specifically I knew I wanted it to be a new project because it needed to
be an entirely new entity. Everything from Trhä was going to take place in and
talk about a very different place than any of my other projects. Especially
with the first album which is entirely based on the lore of a different
world in which the music exists and the languages are from. When I started
writing Nvenlanëg the first thing I did was "alandlhan nítaq ëlh" and
this was originally going to be Sadness (so was tálcunnana...) and they were even
going to be in Hadlhaj. Even before that what ended up being "jadështahh
nudahhhana dëvét" and "grã sôhhlen bem rhôn trhãthàs" were
originally going to be Sadness songs, but eventually the idea occurred to me to
make a whole new project that would be strictly black metal and also a specific
place to channel all the things related to the worlds I describe and also Trhä
would be the only project I write in Hadlhaj (the Sadness song
"fairysad" was originally called "jininic" but I changed it
to English for this reason). When I made Nvenlanëg I was listening to a lot of
Paysage d'Hiver and i wanted to do exactly that too. Also at first Trhä was
supposed to be anonymous and I wanted to have an anonymous project so that's
another reason I made a whole new one instead of making it part of my other
projects. Also Trhä sounds much different from Sadness and Life and everything
else.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">In Trhä you
use languages created by you -mostly Hadlhaj- and as far as I know the lyrics
tell kind of magical feelings and things happening on a fantastic new land
where your languages are used. What is the main purpose of it? Can we read
it as the real world is not enough to live desires, and it can only happen in a
place created in a person's mind? Is it a bit pessimistic or let's say
anarchic?</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">I fall into this other place voluntarily and involuntarily, voluntarily
for feeling that it is where I truly belong, I long for such a perfect place,
especially when I'm unsatisfied with where I am here on planet earth.
Involuntarily because all the things I create for Trhä come from my imagination
but also preexist in the deepest parts of my soul. Oftentimes I don't have to
search for inspiration or ideas, all of it is already there. I don't aim for
anything I compose to have negative or pessimistic connotations.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">How many words are there in your languages? How do you
create grammar? Do you take time to generate new words and write them
somewhere? Can you speak them fluently or do you check your notes while you are
writing a new song?</span></span></b></p>

on Hadlhaj because it's the most complete and internalized in me. There
are far more words than I can count. The grammar and syntax is created from an innate
sense of language I have for Hadlhaj and so when I create sentences I just
write them how they make sense. The word order is completely unrelated to any
other language that I know also. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I write all the new words I come up with in a
large archive that contains every Hadlhaj word and many things about grammar. I
can speak it somewhat fluently, when I'm writing lyrics, oftentimes I just
write the Hadlhaj translation from memory but I do also many times have to
refer to the word archives to remember how to say something. Learning Hadlhaj
isn't as easy as learning a language that millions of people speak because I
can't just talk to other Hadlhaj speakers or watch movies in Hadlhaj (although
that would be amazing).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">Since Trhä seems quite personal, how does your life
influence your music? And how does it feel still being underground and kind of
mysterious? Does it feed your music and its cult? On the other hand, could you
please tell me a bit more about the lyrical theme of Trhä? The books, authors,
philosophies or cultural heritage that inspire you if there are any.</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nothing I write for Trhä ever has anything to do with personal events directly
(almost always), but rather when I create stories I can refer to the magic I
have experienced in the beauty that exists in life and in this world. I
wouldn't say Trhä is mysterious anymore since everyone knows who I am, but I do
love retaining the mystery that I'm the only one who truly knows what I'm
saying. The lyrical themes of Trhä are usually magic, the magic of these
beautiful countries on the grand continent, ancient poems, history, absolutely
beautiful and perfect moments, simple and soft perfections in life in
Endlhëtonëg, poetry. I can only truly say that what influences the writings in
Trhä is my own imagination and what I feel deep in my soul.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">1. Make up
something (guitar, synths) until I have a full song (this is entirely unplanned
and usually on the spot improvising) as I almost never have anything written
beforehand, maybe sometimes I'll have ideas of how I want things to go but
there is really no composition before recording the riffs and melodies. This is
how I make music for all my projects, and I believe that the most magical art
comes from pure impulse, not from tedious work and organization. Sometimes I
will take something I recorded from many many years ago and use that in the
song, in that case I will copy the recording and put it where it belongs or
finish the song from where it left off.<br />
<br />
2. Record drums over the guitar/synth (again from impulse in the moment).<br />
<br />
3. If the song has bass, then bass. If not (it would be in the synths) and I'll
write lyrics, if I wrote them first in English I'll translate them to Hadlhaj,
then record vocals. I don't really discipline myself, whenever I make music I
just want to have fun.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">The hardest
part about Trhä's music is not really anything about the music because that's
easy and just flows, it's probably when I write out the lyrics by hand for the
LPs(<i>he uses an artistic alphabet he created</i>). Not that it's hard but
rather it's tedious and I have to take it slow so that it looks pretty.

