Interviews: Primaterra

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Heavy Metal/Metal band, Primaterra from Germany. 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?

It wasn’t an easy task. We spent months trying to find the right name. But some in our music direction - each had a different perspective on what the name represents, and we wanted it to reflect there, so we started thinking about where we come from musically, what we want to convey in our lyrics, our sounds, etc. And while recording our album Devolution in France we concluded that our music is very much rooted in earlier genres, but with a modern take on it, so - Primaterra, Primal Land.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

We love heavy, raw music and come from similar yet different backgrounds. The music we play reflects that. We love combining our different influences and how we see music into this thing called PRIMATERRA. We are excited to see what will happen to our music as we progress as a band.

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

We come from a long line of collaborations and partnerships in a rather small scene, so some of us knew each other before playing in this band, and it was a matter of time before we found each other.

4. Each band member's favorite band?

Matias (drums): David Bowie

Nativ (Bass): Pantera

James (Vocals): Faith No More

Liran (Guitar): Nasum

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

It’s more than just a way to express ourselves, we find it a way to connect and spread our ideas and love of music.

6. Where was your last gig?

Privatclub, Berlin - with the great Walkways

7. Where would you like to act?

Everywhere! But definitely, a north and south American tour as soon as we can. 

8. Whom would you like to feature with?

We love joining forces with great people from new and known bands from all genres.

9. Whom not?

Fascist/racist acts

10. Have any of you ever suffered from stage fright? Any tips for beginners on how to beat that?

Stage fright can always occur - especially when you just start performing, but also in later stages. However, after a while, that turns into excitement, and the adrenaline rush is just the best feeling in the world. And the way to overcome it, is to keep on practicing and pushing yourself to the very limit. support and strengthen each other in the band.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Pantera, Faith no more, The Crown, Meshuggah, NIN, Nasum, Devin Townsend, Sepultura, Machine Head, and many mannnnyyyy more.

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

We were asked by a fan if she could draw our private parts after a show

13. What do you think of your fans?

As fans of music ourselves, we find that without our fans the fuel to create and perform is missing. We want to bring the best we can, so that our fans will love our music as much as we love creating it.

14. What do you think of our site?

Awesome site! Thanks to Breathing The Core, we came one step closer to bringing our music to the listeners, and we got to know new bands as well. Keep up the good work!

15. Something to add?

Keep it heavy, keep it loud and see you in the pit!
