DO YOU REMEMBER YOURSELF WORKING ON ADEMO RECORDING, HAVE YOU THOUGHTABOUT WHAT HAS CHANGED IN YOUR SOUND?The demo feels like it was years ago.

To sum it up, we did it in anafternoon in our practice room. We

had no great idea what we were doing

other than making a noise and seeing

if it came out on the other side. The

sound has unmistakably changed due to

the nature of the recordings. We had

a sound that was very raw and

incredibly filthy but we felt that it

just wasn't a true representation of

the music. We wondered about how thenew album would be received given the

fact that it sounds noticeably

different, but so far we have been

given a fairly good reception.

3 SONGS FROM YOUR DEMO INCLUDED INYOUR LATEST RECORD HOLY GIANTSDESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU HATE THESESONGS (ACCORDING TO CHORDBLOSSOM.COM,HOLY GIANTS REVIEW). WHAT WAS THEDIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMO AND NEW ALBUMRECORDING SESSION? DOES CERTAIN(DEMO) SONGS HAD NEW APPROACH ANDACQUIRED A NEW SOUND SHAPE?We don't hate the songs themselves

but rather the production of them.

When we first recorded the demos we

were actually surprised with the

quality we could get playing entirely

live in one room with everything

plugged straight into a digital 8-track. But after a while we grew to

dislike them and I think we felt more

unsatisfied with these tracks, hence

why we were eager to get them re-

recorded, which was always our

intention anyway. Maybe some fans

prefer the demo versions and maybe we

will dust off the old 8-track

someday, but at the moment we are

feeling good about the new album.The songs really hadn't changed much,

maybe some focus on additional synth

and a second guitar track, but

nothing really in the way of

structure. One particular and most

noticeable difference to the sound is

the massive presence of bass. NiallDoran (Sound Engineer/Mixer)

suggested we use this homemade large

diameter sub microphone on the bass

cab solely to pick up those lower

frequencies. We wanted that huge

It gave the album a huge physicalpresence which is why we would

strongly encourage playing it on abig system at silly volumes.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO DARE TO SAY WHATYOU THINK & BELIEVE - WHAT ARE THEBASIC THINGS YOU WANTED TO SAY WITHTHE HOLY GIANTS SONG TITLES ANDWHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THISRECORDING?Our track themes are a borrowed andcreated mixture of folklore &

mythology, sometimes mixed with

satirical commentary on life and the

human species (DFWG). We will admit

we are not profound wordsmiths and

prefer vagueness and mystery over a

solid statement. I personally favour

the ambiguity of our material and

feel that it forces the listener to

think a bit deeper and to draw theirown conclusions. For instance, a lot

of media is fed to us with bits of

information which we readily accept

without question; by blatantly not

telling people, we aim to mislead the

audience and force them to form their

own ideas and conclusions. Whether

their conclusions are right or wrong

is not the point. As far as the

message goes, I guess in our own waywe are saying that we despise

peoples actions due to their

OVERPOWERING SOUND YOU GET LIVE WHICH CAN TOTALLY

SATURATE THE LISTENER AND PUT THEM IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

PLACE.

selfish, destructive and illogical

traits (Burning Planets). This can be

somewhat attributed to what really

controls them and that is a sense of

fear (An Accepted Human Condition)which strives to distort and manipulate

their outlook; but what we really want

to say is that it doesnt have to

actually be like this.

YOU CERTAINLY HAVE HAD AN INTEREST INNOT ONLY CREATE A MUSIC GREATIMPORTANCE GOES TO THE ARTWORK THATUNIQUELY COMPLEMENTS THE HOLYGIANTS. HOW MUCH HOLY GIANTS WASINSPIRED BY THE PLACE IN WHICH YOULIVE?I think like many other bands our music

is not so much about the songs we play

but the atmosphere created when we play

them. This can be added to in many ways

but one of the most obvious is artwork.

We spent quite a long time planning and

designing all the different elements of

our artwork and trying to create a

cohesive image for the band. Having twographic designers in the band was

probably a big factor in this too!

