ENTREVISTA COM A HORDA URFAUST
1-Aamon - Tell us about the meaning of the band's name and how you chose it. /
URFAUST: The name URFAUST comes from the first edition of the works „Faust“ by Goethe. Goethe provides us a lot of inspiration, the same goes for Nietzsche…
2 -Aamon - Tell us about the album Empty Spaces. What were the influences when composing the songs?
URFAUST: The songs on Empty Space Meditation should be seen as one story, decided into 6 chapters. Hence the fact that the meditations are divided into 6 pieces. The influences are our every day life, our state of mind and the state of emptiness we want to receive. The emptier the brain, the more you can fill it up: destruction & creation, - Dark versus Light!
3 Aamon - The band is working on a new album to be released by VAN RECORDS. How did this partnership begin? Could you tell us something about this new material?
URFAUST: well, we just RELEASED a new album, and we are recording some new songs, but they will be for a split with our brothers of WEDERGANGER! The songs are weird, not sounding like anything from Empty Space Meditation at all! Another chapter in our music style so to speak! We are still recording, we are still writing and only the Devil knows where the tunnel at the end of the light is leading to! The partnership with Ván Records happened many years ago… We have become close friends and brothers. We have no intention of leaving this label, because loyalty, trust and friendship mean more to us than money.
4 Aamon - We would like to hear about the criative process for the Apparitions album. What were the individual contributions by the band's members for composing the album?
URFAUST: IX did vocals, guitar and synth, VRDRBR did drums, bass, synths and drones… Not much to tell about it really! We recorded it at the Kindertranen Studio with our good friend Deportator in one night… It was a good Ritual!!!
5 Aamon - How does the band work on its identity process, in order to unify the individual visions and contributions?
URFAUST: we are our identity and the identity is what we always will be… we do not need to hide behind corpse paint, we do not need to hide behind hoods or masks: Urfaust is our blood and always will be and there is no point in hiding what you are… you can never do it! This goes for the both of us… our works and everything what we do, breaths URFAUST, that is why our music sounds different, but always has the same atmosphere… this is a team! a state of mind…. a passion and something we need to do… when we do not feel like this anymore, we will drop it and move on!
