Paul who is in both Nefarious Dusk and Torver answered some questions from Sandy
What is the history of Nefarious Dusk?
Nefarious Dusk was started in the winter of 2007 by me and
Aske when we recorded the original version of God is Dead which was never
released, we then tried to make the project into a live band but that didn't
last too long so we ended up putting everything on hold until 2011 when I
decided to bring it back, but didn't really do anything with the project until
around late 2013 when I got Azrael of Ethereal Forest involved with the project
and since then we have been working on an album which will consist of material
dating back to 2007 but all recorded between 2013 - 2014.
What inspires the music of Nefarious Dusk?
Anti - religion as that's what we are mainly about.
Is there a good scene around your home town?
No, as I live in a small town on the north shore of the
estuary of the River Duddon in Cumbria, surrounded by mountains, valleys forests and sea, so as
you can imagine it's a pretty isolated place, so not many bands or even Metal
fans.
But we do hold the highest number of Black Metal projects
between me and three others who are from Millom.
Do you have any more new music in the pipeline?
We have just recorded Hans Siste Vinter by Darkthrone which
will appear on One Cold Night In Norway, a tribute to Darkthrone which should
be released during December.
Also we're currently in the progress of working towards an
album titled In Northern Mist, and
that's all I can say about that really.
Expect it to be released some time next year.
What is the most important element of black metal for you?
For me it has to be the atmosphere of course, I really enjoy
bands that manage to bring a load of atmosphere and creativity to their music.
For example early Emperor with their first album In the Nightside Eclipse that
album contains stacks of atmosphere and other bands like Zyklon B, Judas
Iscariot, Sear Bliss, early Dimmu Borgir and countless other bands that use
synths and keyboards in their music which add to the atmosphere.
What's the history of Torver
Torver originally known as Sitri started around 2012 when me
and Burn's decided to do a side project with some material that we felt wasn't
suited to Helvellyn. We ended up working
on a split release with our friends Funeral Path, which is now finished and
being released on cassette by Mordgrimm records.
What inspires the music of Torver?
The first Torver release was inspired by demonology, anti -
religion and Blackened Punk more in the
vein of NatteForst and maybe a tiny bit of late Darkthrone with the style of
drums we used. But with our new line up we have taken a different direction,
it's still primitive but we have a new vocalist and Azrael has joined us on
synths so it will have a different sound once we have it finished.
Do you have any more new music in the pipeline?
Indeed we do, we are working on a split release with another
UKBM band who we are friends with.
I can't give out to much information about the split, but it
will be released during early December and it's one I'm looking forward to.