If I
had tried, I could say atmospheric black metal (with so many melodic parts
though), ambient, dungeon synth etc. The songs have progressive structure and
you cannot guess what you will hear a few minutes later which I like
personally. A dark melody might continue with a joyful one. In some parts you
hear the influences of old school bands like Venom, some reminds me of Paysage
d'Hiver but mostly it is somehow unique, especially with using synth so often
and avant-garde vocal style. It is both raw and harsh but it makes me feel like
it is brand new with its production. You and your music are more emotional than
what we see from the others. Are there bands or musicians that influenced
you? How would you describe and categorize your music in black metal
scene? What would you tell me about your music style?</span></b></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The aim for
Trhä was always to play just pure black metal. Sometimes I drift away from
black metal a bit, but I would say Trhä is black metal. Like I said before
Paysage d'Hiver was a huge influence on the album Nvenlanëg, but other
than that I would say black metal in general, couldn't really name any bands or
artists in particular. Also Nuit Noire absolutely.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">As one of your followers, I know you work to create a
live band for Trhä to perform live music. How is it going? Did you hire the
musicians that will work with you and start rehearsing? When can we expect your
first concert in a realistic forecast?</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">Maybe 2024. I've gotten together some musicians so far I've even jammed a little
bit, I want to get this going and have high hopes this will turn out great.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga-08RhZnuV6yg3cPbfUjuN3R26ccXRB7l0opzYmzpV3F_tWvvJZDUN56kd-NTrdzYPTwUPNYTHQtgEUXlkbXcmz1q9zyCQUlOF2HdHc60gEAlIKu1Z1nGaz0-ELHvyC0VrqefaGPzbYFpefazHAG8wM0ugFQg1sX3j4QV1QQlA-NqHMKMxwr2LZUJ/s554/IMG-20230408-WA0017.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="554" data-original-width="554" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga-08RhZnuV6yg3cPbfUjuN3R26ccXRB7l0opzYmzpV3F_tWvvJZDUN56kd-NTrdzYPTwUPNYTHQtgEUXlkbXcmz1q9zyCQUlOF2HdHc60gEAlIKu1Z1nGaz0-ELHvyC0VrqefaGPzbYFpefazHAG8wM0ugFQg1sX3j4QV1QQlA-NqHMKMxwr2LZUJ/w304-h304/IMG-20230408-WA0017.jpg" width="304" /></span></a></div><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">Both with Trhä and Sadness you are producing new music
as splits with other musicians nowadays. What is the main motivation for it?
What do you see in Trhä’s future? Do you have any other plans that you work on?</span></span></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I thought it
would be fun to accept doing a split with anyone who asked, so right now I have
like 20 splits to do for Trhä and Sadness. I realized now I don't like having
the responsibility to do this but it's still fun to make music. Before I start
a new Trhä or Sadness album I'm going to finish all these splits. In the future
Trhä will have more full length albums (some of them are already planned).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span lang="EN-US">How important is Trhä for you? I guess you sometimes
get bored or lose your enthusiasm for any of your projects and it only belongs
to you whether you will continue to produce or not. Will Trhä be one of the
pioneers of your music for a long future?</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">Trhä is very important as it gives me a joyful and magical outlet for these
specific things I love to talk about. It's also just pure simplistic easy to
make music that's very expressive and very fun. It's also done very well for me
in supporting me and I've received many heartwarming comments from fans that
make it even better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

I had imagined this final record of the trilogy to be heavier, more devastating, dark, and vicious. It is by far the record most filled with hatred. The three basic human emotions I wanted to capture were tragedy ('Moonlover'), ecstasy ('Starmourner'), and dread/hatred ('Self Loather'). While at the same time, all of these express depression and sorrow. I believe in this record we found our sound. The original title was Sunloather, and though I hate the sun, I found that it did not fit with the theme of everything we were forming. There is something I hate much more than the sun. And so we made the decision to forego the cosmic prefix and replace it with the true nature of this album.

our city, Izmir on December, 16th 2019. I could never miss a chance to do an
interview with Away, drummer of this enchanting band whom I read his book many
times and delved into graphic arts in countless times. Thanks to Dystopia
Promoters, the dream came true, Voivodians had meet&greet in our metal bar,
Dinozor; experienced an extra-long setlist including both old and new material
and Fix My Heart after 25years at the breath-taking Voivod concert! What is
more this exclusive interview found its place in Black Metal Chronicles pages!<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

things; being a band from a small town in northern Quebec called Jonquière,
Canada back at the beginning of 80s, guitarist Piggy’s lost from cancer, bass
guitarist Blacky’s absence twice, but reformed in 2008 and still standing in the full force with fired up! In 2019, The Wake album hit the shelves having the

well, people love it since it came out last year September. The shows are doing
better, people show up, we play in front of crowds, we enjoy it a lot. Especially
it is more exciting to be here in Turkey for the first time, so it is

