Interviews: Weight Of Emptiness

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Death Metal band, Weight Of Emptiness from Chile. 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?

The name of the band is born from the concept of emptiness, which is sometimes a deep feeling of the human being. Existence is a heavy burden sometimes, and that weight of emptiness is what we wanted to capture with the name.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

In fact, our music does not fit into any particular style. We use various styles to in combination express feelings with music. We have been influenced by various European bands from the nineties, melodic death metal music, progressive metal, black metal, doom metal, and others. What we do is mix depending on the emotion we want to express.

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

Most of us have been friends for many years. Some of us had already made music since adolescence at school. And then in the 2000s we had made music with another band.

4. Each band member's favorite band?

Each of us has several headbands. In general, we are fans of bands from the nineties. I don't even like looking for my favorite because each one expresses different emotions and each one perceives them differently depending on the particular moment in which one lives. For now, I think our favorite band of all of us is Weight Of Emptiness.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

In general, each one of us writes songs and each one has his particular vision. In general, we are inspired by deep reflections and feelings of the human being, and his connection with the environment and nature. The struggle to prevail in a world that is complex.

6. Where was your last gig?

The last concert we gave was at the Teatro San Martin, in Rancagua, Chile. We accompany the Greek band Warhammer on their tour of Latin America. A memorable show for the venue, the bands and the audience

7. Where would you like to act?

We would like to tour Europe again, hopefully at a festival like Brutal Assault

8. Whom would you like to feature with?

Some of my leading bands such as Opeth, My Dying Bride or Emperor.

9. Whom not?

We don't have some banned or hated artist to not want to play with them. Art is art.

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

Some fear that immobilizes us no. Or at least we don't remember. Nerves, yes, but we've played so much together that when something doesn't go well, we know how to get ahead without causing a disaster. My advice will always be to rehearse enough to be sure of what you are doing, enjoy the show and interact with the audience as if they were your family or friends.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Many have inspired me, but the first 15 years of Opeth have been a great source of inspiration. I'm still looking for similar bands, but they are few.

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

Once someone asked me to take a picture with him while I was in the bathroom peeing, he couldn't wait for that selfie. It was weird but funny.

13. What do you think of your fans?

The people who follow us are really amazing, we know they really enjoy our music, attend the shows and buy merchandise if they can. We are very grateful to them.

14. What do you think of our site?

It's a good platform to meet bands and for bands to make their news known.

15. Something to add?

We appreciate the interview. We will soon be releasing our third album via Sliptrick Records, so keep an eye on our social media. Stay Unbreakable!!!
