Before
we begin Leighton we would like to know how things are going back there in South Africa
Hey, Things are going well over
here, in general.
Well
starting our talk regarding the band tell us something about Formless Devotion?
Formless Devotion started as a
side project of myself and Orlok(Throne Below) in August 2013. The project
focuses on the spiritual pursuit of apotheosis through the Draconian current.
Formless
Devotion is a black metal band recently i tuned your track Spark of Separation
from your upcoming EP loved the track. Can you tell us something about the
upcoming EP to be released on Cyclopean Eye Productions.
Yes the EP will be released in
the coming months. I am currently working on the album art and booklet. We are much
honored o be under the banner of Cyclopean Eye Productions.
Can
you say us in much detail about the E.P?
It consists of 4 tracks including
an intro and outro. The EP deals with the progression of the subconscious mind
through the attainment of death.
Death of the lesser self and the
conditioned perception of this world, universe.
As far
as i know you guys have released 3 more tracks. Apart from Spark of Seperation
you guys have launched Aeonik Devotion, Illuminate My Temple
Yes, that is correct. All of the
tracks are available for streaming.
Coming
beyond Formless Devotion tell us about the South African scene?
The South African scene is not
too good to be honest. It is completely focused on metalcore, deathcore,
djent... Things I really don't care for. There are a few bands producing decent
work. Bands like Overthrust from Botswana
Cool
man Behemoth toured here last November headlining Silence Festival. So Leighton
coming to your journey, Tell us how your journey began?
I started listening to rock at
the age of 13. I started discovering extreme metal bands 2 years later and it
has progressed ever since. My musical journey started in 2008 when I formed my
solo project, Forestmist. I've been composing ever since. It was through
Myspace that I first got acquainted with Brent(Orlok). We started our solo
projects in the same year and we've been in contact ever since. Being from
opposite ends of the country, we met for the first time last year and initially
followed through with Formless Devotion. I have been composing a debut
full-length for Forestmist since 2012. The composition/mixing and mastering
process has come to and end a few months ago. Now we will be focusing on a
concept for a Formless Devotion full-length and working towards finishing up
some other projects that I'm currently busy with.
So it
means Formless Devotion haven't played live until now.
We are not a live band, we are a
duo.
So we
are almost at the end now any message to the bands and metalheads who are keen
to hear and know about you guys?
You can message and follow our
updates on Facebook and Reverbnation. The support is much appreciated.
Lastly
a space for you to ask if we SNRMB team has forgotten to ask you can ask us
here?
I'll just add that I'm doing
guitars, lyrics and vocals. Orlok does guitars, bass and programming
