1.Thanks for taking the time to talk to
The Grinder! You have a new album out, Tell us about it!
Thank you very much and yes, we do have
a new album under our arm, which we call "Conquering the Deep
Cycle" with which we have had an incredible reception from the
public and the specialized media.
2.Where was it recorded? Is all the
material new?
The drums were recorded in the Audio
Custom studios in Santiago de Chile and the rest of the instruments
in the band's own studio located in Buin, called "The Farm"
and then all mixed and mastered by the great Richard Iturra in Arica.
The material is new except for the song
"Two Tears Alone" which was composed in a period prior to
Weight of Emptiness, however the song was never recorded in any
recording so we used it to close certain cycles of that period.
3.What is the biggest difference
between your last release and the new one?
I think that what differentiates both
productions has several edges, such as the level of production is
much higher in this second album than in the previous one, or the
quality of its art, the quality and complexity of the songs is also
greater and clearly his lyrical concept is much deeper and darker
than it seems at first glance ... in general I think this new album
had a greater dedication on the part of us to leave nothing to chance
and worry much more about every detail.
4.Are you signed to a label? , If so
which one and how did they help or support the process?
If in fact for this new album we signed
with Australis Records and in the background his work was to print
the albums in a physical way, that was his contribution, the rest is
all the effort of the boys of the band.
5.What has been going on with the band
between albums? Did you tour?
When we released the first album we
made a 6-date tour of different cities in Mexico, in addition to the
composition of the songs for the new album and for the promotion of
“Conquering the Deep Cycle” we achieved 10 dates in the old
world, passing through Spain , Bulgaria and Romania and then 3 dates
in Argentina, not counting the dates we have in our country, so our
agenda has been busy, playing a lot live, which is something we love
to do.
6.Do you have any new members?
Well informed that they are! Yes, we
did a change of bassist. Manuel Villarroel left the band for personal
issues and we brought Mario Urra who is a great musician and
excellent person, with whom we have been able to explore further with
the sound of the band, so we are very happy with Mario.
7.Who produced the new album and how
did they effect the album?
The truth is that we do not work with a
producer so that work is something we do among all. In Latin America
it is difficult for you to find underground bands working with
producers since there is no money to finance that.
8.Some like to record naked or in the
dark with candles , Did you have any strange studio practices?
hahahahaha in no way will I show my
cock to any of the boys, they could fall in love with me, hahahaha
... no, the truth in that sense we work quite professional and maybe
the only one who gets a little messy at the time of recording is me ,
since to refresh my throat I always drink some beer, but only a
little (jajajajajajajajaja).
9.Of course tell us where to pick up
your album and how to learn more about you.
Well the album can be found directly
with us in Chile. It is also distributed by Australis Records. You
can request it at www.asutralisrecords.com. To learn more about us
you can visit our official website www.weightofemptiness.com, our
youtube channel and social networks facebook, twitter and instagram
10.What is your plans now that the new
album is out?
The truth is that
we have several ideas in mind of what could come, we are already
planning and composing a new album, but the focus today and what I
can tell you, is that we want to play live what we can most and
hopefully more people listen to the band and that allows us to
continue playing all over the world and enjoying experiences with our
fans from all over the world, greetings and ..... Stay Unbreakable
!!!!
