VENGEANCE WITHIN

VENGEANCE WITHIN

TELL US ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF ¨VENGEANCE WITHIN¨?

I started the band with the intention of being a live touring band in 2008, but after having a hard time finding full time members, I decided to take it to a studio project. I had about 3 songs written at the time, but I had more and needed time to write them. I wrote the next 5 songs in the span of 4 years.

02 WHAT´S YOUR INFLUENCES? My influences are all over the place. My first true passion is Black metal in its variant forms. But I also like Death Metal, Thrash, Heavy and some good old Rock n’ Roll.

03. HOW DO YOU DEFINE ¨VENGEANCE WITHIN¨MUSIC? We are a mixed bag of our influences. You’re going to hear some Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrash and Heavy Metal. We don’t force our music to be one style specific, yet we draw inspiration from each individual’s influences.

04) COMMENT ABOUT THE ALBUM: DEIFYING THE HUMAN INTELLECT¨? This was our first release as a studio solo project with session vocals. It was a mix of songs that I was working on for some time. I wrote all the songs and lyrics. I felt more could’ve been done with the songs, so I sought out full time members to go live.

05) TELL US MORE ABOUT THE ALBUM: GODS OF DELIVERANCE? This EP features full members. Now that all the pieces were in place, we wrote 3 new songs and brought back 3 songs from the first album. The older songs were changed a bit, not in structure, but in style to showcase the new members’ styles and influences. It was also done to show a connection between the first album and this EP and to give fans a listen into the new direction we were headed.

06) HOW HAS THE FANS RESPONSE BEEN? The response has been good. I still think fans do not know how to react to us because our song styles differ from one to the next. But we like to keep things fresh by doing so.

07) WHAT ARE YOUR INSPIRATIONS FOR THE YOUR MUSIC AND LYRICS? Just about everything! We have written about the ugly nature of humans mainly. But also write plenty about historical events.

08) WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE? We have shirts CD’s, download cards, patches, stickers.

09) AS YOU SEE THE UNDERGROUND SCENE IN USA? There are plenty of underground bands in the scene today! So it looks to be strong.

10) WHAT DO YOU THINK OF RELIGIONS, ATHEIM AND MISANTHROPY? Religion is a joke to us, the Abrahamic religions of course. I think it’s safe to say most of us follow nature-based spirituality. Atheism has it uses, but just like religion, it’s neither proved nor disproved. Misanthropy runs deep in some of our lyrical content. I feel in order to change us, we need to see the destruction and hatred within us.

11) DO YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS? Yes, we have played so many great shows! Our best show so far was our EP release party this year. All local bands and the turnout was amazing!

12) WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR THE ¨VENGEANCE WITHIN¨? We will be going into the studio to records our 3rd album in November. It will be our 2nd full length album and as of now, will have 10 songs. We also have new merchandise coming out in a couple of weeks.

13) THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. ANY LAST COMMENTS?

I want to thank Hell’s Friends Zine and Marco for the opportunity and to everyone that has supported and stuck by us!