Japan, Australia, and Europe tour with “The Wake” album. How are the

America, they are more old school and they have huge moshpit, in Japan they are
more reserved during the songs, but between the songs, they applaud a lot, so
every country is sort of different, everybody seems to be into thrash metal
these days, so there has been lots of energy in the crowd.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

period of Voivod, Snake and I bring the old school touch, punk, so there are old
ingredients of the past plus a new twist. I think it is more fusion metal what we
have done for “The Wake”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and instrumental, but then Snake decided to bring some parts of the songs on
top of it, Chewy just went crazy and made it into a long song, and now it is
like a very complicated ending of the album, so I am not even ever sure if we
can play it alive, but will eventually, but it was something that actually we
wrote in the studio, so it was a bit difficult.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>

driving force to finish the pearls (2003’s Voivod, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">2006's Katorz, and 2009's Infini)</i> left from Piggy and move on after
Piggy’s lost? How was working with him? <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A:
Jason was very important, we did 3 albums with him, he has his own record label,
own studio. Like you said he was a driving force for these 3 albums. Also, his
bass playing is close to Black Sabbath so it was a good challenge for me to
adapt to this style, I loved it. It is a more stoner style. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

If I am not wrong, Voivod bass players are playing with the pick as well. Does
it have a specific contribution to Voivod sound or anything? Lemmy is the
musician that always did things his way like playing bass with the pick, and in
doing so he paved the way for so many other bands. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A: Yeah, all the bass players we have, play with the
pick. Piggy was very insistent on that. Our riffs are more appropriate for
playing with the pick. Rocky, he likes to play the Voivod songs without the
pick and it is perfect as well, both would work. For me, I am a big fan of Iron
Maiden, Steve Harris plays with his fingers and I am a huge fan of Lemmy
from Motörhead, he plays with the pick, so I can understand both styles. But for
Voivod, it might be more appropriate to pay with the pick. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

The chemistry, the new line up are
all fantastic. I think that’s why the new album is so well received. We worked
a lot on it and there is no way that we could have worked as hard on this album
without having that type of chemistry right now. So things are doing very well
and we have started writing new material!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

What wonderful news! Waiting for the new album eagerly! Let’s talk about the setlist now. You have chosen songs from the first 7 and last 2 albums. No songs from
Eric Forrest and Jason Newsted era, what is the reason for this? <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

But sometimes we play ‘Forlorn’ from Eric era, sometimes ‘Global Warning’ and ‘Treasure
Chase’ from the Jason era, but at this moment we play songs from “The Outer Limits”,
new material from “Post Society” and “The Wake”. But this is for the moment. We
have been discussing playing the songs ‘Mercury’, ‘Nanoman’, so
eventually, it will come to the setlist. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is wonderful to hear that! Can’t wait! So, after all, you have 35+ years

have received? How do you interpret the metal scene these days?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

So during the grunge act years and then after the
techno year, it was more difficult but these days there are young people into
thrash metal all around the world. And we tried to look like what we had looked
back then and we see them singing the lyrics of the new album as well so it is very
exciting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

nothing face, alienation of the outside world meaning living into a sort of
hypercube. Missing Sequences is related with Alcan Al factory knowing causes to
Alzheimer, sub-effect is paranormal, the inner contribution is about alchemy.
Voivod’s mercury symbolism started by this. Maybe you know, mercury was
considered the spirit of any given material in ancient times. Paracelsus
explained it simply as such, saying: "For Mercury is the spirit (as mind),
sulfur is the soul, and salt is the body, and mercury was thought to transcend
life/death and heaven/earth”. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

talked about mercury in the “Phobos” album. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

It was the reason that you called Away because of being away when there was a rehearsal, right? Then you directed your career towards music. What do you
think right now when you look back? Are you satisfied with your choice?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

know what would have happened to me if I was going to keep on studying at the
university. But it was impossible to go because of the whole work, so I decided
to try music. By the way, I did go back to school twice, but it was studying in
2D, 3D animation. I never got back to school in science. In the end, I am very
satisfied with what happened in my life, I am happy with all those travels I did,
all the friends I met, new friends, old friends. I have a fantastic life also
because when I am not touring or recording with Voivod, I am doing art for
other bands at home. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

I would like to mention something when I met you here. I am a horror story
author, I wrote a story that influenced by Voivod song ‘Le Pont Noir’ including
a character called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Eric Le Pont Noir</i> who
is the last original vampire, book, and LP collector. There are also many Voivod
songs references due to the context as it is a puzzle story that only a Voivodian
can understand, what is going on really.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is a gothic horror storybook called İstanbul'un Karanlığında (Within the Darkness of Istanbul) having two authors both have 3 stories
and will be published this year. <o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

