of this magazine! My name is Alexey, I am the drummer of the band Stalino, I also played in the bands Endocranial, Datura, Bredor. At this stage, I'm back in business with Stalino, after a long forced pause. I play in a band, develop myself behind the drums, and give private lessons.

2.When did you first discover death metal music

 It didn't come right away, it all started with my love for Deep Purple 1970-72 albums when I was a kid, then I had an interest in Metallica, Slayer... Then I heard and fell in love with Cannibal Corpse, Death, Morbid Angel at the age of 13. A year later, I discovered Deeds Of Flesh, Pyrexia, Suffocation, Cryptopsy, and my worldview was fully formed...In general terms...

I like everything about this genre, this power-energy, the very taste of style, a huge field for creative freedom. Here you can really be yourself creatively. I've dedicated myself to this music, and I've literally been living it for 30 years now.

3.Who were the first bands that you discovered?Who  are some of the current bands that you have been listening to?

I answer to it in pervious question

4.When did you first meet the other members of the band?And was it long before you all started Stalino?What is the current line up of the band?

If we talk about the first line-up of Stalino, then I have been friends with bassist Yulick since the distant 1997th year. I had a chance to play with guitarist Vadim in 1999-2002 in the bands Bredor and Gloomimored. It just so happened that the first line-up consisted of three musicians from the old band Bredor.

In the new Stalino line-up, we have two active members of the Datura band. I should add that I also had the honor to play in this  band back in 2002-2006.

The new line-up is Dmitry Kufley - bass/vocals, Alexander Brodyanoy - guitar, and myself Alexey Tsypchenko - drums.

5.For the readers who have never heard Stalino's how would you best describe it?Who would you say are the bands biggest influences?

Stalino's music is largely based on constructive rhythmic structures, the foundation for us is the oldschool  brutal death metal, but not without tangible influences from more modern examples such as Defeated Sanity, Malignancy... We were also influenced by technical-death, mostly from the 90s, and partly by progmetal..

6.Worldview pierced By Euphoria is the bands second full length that was released in 2023.How long did it take the band to write the music for this release?Does the whole band take part in the writing process or does one member usually write everything?

The music for this album was written over the course of two years 2019-2021.

All the musicians took part in the composition of Stalino's music, and it should be added that the different songs on the album were written by different participants and different methods. Here are some examples... The track "Impact" was originally composed by me as a ready-made drum part for the entire song, then I dictated to the guitarist all the riff structures that I had conceived for this song ...

All the riffs for the song "Four Unaccountable Foundations" were invented by our bassist Dmitry, and then arranged by the rest of the members. The rest of the compositions were written jointly by the whole band, some of the material was composed with the previous guitarist Ivan Lozovsky, some with the new guitarist Alexander Brodyanoy.

7.Where does the band draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some of the topics written about Worldview pierced By Euphoria?Which usually comes first the music or the lyrics?

It happens differently with the frequency of concerts here. Regarding priorities, both aspects are important and loved by us! Recordings are held every few years, but concerts are more common.

8.If anyone is interested where can they find the Worldview pierced By Euphoria release to buy a copy?Besides this release does the band have any other merchandise availible?If yes what is availible and where can the readers purchase it?

Our new album was released on the Russian label Coyote Records in the Digipak CD format as well as in a cassette version. You can order it directly from our label, or search on other global labels where there was a distribution from Coyote.

Stalino also has another full-length album released in 2013 on the same label, which was also re-released in a limited edition in cassette format later in 2021 on the Dissonant Tapes label in the USA. Also, a Stalino/Datura/Bredor split was released on Coyote Records containing our rare recordings.

Our first EP of 2010, called "Conflict", was released on the Ukrainian label Eclectic Productions...

9.Has the band had time to start working on new music for the next release?How long does it usually take to complete one song?

Yes, of course, we are in the process of creating new music. It usually takes us from 2 to 4 months to create a single each composition.

10.Alexey you handle the drums for the band when did you first become interested in playing the drums?Are you self taught or did you have lessons when first starting out?

It just so happened that my first musical instrument was a guitar, which I practically abandoned as soon as I switched to drums. I started playing drums at the age of 13. It was a children's music school, after which I studied at a music college.But I must say that I learned a lot more on my own, listening to other drummers, fueled by the materials of video schools and music textbooks.

I would like to add that my superficial knowledge of guitar helps me a lot in terms of a deeper understanding of music in general, and a better mutual understanding with my bandmates.

11.Who  would you say are your  biggest influences and favorite drummers?

 I have too many of my favorite drummers. 30 or 50 at least, and it's not just metal drummers. I really love playing by Lille Gruber, Mike Heller, Romain Goulon, Flo Mounier, Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, Kevin Talley, Bobby Jarzombek, Gavin Harrison...

