Hi, and thank you for
your time. First, you can introduce your band to the
readers.
Krell was born in November 2005, so a few months ago,
and we wanted to aglutinate diffent ways of music saws
under the technology prysma. Basically we are a stadium
electro-rock-metal band...hehehe.
Now about the bandname. It has a cool sounding, but
what the Hell does it mean? And why have you picked the
name?
All three of us love 50's sci-fiction, and Krell is
borrowed from a film called "Forbidden Planet" (1956).
Krell was the civilization that controled that planet, a
technologically very advanced civilization, like our
music.
You have a lot of different influences according to
the story on your MySpace. What made you decide to put
this many elements into your music?
All of us came from different aspects when it comes to
tastes of music. For example, Et_Heit comes out of the
gothic scene, Ant_flaten comes from alternative metal
and Mik_mothma from death and old school heavy metal.
But all three of us have some common tastes like Nine
Inch Nails, David Bowie, Ministry, Skinny Puppy and so
on.
Your band operates under a certain image. How
important is image for a band like Krell?
We think that music is entertainment, and like
entertaitment you must give it ALL to your fans or
audience.
Could you describe all the band members within just
one word?
Et_Heit : Ethereus, Ant_Flaten: Melodicus, Mik_Mothma:
Stravagantus.
You currently have a 4-track demo out. How are the
responses on it?
People are having fun with it, and that's the most
important thing of all. Soon we will perform the songs
live too. Actually, we have two more songs so we have a
total of six songs. More or less, 40 minutes of pure
electro-rock-metal from space!
One of the songs is 'Fragile (Gary Numen adaptation)'.
Tell me more about this song.
This song is a B-side song of Gary Numan's first band’s
"Replicas" album ("Tubeway Army"). We like Gary Numan
very much, he is one of the synth-pop precursors and the
song is really easy to play and has a very powerfull
feeling. Actually the song is not really a cover, the
original song is about 2,30 minutes long and ours is
more or less 4,30 minutes. We have added some extra
guitar melodies and synths, so that is why we prefer to
call it an adaptation.
The last few weeks I got in touch with some very
different Spanish industrial bands like Blood, The New
Flesh, Krell and Seven Icons. How is the industrial
scene developed in Spain?
Really, there is no industrial scene here in Spain.
Bands here are more traditional. Bands like ours are not
very well seen because there are a lot of prejudices. We
use technology but we are not a techno-dance band, and
we use guitars and we are not a rock band...so people
get confused about it.
What can we expect of you three in the future?
We want to become as big as Kiss!
The interview ends here, thanks again for your time.
If you have something to add you can do it here.
Stay in tune with our myspace. Donwload our music from

all!
