Interview: Sol Evil’s Vocalist, Lord Morder

Conducted by: Aihsile

Let me start out by saying that you guys have put on a great show every Time I have seen Sol Evil; you surprise us all at every show. The band has done a Terrific job keeping Sol Evil together. The new material is outstanding; Much different than the older material. We need more black metal bands Here in southern California like Sol Evil.

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?
