    Interview Satanael VNM - Odt

    Uploaded by

    Karsten Lenz
    Satanael aims to create dark, sinister neofolk music that is darker and more satanic than previous works in the genre. The idea came from a process of transitioning from electric to acoustic black metal and drawing inspiration from beyond normal bounds. Key influences include Death in June and Current 93 for neofolk and the dark, haunting atmospheres of some depressive suicidal black metal and nationalist socialist black metal bands. Future plans include a second part to "Night of Nihilism" with more folk and acoustic elements plus a raw, brutal atmospheric black metal EP. The current metal/alternative scene suffers from oversaturation with much "filler" music that is unoriginal, inauthentic and lacks meaningful expression.

    Where did you get the idea for Satanael ?

    This was a long process, which finally ended in transposing of a blackmetal spirit into
    dark/neofolk music. I once stopped electric playing and started to play accoustic. The main
    idea was to create a satanic, dark and sinister kind of dark/neofolk, more dark, satanic and
    sinister as it has been before. And where did i got it from? Well, where are ideas or
    creativity coming from? I would say, from the beyond.....just music which is coming from
    the beyond, is meaningful music in my eyes and ears. It comes from beyond and it goes
    beyond....

    Who are some of you're biggest influences?


    For sure Neofolk and Blackmetal in the closer past. There where also times i listened to
    goth/darkwave and psychedelic prog or folk rock at times, where black metal and neofolk
    didnt already existed. To mention some bands, i would call Death in June the Pioneers or
    Godfathers of Neofolk and maybe Current 93. In blackmetal its hard to say, which band
    influences me the most, there is none really, its more the dark, haunting atmosphere which
    is fearing no limits or borders in generall. I liked some DSBM bands and i used to like also
    some NSBM bands, whereas the political meaning is completly irrelevant for me.

    What can we expect too see from Satanael in the future?

    I have two albums written, which i will produce until they can be released. One album is
    the forthwriting of the „Night of Nihilism“.....its the completation of a story, so its the „Part II“
    of it. It will be more folk oriented and more acoustic, like the „Night ov Nihilism“ is too, but
    also a bit more complex and with more various instruments maybe.

    The other album is a quite straight blackmetal one, which is raw, brutal and atmospheric
    It is due to my passion for blackmetal.
    There are three songs, so it is an E.P. One song is already finished, its called „Notre
    Dame“ and you can listen to it on youtube. In blackmetal i can explore more of the deeper
    musical theory and complexity, whereas in the darkfolk coloured style i find more of a
    natural and direct way to express things.

    What is you're opinion on the current alternative/metal scene.

    First of all, its overcrowded completly. In can speak of the blackmetal scene before all, you
    look at youtube and find loads of new albums every week or month. The problem is, many
    albums i wont even listen once, some albums you listen once, and never again, some
    albums you listen 4-5 times till you dont want to hear it anymore. And albums, of whom
    you can say, this is an album, i will listen again and again is rare, and you cant find it really
    often. So there is much „filling-material“ which no one really needs, but is produced
    nevertheless. Its often more a fake and copy thing, and not an honest expression of deep
    and meaningful things experienced, being worth to express on an album.
    his is a phaenomae, which can be seen also in the complete music scene, so also in
    metal/alternative scene: There are 99 - 95% bands filling something up, without meaning,
    without deepness, without anything worth to really express. This destroys the „market“ for
    the few bands, being not fake, being not copycats but human beings, that have explored
    things in their live, worth to express. But, nevertheless, fake and copy will never really win
    on the long run, they will die out quickly, i hope at least. Because on the other hand its a bit
    like cancer, spreading over the body, to destroy it. So we have to fight this.I am not
    shure, which direction it will take, but i see a more and more
    insignificant and superficiel kind of music, which is consumed like
    something to throw away after it, and never remembered ever again.
