From left to right: Alex, Stony & Isaac Many will know that there are more and more bands coming from Latin America that play heavy metal. One of these bands is Kennereth, a young and ambitious trio that plays progressive/power metal. To be honest, this is my first interview with a band from Latin America so I'm a little proud to present you this. So, here's an introduction to Kennereth: You released your first demo-CD Eyes Of Fire. How is it to have your own music captured on a disc? The demo-CD Eyes Of Fire was elaborated with much effort and a lot
of dedication from us. We worked hard for this release and therefore waited for this great
opportunity. With this courage we did enter into the studio. We have been receiving some
criticisms and a good acceptance from the public, and this is really beyond our
expectations, thanks to God. However, we could not have a musical production as we would
like, due to some factors, financially too. For this reason, we are expecting that our
next release, the full album that are we are already working on for some time, has a good
production, that it shows the potential and the tendencies of our instruments as well as a
vocal delivery that's more aggressive, heavier guitars, the bass well defined and the
drums well distinct. And, at last, a production of first quality. We are working on a So, you're not fully satisfied with the EP. When do
you hope to release a full-length? I'm not familiar with the situation in Brazil, the provisions for bands like studios. You already said you're looking for a good studio. How is it to record a CD in Brazil? There are good studios in Brazil, particularly here in Brasília, the capital city of our country. The most important thing is a good production, that transmits with fidelity the heavy sound, with a good quality, that meets our expectations. Obviously it would be good if we get the record out of Brazil, where there is a great demand for metal. And we don't want to discard this possibility. What surprises me about Eyes Of Fire is that all lyrics are in English. Your native-tongue is Portuguese. Why did you choose to do only English or is there a Portuguese version too? We love our motherland, as we love our language too. The option for English comes from the fact that we love to reach the world market. We don't discard the possibility to have music in Portuguese. How is the feedback of the Brazilian public to the English lyrics? The public's acceptance has been very good. This surpasses even our expectations. There are some that criticize, but we have very concrete objectives, and the reality of the metal is in the exterior. There are examples for instant, like Sepultura, that reached world recognition. Like I said I'm not familiar with the scene over in
Brazil. I know there are lots of bands like in the São Paulo area and elsewhere too. Are
you in touch with other bands and how about opportunities to play live? Try to describe
the scene and the possibilities for a metal-band. |
