After the review of End we exchanged some impressions with frontman Gabriel to know more about the current state of Infection Code, here's the result:
Hello and Welcome back Gabriele NeuroPrison up. Three years have passed from "Intimacy" and once again you took the right time to focus on ideas, and finding the right way to channel everything through the new songs they see further expand your sound spectrum, tell us a little of that has happened in this time ....
Thanks for hosting again in the pages of our Neuroprison beast. It has been three years when we took our time to play some 'around promoting "Intimacy" and then to lay the groundwork for a new album. We were not too much to think about how we had to evolve / devolving, but we responded scream desperate and heartbreaking emotion of our art that asks us to create new songs. After about a year and a half of work has been released "Finish".
the new album in my opinion plays a role in the electronics even more crucial for the final result that you have come, the atmosphere is always dark cmq but without affecting the identity of the sound band breathe a different air, I dare say the result of the final maturity reached ....
I think that the electronics and testing associated with it to create new atmospheres, has played a decisive role, as well as the use of guitar and voice. Many things have changed in sound level in recent years at 'internal band. The electronics, if the first was just a final landscaping is now part of our identity and style guide the destiny of a song. Along with a new use of the guitar want to make the compositions more dark and sick and play a lot on the feedback, noise, rather than the single riff.
Think with FINE to have reached a sort of turning point in your career, I mean whether in light of this record, there may be future of new forms of expression or even quite radical stylistic choices?
During composition we have set only one point: that "End" was to be a turning point in art. We wanted to break away from the things done before in a drastic way, and leaner. Give a cut in the past to venture into new things that we could give new emotions. We started as a Death-Thrash band and we were a bit 'tired of being seen as a group of extreme metal. We want to continue to be extreme, difficult and annoying, but speaking with other subtleties of sound. Still trying to maintain our identity, that, and I do not want to sin presumption, is unique and ever-changing. Whatever we do, we will always be us.
With regard to the production you have got to be able to count on Eraldo Bernocchi, how you got to work with him and what his vision has influenced the sound of the album?
For some time, "Intimacy" with Eraldo we had not felt for a possible collaboration, and when we finished composing the songs on "Finish" we did not hesitate even a minute. We felt and we asked him if he wanted to mix and produce it. We wanted to bring something visionary and disturbing to the sounds of "Fine" with a little cutting metal / rock and more experimental. We wanted to have a production away from the classical discs post hardcore / metal / industrial and I think he was the right person to create this sound magma. He was thrilled to participate actively in this adventure and has proved a very eclectic person with a culture and a crazy musical artistry and monstrous. Certainly not us to discover the immense talent of Bernocchi. We felt flattered that he wanted to be in the game. E 'come out with something strange, unique, and let annoying, wonderful. An experience that left them even sign on the grooves of the disc.
I was very surprised by the cover of "Cupe vamp of CSI, I confess Listens to lend me that before I was very skeptical about the possible outcome and instead I had to change his mind big time. In the past you told us to appreciate our local band, because the choice fell on this song?
Much of the band loves what they have done these characters, first with CCCP and then with CSI. They are among our favorite plays. Along with a few other mainstream groups have managed to create a huge space between rock music with a certain specific gravity and rock entertainment. Theirs is pure poetry. That both electrical and acoustic CSI gave us the immortal pearls of enormous and incredible musical expression. Giovanni Lindo Ferretti a singer in the strict sense of the term. But it is the best. His poems, his interpretation, his being so little and so much frontman icon makes it unique. Whether you agree with what he writes and what he thinks or not. It is expressed in a way that can not hurt you. We wanted to pay homage to one of the largest Italian bands of all time. We wanted to do it our way. Choosing one of the most beautiful and evocative songs I've ever written. It 'was a gamble. But even before we knew that we would upset win. Why did we do with the heart and soul in his hand.
All the pieces of the album have a distinct personality, but I was particularly Grey fascinated by that as I wrote under review has brought me to mind the great notes and gray Neurosis Eye of Every Storm, and I think we can perhaps be regarded as the biggest challenge on your part from the artistic point of view until now, do you agree?
"Grey" is perhaps the first born. It 's the first child of this new marriage. "Grey" was terrible. All 'a bit early' inconclusive and not very reassuring. We are not convinced. And we did not like. We tried to breed it, care for, protect, educate them in a more experimental sound with tons of effects, feedback and stylistic upheavals. It 's the piece that made us slam more. Eventually our efforts were rewarded. G rey "has grown. Strong, with personality, character, and can now walk on her own. Make its way by itself. Overcoming obstacles and problems. Growing old alone. We have not thought of Neurosis, much less a monumental album like "Eye of Every Storm." Perhaps our unconscious is speaking and we played this joke. The Neurosis were our fathers, and this probably has had an enormous influence to "Grey".
Focusing on the lyrics of the album is easy to see what color cues are a constant metaphor for the mood that reigns in the various songs ... what topics are covered?
I wanted to play with the colors of telling stories that are not linked together. It could be a concept on the colors but it is not in the strict sense. I wanted to tell very personal stories and thoughts by treating them as if they were colors. Besides, my life, if we wanted to synthesize and summarize it by playing with the color of the world is colored with black, white, gray, red and purple in "Varnish" is art that comes alive and kills the 'artist, or in "Painting my life" of a painter who makes a mockery of death portrayed in tones and bright colors and flashy, or in "Collapse of the red side" where the ideal of a man drowning in a bath of blood and lies.
Tell us a little of the charming artwork, who is the author and what it represents?
The artwork, as all our work has been created, designed and built by Enrico, bass player and creator of noise behind tons of infernal contraptions. You put a personal vision on canvas of what the music of "End" has suggested. His works are very abstract and personal, encapsulating perfectly the claustrophobia and the sense of unease that the music of infection code describes and praises.
At END have also a new record deal, with the return to New LM Records ...
The agreement with what is old is NEW LM. We know them from the time of our second album, which produced. Then there was the interlude with the Beyond prod who brought "Intimacy" and now here we go again, again with the NEW LM. After breaking with the Beyond (also in a friendly way) do not deny that we have looked around a label, not least foreign to us could support. We did listen to the album around to several record labels but no one heard of the bet on us. NEW The LM was once again, our lifeline. They are small, but passionate and know what they want. But above all do what they say.
Regarding the live aspect of what you have planned? There is already a tour to promote the new record coming?
not talking about the tour. We do not use big words. It will be very hard to organize some gigs here and there sporadically in Italy. Meanwhile we will continue to write new things and here we would like to leave a short split, perhaps in vinyl, a seven-inch with some other band. Indeed, I take this opportunity to launch an appeal: those wishing to participate with us in this split it is welcome. We are also working on the sketches, still very immature of songs and then we're venturing to overturn one another immortal song, which has made the history of rock visionary and lysergic acid. It released a version very personal.
Ok, we concluded, thank you for your time and you've given us good luck!
of Neuroprison Thank you for the space and support. Stay Noise!
