Hi, and thanks a lot for
your time! First of all, you can introduce your band to
the readers over here.
Hi, and thanks to you too! Edenyzed was born in summer
2004 as an experimental project wich combinates harsch
ebm elements with symphonic orchestrations; in fact, our
first single, Dancing Insanity, reflects this attitude.
Our debut album, Vanity moves the World , instead
repesents a stylistic maturation wich took us to
integrate also metal sounds that made our music more
aggressive, theatral and complete. Now were composing
new songs wich basically persist in this direction, but
evolving even more the electronic component and
apporting some styles change in the vocal approach.
Who made up the bandname, and why have you picked it?
Phemtis: Bands name was my idea. It is a
distortion of the terms Eden & Denied mixed in one word.
It simbolically reflects tha fall from eden, but without
a pessimistic connotation, on the contrary it exposes an
inversion of values wich finds man in his natural
condition of the impossibility to reach eternal
pleasures, but making him realize that pleasures only
sussist in function of pain. The song that lirically
better represents this condition is Eden of Pain: this
is our eden and pain is ineradicable, and without it all
kind of good emotions and pleasure are inconceivable...
What are your main influences? And who are your
personal heroes?
Noras: One of the greatest influences in my
musical forming comes from classic music. Personally I
adore Beethovens art over all. For the rest I have a
background wich embraces many kinds of metal, from
classic to black, and a vey strong passion for
electronic music. Bands like The Kovenant, Rammstein and
EBM scene in general had an important weight in
Edenyzeds musical attitude. Phemtis: My initial musical
passion regards the black metal scene,especially
symphonic one, bands like Anorexia Nervosa and Dimmu
Borgir had an important influence in my vocal style.
Afterwards my muscical preferences evolved to the
electronic scene wich still contains elements of extreme
music as screaming vocals and obscure atmospheres.
You just released your debut album, which got
excellent ratings by us and also various other zines.
But, what do you think of it yourself? And had you
expected these good critics?
We worked with passion and intenisty on this album, even
if it has been composed in a small time. So we can say
that we are conscious about our potential. Surely we
have to work strong to better some aspects of our sound
but were convinced our album is a valid product. About
the good reviews we only can thanks to all who
appreciated us like you! We hope to do always better!
And how did the audience react on it? Sold many
albums already?
The reaction of people has been simply great! We
received a lot of compliments from all who listened to
our songs, it is really an honour for us! Unfortunately
we still not have a contract, this means that every
expense to print copies of our album and to distribute
it is a little hard for us, especially because were just
two. However were satisfied for the copies weve sold
since now.
Since you are a 2 mans band, I must really ask this:
how do you do your live shows? And what can a stranger
expect when he visit a live gig of Edenyzed?
Phemtis: Edenyzeds live line up is composed by 4
elements, me at the vocals, Noras at synth and drum
machine and two guys respectively at the guitar and
bass. We bet a lot in live dimension and were preparing
to offer really intense shows both for the visual aspect
and the powerful sound...see you on stage!
I already interviewed many Italian bands, and most of
them confirmed that the local scene in Italy is
terrible. What are your experiences with the local
scene?
Noras: Edenyzed walk their own way. Were
conscious that its very hard to promote our music here
in Italy, but the real problem is that italian bands
often crash between them instead of collaborate together
to make the italian scene grown. However there are very
good realities that wait for be exploited.
What can we expect of you guys in the future?
At the moment were working with an excellent promotion
agency, Alkemist Fanatix; so we hope to obtain a
contract soon to better promote Edenyzed. For the rest,
a very intense live activity all around Italy and
Europe.
Well, this is the end of the interview. I would like
to thank you again for your time, and as usual: the
final words are yours.
Thanks to you for your support and for giving us this
space on IndustrializedMetal.tk, thanks to all the
people who support us, hoping to give real emotions to
our listeners...ENJOY THE DIONISIAC PASSION!!!
