Interview: Jesus C. (saqrangel)
Answers: Cadaveria (frontwoman)


Hello, firstly I would like to know about your departure and of Flegias of Opera IX, were you a little limited in that band, did they feel the necessity to expand toward new horizons?
Hi all! Well, I'm a bit tired of answering this question, you know... Just let me say there were some problems (personal and artistic) in the band, me and Flegis felt the need to create a free and open minded space where to discharge our metal instincts.

Did they maybe change their attitudes toward you?  

I don't mind.

Which was the reason for that put the name from Cadaveria to the band, maybe because now if the band is 100% yours?
I can say to be the soul of the band, but at the same time it is not a solo project. I am giving all my energies to this band, it is the mirror of my personality... completed by the male perversion of the other guys.
..

When I listened the disc that took out Opera IX after your exit;  I found the very slack vowels, with you it was different; what do you say of it?
I didn't listen to the entire album, just two songs... It is not the same, it could not be the same. I few words: I don't like it.

Your look also changed with Cadaveria, you dress more androgens now and modern; why did you opt for the  integrate use of the leather?
'Cause I like it. But it is not my definitive and final look, I like to change, to play with my image, I like shocking effects and transformism. It is part of my personality.

Did enough time already pass from the release of The Shadows' Madame, reason why I would like to know the results obtained until the moment?   
Well, all the reactions have been very positive, over our expectations. We received good feedbacks both from fans and magazines. Surely the ghost of my previous band continuing to flutter near us didn't helped us so much but finally we can say we are winner. We are sure we can do even better next time, so I can say The Shadows' Madame was a good point to start.

Do you think that of The Shadows' Madame is the best thing that you have made until the moment?    
Yes, but just 'cause it is the only album we released. Our growing profesionality is well shown by the video we realized few months ago and the new compositions we are working on in this period show we have found our real way. New songs are more eclectic, progressive and personal and I'm sure we will be a surprise for all fans when the second album will see the light.

Their you had the opportunity to change something to the album, what would it be?
Some vocal parts, some guitar riffs, but in general it is a good work.

Do you feel well inside Scarlet Records, will you record another album with them?
 I think every label coul always do better in promotion, anyway Scarlet maintained its promises... It trust our potentialities and this is very important. It is realy to invest on CADAVERIA and now it is more experienced then two years ag
o. Yes the new album will be on Scarlet again.

Which do you believe the reason of your attraction for the darkness, the sick, the mystic, the occult and forbidden?  
I think it is an innate passion. It is something I feel attracted, something capturing and entangling me. It is so
mething calling me from inside... and that makes my life more exciting, my interests (and my mind) more open...

Which is the concept that there is behind The Shadows' Madame, imaginarily you believe that it represents the perfection, the spiritual beauty and the desired wisdom?
Yes, the perfection, not only te spiritual beauty but also the bodily passion, the reservation and the ostentation, the kindliness and the strength. It is the the union of the opposite, the mystery.

I know that you love the dogs; but didn't you find a male partner maybe still to pass the rest of your life?  
I had founded. I have been with my boyfriend for 10 years... Actually I'm tasting te lust of being alone, of knowing the value of individuality. I'm not so old to be afraid of having to spend the rest of my life alone. Actually I'm enjoying life.

I suppose that your fans writes you a lot and  they send you many things; but would I like to know which the strangest thing or comic that sent you was or did they say?   
I would betray my fans. The letters/email they write me are like confessions to a priest!

Well, what are you listening lately, and tell me, for you which the best releases in the 2002 were?
I'm especially listening to Tool and System of a Down. I liked Holy Wood and Lateralus, if they are of 2002...

For those that didn't still listen Cadaveria, describe us musical and lyrically your work.  
Musically: a mix of death and classical heavy metal, touched by some doom/melancholy parts, heartbroken by a sick voice. Lyrically: death, life, darkness, light, mystery, restlessness, joy, rage.

Thank you for time towards me, tell us your future plans and your last words for all your fans in South America...
Well, let me say thank to all fans from South America, for their sincere support and trust. I invite you all to listen to The Shadows' Madame, waiting for CADAVERIA second album, that will be out this Autumn. Be yourself! Be metal!