This naturally led us to a place called

Giants Ring in Belfast, an iron age

earthwork bank and dolmen. It

encapsulated the ancient, the

monolithic and the ritualistic aspects

of our music as well as keeping our

link with Giants.

As far as where we live influencing our

music, Belfast ends up in the press for

all the wrong reasons usually, however

this is mostly due to the idiotic

minority of its population who still

believe stories about a dead man on a

cross supposedly some 2000 years ago. I

would say a lot of the anger in our

music is directed at these small mindsand our general dismay at their

inability to move forward and progress.

WE WANTED THE ALBUM ARTWORK TO REFLECT OUR LYRICAL THEMES

AND US AS A BAND.

On the other hand the folklore of

Ireland has coloured a lot of our

music with tales of giants such as

Balor or the Fomorians, we like to

think of them returning as anavenging force for common sense,

rationality and intelligence.

WHAT WAS THE TOUGHEST WORKING ON ANEW RECORD? IS THERE ANY MATERIALTHAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LATESTRECORD?I don't think that anything was

particularly tough.

We had rehearsed well and were

completely focused on getting therecord down. If anything it was

easier than recording the demo

because everything was set up and

handled for us, leaving us just to

play. Nothing was left out because we

worked solely to produce the material

we had. If we had been unsure about

anything, it would have been scrapped

a long time before the sessions. One

song in particular that we had beenplaying live around the time we

recorded the demo, we quickly grew to

hate. So eventually we chopped it up,

mixed it and it became Burning

Planets which we are much happierwith.

HOLY GIANTS AVAILABLE AS DIGITAL,CD, CASSETTE, VINYL?It is available for download throughour bandcamp for free. People have

been incredibly nice and given us

money for something they could have

just taken, so we really appreciate

it. On the other hand if you download

it for free you are legally obliged

to distribute it for us.

We also have a limited run of CDs

which have been screen-printed by our

own fair hands so every one of them

is unique and somewhat more personal.

There is also a small run of tapes

coming out from Ulterior

Records/Tapes

(http://ulteriortapes.wordpress.com/)

in Germany. These will be found on

our site as well as various distros,so keep an eye out.

No sign of a vinyl release yet! It is

probably safe to say it is our life

mission to get an album onto such a

prestigious format. I guess this is

the part where we beg for help ha ha

ha...no really, someone help us make

this happen.

LATVIAN

CULTUREUNDERGROUND

THE MEDIA

..Latvian underground subculture spread through different

distribution routes. Each culture was characterized by their most

commonly used form of distribution. The most common and most

convenient way was to spread culture through mass media, but in

terms of underground culture, it would be foolish and inaccurate

to use the term because it included the name of the opposition in

the underground culture - the mass.

In the early 90s, circulation of information in Latvianunderground culture was very slow and irregular. Unlike today, at

that time the internet and mobile phones were not widely

available. Flow of information was mainly in the form of letters

and other postal form - cassette, zines, and so on.

NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINESUnderground culture-related publications can be divided into

several levels. The mainstream culture extended to magazines

*Liesma (Flame) and *Draugs (Friend). Information was irregular,

however, from time to time there appeared some underground culturerelated article. At this level occasionally the major newspapers

contained some information. For example, a newspaper *Rgas Balss

(Riga Voice), published on Wednesdays, featured an articleentitled *ieelis (Brick), written by Raitis Sametis (at the

beginning of 90s, Raitis Sametis for a short time also wrote

about music to the newspaper *Pilsta (City)). Uldis Rudaks wrote

about music to *Diena (The Day) newspaper and its annexes

*Izklaide (Entertainment) and *Sestdiena (Saturday), in the late90s Sandris Vanzovis to *Neatkarg Rta Avze (Independent

Daily Newspaper).

