Interview for DEATHTHRASHER MAGAZINE
by ARMANDO MUTILATOR :

DT: Hi
Elin, how are you?
Devilqueen : Hi Armando, I'm fine thank you.
DT: Please talk me about your musical influences.
Devilqueen : All my life I have allways liked to sing, and my first big idol was Madonna. I have allways liked her music and I still do. My dream was to join a band, and I got the oppertunety when a friend of my twisted sister needed a singer for his band called Demonoid. Didn`t really like metalmusic then,but as I grew into the new band Miasma Paradox, the music got more like rock. And now as I join my third band Ancestral Legacy, I must say that I like metalmusic more and more. I am getting inspired of Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Lullacry and Evanescence.
DT: How does the writing on ANCESTRAL LEGACY? How about lyrics?.
Devilqueen : All the bandmembers are doing their part of the job. Eddie the guitarist is the most creative mind at music and lyrics, but we all contribute. I have written one lyric, called Crash Of Silence.
DT: Please describe your stage performance. What songs do you play on stage and do you play any cover songs?.
Devilqueen : We haven`t performed to many concerts /gigs yet, but the songs at the moment are Forsaken, The Last Goodbye Crash Of Silence and Emptiness. Coversongs: In The Beginning ( Amorphis ) and Enveloped ( Rapture ).
DT: Do you like AMORPHIS?.
Devilqueen : Yes I do, especially the song "In The Beginning"
DT: Tell me about MIASMA PARADOX.
Devilqueen : Miasma Paradox was founded june 1st 1999. We were five members, but unfotanately the line-up wasn`t steady enough to continue. We managed to record a demo though. twelve songs with rock and ballads.
