Interviews: BLOODY VESSEL

In this new occassion we have had the opportunity to interview the Deathcore/Death Metal band BLOODY VESSEL from Argentina. Check out the interview and this band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1.Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that? 

We (both members of the group) came up once we started with the idea of using VESSEL just for the name, it was pretty good and we used it for a few months in our early demos and stuff like that – then we thought it better in terms of registering the band name and how the distribution would be. We realized that Vessel was pretty much overused by other artists, so we decided to add something more to the name in order to avoid any problems in the future. Bloody Vessel then came as the permanent band name.

2.Why did you want to play this genre? 

I (EKS – Instrumentals Composer) wasn’t keen on the extreme metal scene, I didn’t listen to it at all, it was TC (Vocalist) pretty much who started driving me towards the genre and I ended up enjoying it a lot. TC is more a Deathcore guy, or any modern Core thing, I was into metal but not that extreme, I was more into the Nu Metal stuff or any other non-metal genre. We decided to go towards the Death Metal scene using a lot of experimental stuff from artists we both listen to.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed? 

Yup, but not that much. We met at a birthday party one year before we re-encountered again to make this band project. TC contacted me thru Facebook cuz he knew I was into the recording and production thing, he wanted to start a band and as time passed by we became friends as well as band partners.

4. Each band member favourite band? 

We don’t have any favourite band, pretty much a difficult choice.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs? 

Me, as the instrumental performer, I inspire myself from the things I listen to, ranging from the heavy metal scene to any electronic based genre such as Industrial, EBM, Breakbeat and even other genres such as Hip Hop. TC writes the lyrics more into a literary storytelling endorsement, he always has some ideas rounding his head with lots of cool metaphors or similies and pretty good stories which fit pretty good in the genre.

6. Where was your last gig? 

We don’t play gigs (yet). We’re an Internet band

7. Where would you like to act? 

In any dungeon metal club where Death Metal bands play.

8. Whom would you like to feature with? 

A lot of vocalists from the Deathcore scene, such as Dickie Allen, CJ McCreery, Ian Bearer, etc.

9. Whom not? 

Anybody is welcome, so we don’t have a “blacklist”.

10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that? 

We didn’t tour with our band, but we both made at least a few shows in other bands. The way to avoid stage fright is just focusing on your music, on the vibe and the feeling people generates within the room, just imagine you’re alone there expressing all your emotions. The goal is to relax and have a good time, do not focus on any mistakes cuz that’s the humane part of shows.

11. What bands have inspired you the most? 

There are a lot to name, too much for a list.

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for? 

To send a video singing “Happy Birthday”.

13. What do you think of your fans? 

We’re a further underground band, we don’t have much fans (or maybe we don’t know them yet), but they’re people just like us, it’s nice to share anything we do and the fact of they appreciating our music. It’s amazing.

14. What do you think of our site?

It’s good, we saw a few promos made from Breathing the Core before, it’s pretty nice.

15. Something add?

We’d like to thank you guys from BTC for the interview and any of our unknown and already known fans for supporting our music and there’s a nice surprise coming in a few months…
