My interview with SEPTUAGINT-black metal band from Greece

12-11-2014, 16:01

Above mentioned interview below:

How, when and in what circumstances Septuagint was formed in 2011?

Septuagint were manifested in 2011 as an evolutionary state of the previous entity "Declaration:Holocaust".

Why did You chose such name for band and what does it mean?

It is the first translation of the Hebrew bible in the Greek language. The choice of the name was something more than just a religious word, through Septuagint we create an adversarial doctrine against all religions of spiritual degradation. Our very existence is something more than just a common being destined to fade into infinity.

Who is author of Your interesting logo? Are You fully satisfied with it?

Khaos Diktator Designis the one who worked in its creation, Yes we are fully satisfied with his work.

What is the line-up of the band? Please invite them.
Co.de.x. handles almost everything between songwriting to composing lyrics
Virus is the second guitarist and the one behind the poisonous words.
Iconoclast is the bassist.
and last but not least, Nycriz behind the drumkit.

What are Your inspirations?

Everyone of us comes from different backgrounds with different philosophies that provides diversity from each other. Septuagint are inspired by the philosophies that evolved among the centuries that concern themselves with death and beyond, the personal awakening and of course everything that makes us strive for perfection. We are restless and constantly evolving.

How did You record Your ep "Negative Void Trinity" and in what circumstances it was issued by Forever Plagued Records from USA in 2014?

It was recorded in 2013 (although it had been already recorded one time in 2011) at Behind the Sun Studio by Co.de.x. and Virus (Iconoclast and Nycriz joined right after the recordings). The release through FPR was a fine collaboration with a label that is true to its purpose , the kind that fully supports its roster.

How do You mark Your cooperation with this label? Is it also distributed outside of USA and Greece also with Your t-shirts?

FPR is not a fashion label, that alone is a pro for us to work with them. Yes the EP is distributed globally, the t-shirts were the bands choice alone. In time we hope that there will be some state side t-shirts for those that cant order from us directly since the postage is too high.

Tell us about Your ep, texts there and layout.

This particular release was a rather unpleasant ride for us since we tried to release it since 2010 but the circumstances were all but easy to do so. The lyrical theme is about man and the relation he has created with God, Satan and Man himself, it is a progression on those matters until he is released from the earthly chains and creates his own path of divinity.
The layout was created by Incense Art who had 100% freedom to work as he wished, being straight to the point he delivered the best results we could have.

Please tell us also about Your previous band Declaration:Holocaust existing in years 2006-2011.

There arent much to say about that period, we released a promo in 2010 with 2 earlier versions of the first 2 tracks of the EP and participated in an underground compilation.

What is black metal for You and other members of Septuagint? What is the essence of black metal and meaning of it for You?

Black metal is all about being extreme, a satanic manifesto against any religion, no politics here. Black metal is the expression of inner selves, an opposition against any kind of conformity, it is an expressive extremity if you may.

The essense of black metal lies in the purity of its expression, the lyrical texts and the unique manifestation of the music, black metal is about pushing boundaries and leaping forward. And certainly not about trends, band diplomnacies and shitty repetition of what others have done in the past.

How do You show it outside? What is Your life's philosophy?

We wish to become the greatest versions of ourselves, that alone cannnot allow us to have a weak (or not at all) philosophy, we live everyday to praise that which makes us differ and try to create our own paths and not following what others have done, of course we honour everyone that has made it possible for us to be where we are and that is done by surpassing ourselves and overlapping the limits.

What do You think about black metal scenes in Greece, Poland and in other countries?

The word "scene" especially in Greece is something we wish to stay away from,it has become an infection to our precious art, we wish to stay away from those that benefit from our work, the ones that profit from our art, every poser that says support this and support that, do us a favor and kill yourself.

Black metal has started to rise again, here in Greece and globally of course. But unfortunately as a trend in many occasions. That being said doesnt mean that quality black metal doesnt exist, on the contrary, black metal is a force growing rapidly and a great number of amazing artists has arisen in the years that passed. But black metal was always quality over quantity so right now unfortunately with every one great band ten shitstorms follow, but time is the one that will let us know which ones are here to stay and which are here to "play"...


How do You mark underground Greek labels?

We had the honor to work with Razorbleed productions on our tape release of the EP, the outcome was amazing and the communication was perfect. But besides Razorbleed there are some other labels that set an example of how a label should act.

Did You promote Your ep playing concerts? If yes, tell us where and when they happened and what were reactions for them?

For now we havent made any appearances but that is going to change since we are discussing a small amount of live shows in Greece and maybe some abroad.

What are Your actual plans for concerts? When, where and with what bands do You want to play them? Additionaly why do You want to play them with such bands?

For 2014 we wish to make a small number of appearances since our drummer has to serve in the army at some point. We wish to play wherever we are welcome to do so and with acts that share the same affection for black metal as us. Right now we have a show planned in Thessaloniki with Godless (GRE) and Kult Of Taurus on the 5th of october.

When are You going to issue Your new material?

We are working right now on 2 split releases that are going to be released within 2015 with some amazing bands.

Last words are Yours:

We thank you for the interview.