Le Pont Noir is
influenced by an old folk tale. Whenever people build a bridge in Quebec, it was
said that the first person who would cross it, there was a chance that the
devil hiding under the bridge, take his/her soul, so all the time the creature who passes the bridge first is a black cat, so devil takes its soul
instead of a human being.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

journey. I even recall exchanging letters with Euronymous, his pushing me into
underground bands, me, pushing him into Voivod. When the internet was available
in Turkey around 1993-4 my first search was on Voivod. In a short time with luck
I get to meet their manager and then reach Away online. A connection with Away
since then has been slowly building up the İzmir Voivod gig. In the meantime, I
had visited Voivod during Negatron tour in Prague and during Phobos tour in
London, hanged around with the band members and have fond memories of their
down to earth & intellectual personalities, and their unbelievable quality
of music. Both gigs were in small bar-venues since the 1990s weren't good for
metal bands but Voivod was delivering their unique setlist to their hardcore
fans. Later when I started to promote band gigs, the initial plan was to have both
Mekong Delta and Voivod on the same bill in 2014, but due to Voivod's position
only MD played. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

chance when Eric Forrest was playing a few shows re-visiting his
Negatron-Phobos era Voivod by only playing songs from those two albums so I
invited E-Force to İzmir to fill the stage with his sound in 2017. Without
knowing at the time I'll have Voivod in 2019, I became the only lucky one to
have both bands and thus resulting in getting to hear all eras of Voivod live
on the gigs (as of now Voivod hasn't played live any Negatron-Phobos songs with

Dec 2019 Voivod walked in İzmir. My partner in crime IronFist Organization and
I had a great couple of days with the band and they enjoyed their time here. It
was the most eastern part they had ever visited and they enjoyed every moment.
They had been in Europe for a month full of gigs, living on a tour bus and
supporting Gwar! and after that snowy tour, İzmir was a sunny welcome with
climate, people, and food. Their visit to Dinozor Metal Bar to meet fans was
cool on Sunday night, especially as the band entered the bar the intro of Star
Wars was played, kinda amused the band. Since it was the only headline show for
Voivod in this tour, and first ever in Turkey they decided to add a few more
gems in their long setlists like Tribal Convictions which was never before
played live with Chewy and Rocky. A Monday night and İzmir don't go hand in
hand for metal shows but around 150 people showed up. The backline, setup, and
sound engineering were top-notch, and Voivod gave all they had on and off the
stage, creating both a sonical and social trace in the audience. Voivod went
back with great memories and promised to come back for a Turkey tour on the
next album's tour.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

has been in the scene since 1997 but various breaks by time. The latest
full-length “Of Past and Passion” is released in April 2019 from Sleaszy Rider
Records. What do you want to say about the band’s evolution? Can we say that
Forgotten has set up the final line-up nowadays?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>

scene since 1995. In my opinion in life we can never say “this if final”, we
can only hope, I think. I hope this is final line up of Forgotten. We changed
line up several times and our music turned into a darker direction. We were
always keeping doom metal touches within our music and mixing with them with
some folk and epic melodies but now we put an end to use folk melodies and left
only doom side of Forgotten. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>

the latest full-length “Of Past and Passion”, the music genre has changed to
doom/death metal and the band fully delved into a heavy atmosphere where
listener can even touch melancholia conveying via notes. What was the reason of
this diversion? Is it a new era under the same name?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>

band with doom metal touches, you can hear them in our demos, especially in our
second demo Retreat. But as every creature in the world we also progress and
change. So, I can’t explain the reason of this change, may be because of the
environment around us or may be because of the age but somehow we changed. May
be the best answer is that we began to feel in this way. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the good works in 2019. Could you please tell about the mastering, mixing steps

We recorded
it at Studio Deep in Ankara. Our friend Deniz Durdağ mixed and mastered the
album. I must mention that this album could not be good if our producer Ali
Öztürk and Deniz Durdağ were not with us. Ali forced us to play as good as we
can, we recorded our parts several times, sometimes we deleted some of the
recorded parts and again we recorded. Drums are recorded twice to get the best
performance and sound etc. Deniz is one of the best sound engineers in Turkey.
Mixing and mastering sessions took some months. We talked to Deniz several
times about the sound and at the end we understood each other very well, we
understood what he can do and he understood what we want. Here, the magical
word is “communication”, we are old friends and we know each other very well
and we know what we want. We felt very comfortable when we work together. This
is the reason behind the good production quality.</span></p>

do not think that there is a difference between instrumental songs and songs
with lyrics. So they are all same for us, there is no difference. There will be
two instrumental songs in the new album too.<span style="color: red;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

negative criticism we heard about the album. That’s because we didn’t want to

Past and Passion” reminds me the early Katatonia and early Lacrimas Profundere.

doom/death music mean to you? What is the main lyrical content of the album? <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

