LVCYFIRE INTERVIEW

1.- When speaking of the English bands, the first thing that comes to mind are great names of metal such as: CRADLE OF FILTH, ONSLAUGHT, SABBAT, GRIM REAPER. Then the heavy metal legends as: JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH and IRON MAIDEN. All of them have leaving a great legacy into metal music. With all these names, what wants to give LUCIFYRE as sound and attitude as band to leave of legacy the future generations of metal? We never thought about next generation when we were creating. Our source is ancient so to be honest we feel like we are wakeing something primordial, awakening from long sleep the death and madness. Our goal on that case is to rise the Apocalypse, so there is no future. 2.-Speaking of bands, is difficult to find in the English metal scene BLACK/DEATH bands, it is not usual, LUCIFYRE is like a mole on top of a completely white body. Has it been difficult to create when playing find shows with bands of your style? How has been the response of the English media and the bangers for the sound of the band? With our style it is hard to not be alienated and to start with non of us is true English Man, we are all coming from different parts of the world, Poland, Portugal and Cyprus. So far we had very poor interest in here between the media and maniacs but things are seems to bee a little bit improving since our second offering "Sun Eater" is officially out. English scene never been so agressive since Adorior's "Author of Incest" but now i think we bring that to change and there is even more wrath behind it. 3.-The last great band I’ve heard and it is going by the style of LUCIFYRE band is ADORIOR (gods!). T. kAOS your being also member of this great Horde, What were your thoughts When you create LUCIFYRE? Do you think I am missing something in the creative part of ADORIOR that you want to carry out with LUCIFYRE? Wildness, Darkness and Wrath will be my unholy trio to ride Lvcifyre chariot. I want our music to be faster and as destructive as nuclear explosion wave. I could become what inside me for a while once i was riding under Adorior wings but there was a massive limits for me also since we had a problem to agree on songs structure riffs and arrangments so I dont think that there is anything to carry from Adorior , but it will be my style of playing that could bring similarity on mind.

4.- 3 members of the band belong to well known bands such as ADORIOR, NECROSADIST, ENTHRONED… How do you do with the rehearse times and live shows? Can LUCIFYRE be considered a parallel band? Im not involved anymore into Adorior ,last thing i did with them was show on Nuclear War Now to support Black Gods Blasphemy. Now Lvcifyre got all my focus. Menthor is very active with Enthroned so we share the drummer, as for Necrosadist at the moment it is more recording only band, there is no regular rehearsals on live activity, so no collision. 5.- In the creative and musical parts How do you do to try to create an own sound and does not have to sound similar to that or other bands of members of LUCIFYRE? LVCIFYRE is very solid monument that took his own path as a more organic/spiritual Consciousness that become to life once we channel with each other and few times we tried to design the sound for Lvcifyre but it was always rejected by His might and different path been choose, it is still follow our idea but in different textures ,more morbid and organic, the Living Death. 6.- The name of the band can be confused with LUCIFER. Do you have some questions such as those on the way by parts of bangers and media? Why did you choose this name? I feel more like this name choose us, its strike me with very strong impulse on one unexpected day, out of nowhere and i knew that this is it. Name starts haveing much more sens with time once we start to cultivate the power we raise. it is a Lucifer's Fire, Transcendental flame of black illumination, a formula of progress and gates into Dark Night of Soul. 7.-How often helped to the band to get a contract, the fact that the members belong to big names in the world death/black metal? I believe that it could be helpful if you play in the big band, but i believe that we manage to captured raw and dark atmosphere on "Dying Light of God" and Rodrigo got attracted by this and he offer us later on to release the full length which in the end had really poor promotion and we got not as much attention as we thought we will. Menthor played in Corpus Christi and i played in Adorior but they not a big names, this is still underground and Adorior had chance to play only very few shows, i mean people know the "Author of Incest" but thats when it starts and where its ends. Corpus Christi played lots of shows in the past but still non of this bands had big reputation like Blasphemy or Morbid Angel so Lvcifyre did not gain from our past but from our skills and visionary.

