Before we begin can you say us something about PUTERAEON?
PUTERAEON
started out 2008 by vocalist/guitarist Jonas Lindblood in Alingsås , Sweden .
He recorded three demos on his own and got hooked up by the German record label
Cyclone Empire. He then made the decision that PUTERAEON should be a
"real" band and started to recruit members. 2010 the line-was
complete with Daniel Vandija on bass, Anders GS Malmström on drums and last man
in was me on guitar and backup vocals. The first album, "The Esoteric
Order" was recorded during 2010 and released 2011 and the second album
"Cult Cthulhu" 2012. Our ambition is to create solid death metal with
focus on writing good songs and skip all bullshit technical guitar masturbation
and so on. Like we did back in the early 90's.
So how has the journey been so far?
It's been
great. People seem to like what we do and about every show since the first one
have been really great with pretty much people coming to the shows. We're
really happy that so many share our taste in music.
PUTERAEON what does the name mean?
ROTTEN
AEON
So can we say that PUTERAEON as an
old school death metal band?
Yes, I
guess. We're not aiming to sound old school, we just create the type of death
metal we like the most and it's the late 80's and early 90's kind of death
metal we like and we listen to.
So can you tell us something about
the SWEDISH METAL scene although guys from Gehennah, Turbocharged and Vomitory
has said us stuffs can you guys say us about your countries scene in your perspective?
The Swedish
metal scene is turning pretty old. It has been going on for 30 something years
now and metal is pretty much accepted all over Sweden . There are of course many
types of metal being written and some are doing it for the money and fame and
others are doing it all wrong and some are doing it the way metal was done from
the beginning and with the same reasons: Fuck commercial crap and stay true to
good songwriting.
Rune can you say us apart from
PUTERAEON what other bands are or were involved?
A: We've all
been playing in different bands before this. Jonas has been in TAETRE,
DELETION, THORIUM. Rune has been in EXEMPT, AGGRO, RECLUSION among others.
Daniel played with 13ITCH, ABSINTH & Anders played with ABSINTH, NOMINON,
PROPHANITY, IMMEMOREAL among others.
I also played in One Man Army And
The Undead Quartet and KILLAMAN
So guys we are sure that you guys
have checked our NEPALESE DEATH METAL ACT how did you find them?
Fuck me;
I didn't follow that page haha. We've seen through you guys. You seem to be very
ambitious and on the correct side of the death metal business. Keep up the
good work!
Thanks guys By the way me would like
to know about the split album PUTERAEON / REVEL IN FLESH - Imperial Anthems
Vol.13 - Split 7" EP..
We are
about to release the split through Cyclone Empire. We are sharing vinyl with
our fellow friends in death metal, our German brothers Revel In Flesh. We did a
tour with them last summer and we had a blast. We recorded two new songs live
at rehearsals with RZA Mobile Recordings and this is the result. Both songs
"Rotten Aeon" and "To Steal The Flesh" will also be
featured on our upcoming album but re-recorded.
Ok guys say us which band influence
PUTERAEON?
There's
not just one band. We're heavily influenced by the late 80's and early 90's
scene with bands suchlike Napalm Death, Carcass, Dismember, Bolt Thrower,
Morbid Angel, Death, Obituary, Sodom, Entombed, S.O.D, Pestilence and many
more. All the bands that made a great impact on the whole metal scene.
"The Esoteric Order" in
2011 and "Cult Cthulhu" in 2012 i guess it was under Cyclone Empire
how was the respond for the 2 albums?
Yes, CE
released both albums. We've gotten really good reviews for both albums and
we're obviously really thankful for them. The thirst for "old school"
death metal seems endless these days.
2 songs are my favorites of
PUTERAEON THE COMA and INTO THE DEEP . At least once a day i listen these
tracks
Oh, thank
you! They're both good songs from "The Esoteric Order", I agree. We
never played Into The Deep live actually but maybe we should... Who knows! Coma
is always on our setlist, we love that song and it is the most played Puteraeon
song on Youtube. Coma was our first official video and it's a really special
song to us.
