1.Can you tell us little about
history of band,who formed the band,when,why.............
The band was raised about four years ago by Madis and Micha, and joined shortly by wolter.
They simply raised it to do their thing
2.Current line up,did you change
line up since the beginning,if you did why,and do you plan to change the line up:
Alco:lead guitars
Madis:vocals
Wolter:guitars
Micha:drums
Roeland:bass
Well, yeah; there has been another guitarist before I joined, guess he fucked up. I joined
the band after him with the result that I wrote and write all the main songstructures for
memorial. The band completes the song.We buried the old songs and made a new and
fresh start. We didn't have a bass player for a long time; Madis did play bass in the
beginning but we reckoned it would be better if he'd concentrate on vocals only.
Eventually Roeland joined our ranks, and we're very pleased with him.
3.Discography:
"Enter my megaron"
4.Can you little describe us your
music,and since the beginning did you change the music stile.
You could describe the music as "fast brute melodic black metal", I guess that
description captures it all.
5.Your favorite bands,and what are
your main influences.In band do you all listen same kind of music or...........
Phew my favourite bands, eh? Well, I have many, but to name but a few:
Bathory, Necrophobic, Boltthrower, Emperor, Necrophagia, Candlemass, Rigor
mortis, Mercyful fate and King Diamond. I also enjoy certain orchestra
music and soundtracks.
As for influences; living the life I lived, victories gained and loses
suffered definitly influenced the songwritting, and I reckon the above
mentioned have had their influences as well.
We all listen more or less to the same music, though we have our own
favourites individually.
6.Can you describe us little
noise,grind,gore,crust,death,thrash underground scean in your country .Are there many new
bands that play this kind of music and are there many people who support underground
bands?
There are mainly a lot of death/grind bands in the netherlands. Lately a lot of
black metal bands arise, though I must say I haven't heard anything that really interests
me. I guess that always seems to be so when you regard other bands besides your own
in the country that you live in. I simply don't care about these bands, Memorial is all
that counts!!! The metal scene is ok, there is a reasonable amount of support here, though
it could and should be better.
7.Can you describe us your latest
material.Is it different than the old one.Do you plan to record something new soon?
Just wait and see; keep looking forward to a new release this year, we plan to record it
soon. It'll maim, slay and kill. And it will not be different from our previous album, it
never will!!!
8.Was it hard for you to find the
right name for the band,did you change the name.???
Yeah, it was really dificult to find a name that suited our music. I made
large lists with all kind of names on it, in the end we decided that the name we now bear
is the best one.
9.Best concert that you played on.
Never did a gig, so far. We are preparing for concerts as we speak.
10.Do you like gore movies?
Oh yeah, I really enjoy horror and gore movies, collect them as well, I'm really addicted
to all kind of zombie movies; "Romero" rules, and I'm a big fan of the
"Evil Dead" series.
11.What do you think about noise
art(music),what are your favorite noise bands?
I've never heard of it, so I have no favorites as well.
12.Beside this band does any of
you play in some other band or did any of you played in some other band?
I played in some bands , yet they are not worthy mentioning; all that is important to me
is Memorial. Madis has been a singer in Kurb Saatus. Micha has been a singer in Ceremony.
Wolter also plays in Profane. Roeland has no musical history.
13.Can you describe us your
lyrics,who writes them and what are they about?
Madis is responsible for the vocals and thus the lyrics.The lyrics of Memorial are and
will be about: darkness, death, afterlife
14.What do you think about new
political situation in Yugosalvia.
I've seen and heard a lot from it through the media, honestly it is of no importance to me
so I have no thoughts on that topic.
15.Do you have any jobs beside
playing in band.
All the others work, I still study, and plan to finish it this year.
16.Do you plan to record a video
in future?
No, not really. We'd rather use the money for new recordings or merchandise.
17.Do you believe in god and
devil,and what is your opinion about church,and sect?
For us the devil is as much a biblical figure as Jesus or Maria or Moses; since those
stupid fucks from the church
invented all this bullshit.They are all characters from a laughable middle-eastern
fairytales book called "the bible".I personally like the devil-figure it is an
interesting figure with all it's mythology yet pure fantasy. The true devil I really enjoy
is me!!!!As for the church and it's followers; fuck 'em, may they have a long and
miserable life!!! The same goes to all so called white witches and wicca dead fucks.
18.Plans for the future
More Memorial releases, and having a really great fucking life.
19.Say something for the end
Thanks for this interview and keep up the good work, cheers!!!!