8-'DYING LIGHT OV GOD' their first EP, it was introduced in the underground circuit, this work is basically a death/black metal, dark and morbid work, how would you define it in a musical aspect waged speaking to previous works in his other bands? I will define exactly like you did Dark and Morbid work. There is something i really like about this EP , i can feel the purity of wrath, the young fire, the birth of devil child that now transform into monstrous might,the Proclamator of Black Messiah. So again i dont wont to ride on feedback from previous bands or extend their style to the next band, as for me they are nowhere near of Lvcifyre, dont get me wrong ,they are great band but very different.Black and Death Metal has same firmaments which is manifestation of our shadow emerged from our unconciousness. This specific sonic kind or style was created to praise Dark God/deities. I always was focusing and creating only within this style so i could not go for hard core crap like Decapitated or any other shit. We always learn and progress( some of us very slowly, they are waste) and i believe that through our journey we gain from situations that we were put on,so if i look back and compare my first true creation which Hodur- "Salve Satanas" to Adorior's "Author of Incest" you can hear similarity in way of playing a specially in Adorior's Iron Blood which almost entaierly belong to me. I think i learn something from Adorior so are they, now they could see a bit clearer what kind of playing fits them the best and i immerse under shadow of Lvcifyre. 9.-If you could to chose a track of this work to be known on this side of the world, would it be and why? Dying Light of God, why ,hm... Malign Cunt is showing more developed face of Lvcifyre style , so i will go reverse to return to morbid and primeval forms , the very uncontrolled ones,violent and evil. 10.-Listening to this work is basically DEATH/BLACK metal in the vein of the 90's with a fresh sound something like intermediate BEHEMOTH with the sound of bands such as DIABOLIC and SUMMON. I had the chance to read some reviews of the media and all of them calls to us like the new BEHEMOTH’s. Do you not have fear that they stereotype to the band or put them as a copy of that band? Would that they say to the media who thinks that band are followers of BEHEMOTH? Behemoth is massive band, mainstream Death Black Metal if you could say that, I'm not a follower of the band.Perhaps is the region where I and Nergal grow up, we are coming from the same city and i know him for years, maybe there is something in the water, something that i cannot hear, for me Lvcifyre is nowhere near Behemoth, but I'm not the one to judge.People need to classify, it's easier for them ,otherwise they will have to work out something new and to be honest so many been done. We are constantly compare to Morbid Angel,Immolation,early Vader and Behemoth, but that's not a problem thought. 11.-'THE CALLING DEPTHS', the last work does not change much of your first work. The music goes along the same way, with some improvements in composition doing a job more complete and complex. Tell us about this work in composition? Which were the influences?. How did you start this work in composition? When i meet Menthor we start working on this hard from the very begininng ,lots of rehearsals, few times a week.We were just keep writing lots of materials ,then we choose the best parts and start focusing on those.I dont remember if any bands were our inspiration i mean i love and respect true Death and Black Metal, but i dont think that there was any copy of whatever been done in past by other. We just been natural and honest.That i think is the best reciepie for any music. 12-Let's talk of something of your lyrics, with some suggestive titles like 'THE CALLING DEPTHS', SUCCUBI, is not difficult to think of a knowledge of dark literature as H.P LOVECRAFT, EDGAR ALLAN POE, etc... for inspiration to time of compose the lyrics, there’s a pre-work of literature or failing there are horror films? Or is something natural of morbid minds and insanity? What so important is ideological and defined path and with extensive knowledge of the black arts? Everything that express Darkness or shadow within get my antention , I think what is important is awakening and accaptance of Darkness within us , not castrating and running away.I admire LHP by Kenneth Grant, i think what he did for this path without patholgy or "grey evil" is truly inspiring. Of course Lovecraft is also the one i will own forever for knowledge he offer to us. Lvcifyre become a platform to me where i could present my experiences in that specific subjects and i think that everyone could see this differently since spiritual path is very private thing.

13.-Demonology is a thematic usually for you. I say that , for the case of track title ‘SUCCUBI’. The band members are followers or belong to some Satanic sect? Not to my knowledge. 14.-BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS, is a label that lately this launching some great hordes of black/death metal, example has ATOMIC CURSE and MASTER OF CRUELTY among others. How Did you contract with them? What was the main difficult dealings with the record label? There was not difficulties from Blood Harvest,Rodrigo did his job exactly as we agreed. Pulverized release CD with massive delay, that was more of concern to us by then. 15.-Your first Lp came out 2 years ago, What news we have in terms of new tracks and musical composition work, knowing that LUCIFYRE is a very technical band. What news additions are using on the tracks? We rehearse a lot,so our style progress ,become more focused and darker, probably less technical on guitar but more demanding on other instruments and vocals. Fruit of that work could be heard on our new album "Sun Eater". 16.-Speaking of music technic, Many people think that the majority of musicians of this genre do not have knowledge about it. For my taste the metal music, progressive and jazz, Is the trident of the music, with great talented musicians in the musical spectrum. Speaking as musicians, What kind of musical studies have you had? I never study music only the sound engineering for while but Menthor ,our drummer study music on full time and he got totally absorbed by Jazz and classical. 17.-A questions in the context of metal but out of the context of the band. What do you think about of a course of heavy metal that gives a University of England? What are your impressions about it? The movment in 80's was one of most important within the genre in UK but non of this were my favorite bands so it means nothing to me. I'm more into what happen later when Thrash,Black and Death Metal become to life. 18- If someone wants to go for first time to your show. What can expect from this? Intense and wrathful sonic waves of black boiling lava. 19.-Thank you for your participation in this EVIL zine. Do you want to leave some message to the dark music lovers?