Yeah for sure by the way guys any recent
tours or gig updates?
We will
do some shorter tours and single shows during 2014. Both in Sweden and around Europe but nothing outside Europe confirmed yet.
If we are not wrong then you guys
will be hitting the road with TURBOCHARGED?
We don't
have a tour scheduled with Turbocharged but they will join us and play at our release
party this spring. It will be a blast!
So apart from the EP split any
project in pipeline?
We will
be featured on a compilation album released by Criticalmass.se. Our contribution
is an unreleased live recording of the song "The Plague". Besides
that we've just finished the mixing & mastering of our upcoming full-length
album entitled "The Crawling Chaos". To be released in the end of
April by Cyclone Empire.
Can you say something about the
upcoming album?
We
recorded this album ourselves actually. It consists of 11 songs in typical
Puteraeon style but I think we really nailed the songwriting on this album. A
lot of variety throughout the songs and cool arrangements. The album was mixed
and mastered by King Diamond guitarist Andy La Rocque, and everything is
packaged in a booklet with awesome paintings made by the same guy who did our
previous artworks, Christoffer Fredriksson. H.P. Lovecraft is back again, of
course!
Well seems interesting will be
waiting for the album. By the way any message to the upcoming bands?
Be true to
your self and never try to understand the music business. Nobody understand the
business and those who think they do and creates music with focus on selling many
albums will kill the business. Focus on your own creations and create music
that make you smile. Don't give a fuck if people tell you that you music is
shit, if you like your own music it's the right music for you to play. That
will benefit you in a longer term.
True words guys we will like to know
that does the incident in life affects the music that you guys create?
Hmm, not
much in Puteraeon. We just focus on writing disgusting death metal that makes
us smile.
Haha for the first time talking with
many bands you guys only said that DEATH METAL makes you guys smile. Guys we
would like to know apart from Puteraeon which band do you think will rise in
long run.
I really
don't know but music created by people being true to their music will prevail
all bullshit music in the end.
Rune we will like to ask you how did
your journey in Death Metal begin?
I heard
Kiss on the radio and it was the song "Warmachine". From that moment
I knew that heavy metal is the shit. Further on I listened to Mötley Crüe,
Judas Priest, Accept and so on. 1986 I heard Metallica for the first time and
to me that was an equal great moment as when I heard Kiss on. The radio.
Metallica showed me the way to bayarea thrash and I quickly discovered bands
like Slayer, Exodus and S.O.D. When Sepultura released "Beneath the
remains" it became the first bridge between thrash and death for me and
then I discovered Pestilence and Morbid Angel. I guess that's how my death
metal journey was settled.
In
Gothenburg we had the band Grotesque and they were awesome. I guess they helped
me to find the path to death metal too.
Must check em out as well. Ok guys
we are almost at the end. Can you guys say us 10 albums one must have?
This is
impossible but I'll recommend you to listen to these albums, in no specific
order:
Morbid Angel "Altars of
madness" –
Pestilence "Consuming
Impulse" –
Death "Spiritual Healing" –
Cannibal Corpse "Eaten Back To
Life" –
Sepultura "Beneath the
Remains" –
Entombed "Left hand path" –
At The Gates "With Fear I Kiss
The Burning Darkness" –
Napalm Death "Harmony
Corruption" –
Metallica "Ride the
Lighting" –
Slayer "Reign In Blood"
Ok we will like to know your dream
line-up with whom you guys want to share stage with?
Autopsy , S.O.D and Entombed. Can you arrange that please!! Entombed would be cool to tour with
too. All four of us! Oh no, I want to tour with Terrorizer too.
Haha I wish I could brother any
message to Nepalese bands?
Yes: Keep
it up and feed the Nepalese metal scene and it will grow stronger and stronger
for every effort you make. I really hope we can come visit you guys one day and
tear some serious shit down in the name of metal. So to all you metal sisters
and metal brothers: CHEERS!