Another worth mentioning FF magazine, which began to come out

in the late 90s, had a good polygraphic, on average 80 pages,

which provided information on foreign independent bands, extreme

sports, lifestyle and sometimes an article devoted to Latvian

musicians. For example the 1999 June edition appeared an article

called Underground vs. Mainstream, comparing such bands as

Inokentijs Mrpls and *Prta Vtra (Brainstorm). Later in 99

the magazine went bankrupt. The FF magazine unofficial sequel was

stylistically and substantively similar Veto Magazine, JnisVolkinteins successfully continues to issue new magazine series.

The other ones, such newspapers as *Pastnieku Iela (Postman

Street), *Pastnieku Avnija (Postman Avenue), *Parks (The Park),

*Iela (The Street), *101 Avnija (101 Avenue), Una and similar

newspapers which, although not very popular, were actively

acquired and read by the younger generation. Information on these

publications is diverse and kaleidoscopic. Mostly wrote about

foreign musicians, in addition, one work can be found next to the

articles about good independent musicians and artists from the

very pinnacle of the mainstream. If these publications werewritten about Latvian musicians, they were inevitably compared

with foreign musicians. Often these comparisons were inaccurate.

However, this magazine role in the development of Latvian music is

undeniable, as it was at least some kind of source of information

- what each did with the information was in his hands. An example

is Kuldgas underground scene member Edgar Embergs article

Kas tad ir tas NEKAC? - Things of interest to us at the time

were slightly affected in two public press - Pastnieku Iela (later

Pastnieku Avnija) and music newspaper Una.

Zines was the inextricable link with the underground culture. Thispart is difficult to identify, because these were not published

officially, they had a very small print run, so it would be futile

to look for them in the library archives. Zines were a very

interesting part of the underground culture as it has been created

by underground culture representatives, where you can read about

what they thought, what was worth describing. Mostly they featured

8/13/2019 Archiv Hate 0613

19/44

different articles record reviews, other zine criticism, gig

reviews, interviews and translated texts about foreign bands or

articles on social and political topics. Zines were considered as

the DIY culture. Usually made by hand, often handwritten and

reproduced in black and white A4 pages. Most important of them -Dga, Tora Orgns (Rga, Tornis), *Vilks (Wolf), SOS in Big

(Kuldga, KAMPA, NeKAC), Bezumec (Salaspils, Kos), *Miera Tors

(Peace Thor) (Smiltene), Debil Farmer (Rga, Mikimauss), likely

there were also many others.Poor quality zine copies were difficult to read as they could be

written in easy to understand handwriting but article writers

often did not find it necessary to subscribe and pages werent

numbered. The information was very heterogeneous.

I mentioned some interesting but unconfirmed facts about

Bezumec. Bezumec zine, published in Russian. It has become a

powerful source of influence to zine publishers in Russia, and was

the first punk / hc zine in Russia. It is better quality than the

other riveted sheets, pages numbered, information and layout

easily understandable.

And thanks to Artrs Jakovevs (aka. Apdjs), I got my hands on

an interesting edition of Tales of Beverin - The Only Zine Of

Unlight Music In Latvia (volume #1 the dawn of 1997), which is

significantly different from the classic DIY zines, proudly

written on the cover 40 A4 pages and more than 120 pictures.

The zine is entirely in English, features Latvian and foreign

metal bands, record reviews and interviews.

As summary of the press, I want to offer an article from Vilks

zine - Small reflection of the Latvian rock publicists anabridged version Most regular - some rock news from RgasBalss, Wednesdays brick. Its a good idea, unless the

author Sametis R. would be absolutely incompetent in matters of

which he writes. He and his fantastically complex artistic

endeavour epithets to describe music becomes devilishly funny. In

addition, quite unforgivable is the fact mixing.

2 Absolutely chaotic Draugs zine articles, where equally coexistGrindmaster Dead, girls' puberty problems, Bet Bet tips for

anglers and Joy Division. In addition, materials published in the

zine is out of date.3 Iela - totally unpalatable edition. Totalpop, although it also has people interest who would like to

freshen up with an old or current indie punk band biographies.

