Hello Adrian, I'm ok, thanks, hope you too! Well, I was working with a software on some pictures to release a video image of Svart Himmel, checking mail on my websites and listening music.

No, the band Seducent Evil is definitely split, no possibility of a reunion in the future. Mmm... The major result was to be all at once to rehearsal, ahah. Ok, jokes aside, there were no outstanding achievements, after a few songs was enough clear that we could not continue, given the substantial difference between the various musicians (who had a footprint prog, who some metal core, me, absolutely black metal). So, I'm significantly more satisfied with that I'm doing with Evil Lucifera and Svart Himmel. 

Yes, exactly, is the same line up, even if we consider to enlarge the line up of Evil Lucifera. The difference is both in terms of issues, which Svart Himmel not touch any religious themes, and for the sound, which uses a lot less keyboards, while Evil Lucifera uses many symphonies and religious/anti-Christianity themes.

Svart Himmel is mainly a studio project, while Evil Lucifera is determined to develop more thing, is not easy, however, find good people to work with, especially without a label behind. I'd be very interested in taking gigs more than anything else abroad, here in Italy there are few good opportunities, and have never been interested in playing in a small pub in front of a few friends.  

It's not out yet because I'm looking for a label that can support the project in a manner quite satisfactory to me.  

Unfortunately not yet. I received some offers, but it was more online sales or distribution in limited geographic areas. What I look for in a label, in addition to distrubution, is a management support for organization of concerts. That is not an easy task, but I will not settle for an offer unsatisfactory.  

Surely. Well, I had initially thought of something very eccentric, hard to create, with many effects, disturbing scenes, and say that the cost far too excessive, as well as the difficulty of finding anyone able to recreate what I had in mind. However I have written a good script, but it's still need the search for the right scenario, which reflects exactly what I'm looking for, and here near my area there is nothing particularly interesting, so we're still in search of it. Then we will see how to solve the problem of video editing. It will be something very dark, with themes representing the lyrics.  

For the moment we re-recorded the last path, developing the soundtrack more akin to the actual sound, and improving the mix, and I'm working on a video with pictures of introduction. Then will follow up with "in my dark place",and afterwards we will work on new material to realize the demo.  

Certainly have their importance, even if it is found that the music must always be the mainly important thing. Here in Italy unfortunately pays little attention to the image of the band, and I often found myself playing in a band and feel a kind of alien, haha. Personally I think that what black metal communicate, should lead to externalize something even from the perspective of exteriority, is unfortunately not so many here.  

I never raised the problem, is a part of me as the music, so I decided to introduce me for what I am. Anyway, you can never judge by appearances, is not it? And, I don't think the physical aspect is to influence the opinion of music, may be something extra, but to get a complete idea then you should also listen to music. However, I think the most provocative pictures are on my personal site, not on the bandsites.  

It's not the first time that I work with Beltane, last summer I recorded the voice for their "blood and lust", and this winter it was the turn of 'don't ask. " The two collaborations were very nice, I recorded the voice and then I've sent them the recording voice. Blood and lust is in the album "Rehearsal Autumn X", while Don't ask is in the album "brown metal." About Don't ask, was one thing I learned at the last minute, also due to a misunderstanding with e-mail, I had very few time to work on it, had just a couple of days to work on it, it was a race against time but the end result was more than satisfying.  

Obviously, I remember, even if it's been a long time. Started around 13 years, of course my social life at school was really suck, because I was seen as a sort of witch who listened to crap music, to be avoided by carefully. And the thing I was good with it, given the lack of consideration that I had to that rabble.   

I'm very pleased about this topic, whereas in recent times here in Italy every time is killed someone, and don't know who was to kill, the first review of the media, is devoted to satanists. It's a pretty stupid and annoying thing. My opinion about what happened about 10 years ago, is as follows. Once again, the media has embroidered upon. Or better, couldn't resist the sensationalism, and has transformed a gang of drug addicts, mentally weak and misfits in an unlikely cult adept to the cult of Satanism. And here in Italy, every time jumps out a mutilated corpse, the media, recalling these facts, speak immediately of possible crimes satanic, just because it makes clamor, and does talk a lot. Fuck to these stupid conjecture and nonsense!  

- TV 

I usually don't watch tv, except for few good series, thematic of horror, fantasy, etc. I think the tv is trying to fool the masses through advertising and stupid trash programs such as reality show. Avoid it is the best way to keep your brain alive. 

- Anton Sandor La Vey 

He's a great, a man of great charisma and intelligence, who deserves estimation and respect. 

- topless sunbathing 

I don't go to the beach, I hate take the sun. The others do what they like, with or without beachwear. 

- football 

No, thanks, I don't like it. I think everyone should do sport, is healthy and does very well, but I prefer healthy physical activity rather to anyone who becomes a hysteric fan who lives in the light of what makes his team. 

- pizza 

I love pizza,is the best food, absolutely, one of the few things I like about Italy. 

- Behemoth (the band) 

Great band, I like it. 

- Depressive Black Metal 

Mmm, it's not my favorite genre of black metal, anyway, there are some good bands in it. 

- sado-masochism 

Not interested. 

- chocolate 

Like it very much, especially on ice cream. 

- Apocalypse in 2012 

There have been various prophecies in various dates before 2012, but turned out to be unfounded. I believe that if man continues in many wrong attitudes and disrespectful toward nature (such as nuclear power, pollution, disposal of waste incorrectly, nuclear experiments, etc), it could soon get an apocalypse, but who can say when?  

Thanks very much Adrian, and cheers for the good work to support the underground. Good luck for everything!
