Interviews: Livin'Evil

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Power Metal/Heavy Metal band, Livin'Evil 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?

The band was founded by Eric and Patrick Pairon in 1992 and they created the original band. It represents the evil that lives inside all people and it sounds very good for a metal band!

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

Because it’s the kind of metal I listen to the most, and for a bass player, it’s speed, technical, and very pleasant to play

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

Livin’Evil is a rebirth from the original band (1992-1998) so I ll speak about the current line-up. Yes, I played in 2 bands, TRYSKHELL and NIEBELUNGEN with J.A. between 2000 and 2007 and Kiato played also in NIEBELUNGEN. Fabio and Tasos are initially sessions members and were known during the album building

4. Your favorite band?

IRON MAIDEN for myself, is the best illustration of a wonderful carreer in heavy metal

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Patrick Pairon wrote all the songs and he continues to inspire us to write new ones 

6. Where was your last gig?

IRON MAIDEN, yesterday in HELLFEST

7. Where would you like to act?

HELLFEST or 70.000 tons of metal 8. Whom would you like to feature with? IRON MAIDEN of course!

9. Whom not?

Britney spears! 

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

Not to my knowledge, but I think if we are led to play in front of thousands of people, the fright could come back for me! I think it’s a natural sensation and could disappear with time and experience

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Iron Maiden again, but also legends of heavy metal such as Helloween, Dio, Back Sabbath, or Judas Priest

12. Something to add?

You can find our latest album « PRAYERS AND TORMENTS » on all digital platforms and on our Bandcamp https://livinevil.bandcamp.com/ A 2 LP GATEFOLD will be available in July Thank you very much for your support, stay safe, and metal!