I mostly prefer music that awakes some emotions in me. I see it as a tool to give yourself and the listener goose bumps. The lyrical content is mainly about what time does to the living things. It is about how life generates, evolves and ends. The phases a human being or a plant experience during its journey in this planet.</span></p>

relations and policy because of my work and education. And they made me sick
after a while; I think my creativity comes from the reality, real world and its
disgusting nature. In literary sense; I love to read especially Poe, Orhan
Kemal, as musical sense; I love all kind of music I do not separate genres, I
listen what I love. But they do not feed me on their own, they all together
feed me. I mean for example, Orhan Kemal does not feed me, the spirit of him
and the real world combines together and they all together feed me. <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

between genres. Apart from metal, I listen to every type of music that evokes
something in me. Besides music, almost everything we come across in daily life
is feeding me in creativity. About literature, I can say that Charles
Baudelaire is the most inspiring author for me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

found huge crowds in front of you when we are talking about doom metal. People
who come to your shows are mostly expecting to hear that emotional sound and
they are sensitive about it. You have to pick the right tunes and give the
requested dark ambience to make them satisfied. For this, choosing a suitable
intro to prepare the atmosphere is important I think. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

“Of Past And Passion” but we have some death metal touches too. There will be
very heavy and aggressive songs also we have in the second album. Bu general
feeling, direction etc. are same with “Of Past And Passion”. There will be nine
songs and it will be a longer album, approximately 55 minutes more or less. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

rehearsal routines. Because of the pandemic we cannot come together and work on
the songs and lyrics and play together. Because of this, generally I wrote the
riffs on the new album and with Ali Öztürk from Studio Deep we are arranging.
Ali is also writing some riffs for the album when we work together. Now we are
recording the demos of the songs and we will send them to other members to

and Harun, your thrash metal project Trenchwar is ready to release the debut

came across some delay due to the pandemic. What is the last situation? Could
you please tell about the motivation and the main desires of Trenchwar?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

We will send it
for manufacturing to our label nowadays. Trenchwar was a one man project of me,
I am a huge fan of thrash metal, especially Bay Area thrash metal. Since my
childhood, I wanted to make thrash metal, Forgotten was also founded as a
thrash metal band, after a while I changed the style. But the thrash metal
flame was burning within me, when I decided to stop the activity of Forgotten
in 2010s, I began to write thrash metal songs but not for an album, it was just
for myself to express my feelings by guitar. And after a while I realized that
I can make thrash metal songs and decided to record them. While recording the
album other members joined the band. We are criticizing politicians, policy,
religion, social decay etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>

has a powerful metal scene and many extreme acts in the underground. However,
as I see that Ankara has a different vibe, scene is stronger, passion is higher,
and many great bands are form Ankara in the Turkish metal history. What do you
want to say about the city and scene?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>

compared to other cities. I think this is because of the social life, geography
just like in Great Britain. In Izmir you can go somewhere to drink beer and
watch the bay, and you can spend your time there, the weather is warm, the sky
is blue etc., in Istanbul you can spend your time everywhere, the weather is
good, you can join in tons of activities, there is Bosporus and sea etc., but
in Ankara we do not have opportunities like you, we buy a case of beer and play
in the practice room, and the sky is grey may be 6 months, it is very dark,
dark grey. It changes our mood personally in bad way but in good way for the
creativity and in winter very cold here, nobody goes out, and we stay at home
and play and play and play. This is the difference of us and Ankara. Because of
this, the metal bands of Ankara are great and always will be. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

This is made clear - resoundingly so - by O Tempora, O Mores! (Cicero: "Oh the times! Oh the customs!"), the project's first album.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Vrîmuot (Middle High German for "candour") was founded by composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer T.S.. While staying true to the genre's core aesthetics and stylings, his music rather equals a reinforcement and update of old neofolk values, created the DIY-way without any digital tools and unfolding in unusually long, intense narratives of crafty complexity.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
O Tempora, O Mores! was mastered by Markus Stock (Empyrium) and is available as 2CD hardcover book edition (18x18cm, 36 pages with lush artwork and a 18-minutes bonus CD with two exclusive songs) and LP.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We started as a two-man project in 2013 with a certain idea

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Latin word “Phrenesis” translates to insanity or
madness, which summarizes the feeling and emotion of the songs on this concept
album. The themes cover substance abuse with recurrent depressive thoughts,
loneliness, loss of control and evidently death. It is a strong word to
indicate the heaviness of the themes we cover.

<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The band name “Lichtblick” is also controversial. Do you
want to give a contrast by mentioning hope in the name? <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes, we intended to use this name because of the
contradiction within. “Lichtblick” can be translated to “ray of hope”. The
meaning for us is that all problems, pains, worries, dreams, and hopes,
basically everything will definitely come to an end, like the light at the end
of the tunnel. No matter what you do, the end will always be the same. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How was the production process? The sound came very clear
and well-settled. As the production is a bit tricky for the depressive black
metal bands time to time, they may miss the best tune while they are trying to
sound rough and distortedly depressive. Lichtblick seems to overcome this
burden and creates a melancholic atmosphere that burns from cradle to grave.</span></span></b></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The production process was very exciting for us, but it took
some time. We had a certain idea and sound in mind for our album. Our producer,
who is a good friend of ours, was able to even surpass our expectations. It was
tricky, since we never wanted this lo-fi sound typical for “classic” black
metal. We wanted to mix clean passages and clear sounds with rough distortions
to create overwhelming soundscapes and walls. It was important to us to get a
good and quality tone that delivers the feelings and emotions we intended to
the listener. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

types, and different emotions from melancholy to ecstasy. I sense some Carl
McCoy like gothic vocals as well from time to time. How do you define your

oneself. Probably a mix of classy DSBM-sounds like Regnum or Austere mixed with
some Post Rock-elements regarding the effects we use for our guitars and

