Could you provide us some basic info about your band?
Well, our band is called Noesis, and we’re from
Cantabria, in the north of Spain. Our music is something
like industrial metal with some electronic music. We
started like a band at the end of 2004. First Noesis was
a side project of our other bands (Fatal Portrait,
Crystalmoors) with the intention of combining heavy and
melodic guitars with an electronic based and programmed
drums. The “experiment” slowly started to become a band.
Why did you exactly pick this track to appear on the
compilation?
We think the track “Lost in Quasars” is representative
for our music and for our cd “When All Colours Are Dead”.
It has industrial metal, melodic vocals and electronics.
How important is and has the internet been for your
band?
Internet is a very big toolbox. Many people know Noesis
because of the internet... I think it’s a big way of
promotion for unknown bands in other countries, even
others continents. And about the internet and the
downloads... well, I think it’s unstoppable, so the
industry must look for another way of making business.
What are the views upon the local music industry in
your native country?
In Spain there are now a growth of industrial music such
as gothic music, EBM etc., but Spain is mostly a country
of rock and heavy metal bands friends.
And what about the rest of the world?
I think something is changing in the music nowdays.
There’re no new sounds, but I think that the “new” pop
and the “new” metal have something in common (I think).
The problem in the music nowdays, I think, is the music
industry. The business is not good for the bands; it’s
only good for some people...
How do you see the role of the record labels in the
music industry in about 10 years?
10 years ago the labels, and the music industry in
general, were very interesting for the bands; not for
the money, but for the promotion, etc. Now the things
are very different: all the bands have a weapon called
internet, and there are no barriers between the bands
and the “listeners”. I think the promotion is the most
interesting thing a label can make for a band. I you
have promotion, you can play live, and if you can play
live it can be more promotion for your band.
What are your opinions on the Industrialized Metal
Webzine?
The Industrialized Metal Webzine and Gerardo have been
very important for us. Their support is big for the
bands. I hope they will last in the scene for years.
Do you have some final words to add?
A big thanks to the Industrialized Metal Webzine and
Death To Music Productions for this compilation, and to
the listeners: I hope you like it! There are a lot of
good bands. If you want to know more about Noesis, you
