For those that are
unknown with Blood, tell us who you are, and how the
band came into existence.
Javi: Blood are Jose (vocals and bass), Mado (drummer
and technological sounds) and me (Javi, Guitar and
chorus). We started around ten years ago under the name
Capitan Blood, but when we changed our music style we
decided also to change our name just into Blood.
Nowadays we are promoting our third release.
How would you describe your music?
Javi: We describe it as industrial metal with
some gothic and dark incluences. This is the music we
usually listen to.
How would you describe the bandmembers of Blood with
just one word?
Javi: Just one word? Would be hard... I think it
is more easy to just call us hard working people.
You've just released your new E.P. called G.E.N. It
recieved good rating from various press in Spain, but
what do you think of the E.P. yourself?
Javi: We are very proud of G.E.N., it is another
step for us. We think the sound of the band is a bit
better from each album to the next. You can also hear
that difference between the 0.08 ATM. album and the
Psike album.
What are in your opinion the major progressions
you've made on G.E.N. compared to the Psike album?
Javi: We think is has a better production, we
have tried to do better samplers sounds. Also, Jose´s
voice and the drums are harder.
What is in your opinion the best song and the best
remix on the G.E.N. EP and why?
Javi: We have different opinions about that, for
me, Nirvana is the best one. For the remixes I’d pick
Ansia. Jose thinks Egos or Gotika are better, and he
would also pick the Ansia remix as his favourite. Mado
clearly prefers Egos and Ctrler Remix.
In general we like all remixes and of course our new
three songs.
The EP didn't got released on GOI Music but on
Rompiendo Records. Why did you decide to change labels?
Had some problems with GOI Music?
Javi: When the cd was ready to be released, GOI
Music told us to change the conditions we agreed some
time ago. We thought these new conditions weren´t good
for us, so we looked for a different label: Rompiendo
Records. GOI Music still does the distribution of G.E.N.
at big stores, but the album was released by Rompiendo
Records.
According to your biography, your live show must be a
real adventure for the audience. What can a stranger
expect when he visits a live show of Blood?
Javi: It is a mix between music and theatral
performance, it is 50% each. Our image at shows is very
important for us. We would like that even deaf people
enjoys them.
What kind of people do you usually found in your
audience?
Javi: It used to be industrial/dark/gothic
people, but at the current G.E.N.etic Tour we also see
heavy metal people, hardcore people,etc. It is a really
good thing for us.
What are your other passions next to music? And how
does your life look like outside of the band?
Javi: We have many different passions. Jose and
Mado really like motorcycles, but also reading, films,
japanese culture, PSP and pets, On the other side, I
enjoy playing all kinds of sports, soccer, films,
internet, traveling, etc., the list is endless.
Outside of Blood, we all have a common life like
everybody. Blood is our help to run away from this
monotone world.
What can we expect of Blood in the near future?
Javi: We are currently on the G.E.N.tic Tour to
promote our latest release, and we are trying to get
some dates outside Spain... Italy, France, the
Netherlands, Germany... and we would love to go back to
Portgual! On the other side we must continue promoting
G.E.N. until we record our next album.
Thanks for your time answering the questions. If you
have anything to add, you can do it here.
Javi: Thanks a lot for you time and support. If
anyone wants to listen to our music, check our websites
www.bloodblood.com and www.myspace.com/bloodwebsite.
Greetings from Blood to all Industrilized Metal Readers.
