Last.Ask the Man From the Audioscrobbler.The following interview is done with vocalist Cadaveria...There's not too much information available on the internet or
elsewhere on Opera IX, so could you give us a history?OPERA IX born in 1988 from the perverse mind of Ossian, but it is only
in 1990 that the 1st demo tape "Gothik" is realized.OPERA IX to a contract with the Dutch label Wimp Rcs."EP is produced and outprinted.The first 500
printed copies are sold out in two months only.With his keyboards the band explores those new atmospheres,
more ethereal and disquieting, presents in "The Call of the Wood".CD, outprinted in 1995 for Miscarriage Rcs.Triskent celebrates the traditions of the old pagan religion through his
keyboards and guitar synth.The cooperation with the American Label Dwell Records is continuing: "
A Call to Irons" , tribute to Iron Maiden, is out now.The cover played
by Opera IX is 'Rime of the ancient mariner'.The new tracks (six, for a total time of 70 minutes!Lunaris who has greatly replaced the other keyboardsman sent
away for ideological incomprehensions."The Call of the Wood" and the wrapping, digipack, will finally convince
you to buy this new jewel of extreme music.Videotape featuring the clip + 4 new live songs: the magic atmosphere
of Opera IX music perfectly recreated on stage!Your new release, 'Sacro Culto,' shows a new development of your voice.You use a more feminine style accompanied by your old style.How did this change come about?Was it a personal one for you, or,
was it a band decision?There's a perfect feeling
among Opera IX members, so this choice has been welcome by all the band.It's been about four years since your last release, 'The Call of the
Wood.CD and for "A Call to Irons", a tribute to Iron Maiden on CD (both
for the American Dwell Records) then for Sacro Culto.The cover of "The Call..."The cover of "Sacro Culto" represents the goddess
Ishtar.She is naked 'cause Ishtar is symbol of Truth and truth doesn't
need veils.Summarizing : ex tenebris ad lucem (there is more light in
darkness than light in light !Nothing to do with the use of female
body for advertising!Both of them held a glimpse at your new vocal approach,
and a musically richer Opera IX.Explain the motivation of being
involved in these two releases.Dwell Records work, that it is serious and
professional.Surely the cover "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" wasn't our fave
Iron Maiden song, but there were few songs left to choose...Opera IX is not only a musical band but also a five elements sect.We love to live in solitude and operate in secret.Celtic gods and the forces of Nature but, above all, we strongly believe
in the power of our own minds and spirits.Christian churches, they have kept Celtic seals
and they have transformed them in Christian symbols to adore.Christianity has put the world in slavery!This is why I
put "tried" in parenthesis ).I'm attracted by Satan's figure as something
strong, powerful and sexually interesting.Satanist is another
thing.What do you think about this?Alteration of human souls, new devotion or trends?Surely something that has nothing to do with Opera IX!CD 'Females in extreme music' the song 'My Devotion'
is very good.So Dwell Records,
according to us, decided to cut it.We already knew the entire version
would appear on Sacro Culto only.What can we expect from your next release?Three new songs are ready now.Can I say they are great?We've always found Opera IX to be a very unique band.Thank you for all the compliments!I'm sure this is not a problem for fans: they
always cover me with compliments...Here's a question we're sure not just ourselves have wondered.What does
the name 'Opera IX' mean ?Yes, it is a very original question!But, attention, Necrodeath are coming back!All what we write belongs to us.Our inspiration is ourselves.What are some of the things that interest you other than music?When I have the time I love to walk in the
woods with my dog.If so, with who and
where?Could you tell us your opinion on this?All is done for money
reasons.Thanks for this interesting interview and for the space dedicated
to Opera IX. |
