Entrevista : We Made God

We Made God
Islândia
Post-Metal




Pereira - Please introduce yourself and your band .

We Made God : We are: Arnor: Guitar, Birkir: Drums, Magnus: Voice/Guitar, Steingrimur: Bass

P - How was the reception of your debut EP, "As We Sleep" ?

WMG - The reception was amazing, it exceeded our expectations

P - You guys toured/are touring the Uk, how is it going? Is it your first tour outside of Iceland?

WMG - This is actually our "first" tour... we have done a lot of concerts all around Iceland but not a big tour.. and yes this is our first tour outside of Iceland. It was really great.. a breath of fresh air to get to play there.

P -Iceland is a country well known for its music and artistic scene in general. What do you think of it ; is Iceland a good place for a Metal/post-rock such as yourselves to be?

WMG - It is a common mistake to think our scene is really unique.. it is really quite like the scene in other countries. it is just smaller.. it is maybe quite unique for our size as a population. The thing is the rest of the world only get to see the best of it.

P -What is the concept, the idea behind "As We Sleep" ?

WMG - There is no general concept behind the album. The songs on that album are all from our early days as a band, the only thing linking them together is possibly the fact that it's us getting to know one another through music. There are songs on that album that reek of teenage rebellion while others show a more darker take on subjects like love.

P -What are your plans for the rest of 2009?

WMG - We plan to record our second album this summer... and hopefully release it this year. we will play a lot of concerts in Iceland but if everything goes well.. then we will go abroad again and play.

P -When can we expect a new album?

WMG - We plan to release the next album late 2009 .. maybe early 2010

P - Any european tours planned? When can we expect you here in Portugal ?

WMG - If we get some contacts over there in Portugal then maybe we can do something about it ;) we'll definately try to come over if there is interest..

P - Iceland was one of the most affected countries by the economical crisis. How is the crisis affecting the music business in Iceland?

WMG - It is hard.. but actually this is making our music scene moving in the sense of new bands forming because people have nothing else to do because of unemployment.. you see people going to concerts more (and most of the concerts are free over here btw)

P - What are your influences,when writing a song?

WMG -We play what we like... that's how we roll.
Basically it's starts with the atmosphere. When we write songs they are constantly changing. we sort of "jam" on them until the songs get to a place we like.

P - What have you been listening lately and which bands do you recommend to us?

WMG - This is a hard question for a band that has members with such different musical tastes. But of the top of our heads we would have to say. Devil Sold His Soul, Funeral Diner, Envy (Japan), Mr 1986, Radiohead...that last one everyone should know :D