This can all be read in encyclopedias, it is not of interest to

the reader.4 Century of great frustration - Pastnieka Avnijawith insufferable Agnis Buds in the tip. The long-awaited first

number that looks like a Draugs zine good printed version. Notrace of the former distinctive style.

Well as seen - really nothing. It is very sad, even in front of

Lithuanian brothers. There almost every issue is better, more or

less. Logically, the main obstacle here is the publishing options,

but it does not prevent to make a magazine layout, xerox copy a

few dozen copies.

Keen and accurate expression, often without holding firmly to the

Latvian language norms, is common in zine articles. As for zines

it tends to be, article has not signed by author, but most likelyit was created by Edgar Embergs.

GRAVESTONEDEMO2013The first song "Behead the

Bastard" reminds me of Stormcrow.

Which kind of makes me think.

Is Sweden getting more crusty/d-

beat or is crust/d-beat getting

more Swedish?

Hah!

Anyway, good stuff.

The second song "Rotten Kill" is

some classic sounding Swedish

Death Metal.Check it out if you like that

sort of thing, I promise you

won't be disappointed.

KLGADEMO2012So I guess this was released a

year and a half or so ago.

January 25th, 2012.

I just found this today.

Interesting black metal if you

consider what they do black

metal.

I guess it has one of the guys

from Panopticon in it.

Not bad stuff.

A half hour or so of listening toit and I didn't get bored with

it.

I don't know a lot of newer black

metal I usually get bored with

pretty easily.

But this one I didn't.

But then again it's debatable if

you want to consider it black

metal.

RABM is where I guess it would

fall under if you had to place it

somewhere.

But yeah, something really worth

giving a listen.I was quite surprised with it.

SEQUENCE 5, FUTURESEQUENCEVA COMPILATION 2013So I was digging around somewhere

one day when I came across this.

42 songs of ambient, experimental

or whatever people want to call

it these days.

I'm old so I still call it

ambient.

The page says it's experimental

but I don't really consider this

experimental.

It feels more ambient to me.Live footage of say Merzbow,

that's experimental to me.

Old Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret

Voltaire that's experimental to

me.

Even though lots of others say

they're industrial but meh,

whatever.

Anyway, if you feel like getting

your mellow on and get lost in

the various regions of space in

your head.

This is some really good stuff to

listen to while doing it.Or even while sitting around at a

coffee shop starting at the sky.

It would be good for that too.

Plus there are 42 tracks so you

don't have to hit repeat, unless

you want to.

So check it out.

If you like mellow electronic

stuff it's worth giving a listen

to.

MEPHORASHCHALICE OF THAGIRION2012So I think it was a couple weeks

ago when I first downloaded this.

Since then it has been a constant

on my playlist.

Really fucking great black metal.

Or as Jon Ndtveidt (RIP) of the

infamous Dissection likes to call

metal such as this, "Blackened

metal of death".

Either way, this is some fucking

bad ass stuff.Not as technical as say

Dissectionis.

But the brutality, the ferocity,

and all the other fun words used

to describe black metal are

there.

So be sure to listen if you like

your metal black, brutal, and

cold.

Oh they also released a 10" vinyl

this year also.

Mephorash - Opus Serpens

There's a link for that on the

page.Give that a listen also.

SAGORITHWITHIN DIABOLIC REALMS:DEMO2010Well fuck, it seems as though

black metal has entered the

Navajo Reservation.

No more native american flute

music for these guys.

Although I'm sure that will enter

their music as the years pass.

Just some straight cold black

metal from the hot deserts of the

Navajo Rez.

Well the summers are hot, winters

are kind of chilly.

But anyway, musically it's mostly

only 2 songs that are actually

cold black metal.

Northern Plague and Journey From

Darkness.

The other two (It's a 4 song

demo) are instrumental acoustic.

Really good stuff.

I'm surprised that this is coming

from the reservation.

Most everyone I know down that

way are either all "gangsta" or

just being I guess some what

normal.

Normal as you can be for being

Navajo and trying to keep

traditions alive.

But yeah check it out.

I was highly impressed with it.

