Lord Legendary, a singular
soul in the darkness of Thailand who transforms himself into
multiple entities to create black metal under the name of a band
"Dark Mystery". It started in the mid year of 1995.
Songs were written until midyear of 1999. On the last month of
that same year, the demo "Castle of Sorrowful" was
recorded. It contains 4 tracks entitled "Out God",
"Castle of Sorrowful"," Life of Darkness"
& "Death Was Start of Life". All guitars, bass,
drum programming, vocals, lyrics, music are done by Lord
Legendary, & of course no one can answer this interview but
the Lord!!! This interview was created & answered between
February & March 2001.
UnderWorld > HOW IS EVERYTHING
DOING FOR DARK MYSTERY? DID YOU SENT OUT MANY PROMOS FOR
"CASTLE OF SORROWFUL"? DO YOU REMEMBER HOW MANY? HOW DO
YOU LIKE THE RESPONSE?
Lord Legendary > Beginning in
1995, I have an idea to have black metal band. I try to find
members, but I cannot found them, until the fourth quarter of
1999. I started to process one-man band, alone. I had never sent
my album to promote anywhere else but it had some Zine asked me
for demo about 30 copies. And I had received a good feedback.
UW > WHAT'S GOING ON THAILAND'
METAL UNDERGROUND? IS THE SITUATION TRENDY? WHAT DO YOU HATE
& LIKE ABOUT IT? ARE THERE A LOT OF BANDS/ZINE & GIG
SPOT?
LL > Underground Metal in
Thailand is still not so popular. It has only some group crazy on
not be well known as other country nearby.
UW > I READ SOMEWHERE (I THINK
FROM A MAINTREAM METAL MAG..) THAT THEY DON'T LIKE ONE MAN BAND
'COZ IT'S NOT A GROUP EFFORT (I GUESS THOSE ASSHOLES DON'T KNOW
WHAT "ONE MAN" MEANS! HA! HA!), SO HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT CLOSE MINDED PEOPLE LIKE THOSE? HAVE YOU MET SOMEBODY LIKE
THEM?
LL > I'd never met someone like
that.
UW > ACTUALLY ONE MAN BANDS TODAY
ARE GETTING REALLY GOOD. HAVE YOU TRIED JOKING TO OTHERS BY
GIVING THEM YOUR DEMO & NOT TELLING IT'S A ONE MAN BAND? (I
DONT THINK THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT.)
LL > No. I'd never pretend
something like that. But for someone who don't know much about
music will have no capacity to dividing it.
UW > WHY DID YOU REALLY DECIDED
DOING THIS BY YOURSELF? CANT YOU FIND WORTHY SOULS TO WORK W/
YOUR DARK CREATIONS? WOULD YOU STILL CONSIDER HAVING A FULL
MEMBER IF SOMEBODY WOULD FIT YOUR LIKING?
LL > Yep, I cannot find any
members at first. But now I can have all of them.
UW > HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR
CHILDHOOD, IS IT GOOD? DID YOU GET INTO MANY TROUBLES? ARE YOU
KIND OF A REBEL? MAYBE SOMETHING HAPPENED BACK THEN THAT'S WHY
YOUR SOUL HAS DARKENED?
LL > My childhood is not so good,
my young life was suffered, many problems about family. I got
pressure and have an anti-power to resist everything deep in my
mind.
UW > ARE YOU INVOLVED IN OTHER
BANDS BEFORE? ANY OTHER UNDERGROUND PROJECTS YOU ARE DOING, ZINE,
DISTRO?
LL > I'd never be in other bands
and never had any participate with anything.
UW > HOW ABOUT JOB, WHAT DO YOU
DO FOR LIVING, ARE YOU STILL A STUDENT? WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE
BEST JOB OTHER THAN BEING A PORN STAR? HOW OLD ARE YOU BY THE
WAY? WHEN DID YOU START BANGING YOUR HEAD?
LL > I'm 26 years old. I have my
own business. I started to listen Metal since the age of 15.
UW > PROSTITUTIONS IS LEGAL IN
THAILAND RIGHT? HAVE YOU TRIED SEX W/ A PRO? HOW MUCH DOES IT
USSUALLY COST? HAVE YOU TRIED SEX HAVING YOUR MUSIC AS A
BACKGROUND?
LL > I'm accept that I'd never go
to make a shit holes with any pros. But I know its rate is about
300 - 500 Thai baht. If u has chanced to come to Thailand I will
be your guide through. I've ever open my songs when having sex
but the result is my lover told me that it's something like dog
bark so I switched off.
UW > WHAT ARE THE RELIGIOUS
BELIEF IN YOUR COUNTRY? DO YOU SUBSCRIBE TO ANY OF THEM? WOULD
YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF SUPERSTITIOUS? ARE YOU INTO ANY OCCULT
PRACTICE?
LL > The majority of people in my
country belief in Buddhist. I didn't feel anything with it. And
occultism is a real thing but I never have any experience in
frighten event.
UW > WHAT IS WITCH OR WITCHCRAFT
IN YOUR LANGUAGE? DO YOU BELIEVE IN SUCH? HOW ABOUT SUPERNATURAL
BEINGS THAT ROAM THE NIGHT, DO YOU BELIEVE IN THAT TOO?
LL > I think u talked about magic
lesson in my lyric, right. It's a curse that order to me from
something made my life fall into the darkness forever.
UW > THAILAND'S HAND WRITING
LOOKS ANCIENT, IS IT THE SAME AS IN INDIA (SANSKRIT)? IS ENGLISH
GREATLY SPOKEN IN THAILAND?
LL > Some words of Thai language
was born from Hindu-Sanskrit. But English language in Thailand is
only for high-level school, some occupation will seriously use
it. But for lower people, some can spoke a little bit to sell
their product.
UW > WHEN DID YOU START TO LEARN
ALL THE INSTRUMENTS? DO YOU USE A DRUM MACHINE, A COMPUTER, OR
OTHER INHUMANS? HOW LONG DID YOU MAKE THE DEMO?

