Interview by Patrick & Melinda
I see that you have a love for the cinema especially the black and white silent films. Do you have the desire to ever step into that medium to try to act or create your own films?
Cadaveria: Yes I love cinema, but I prefer to stay behind the camera instead of in front of it.
If you were not playing music right now and you were involved more deeply in cinema where do you think your goals would reach towards? Acting, Producing, Directing, or Script writing? Or perhaps a little of each?
th Vision was also directed by m
C: Surely directing and editing. I’m already doing this. Last two CADAVERIA music videos (Death Vision and Strangled idols are the tracks) were edited by me. Death Vision was also directed by me.
Do you remember the exact moment you were inspired in your life to write/play music, wasthere an exact event or particular person, that was the catalyst who really pushed you to strive for this achievement to become a singer/ frontwoman? C: I started singing for fun. Some friends of mine and me didn’t know how to spend our nights. I remember there were some Jack Daniel’s bottles around when we started playing some punk music in a cellar. The band name was Marciume and for them I wrote my first lyrics, in Italian. I remember there was a line speaking about purple snow falling from a grey sky. I had a lot of fun, I was eighteen or so and I had just discovered Heavy Metal.
Did you take vocal classes? What sort of things do you have to do to maintain your vocals?
C: Growl was my way of singing since the beginning, while I had to learn sing in clean. I took lessons for one year. The rest came with experience. To do a good performance on stage for me it is important to sleep at least 7 hours the night before and to warm-up my voice for few minutes before the show.
I heard that the first album you ever bought was Dynasty by Kiss. If you could invite any member of Kiss as a guest to sing or play guitar or any instrument for that matter on an upcoming Cadaveria album, who would it be, and what would you ask them to play? Would the music be more so in the vein of Cadaveria or perhaps towards kiss, or a crazy mix of the two? Contunued Next page>>>