NICK MILLEVOIIN WHITE SKY2012Dang how to describe this?

Catchy, Drony, Ambient, Noise,

Something.

Something really great to listen

to while smoking some weed and

it's raining outside and you

happen to be in the Seattle or

where ever it's mostly cloudy.

I didn't really know what to

expect when I checked this out.

I was hoping from some doom.But instead I got something else.

Really cool really catchy stuff,

if you like droning guitar and

ambient noise.

Really worth giving a listen to.

Especially after smoking a bowl

and while watching the clouds

pass over head on a wet rainy

day.

Or at least that's what it

reminds me of anyway.

I'll let you decide, give it a

listen though.

+ WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO?My full name is Luciana Nedelea, and I currently live in

Transylvania. During my lifetime Ive been drawn to four main

subjects which seem to be the pillars of my life: Music, Art,

History and Spirituality. These four subjects inspire me

continuously. I began studying violin/piano/music in my early

years, at the age of 7, when I was also introduced to art. Sinceit was a school for music and art I was always surrounded by

artists and I was really fascinated by them. As I grew up, after

studying violin for eight years, even though I loved it very much,

I felt like I had to do something I felt a stronger connection to.

That was the moment when I decided to study Art, at the age of 14.

When I graduated Highschool, I then made another decision which

would later have a big impact on my work: I decided that the only

thing I wanted to become, was an archaeologist and I am currently

also applying for PHD in the same field (History and

Civilization/Archaeology). Studying does take a lot from my freetime, but I try to draw/paint every free minute I have.

+ WHEN DID YOU DISCOVERED THAT CREATING SOMETHING IS WHAT YOU HADTO DO? WHAT INSPIRED YOU?As an infant I would always draw, butchering my fathers favorite

books by drawing stick princesses on the pages. It is something I

was born to do, something that was meant to be a big part of my

life. As Nietzsche once said Without music, life would be a

mistake, for me life without art would be rather trist and

useless. It is a form of expressing myself.The people that inspire me to create art come from various fields,

not only art. At first, as a teenager I had an obsession with

Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance artists and later on I was

fascinated by Salvador Dali, Gustave Dore, Gustave Moreau,

Zdzislaw Beksinski, Edward Gorey, Michael Hussar, Alex Grey,

William Blake, Francis Bacon and so on. Other people that were a

true inspiration for me and dont exactly fit in the art field

but they are related to sacred geometry/occultism: Giordano Bruno,

Johannes Kepler, Aleister Crowley and many others.

+YOUR ARTWORK REPRESENT A VARIETY OF ART STYLES, EACH HAVE ADIFFERENT ONE - FAUVE, DADAISM, SURREALISM, EXPRESSIONISM. WHATART DO YOU MOST IDENTIFY WITH?I work with a lot of styles, I do not like to stick with only one

technique, and everything I do should come naturally. If an idea

requires a certain style, then I will express it with the best

technique that will capture its main essence. But if you were to

analyze my current works, I would say that surrealism defines them

best.

+SKULLS & BONES, SIGILS AND DARK CREATURES - THEMES YOU PURSUE?I work with themes that will express an archaic feeling, bordering

the occult. You will see a lot of alchemical/hermetic/occult

symbols in my work, ancient writing and languages, subjects from

different ancient religions and civilizations. I like to paint my

concepts about life and death and everything related to it. I

always put all my knowledge into my artworks, everything I deem

worthy of being put into a beautiful context and shape. My works

are materializations of my thoughts. The dark creatures, I would

say they are mostly demons or gods and I would never really go

into kitsch, drawing something I came up with. It is mostly themes

that are very well documented and you will always find a hiddenmessage in my drawings/paintings. I like it when I am able to get

people to stop for a few minutes to look at my work and to think,

to link all the forms and symbols with each other, which will

eventually communicate a message to them.