instruments, but I practiced from book. About my first album, I
used drum machine. It's taken about 2 weeks.
UW > WHO'S THE MOST INFLUENTIAL
BAND FOR YOU, ANY ONE MAN BAND?

friends. And people whose non-metal human I also be friends with
but not so close.
UW > DO YOU EVER WANT TO LEAVE
THAILAND & LIVE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY? WHAT COUNTRY THAT MIGHT
BE & WHY?

very beautiful and have mysterious condition, and cold weather.
UW > IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU JUST
ONE POWER WHAT WOULD YOU WANT A:) THE POWER OF TRANSFIGURATION,

CHOOSE THAT?
LL > I choose B;) I will make my
super power over human.
UW > DOES YOUR FAMILY SUPPORT YOU
ALL THE WAY OR THEY HAVE MANY BAD THINGS TO SAY?
LL > They'd never supported me in
everything.
UW > IF YOU WERE TO RE-LIVE YOUR
LIFE, WOULD YOU CHANGE ANYTHING? WOULD YOU BE THE SAME BEING?
WHAT IS THE MOST SHITTY THING ABOUT LIFE THAT YOU HATE, SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH OUT?
LL > I want to change many things
in my life, but I cannot separate to sequence. I cannot remember
what I have, it's too many. But I've never interested in it. I
think our life must be faces with bad thing but we have to
control over it.
UW > HOW LONG DO YOU THINK ARE
YOU GONNA ANIMATE INTO SONGS YOUR DARK THOUGHTS? IS THIS LIFETIME
ENOUGH? DO YOU THINK THIS QUESTIONS ARE ENOUGH?
LL > I took about 3 years to make
my last album, made its and rest for few months. My lyric is the
travel of my life that I face and compare with my dreaming brain.
My life must be go along so far, I have many things to do. Your
questions are very excellent, away from the path and not tedious.
UW > LAST PART, PLEASE TELL MORE
ABOUT YOUR FUTURE PLANS, OTHER MERCHANDISE, INFO ON YOUR NEXT

album. I cannot tell u more at this time 'coz I didn't know the
finish time yet. And the future is uncertain, it might be some
error or mistake happened.