My musical mindset is made up of many things, I listen to various metal subgenres and other music too...

12.Besides working in Stalino do you or any of the other members currently work with any other bands or solo projects?If yes please tell the readers a little about them?

At the moment I only play Stalino, until recently I was also active with Endocranal. But my bandmates have the main band Datura too and several projects Megalodont, Steam Hammer, Imitation, Vanstorbing Insolobridishn, Imitation, The Gaz.

13.When you need to take a break from working on music related stuff  what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

In my free time, I mostly continue to be around music. This includes listening to my favorite albums and interesting new things too, watching educational videos, and movies about music. A lot of online and live communication with friends who have the same interests in metal music or drumming themes. Well, nothing mundane is alien to me, I like to travel, etc...

14..Thank you Alexey for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final words for the readers?

1 I just wish all the readers all the best! Support the metal scene as a whole, and your local scene in the first place, I see this as an important aspect! \m/

SEVI interview conducted by Catia"Caos" posted on 3-11-25

 

HAIL, it's an honor to introduce SEVI to our readers and to the world.

1- Could you tell us about your story, the path you've traced till nowadays? Who are Sevi?

Sevi- Well, it all started with the dream of two people -me and the bass player Rally. It wasn’t easy to draw our own path with original music and no serious background but we had the chance to work with amazing musicians during the years who believed in our dreams and step by step we wrote our story.

2- SEVI is the band's name and Svletanna's pseudonym. What's it like being the face of the band? How did it happen that you chose the same name for the band?

Sevi- Well, yes it was first just my stage name and then somehow naturally it became name of the band. I feel big responsibility being the “face” of the band. For me to be a lead singer is not just standing one step further on the poster. It makes me feel responsible for anything I say or write, or do, because it can affect the band’s reputation or fans. But I believe that the 4 of us are equal part of SEVI and we all are the band so whatever anyone of us makes or says it’s like it was said or done from the whole band.

3- What does SEVI stand for? And what message have you always wanted to transmit to the public with your art?

Sevi_ We stand for the inner strenght and the belief in the human power to change, to create and to fight for the truth. We are trying to be a personal example with our own lives for all the messages that we spread.

4- You're currently on tour. And you'll be playing in Portugal, and where else will you go on this tour? Any surprises for the fans?

Sevi- Yes, it’s our first time in Portugal and we are really excited. We will play in Estoril and Porto and before that we have a show in France.

Next steps are shows in Bulgaria, Croatia, Switzerland and some really interesting news are coming also but will be revield later on.

5- How has the tour been and what expectations do you have for future dates?

Sevi- Well, so far we were in Sweden and last November – Scotland, England and Belgium. We had a great time and met many new fans. We had the privilege to share stage with artists like Robin Mcauley, Dino Jelusick,Rick Altzi and his band, Hardline etc

6- In terms of albums, when is a new album coming out? Some inpsirations and ideias coming out to a new record?

Sevi – we are working on some new tracks but I guess we will start with some new singles first and the album maybe around 2026.

I would like to follow the mood of the last album “Genesis” because I think it was relly on the right direction for us.

7- When are you writing the new lyrics and producing the sound? What are your biggest musical influences as a band/artist and what inspires you to create new songs?

Sevi- Well, during the writing process I try to stay away from listening to other music because sometimes you can be too much influenced 😊 Usually what gives me inspiration are the things around me, life itself and my innder thoughts and dilemmas.

8- This year marks the 15th anniversary of the band's career, and in 2024 the song “World That Doesn't Fit” took the band to the top with a Grammy Nomination Considered in category Best Alternative Music Performance. What did you feel and how do you feel about such recognition?

Sevi- Well, that was a great honor especially for our anniversary. It gaves us a good feed back about where we are after all these years and a strong motivation to work harder.

9- In 15 years, you must have a lot of stories to tell. Is there one in particular that has made a mark on you? Funny or not, share it with us.

Sevi- wow they are so many and when it comes to an interview I can never think of one. For sure I will always remember the day that I opened my mail box and I had a message from Alice Cooper saying that he will play our track “Hate you” on his radio show.What an honor!

10- The album “Genesis” was released in 2023, and is considered to be a huge sonic boom. You're currently celebrating 15 years as a band and promoting the album. Congratulations anyway.

Any album is coming out? Anything new in the plans for the near future?

Sevi- Yes, as I mentioned we are slowly working on a fifth album but we will start with releasing couple of singles before that.

As for “Genesis” we are really happy with the feedback from fans and musical critics.

11- What message would you leave for future artists and our readers?

Sevi- Just be yourslef nomatter what you do and you can never go wrong.