+YOU WORKED WITH SUCH BANDS AS ENBILULUGUGAL (BLACK METAL/NOISE -US), COLDBORN (ATMOSPHERIC BLACK METAL - BELGIUM), DELIRIO OCCULTO(BLACK METAL/ITALY) AND FISTULA (SLUDGE/DOOM US) THESE AREON YOUR DAILY PLAYLIST?My daily playlist looks a bit different. I started working with

bands only one year ago and it is mostly requests from the

bands/band members. They always tell me what the main idea is and

I try to work with it. I must be honest that before they came to

me, I didnt know about the existence of some of the bands I

worked with, they are mainly underground metal bands. On the other

hand I felt honoured when the guys from Fistula and Highland asked

me to work with them, I was and still am a fan of their work and

you will find that indeed in my playlist.

recent artwork, which was made for Highland (Black Metal/ USA). It

is a t-shirt/poster design which represents the 7 princes of hell,

for their 2013 album and future concerts. You can find it on their

Official Page on FB.

+THINKING YOU'RE IMMORTAL IS WEIRDLY SIMILAR TO BEINGIMMORTAL. - DOUG COUPLAND. WHICH OF THE REAL TIME ARTISTS SHOULDBE IMMORTAL?I will be a snob and very honest and will say: Myself. I dont

want my tombstone to be the only thing that will remind of myexistence. I want to live forever with the help of my art.

SYNSOPHONY IS A DUO HAILING FROM THEUK, FORMED EARLY IN 2013. WHATS THEHISTORY OF THE BAND?TOM Both Ollie and myself areuniversity students, and met at uni.Basically, Id spent a vacation

fiddling around with some recordings,

and had created something I felt was

pretty cool. I got Ollie in on it,

and the suggestions and additions he

made led to the first Synsophony

demo. From there, we got in touch

with Acephale Winter, and the rest is

history.

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE BANDNAME?TOM Youll have to forgive a bit ofword play on this one It all began

with Sisyphus, the unfortunate Greek

who for the rest of eternity is

rolling a boulder up a hill, only for

it to roll back down and kill him.

Mix his name with symphony, add

an n for nicer pronunciation, andyou get Synsophony. After all, we

were naming a project about to debut

with a 23 minute long experimental

drone right?

WHAT DREW YOU TO AMBIENT / DRONE /NOISE? DID YOU HAVE ANY PROJECTSBEFORE THE SYNSOPHONY?OLLIE Not really: I'd jammed withmates in the past, but never got any

serious project together, andcertainly nothing in this vein. I've

always enjoyed really immersive,

weird-sounding things, though, and

when I heard what Tom had put

together so far I loved the sound and

atmosphere of it, and the way it

seemed to swallow you up, and I was

honoured to be a part of it.

TOM I used to be in a very casual,largely improvised psychedelicconcept band. The other main guy in

the band was/is an illustrator, and

so we combined music and art. With

that we got Earnest and the Pea

(the name of the band, and the 2

characters we wrote about) a bandcreating music which followed 2 alien

space agents, and their mission to

earth. A very different sort of

psychedelic to Synsophony, far more

light hearted, but just as

experimental. The drawings were great

fun too.

KARMIC EXISTENCE IS DARKPSYCHEDELIC 23 MINUTE LONG MADNESSCREATED WITH CELLO, HARMONICA,GUITARS, PIANO, VOCALS.TOM Exactly we place our mainemphasis on the psychedelic, but both

being inspired by industrial/dark

ambient/black metal, the psychedelic

we create tends to be pretty dark and

evil! I am currently really

interested in how repetition can

create a very psychedelic effect

for example, I find Phillip Glass

Metamorphoses simply mesmerizing. So

yes, I hope to incorporate

repetitious song structure and riffs

into industrial, dark ambient music,

hopefully with a psychedelic outcome!

OLLIE Yeah, I think we used ourinstruments to good effect in the EP.

In future releases, I think it'd be

nice to hear the instruments stand

out in their own right a little more,

maybe incorporate melodies and a more

natural sound. We'll see.

