Vital-lusion
Vital-lusion
is a U.S. based band that is here to present us their approach in music,
which they use as the medium, the way that allows them to express their
deepest thoughts and views. Their message is crystal clear and is based
on their love of God, so Vital-lusion can be described as a white metal
group. Mark, who's here presenting the band, wasn't very talkative, cause
as a band they firmly believe that music and lyrics are the vital part,
the part we should all let it speak for itself. Self-praising has no place
here... Just honest words straight from the heart!
1.HELLO MARK! HOW ARE YOU? FIRST OF ALL, SINCE
VITAL-LUSION IS A NEW BAND I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TELL US A FEW THINGS ABOUT
IT AND PRESENT THE CURRENT LINE-UP…
Vital-lusion is currently working on new recordings
and the people in the band are: Mark on lead guitar and back up vocals,
Ronnie on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Mark on bass and Jason on drums.
2.HAVE YOU PLAYED IN OTHER BANDS BEFORE YOU FORM
VITAL – LUSION? IF YES, HAVE YOU RELEASED ANYTHING WITH THEM?
Yes I have, but I have never recorded anything
else with them.
3.AS I SAW ON YOUR SITE, YOU HAVEN’T SIGNED WITH
A LABEL YET. HOW MANY SONGS YOU HAVE READY AND WHICH OF THE SONGS THAT
YOU HAVE COMPOSED SO FAR, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IS YOUR MOST REPRESENTATIVE?
We have about ten songs and we are in the
process of recording at this time.
4.WHO WRITES THE LYRICS IN THE BAND? WHAT KIND
OF SUBJECTS INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE? YOU LIKE TO USE SYMBOLISMS IN YOUR LYRICS
OR TALK AS AS STRAIGHT AND CLEAR YOU CAN?
Ronnie wrote all the lyrics but on "Bullet"
our first bass player was the one who wrote the lyrics. Our music is inspired
by the word of god and we try to talk as clear as we can.
5.WHAT KIND OF REACTIONS DO YOU GET FROM THE METAL
FANS WHEN THEY LEARN THAT YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN METAL BAND? IN YOUR OPINION,
WHICH WAS THE MOST EXTREME BEHAVIOR THAT YOU HAVE CONFRONTED UP TO NOW?
Nobody has had any problem with it.
6.CAN YOU TELL US WHICH BANDS YOU THINK ARE AMONGST
YOUR INFLUENCES AND CAN YOU NAME 5 OF YOUR ALL TIME FAVORITE METAL ALBUMS?
Van Halen's first album, Stryper's "Back For
The Attack", Cacophony's first album, Scorpions' first album, Sammy Hagar
and The Wabos.
7.WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FROM A LABEL TO OFFER YOU
IN ORDER TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THEM? WOULD YOU SIGN A CONTRACT WITH A LABEL,
IF YOU KNEW THAT AMONGST ITS RANKS HAS BANDS OF BLACK/DEATH METAL?
No we are not out to get signed with a label,
we want to do it all by ourselves so we can have full control of our music.
8.IMAGINE THAT YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO DO AN EXPENSIVE
VIDEO – CLIP FOR ONE OF YOUR SONGS. WHICH SONG OF YOURS WOULD YOU CHOOSE
TO VISUALIZE AND WHY? HOW DO YOU IMAGINE THE VIDEO – CLIP?
I would do "The Kingdom", we would imagine
we were playing in the presence of god.
9.IN U.S. THE MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED
BU THE TREND OF NU – METAL AND METALCORE, HOWEVER YOUR MUSIC IS ORIENTED
MORE INTO 80’S STYLE OF METAL. DO YOU THINK THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE
THERE THAT SHOW INTEREST FOR YOUR KIND OF MUSIC? DON’T YOU THINK THAT YOUR
SOUND WILL BE MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL HERE IN EUROPE, BECAUSE THE FANS ARE
MORE INTO CLASSIC METAL?
I think it would do better over there than
here because the people here are more in to drop stuff.
10.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME MARK AND GOOD LUCK
WITH YOUR BAND! HOPE I DIDN’T TIRE YOU WITH MY QUESTIONS. THE LAST LINES
BELONG TO YOU…
We just want the people to know that there
is a message behind our music and hope people will like our music. And
thank you for your time and friendship. MARK and Vital-lusion!
