1.) Why was Sol Evil Started?
*Sol Evil was started to influence the human race towards terrorism and Violence towards white light religions. Music is secondary to the cause that We stand for. *
2.) What is the meaning of Sol Evil (How did you come up with the name?
*Sol Evil is a mixture between the languages of Latin and English. It means “Evil Sun”. We represent the coming of the new Dark Age, and the name was thus Appropriate for our Horde. *
3.) What are your biggest influences? Why? What are some of the band’s Influences?
*All those who have fought with conviction against the b*st*rd Christ and Those many religions so similar are greatly admired by us. Musically we are Influenced by a great many things: black metal, death metal, classical, Etc.... I would say bands that hold musical influence on us would be such as Setherial, Marduk, (Old) Mayhem, Death, Slayer, and scores of others, however we do not attempt to duplicate another band's style in any way. We are our Own independent Horde and our music is an example of this. *
4.) What is the goal for the band?
*To spread terrorism and hatred to the masses ending all light and goodness Here on earth. Death to all who oppose the ruler of Hell and Earth! *
5.) What band were you most happy to play with and why?
*All the bands this far that we have shared the battlefield with are worthy. There is always more of a sense of comradeship when we battle with bands who are of the same recording label, so Sumeria, Legions, Resuscitator, and Mictlantecuhtli are obvious bands that stick out to us. *
6.) What are you personal beliefs about religion?
*I am very Gnostic, meaning I interpret religion in my own way. This Interview is by no means willing to permit such a long drawn out statement, but I can tell you that I associate none with these so-called "modern" Satanists, and I don't quite fit in with the definition of "traditional" Satanists in the common sense either. I advocate evil and consider myself more of a Devil Worshipper than a "Satanist". Let those readers use their Imagination on what actual beliefs I may have. *
7.) Does the band view the same as you do?
*For the most part, however each member has their own unique ideas and Opinions on the matter. The main point however is that we are all of the same cause, therefore we don't let petty differences stand in the way of our Ultimate goals. *
8.) Unlike most black metal bands in the US, you "practice what you Preach," what do you think about "untrue" black metal bands, and why do You have so much feeling and "emotion," so to speak in your music, opposed To other bands?
*These "untrue" bands are pathetic philosophers who must reason their Emotions to justify them. They are so worried about what their music sounds Like and how they look to the public that they forget the true meaning of Black metal. Sol Evil are true warriors, therefore we put our all into the Music and message, as well as our extra curricular activities to end white Light religion. Never will we "sell out" or become less drawn to the cause. *
9.) After losing many musicians, who was your biggest loss and why?
*Berserk was by far our biggest loss. Being committed to the mental Institution we have been without him for a year already! He is a very dark And special soul with the same ideas and plans as I. The good news is that He is now out of the institution and shall be rejoining the Horde on Guitars. *
10.) I’ve noticed that the band has taken the turn to more of a Dark Funeral sound, why has the style changed?
*Dark Funeral? I think "their style" is totally wasted on the pathetic Weaklings that they are! We add so much more to the music and to the message Than these commercial "black metallers". Our music is becoming darker and More powerful so to spread the message and influence the masses more easily. This is a much necessary change. No other style could possibly hold our Extreme message within. *
11.) Any last words?
*VENI OMNIPOTENS AETERNE DIABOLUS!!!*
Interview with Noctuary's Vocalist/Guitarist; Joey
Conducted By: Aihsile
*Hails Lish... thanks a lot, we really sucked at that release party too, haha. But I'm glad you liked it...*
1.) As you started Noctuary, what was the orignal goal for Noctuary? Being the only remaining original member of Noctuary, do you feel like Noctuary has sucessfully completed that goal?
*Noctuary was started as a means to express our art, emotions, and having a good time. Our only goals were to record albums, play live, and be somewhat successful in our journey. Success to me means anywhere from 10 fans to 1,000,000 fans... and it has definitely been a fulfilling ride. I think we've accomplished everything we've wanted and reached a comfortable peak... we just hope this journey continues in a positive manner.*
2.) Could you give me a brieft bio on the band?
*Noctuary was formed in the summer of '96 from the ashes of the death/black entity Summoned. Since our formation we have recorded our demo, Where All Agony Prevails, and two albums for Lost Disciple Records(For Salvation... and When Fires Breed Blood). Where all Agony Prevails was re-released in 2000 by Largactyl records onto CD.*
3.) What has been the Biggest accomplishment already for Noctuary?
*I'd say our recent East Coast stint was our biggest accomplishment. It was one of the best things that has happened for the band. We played a killer show in NY with the Haunted and did a festival in Worcester, Mass. We even had time to take a tourist day in Boston. That was one of the most killer things that we have done thus far.*
4.) What are your influences, band wise and any other subjects that influence you to write?
*Musically I'm influenced by bands like Maiden, Ozzy, old Metallica/Megadeth, and the spirit of the early 90s extreme metal bands like Dismember, Rotting Christ, Abigor, Hypocrisy, etc. I'm also greatly influenced by my classical studies and composers such as Schoenberg, Messaien, Debussy, etc. As far as lyrics, life is always an inspiration... and literature strictly influences writing style, rather than topics.*
5.) Noctuary has already toured through the U.S., which band have you most been pleased with to play with? Why?
*We haven't really toured, per se.. but we always love to do a show with Impaled. A killer bunch of goofs who are amazing live and write awesome music. It's always fun to hang out with those guys... hopefully one day we'll do some more shows/small tours with them. It's also always killer to play with the down to earth local bands like Sumeria, Sol Evil, Nokturne, Resuscitator, etc... even if the turnouts aren't so spectacular... it's always a good time. *
6.)Do you feel that "When Fires Breed Blood" is the best material Noctuary has written?
*When Fires Breed Blood is definitely some of the best material we have recorded thus far. The best material we have written seems to lie within the new material we've been writing. The new songs are turning out pretty killer and I can't wait to get them recorded... we'll probably get a two song promo recorded to pass out to labels, the press and friends sometime in the fall. *
7.) Who was the biggest loss to Noctuary after leaving? How bad did the leaving affect the band?
*Although it didn't have much of an impact on the band's progress, when Ed Knecht had to leave it was definitely a big loss. We've been friend's for 4 years now, and he was totally cool to hang out with, a great musician, and worked well with the band. I was sorry to see him go, but his life really couldn't afford him time to commit to the band anymore. One of the most impactful departures was from Ian, the original drummer. After he left, Noctuary was in a state of limbo for months. Luckily Rob(who is our drummer now) was able to fill in for us back in those days... and even more luckily... he was able to join the band full time in early 2000.*
8.) Ive heard rumors that your bassist really isn't working out in the band. whats the story behind it?
*Well, we hardly talk to the guy. We practice three times a week... tuesdays, thursdays, and sundays. He never calls, never shows to practice. Really unreliable as of late and we can't wait around for him any longer.*
9.) Thanks for your time, keep up the good work. Any last words?
*Thanks for the interview and your support, you rule!! And a massive hails to the local metal scene!!! \m/ *