BLOG-WORLD FLOODED KARMICEXISTENCE WITH TONS OF GOODREVIEWS. YOUR FAVOURITE COMMENTS ONTHIS PARTICULAR RELEASE?TOM Ah, its tricky, especially aswe are grateful to all the bloggers

who took time to listen to, and writeabout our EP! The bloggers which

offer us criticism are always most

appreciated, as it shows that they

have put a lot of thought into our

music. Black Metal and Brews likened

our EP to the collapse of reality,and a descent into madness, which

Ollie and I both enjoyed and agreed

with!

OLLIE I really enjoyed that too, justknowing we'd done what we set out to

do. I also rather enjoyed The Siren's

Sound's comments wherein they pointed

out that, while Karmic Existenceis

very angsty and harrowing, it really

can be quite relaxing if you feellike immersing yourself in something

dark and abstract. Cause it's

true, if you're willing to go with

it, that evil sound can be quite

relaxing in a strange sort of way.

WHOS BEHIND THE COVER ART OFKARMIC EXISTENCE? ITS RELEASEDONLY DIGITALLY, BUT I WOULD LIKE TOSEE IT OUT ON VINYL, PACKED IN AWOODEN BOX, WITH BURNED IN SYMBOLS,LOOKING AMAZING.TOM An artist called Talia Robertson.She studies at the same college as

Ollie and me; Cambridge is a hub for

artists, so were really lucky in

that respect! We are currently

experimenting with physical formats

in fact most likely a gatefold

floppy disk (!) But yes, Talias

artwork is fantastic, and I too would

love to see it in physical format.

Amish Gir also deserves a big mention

for kindly designing our logo.

OLLIE Yeah, Talia and Amish have beenfantastic with creating some awesome

art to accompany our music. Talia

makes a lot of wood-burns and such,

and we've linked to her shop,

PictsieCrafts, from our Facebook if

you're interested. A physical release

would be awesome, and vinyl is the

dream: Tom and I are both big fans of

vinyl, and we've already discussed

how a physical release in a hand-

burned wooden box would be something

we'd love to do, so with any luckwe'll be able to do exactly the sort

of thing you're after: a run of

vinyls/cassettes in unique boxes with

full album art, each one hand-burned.

Keep your eyes peeled for stuff like

that!

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU PLAYED THIS MUSICLIVE?TOM Synsophony have never playedlive, and I dont think well everperform the EP. We have played around

with more guitar orientated music,

more traditional I guess, so

maybe thatd be better suited to

playing live.

OLLIE Yeah, the EP was recorded in abasement on largely borrowed gear: if

we did anything live, we'd have to

look into getting other musicians

involved and deciding what should go

on a backing track, as well as

getting hold of the gear to actually

perform. The EP will probably never

be performed live, but that's not to

say that our stuff will always be

solely in the medium of recorded

music: Tom had the idea of setting up

a whole sensory experience, which

would take place in a small room,

coupled with visual art and thetactile sense of a small,

claustrophobic room, in a gallery-

like context. Something like that

could really do some cool stuff with

the listener's senses and emotions,

and I'd love it if we could put

together something like that.

WHAT GOALS DO YOU HAVE FORSYNSOPHONY? WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED FORTHE FUTURE?TOM Ollie and I have a pretty good

idea about our future release plans,

and I hope that you guys wont be

disappointed with what we have lined

up! In terms of our musical

direction, I think Synsophony isgonna both head down a more

experimental route, whilst also

incorporating more noticeably metal

elements. So yes, look out for that!

OLLIE Yep, we've got some awesomestuff in the pipeline. What's cool is

that, while we've been really

pleasantly surprised and humbled by

the reception we've had for the EP,

we're also a group where nobodyreally has a rigid idea of what we

shouldbe, so we can really push the

envelope and explore the concepts and

emotions we want to bring about with

our music from different angles.

That's not to say we don't want to

keep any characteristics or an

identifiable sound, but we have a lot

of free creative rein, so we're

really excited to see what directionswe can take the project and how we

can push the envelope of what a

psychedelic dark ambient act might be

expected to be. Also I think we're

both very excited to get some

physical releases out there!
