| 1.- Hails Mario!! How is everything in Palermo?
|
| Everything Ok here man! The passion for our beloved Sicily transpires from our every pores. Brutality and violence of our land fed us with rage and ignorance for many years. Led us to a voluntary auto-margination from society to dedicate us to our unique passion for the most obsolete death-grind! AhAhAh!
|
| 2.-There are many people who don't know so much about your band.... Could you tell us a little bit about Balatonizer?
|
| Born in 1997 we grew up in a dull perseverance trying to create today's solid obsolete dimension. In 1998 first demo "Balatonizer" in pure grindecore style was released. In 2001 became a brutal trio composed by Mario(voice growl/scream), Marco(guitar/drum-programmer),Rodan (bass) and our Drum-machine that satisfied our concept of "vulgar-death-grind"style. At the beginning it was an expedient...but,as time was going on, we founded out our own musical dimension with it.We think now it's a sort of Balatonizer's trademark! In 2002 the demo "Occlused in Ottusity". In 2003 the EP "Reborn in Ignorance" and in July 2004 the full-length"Occlused in Ottusity" with the american label Devildollrecors/ThisDarkReign from long Beach California.
|
| 3.-Your CD "Occlused in Ottusity" is really brutal and sick, 32 tracks of total insanity... How do you feel with this production? What was the reaction and response by the part of the media and
headbangers?
|
| Yes, 32 tracks of the length of max 1 minute, 25 minutes, that's like a hurricane, swept out everything with a circular motion similar to our headbanging. We are convinced that people will be satisfied after the listening of our cd. Sensations like dulling, ferocity and ignorance are verifiable components of our fans. What we want to comunicate it's surely that feeling of exciting that our sound gives and that sense of primordial association that we are trying to find out with our fun!
|
| 4.-This edition of "Occlused in Ottusity" has been edited by the American Record Label "Devil Doll / ThisDark Reign" Records.. What do you think about the job they have done, about promotion
and everything? Is there anything would you like to tell them or request them?
|
| About the production we have recorded, mixed, mastered and drawn artwork everything ourself, Marco is a professional drawer and i'm an audio engineer.
We believe John from This Dark Reign is doing a good work in promoting and distributing the record, not only in U.S. and Canada, so we hope to visit you as soon as possible in some fucking tour!
|
| 5.-Let's talk about your music... I find a lot of the old Brutal Death Metal school influences, in the guitar riffs overall... What is the band, or bands, who inspired you to play this brutal stuff? How
do you feel playing Brutal Death Metal?
|
| There were many bands that influenced our trip during our long activity. Founders like Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Suffocation, Death, Brutal Truth, Pestilence, Napalm Death, Malevolent Creation, Vomitory,etc...and more recent like Nile, Mortician, Dying Fetus, Internal Bleeding, Sinister, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, etc...but would be reductive to make a so short list for the fact that there are many other bands that meant a lot for us.
We had spent many beautiful years closed in our lair listening to everything existing of Death, Grind,Black, Crust planet. The emotions felt during our listening of Pat O'Brian's riff; the enthusiasm arisen by the listening of Pit Sandoval's kick;The Corpsegrinder's perfect and round metric,which personally I consider the best singer in death scene, are all basic elements for our professional growth. This bands gave us great emotions that we consider the most important thing in the music.
|
| 6.-In your bio you tell that Balatonizer doesn't have lyrics, that you prefer to focus in the feelings you can bring with your music...After I read this and I heard your music, I was wondering
something, that idea was running all over my head... Do you think most of the vocalist of Brutal Death Metal bands, people who sing with ultra guttural voices that even the devil can't understand
them, do the same as you? I mean, the lyrics in their Cd's booklets are just words that accompany the name of the songs and create an atmosphere for their style and they don't sing, just make
some noise with their mouths? Look, I love Detah Metal in all their forms, even I've sung Death Metal, it's just something I was thinking these last days...
|
| I don't know how many words use other singer when he sings.....I use a Neanthertal language addressed to the reducted cerebral consciousness state of our public that, during the listening of our cd, fall in a cataleptic state and expresses itself using the most primordial itellectual capabilities. It's only in that phase that the most primitive and brutal human expression comes out in it's marvelous spontaneity. This is what I like to transmitt with my voice. Our listeners which are free to understand the message they like more.
|
| 7.-Suffocation or Nile?
|
| Both, great bands!
|
| 8.-What's the most perverted fantasy do you have?
|
| HAHAHAH! No Comment.
|
| 9.-Do you play in concerts? I'm asking this beacause you are just three people and you don't have a drummer... If the answer is affirmative...How's a Balatonizer gig?
|
| Sure we play concerts, summing up our I.Q.(intelligence quozient) during a live performance you don't reach the elementary sufficiency. We are foggy by grotesque and obsolete figures
that urge us to realize a devastating performance. The response is wonderful here.We love to be able to evocate the most obscure emotions, provoking the aggressive instincts of our public that reduce itself in a beating quarrelsome mass blinded by our sonic violence. I hope to have been clear but sometimes is difficult for me to understand myself! We are induced that our"vulgar-death-grind" is a recall for everybody who loves this music.
|
| 10.-What are you wishes as people and musicians?
|
| Working hard to our stuff When we have time, play our music and try to find new solutions to become more stupid than now. Our wishes are the possibilities to live away from our context and play our brutal performance everywhere in the world. Creating relationship with your fans that comes from many different cultures of the world by your music we think is the biggest success. Manage it is surely difficult and need a hard work.
|
| 11.-What kind of plans does the band have for the future?
|
| We are working on our new brutal project that will come out i think next years. We have finished the video of our first track"MuscUlar Prevarication" that will be in North America in the next month (inside your cd). We are waiting for any purpose about touring, we are ready to live everywhere.
|
| 12.-Thanks for your time Mario... Would you like to add something as parting words?
|
| Yes, Brutality and irony is the best mix!