<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am always curious of the crossroad of arts that makes this
journey deeper and darker. So, how is your relationship with literature? Do you
have any literary influences? I remember Georg Trakl as an Austrian poet who is
known for his very dark art. Pavese or Cicero are also known to carry a similar
suicidal vein in their philosophy like you have in your music.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes, in fact we take some inspiration in literature.
Currently we are working on a track influenced by Johann Wolfgang v. Goethes
“Zauberlehrling”. Some of us enjoy “dark romantic” poets like Edgar Allan Poe
or Stefan Zweig, but we take inspiration rather from our personal experiences
with life situations and how we coped with them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lichtblick is meant to be a live-band, but sometimes it's
difficult to find the matching audience for our music. Our live shows are
always very intense for all of us. Especially our singer needs a recovery time
after performing live.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We hope that the current situation with the pandemic gets
back to normal as soon as possible. The current lockdown might be necessary,
but it’s not the definite answer. We had to cancel a small European tour in
March and some local events before summer due to the lockdown. We don't know
how the music/concert scene will be after all this, but we hope it will recover
quickly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

end of last March, we released our First Ep album Eternal Decay. We did all the
recording and mixing by ourselves. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

but shines among others with its more alive powerful drums and dark ambience
knitting melodies with sharp screams hence drives the listener to catch the infernal
rhythm till the end. One can really delve into Eternal Decay if once figures
out this connectedness. How do you define your music and its diversity in your
words?</span></b></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Our current sound can be
described as dark, raw, melodic black metal, but in doing so we have been
influenced by both Norwegian and Finnish bands. But in general, we aimed to
reflect the old pure raw form of black metal to our music, we took the old pure
dirty filthy sound of 90s black metal in the recording and mixing process and
we think that we achieved our goal. We have recorded the album during night
times, usually at late hours as we feel more comfortable recording at night,
and this is also affected our sound and mood.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

different taste in music, mostly black-metal and death-metal but everyone's favorite
sub-genre is different. For instance, I like grindcore, old school death metal,
I also love all-time rock legends such as Black Sabbath and Zeppelin. Kaulfel
likes Death-Metal, and Old School Black metal the most, But we all like Raw Old
School Black metal so it was a common thing for us. As the musicians, we sure have
influenced from other genres but speaking of Daelkyr our goal is to create Raw
Pure Black Metal so we didn’t add so much stuff rather than Black Metal.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Barnes was my hero (I like Chris Barnes Cannibal Corpse), Abbath was my

Hypocrisy Album “Abducted”, I was very impressed by the vocal diversity
(screams, low growls, high pitch screams, clean singing) and there was only one
vocalist on the album. Those times this was a big thing. So, I can easily say that
Peter Tägtgren is main influencer for me. And I also really adore his passion

December 2007, I joined the band on drums. After the release of second album
“Protest Against Humanity”, O.S. quitted the band. Finally, by November 2018,
Ilgar has joined the band on bass guitar and Zifir has become a trio once
again. And yes, Black Metal background of members have quite long history.

which had huge influence on him for the rest of his life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

quality as well. Especially the deep, rich drum sound conveys the avant-garde

Both were done at İstanbul but by different people. Especially the drum sound
took the most of efforts in order to achieve “what was desired”. It is really
not easy to judge the sound, when you are heavily working on the record and
keep listening different versions over and over again. However, despite long
sessions, the result came in a very solid way and we are satisfied with it. To
decide sound of individual instruments and whole album is very much related to
the identity of the band, even attitude & approach towards Black Metal. We
always consider album concept and then define/set the sound expectations
accordingly.</span></div>

vein of Darkthrone, Burzum and MayheM. Darkthrone sound is very special indeed.
One cannot admit that there is no radiation of unholy vibes and influence from
Darkthrone sound coming into the body and penetrate fully inside... We were honored when Fenriz played our song “769” in his
radio program where he mentioned that he found the whole album quite solid…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

be there, to set the basis. This comes from the riffing and drumming structure

mentioned, sharp criticism (direct attack) and mockery is the dual ways we use
when writing lyrics. Each and every song, we discuss internally, the idea and
the expression way of lyrics. Words are carefully chosen and used by sequence.
There are also many “reverse voices” used and these are several hidden messages
embedded in the album.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we decide album titles. First of all, it should represent the overall concept
and each theme that are covered in the album. We see the album title as a kind
of “seal” for our album. It is the ultimate form of our commitment & statement;
for ourselves and for the others. Usually album titles come at the very last
stage of the whole process.</span></div>

successful, with lots of audience and it was simply fine to travel around in
Europe a little, meeting interesting people, visiting new places. The

