Interviews: Ophiolatry

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Death Metal band, Ophiolatry, from the USA. Check out the interview and follow the project on his FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

To explain the origin of this name, I will have to tell you a story: “In my childhood I went through a traumatic experience, I was a witness to the rape of my sister when we lived near Amazonas, the act did not end due to the intervention of a neighbor and the rapist was chased by the residents of the fishing colony where he ended up being caught and There on the banks of the Rio Machado he was beheaded and quartered, days later his remains were found miles away regurgitated next to a skin abandoned by an enormous serpent. Everyone in the band had empathy for my story and felt the meaning of the snake to me, an animal that brought the necessary revenge to all the fears in the world. That's how the name Ophiolatry was born.

2.Why did you want to play this genre?

Metal was always Ours pations, we love the art and the way express ourselves is playing Death Metal.

3. Did you know eachother before the band was formed?

Ophiolatry has two stages. First stages was 1998 when Ophiolatry was formed with George (Drums) Fabio (guitars) Antonio (Bass) and (Vocals) in that time no one knew eachother. Second stage is when Ophiolatry returned after a long break with the original member George on the drums, Jaime on Lead vocals, Diego on Bass and Fred on the lead guitars we knew each other.
