I'm really tired hearing the same dry and average
Metal day out and day in performed by people who have no individual
creativity, nor any idea about what dark music is about. People still looking
for dark music should direct their eyes at a great and old German band,
namely Sopor Aeternus. Great and original music that is hard to describe with
words. But it has nothing to do with Metal, that's for sure. Anyhow, we let
you form an own opinion after having read this interview with Anna-Varney of
the brilliant Sopor Aeternus! |
I think
it’s correct to asume that Sopor Aeternus aren’t that known within the
extreme Metal genre so I thought we could start since the beginning of Sopor
Aeternus existance in the late 80’ies/early 90’ies! |
What kinds
of people do you think your music appeals to? |
|
What goes in your head when you compose the music
you do? |
|
I do not really see this overall romantic
aspect, most people like to connect with the medieval times..., actually I
doubt it very much. What inspires me about it all is indeed the music and
architecture. |
If we would go into the lyrics as well, you write in
both your native languge German and in English. Do you see a difference in
your way to write lyrics between the two languages?
|
people are so good at looking back at what others
have done instead of looking into the future, musically speaking? |
