Genre :- Death Core
Check them out :-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzZSqSHdwU0&feature=share
How did the band start?
The band started out with a group of friends who loved playing music together.it was actually created in order to enter the NEPFEST competition.
Altruistic means being unselfish. well every band had a name that meant something brutal or you know referred to some horrific stuffs....but being a metal band we just didn’t want ourselves to limit our ideas to that..so decided to give it a positive meaning..
So you guys are a death core band can you describe the genres DEATHCORE?
Basically death core is a genre that got elements of both death metal and metal core I think we are experimenting with the death core genre and trying to find our own sound in it
Altruistic was formed on early 2011 how was your journey from there to here until present moment?
It’s been a rollercoaster ride.....lots of ups and downs, we had to go through a lot of member changes, well that sucked a lot lack of gigs but yeah, it’s a struggle, other than that everything has been going good
In present context we are seeing drought of gigs.. So can you say us regarding your new lineup?
Yeah!!! really less gigs going on..that’s tough for us. lineup is pretty much the same...we just got ourselves a new guitar player. we have had a lot of guitar player changes...ha-ha
Ha-ha, Well that’s the main problem fluctuation on members apart from less gigs.. So can you say a little bit about your original End of The War?
End Of The War..hmmm where do I begin... it’s a little complicated to explain..but that was the first ever song created after the first lineup change, the song is about an ancient war and it describes the suffering of people during the war currently we are working on a presequel and a sequel to this song actually it is a song from our storyline series called the WARRIOR WITHIN
and end of war is the 2nd installment to the series
the first part is called I Declare War
while the last part is THE AFTERMATH
You mean its second version?
Yea end of war is the second part in the series that we named warrior within
1st part being I declare war
and the 3rd being the aftermath
its a story line
warrior within pt1-I Declare War
warrior within pt2-End of the war
warrior within pt3-The aftermath
Cool . I want to ask you one question which we generally ask each and every bands. Apart from you guys, which band will come up as a metal deitly?
Well I personally like ANTYESTI ,other than that I think this new band Asphyxiate is great too and yea dying out flames
Ha-ha.. both bands are good now I want to ask you guys How would you define the ups and down an artist has to face especially trying to bring out a genres like metal which our society considers a pain to the ears?
The first problem starts out at home you know playing loud music all the time growing long hair ha-ha . Parents they get up your ass!! Anyways facing all these ups and downs, that’s what gives us experience and being an artist its all about experience and creativity.
Ha-ha yes for sure it’s hard for elders to understand it to some extent..So if I am not wrong a few days back you played The tribute gig to dime as well as promotional gig to M.A.B how was the gig?
The gig went good I must say, went a lot better than expected as we had a recent guitar layer change for that gig so u know the difficulties a band has to face after a member change took lots of hard work ,ha-ha
Ha-ha for sure it takes time to sink as well. Since you guys are upcoming bands we would like to know whether you guys are well equipped with gags?
Gadgets are like stuffs that u can never get enough of, ha-ha.
I use boss me 25 and an AZALEA guitar. While my bassist uses an Ibanez GSR180 sound gear. the only thing that we lag are cymbals. Man the more u have it the better ha-ha most probably we will be adding and experimenting with more instruments in the future
Ha-ha the more you have the more you need...
Yea that’s human nature...
Well best wishes for that..
Thanks that means a lot
We usually find that the artist and the crowd usually get intoxicated while they perform . They take it as a necessity to perform and to look more aggressive do you think it is a mere excuse or a reality?
Actually it depends on people, cause you are what u think you are.... Well our band performs when we are completely sober . I (Yashashwa) tried playing when intoxicated once..... I messed up badly ha-ha
I guess many bands should read what you guys just said haha..
Naah that’s okay, everyone’s point of view differs...
What do you want to say to the upcoming metal bands in Nepal along with this question I wanna ask what do you want to say to the organizers who may be reading this chat?
For the upcoming metal bands i think all i wanna say is be brave and proud to try something new cause music is what u feel organizers? ummm we need lots of gigs please organize some..that’s the only way how bands will be able to show their talents..also just don’t let the well known bands play give opportunities to the new upcoming bands too..
Well regarding upcoming bands we usually see they are not being paid and are urged to play for free in name of friendship and giving chance what do you wanna say regarding that..As we know artist spend a way lot on practice and on gadgets maintenances. what do you want to say regarding it?
Well that’s a tough one......it would be nice to get paid. I mean we really do have to spend a lot for practicing and maintenance. But on the other hand if a band is paid for they should be worth paying for also if this turns into a trend bands might stop playing cause of financial reasons which may hamper the music scene.
In gigs we usually see conflicts between bands and sound crews and sometimes even we hear sound crews being abused during gigs what do you say regarding such mishaps?
Its not always the bands fault in this stuff, i mean the work of the sound crew is to help achieve the band the sound that the band requires while performing but in gigs we see that the sound crew doesn’t respond to the band so the conflict arises most of the time such abuse aint good but still they should at least listen to the bands
But it’s up to the bands like" KNOWING YOUR GADGETS" as what there gads sends that is adjusted and send to the output stacks.
Yea it is..but even after the sound that we send out the sound crew dont adjust the output sound as desired..such as drum pedal sounds or the snare sounds.
A few days back in talk with some sound companies they said it’s because lack of communication among band and sound crews as well as lack of Sound engineers do you agree on that ??
Yea i do...that’s what happens most of the time. We need people on the sound crew who are really good at and have lot of knowledge about metal music.
So any new project on the pipeline?
No not really...currently giving full focus on the new guitarist so that we can be like what we were before
Any message to the fans?
Fans? ha-ha...that’s a pretty big word but yea to those who really do support us..thank you and keep supporting we won’t let u down /m\
Any other things you want to say which we didn’t ask?
Saaab nei sodhisakyo yar..aru ta k hunu lol
Anywas thanx for your time..
