Interviews: PORN

In this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Murder Rock/Goth Metal/Rock band PORN from France. Check out the interview and follow the 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?

Our name came from the “Pornography” album by The Cure. I am a big fan of the band, they had a strong influence on me.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

It cames naturally, regarding my influence I guess. I was influenced by rock and metal artists ( from Alice In Chains, Type O Negative, Nine Inch Nails to David Bowie, Alice Cooper, The Cult, The Doors, Killing Joke... ), the mission was to create dark, sexy and dangerous music : “something like a beautiful, tasty fruit with a razor blade inside.” Our music, particularly the current trilogy ( we released the first and second act, the third will be released in 2020) is called Murder Rock.

3. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Our current trilogy is a whole concept. The story a serial killer, Mr. Strangler, and his crew. Our current album, The darkest of human desires – Act II February 2019 ) is the second part of the trilogy. The Ogre inside – Act I is an album about inner struggle, about dark desires, how society can oppress your will. This is a fight no one can win, the Ogre that devours you from the inside always wins... The album is an invocation, a way to set the Ogre free, embrace your ”true” self and allow your darkest desires to express themselves. It's an incitement to action.

In this trilogy, The Ogre inside won this inner struggle, giving birth to Mr. Strangler. This first Act is about his youth. In Act II: The Darkest of human Desires, Mr. Strangler, by embracing his « true-self » is now an adult, he expresses his dark impulses without limitations and has no boundaries. With his crew, Mr. Strangler commits murders and massacres. He also invites everyone to take a step forward and act, invites you to express your darkest desires and join his death cult. For Mr Strangler and his team, the Ogre is released! Let the massacre begin! Let the darkest of human desires be: murder .

We worked with Tom Baker on the mastering. The man worked on so great albums: The downward spiral – NIN, Antichrist Superstar – MM, Hellbilly Deluxe – Rob Zombie. 

4. Where would you like to act?

We are working on a US tour! We are looking for partners!

5. What bands have inspired you the most?

The cure, David Bowie, Type O negative, Ministry... 

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

I can hear anything 

7. What do you think of your fans?

The best fans ever! And it's not easy to wear PORN T-shirts, especially if you are a girl. Our fans are amazing.