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">For
me, new album has such different vein, can be said more energetic. It still has
doom, folkloric and dark influences carrying Helrunar marks like the previous albums
but something shining and more dynamic at there. What do you think?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">That is my feeling about the new album, too! “Niederkunfft”
had stronger Death- and Doom-influences that figure quite fine with the lyrical
concept and the general atmosphere, but “VANITAS VANITATVM” is somehow more “back
to the roots” again, regarding the Black Metal-parts, but also more dynamic,
more “fresh”… maybe because of some Thrash Metal and Dissection-influences. But
I can´t really put my finger onto it… we write our sound often quite
instinctively, not really thinking about which influences we´re going to use or
where the whole thing shall lead. But it is far more dynamic, yes, definitely!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Regarding our situation and our way of working it is
the best line-up we can have I guess. Sebastian is doing the greatest part of
the compositions and I am responsible for the lyrics… and it works perfectly!
Our live musicians are Stefan and Árni from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Árstiðir

the German Death Metal-Band <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Abrogation.</i>

fulfilling a vital role in the band and our personal interaction and friendship
are just fine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

vanitas is also used for memento mori and the album name can be translated as
vanity of vanities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you please talk

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I guess the foundation of the album concept is still
inspired by early modern history, like on “Niederkunfft”. But yes, while
“Niederkunfft” had a primary historic perspective, “Vanitas Vanitatum” points
at modern social and cultural developments. It is not difficult to discover
vanity anywhere in our modern society – just take a look at all the social networks
and how people behave and present themselves there. Everybody seems to be more
beautiful, more special, and smarter than anyone else and, of course, everybody
is more right. Our ways of communication and perception – be it of ourselves,
of others or of the world – have changed drastically within just one decade. No
one can tell yet what the consequences will be… we will have rising numbers of
mental disorders, burnouts and depression over the coming years if you ask me.
People are desperately trying to be special, be it by posting and sharing stuff
to define themselves, to achieve a feeling of identity, or by posting idealized
and photoshopped images of their wannabe-perfect bodies and lifestyle to gather
“likes” in social networks. This might work as a short-term saturation of
emotional desires, but actually it´s all vain, it´s all hollow, it´s all
nothing. That´s “Vanitas Vanitatum” mainly deals with by drawing inspiration
from mythology, history and poetry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I read that you used references from German dramatist and poet Andreas Gryphius

