Posle
Smrtta
The reason why I did this
interview with Gorjan Vasilevski is because I heard the song of POSLE SMRTTA
"BALANS NA BITIE" but as you will read in this interview P.S. at this moment
does not exist. Their music can be categorized in the death metal area
but I can't say they are just death metal. There are some alternative elements
that make P.S. a special underground band. Also pay attention at the names
of other bands that are mentioned here. This is the youth and the future
of the underground.
1.LET'S BEGIN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WHEN
DID YOU DECIDE TO PLAY MUSIC IN ITS EXTREME AREA? WHAT WAS THE MAIN REASON
TO BE INVOLVED IN DARK AND EXTREME MUSIC?
SLAVA Milosh! firstly, thank you for this
interview. Well, I first got to know rock music thanks to my father who
is still suppoting me. First bands that I listened were Deep Purple; Led
Zeppelin; The Doors; The Who;T Rex; Black Sabbath; Iron Maiden,etc. I started
to play the guitar when I was 10 and first scales showed me Zoran Mrakic,
bassist for Dark Order. First band that I played with was Quasar rock group
who did covers of Deep Purple and after that my metal days began hahaaha.
2.WHEN WAS POSLE SMRTTA FORMED AND WHAT KIND OF
MUSIC DID YOU WANT TO CREATE? ARE YOUR GOALS STILL THE SAME AS THEY WERE
ON THE START OF POSLE
SMRTTA?
This group was formed in 2002 but unfortunately
guitarist Marko moved to Croatia. We recorded only one song "BALANS NA
BITIE"
3.WHO PLAYS, BESIDE YOU IN P.S. AND WERE THERE
EVER ANY LINE-UP CHANGES?
Gorjan basa; Marko guitar; Bobi vocals and
Jane drums. That was the line- up and there were no changes.
4.WHO WAS THE HARDEST TO FIND TO PLAY IN
THE BAND
(DRUMMER,SINGER,...)?
The hardest to find was vocalist but quickly
Bobi showed up with his great Death Metal vocals.
5.YOUR SONG "BALANS NA BITIE" IS VERY UNIQUE.
I CAN REALLY EASILY SEE IT ALREADY USED FOR SOME MOVIE SOUNDTRACK.THIS
IS ALSO BECAUSE OF THE SAMPLE YOU USED IN THE INTRO. TELL ME SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT INTRO.
Intro was in the style of Abducted from Hypocrisy.
I am very disappointed with the recording of this song. I am planning to
recorded it myself in a studio.
6.DID P.S. EVER PLAYED LIVE? IF DID NOT IS THERE
A CERTAIN REASON FOR IT?
We didn't play live because Marko went to
Croatia but we did many good covers like: Roswel 47 from Hipocrisy; Serpents
of the light and Slave to the cross from Deicide; Born in cascet from Cannibal
Corpse; Evil dead from Death.
7.WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH POSLE SMRTTA IN THE FUTURE?
This band doesn't exist now. I play with Mortality,
Mortal Sin and Death Jesus and Bobi who was the vocalist in Posle Smrtta
now sings in Mortality and Jane plays drums in Brain Ghetto (old school
HC).
8.ARE SATANISM,PAGANISM, OCCULT AND MYSTICISM
IMPORTANT IN YOUR EXPRESSION THROUGH MUSIC AND LYRICS? IT SEEMS THAT THEY
ARE ALWAYS PRESENT IN
THE DARK AND EXTREME MUSIC.
Yes. In my lyrics the main theme is SATANISM
because I am a satanist.
9.COULD YOU TELL WHAT IS DEATH METAL AND BLACK
METAL? WHY WERE THESE GENRES CREATED?
For me death and black metal are dark musical
forms which aim at the glorification of Satanism.
10.WHY IS EVERYBODY ALWAYS SAYING THAT WE NEED
A SCENE? IS THE WEAK SCENE OR EVEN NO SCENE STOPPING THE CREATOR TO CREATE
MUSIC AND WRITE LYRICS?
I think that we need a metal scene.
In Macedonia the scene is very weak but that does not slow me down to make
music.
11.ISN'T THE SCENE THE BEGINNING OF MAKING A TREND
AND HAVING HUGE GROUPS OF FOLLOWERS? DO WE NEED FOLLOWERS OR DO WE NEED
ORIGINAL CREATORS?
Today people are making the music that is
modern so they could take money from the fans. Metallica did that. They
changed their style for the money. I think we need original people.KEEP
THE UNDERGROUND ALIVE.
12.YOU PLAY,BESIDE P.S., IN MORTAL SIN,MORTALITY,DEATH
JESUS. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THOSE BANDS? I SEE YOU PLAYED LIVE WITH SOME
OF THEM.
Mortality is a brutal death metal band in
which I plass bass. We had about 10 gigs in Macedonia. Mortal Sin is black
metal and in this band I play guitar and I sing. Mortal Sin also played
a few times in Macedonia. Death Jesus is a band from Strumica which is
280km far from my hometown Prilep. In this band I play the drums. We did
covers of Hell awaits from Slayer; Hangar18 from Megadeth;Master of puppets
from Metallica...
13. YOU WORK ON ANOTHER PROJECT. WILL THIS BE
YOUR SOLO PROJECT? WHEN CAN WE EXPECT IT TO BE RECORDED?
Yes, I work on a solo project named Satanica.
The first name was Vampiria but I changed it into Satanica. The style is
black metal with elements of death metal and also some gothic elements.
The lyrics are satanic, against the christian world, against the Vatican.
I've just recorded the first song "bodies burned in hell".
14.YOUR LAST WORDS ARE?
Thank you Milosh for this interview. Thank
you for the support.
STAY UNDERGROUND!
