1. Can you tell us
a little bit about the band for those that have never heard of you before?
A: We are a 5
member Progressive metal band from Monterrey, Mexico. That has been working on
this project since 2008. Recently we released our debut album independently.
THE ADVENT EQUATION
is composed by:
Daniel Cordoba:
Guitar and growling vocals.
Luis Gómez: Guitar
Roberto Charles: Drums
Esaú García:
Keyboards.
2. How would you
describe your musical sound?
A: it’s a mixture
of heavy guitar influences, along with atmospheric leads and rhythm complexity,
which can go from warm and calm melodic passages, to aggressive and dynamic
grooves.
3. What are some of
the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
A: it goes around
an existential theme throughout the songs, exploring the mind’s journey through
loss, pain and death.
4. What is the
meaning and inspiration behind the bands name?
A: We can describe
its meaning by looking at the words individually, with ADVENT we have something
big, a change that will occur, that being one side of it, and on the other one
we have the word EQUATION which speaks of balance, equality that each member
brings .
5. What are some of
the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your
stage performance?
A: We’ve had some
memorable performances throughout the years, joining stage with bands such as
Haggard, and Opeth, which have been rewarding, each on their own. And
definitely a remarkable moment on our history was when we presented this album
with a full venue on our hometown.
As for our
performance, it has always been as energetic as it is atmospheric, trying to
share the way we feel the music.
6. Do you have any
touring plans for the future?
A: we look forward
to promote our music in 2013, across our country and wherever our music can be
heard.
7. Currently you
are unsigned, are you looking for a label and if so what kind of label do you
feel that would be a perfect fit for your music?
A: We decided to go
ahead and release the album independently, to get our music out there, and of
course we would be open to professionally work with a label, with intention to
make an important contribution to the modern metal scene.
8. On a worldwide
level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of metal?
A: It has been
received in a very positive light, and we would like to take this moment to
thank anyone who has supported us by looking us up on social media, and given
the album a listen.
9. What direction
do you see your music heading into on future releases?
A: Thanks to the
genre’s versatility, our future releases will stay within progressive metal. We
strongly believe in not limiting yourself. This has been our main drive to make
things as professional as possible, to take every detail into consideration,
and ensure our productions have the best of each of us.
10. What are some
band or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you
listening to nowadays?
A: As each member
comes from a different background musically speaking, we have a multitude of
influences, just to mention a few, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Cynic, Camel, Pink
Floyd and melodic metal in general.
11. Outside of
music what are some of your interests?
A: Photography,
art, whiskey, sports, videogames, and what living in an industrial city
entails.