that I appreciate… for example Friedrich Hölderlin, Rainer Maria Rilke, Paul
Celan and Gottfried Benn when it comes to German authors. I like Andreas
Gryphius especially for his Vanitas-poems, for example “Es ist alles eitel”
(“All is vain”) or “Threnen des Vatterlandes” (“Tears of the Fatherland”). The
latter one is a strong description of the cruelties of the 30-years-war and
what they did to the minds of people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">German
authors, poets are hand in glove with melancholy like Andreas Gryphius,
Hölderlin, Novalis and even Goethe. What do you think about melancholy in
German culture? What does it mean for
you and for your music?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Well… melancholy and especially <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sehnsucht </i>are quite important aspects in the German arts of the 19<sup>th</sup>
century. The word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sehnsucht </i>cannot so
easily be translated into another language… the English <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">longing </i>falls too short. It describes a longing, but by the same
time a feeling of addiction to this longing, until the longing itself becomes
the fulfilment. Hard to describe… you mentioned various important authors from
different periods: Gryphius is the earliest one, he is baroque era (17<sup>th</sup>
century), he experienced the cruelties of the 30-years-war and a lot of his
poetry therefore deals with the already mentioned Vanitas-motive. Novalis is a
romantic (late 18<sup>th</sup>/ early 19<sup>th</sup> century) and the term <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sehnsucht </i>mainly was of importance for
him (the romantics defined their works strongly by melancholy and longing), while
Goethe and Hölderlin are merely representants of the classical period (19<sup>th</sup>
century). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">But now that I think about it, I am not so sure if melancholy is so
special for German arts. Dark feelings, sadness, pain, melancholy have always
been a motivation, for artists from everywhere.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is often said that Germans have a strong connection to nature,
melancholy and to the dark forests of their homeland, this might point back to
the romantic era, when all this melancholy and nature-mysticism was </span><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">en vogue </i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">in the arts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">But, however, the
romantic era is over and nowadays I really can´t say that Germans are more
melancholic, or appreciate nature and poetry more than other people on this
planet. But however, I draw a lot of inspiration and often even comfort from
the mentioned authors and many more. The music we make is dark and melancholic,
definitely, and it has to. The world is a dark and sad place and our art should
reflect it. I hope my thoughts about this answer your question properly.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The cover photo was taken by William Mortensen, an
American photographer who was active in the first decades of the 20<sup>th</sup>
century, mainly concentrating on erotic and occult photography. I discovered it
by accident and it was not easy to identify the artist and the title and to
research the copyrights. We had to get in contact with the archive of the University
of Arizona, where the original image is stored nowadays. The librarians there
were really friendly guys and offered us a high-resolution scan. The title of
the image is “The death of Hypatia”… Hypatia was a female astronomer,
mathematician and philosopher who lived in Alexandria in the ancient world… for
me, she represents intelligence, wisdom and freedom, as a symbol. She was
killed by Christian fanatics in the year of 415. They dragged her into a church
and cut the flesh from her living body with brick-shards, so it is said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Well, what you find in the internet is information,
while myths, tales and history are a well of knowledge and wisdom. Information
is of no use if you don´t know the context well. Many people think that they
are oh-so-well-informed nowadays, but they don´t understand a shit. Myths and
tales on the other hand have grown over hundreds, sometimes thousands of years
and preserve the emotions, thoughts and experiences of many, many human beings.
They have a kind of “open meaning”… every time you hear or read them anew, you
can find new aspects and reflect your own existence in a new way. I can´t say
which sort of myths or tales is most influential for me… I like to read and
know them all, if possible. “A book shall be the axe for the frozen sea within
us”, as Franz Kafka wrote.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lyrics are mostly in German, I’m curious if the decision to use it related with
the old sagas that you are influenced? How do you find the phonetics of German
language? And if I’m not wrong, it is some different German dialects that you
used on vocals?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I use various Germanic languages and it depends on the
mood and atmosphere I want to create which one I am going to use. I mainly use
normal modern German, for it is my mother tongue and it is simply the easiest way
for me to write lyrics. If I want it archaic, I go for Old-Norse, if it simply
needs a Nordic touch I´ll choose Norwegian or Icelandic (both languages are far
better than German if you want to sing “dirty”). On “Niederkunfft” and also “Vanitas
Vanitatum” I used early modern German (as it was spoken from 16<sup>th</sup> to
17<sup>th</sup> century) to get a kind of historical feeling into the lyrics.
And for “Wöljager” I use the regional dialect which is, at least for me,
connected to a lot of authentic old-time and nostalgic feelings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It´s absolutely ok to use them. An artist should use
any instrument or tool that helps him to realize his vision and should not take
care for borders or clichés. But what I dislike is this modern
humpty-dumpty-pseudo-medieval-Pagan-Metal-bullshit, simply because it has more
to do with Disneyland than with mythology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I guess <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Helrunar
</i>is mainly based in the Black-/Death Metal-genre musically, with lyrics that
are mostly in German and sometimes tend to be more modern, although they were
quite strongly influenced by Old Norse mythology and poetry when we started. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Árstiðir lífsins</i> draws a lot of musical
inspiration from the Norwegian Black Metal of the 90ies, but also from
symphonic or Nordic folk music, while the lyrics are always dealing with the
history and mythology of medieval Scandinavia. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wöljager</i> is a little different… it is dark and melancholic (Neo-) folk
music with lyrics in the dialect of my home region, the Münsterland. This
dialect is nearly extinct, but I learned it from my grandfather. The lyrics
deal with folklore, nature and human life in past times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Actually, I listen to a lot of various music genres… classical
music, but also soundtracks, lots of folk, Rock music from the 60s or 70s, even
electronic music sometimes, and any kind of Metal, of course. During the last
months I enjoyed Synthwave a lot. Everything flows in. But there is a certain
parallel between classical or soundtrack music and Metal… I guess there is an
epic, emotional aspect and also the musical depth that symphonic music and
Metal often share. Yes, very many popular classical composers came from Germany
and I guess they are still a strong part of German identity. But in German
everyday life they don´t play such an important role anymore, at least my
impression. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

illustrative purposes: convoluted rhythms or numerical patterns, certain chord
patterns, or either the use or rejection of melody are just a naturally
occurring language as a means of expression for individuals without formal
musical training such as ourselves. The basics for our songs are always written
on an unplugged Gibson guitar, so as to hide behind neither distortion nor
effects. Just the naked truth of an organic instrument. One might add that our
whole equipment is actually pretty close to a typical 1970s hard-rock band.
What you then hear and read is the projection of a vision.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Twice, man committed the highest of crimes: by waging an absolutist war against
nature and, therefore, against life itself. And, secondly, by severing the bond
to nature and forging an anthropocentric worldview that places man above
everything else and, therefore, can be used to justify just about anything – no
matter how short-sighted or ill-advised – so long as it appears to serve
mankind’s interests. Extracting man from the natural order, by intent if not in
effect, was a sign of hubris which remains literally without equivalent and
whose resulting devastations will know no equivalent either. Listen carefully
enough and you’ll hear demonic snigger”.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
