1. Hi, thank you very much for this interview. Can you first introduce
yourself to our french readers and tell them what kind of music you are playing
?
Well, right now Naumachia\'s current line-up is: Armand (guitars), Soyak (guitars),
Got (bass), Koshen (keyboards), Rob (drums) and Yarpen (vocals). It is really
hard to qualify the music genre we play in a few words. Our debut release oscillates
between melodic (Swedish-like) death metal and some kind of melodic black metal.
In general, "Wrathorn" has been compared to the Rotting Christ, Children
of Bodom, etc. Nowadays, we started to work on new material which should be
released in December 2005. It\'s gonna be thoroughly different music on this
album, we used to play.
2. Your line-up has often been moving, has the recording of the album
been difficult ?
Actually, I think that recording of the album wasn\'t so difficult. The whole
band was well prepared to the session at studio and this is why the whole material
has been accomplished in 8 days. We had all along the idea of the final effect,
so we achieved it in fact.
3. Your first album « Wrathorn » is out this month in Europe
and North America via the french label Adipocere rec., can you describe it ?
In general, Empire Records (represented by Mariusz Kmiolek) is our current label.
They cooperate with french Adipocere rec. We hope this partnership will be fruitful
and explicateing.
4. What does mean the title « Wrathorn » and what does your
album tell us ?
The lyrical themes on "Wrathorn" express the need of fight, fight
in spite of all. They also say that we have to adapt the world in the way we
need, that we have to be the lords of ourselves and that we can never collapse.
"No hope" means no recourse. There\'s no god. You ask for too much.
And this is the whole concept: no helpful force comes from outside. All your
5. Are you totally satisfied with it, with its production by Wieslawski
brothers or would you change something ?
It\'s obvious, that after some auditions of the album (with no excitement) every
bandmember would like to rearrange some parts of the material. Even than, we
are very glad for the cooperation with Wojtek and Slawek Wieslawski. We are
going to accomplish the next album also at the "Hertz" studio. The
atmosphere is really good, so are the sound-masters.
6. I like the pretty « funny » last track with the «
Rocky III / Eye of the tiger » riffs, which track do you prefer and why
?
hehehe... I think we like none of the songs from "Wrathorn". Maybe
because of that we have been playing and listening to them about 1000 times.
In my opinion, the best track on this album is "Muertos". It really
kicks ass at the gigs! We have added the fragment of the theme from Rocky 3
to the last song accidentally. Everyone liked that and it\'s remained.
7. Your next album is on its way, how will it be ? Are there already
written songs and music ?
The face of our forthcoming album is gonna be totally different than the previous
one\'s. It\'s gonna be some kind of experiment. The lyrical theme will be the
continuation of our views, ideas, considerations. The music will be consisted
of extremely progressive \'patents\', it will be brutal and morbid. Technical
and monumental. Some ambient parts or even tracks are going to appear. But everything
may change...
8. What do you think of the polish metal scene ?
Polish metal scene is dominated by the death/black metal bands that represent
quite h
9. What are your touring plans this year ? France maybe ?
On the 12.03.05 we have a confirmed participation on the biggest metal festival
in Eastern Europe - Metalmania. Then, we\'ve got some gigs in the rest of the
country. We\'re also waiting for other propostions. ...France? It\'s really tempting
proposition. Well, the question is: how are the French witches in fact hehe.
10. Personally, what is the place of the metal in your life and what
are the others things you are interested in ?
The metal art is our priority - we live and breath it. We want still to improve
and present it in the way we realize that. Moreover, we\'re interested in jazz
music, women, sex, sports (gyms, football - go Real Madrid!), some of us are
interested in psychology, painting, regional dance, sung poetry. Seriously!
As you can see, we have a quite broad-minded interestings. And there\'s no time
for foolery!
11. Do you have any wishes for the future ?
We admire the maximal musical progress, the opportunities of creating, composing,
recording, live-performing and improving musically and spiritually, We want
to pick up the gauntlet and always win with challenges. We\'d like to go through
the life with dignity and pride with the instruments in our hands!
12. Thank you for your time and this first great album ! Last words
are yours...
„ Be the master,not his tool” Ave! all the brothers in metal! And
see ya at the metal misteries! 666!
