This is the interview to a young band which impressed me. The drummer answered my questions. Read more in the Reviews section.
Hello Luca, how is Merendine Atomiche?
Fine thanks, everybody are good and ready for the new album.
How is the relationship inside the bands of different
genders in Italy?
There is no difference, we are all persons and the genders is not important,
anyway unfortunatly my sister decided to left the band and now we are back
all men but for 4 years Giulia has been one of the best guitarrist female
in Italy and no problems never born inside the band, she was part of us
and a big part of us, she contributed so much to the development of the
band, and we thank her forever, now she choose to follow her personal target,
I hope that every dreams could come true, about us, we go on with five men.
Which guitarist will replace to your sister?
A great guy, Luca Securo, he come from a hard rock band but he born with
metal, he played for many years in a Death Metal band. I like his music
and he is contributing so much to the new album.
Which has been the impact of the band in American countries?
I think so good, but in general so good couse no bad reviews come from all
the world, every magazines wrote us so good and we are so happy about this
and we are working so hard for prepare a great debut album and after come
in Usa and Canada and maybe in central and south america in 2003 for support
it in best way we can. We sold good in Usa and Canada and south america,
for this we went in Canada last august for three weeks, and we found
great chances, now we are preparing the album and after we hope to come
there as we hope since we started to play our own music couse I think for
our music the best market is America and not Europe where still dominate
power metal and black that we don't like.
Approximately how much lasts a show of your band?
We played more than 100 live shows in three years and we still on the road,
we are playing the third italian tour and we are preparing the first one in
Europe and America. For us play around the world is the best way for to
know our music and our attitude on stage, it helped us too much and we
think is the best way for a musician, play and play for the people who
support us and all the metal scene, obviusly we need also the right condition
that many times didn't gave us. But we are proud about our live shows, we
are one of the fewest band in Italy that could say we play so much and is
since 1998 that we continue to play every time on the road.
Outside of Italy, where have you felt better playing?
Unfortunatly we didn't play in any other places, only in Canada and was so
great but was for a few concerts and I liked so much but I think we need
to play more for understand great the difference, we had to play our
first european tour last february but the weather stopped us, snow, wind
and ice in all the Europe cut the tour off.
What are your 5 favorite bands of all the times?
METALLICA, PANTERA, SLAYER, TESTAMENT, MERENDINE ATOMICHE
Have you listened bands of Colombia or of Latin America?
A few but yes, ok from Colombia no, but from south america yes, I remember
Rotor from Brazil, Infernal from Brazil, ok the big ones Sepultura and
Soulfly, and others that I don't remember the name but always they come
from Brazil.
Which is your favorite place in Italy?
Venice, no one is like Venice in the world...
A greeting for the readers of Eternal Night Webzine...
I would to thank you for this chance and I remember you that in december
2003 thanks of Deadsun Records we will put out the first full lenght album
and I hope you could buy also in Colombia, 8 powerfull thrash metal songs
in new style with two videos and two very big special guest as Anders
Lundemark from Konkhra and Jeff Waters from Annihilator, I think a great
job that will be recorded in august in a famous studio in Stockholm,
Sunlight, remember "walk across fire" the new thrash era is near. Thanks to
your support, keep the thrash alive, you are the best!
