LATEXXX TEENS
Interviewer: Jezus & Suzej
Answers: Icy X (vocal & bass & programming)
Here a band coming from Italy, their proposal is the most modern industrial rock, of provocative lyrcis against the religious system and the decadent society. Recently their new disk was released under Decadance Records and is entitled
"Death Club Entertainment". Icy X, leader of the band us wide the panorama...
Hello Icy, Your first words for our readers.
First of all I wanna thank everybody support LXT... we are nothing without you... I mean all the guys who come to our gigs or buy our albums.... they are our lifeblood...we do music for them... and the project lives for them!!!
A very special thanks also to you that give us the chance to spread our word :)
Tell me, how did you change of a Black Metal band (Draconian Order) to play industrial rock?
This is a great question... well... i like a lot of different kind of music... i like metal, gothic but i also like hardcore and punk rock as i love '80 pop music... so it's impossible for me to play a so settled and nonexperimental kind of music as black metal.... with industrial rock i can express better my creativity...in LXT songs you can find punk influences or '80 influences mixed with metal guitars... you know what i mean...
I'm also conscious that Draconian Order wasn't born in the right ages...
I think black metal is an artistic movement of '90... we was in delay with DO, we risked to be not up to date...
Futher with LXT everythings started in a very great way and with DO we had some problems with the label...
I think also everybody in the band was a little bit tired to play just symphonic black metal... the best was to split and spend all my time with LXT
Latexxx Teens is only a name? Is there some meaning behind?
The meaning of Latexxx teens is very simple... Latex is something that remaind to the fetish
sex, that is a tount for the bourgeois society. The same bourgeois society that thinks that every kind of sex perversion it's like a sin but it's good to unhook bombs on thousands innocent people only becouse they are Iraqi. xXx is also an allusion to pornography that would be more pedagogical tha all that fucking shit as reality shows we see in our fucking television!!!! And teens cause this is the army of the revolutionary teens dressed with latex who will
shock this “beautyful society”!!!!!!
I was surprised with ""Moloko And Ultraviolence"" and now "Death Club Entertainment" has satisfied all my expectations!
but tell me, Are you happy with the final result?
I'm really satisfied of Death Club Entertainment... It's the best sequel for Moloko...
I think you can feel also by the music that we talk about the same things but in a introspective way!!!
Surely I would like to get better a lot of things but this is a good things
because the day I will be totally satisfy by an album will be the same day when the project will die....
But don't worrie Death Club Entertainment is just the begin for LXT ;)
Decadance Records a youth label but with very good artists, tell me, How did you contact with them? Has the support been what you waited?
Decadance Records it's not a big label as everybody know, but I think this is better for
us because we have a more human relation with the label and this help everybody to find always a friendly way to
collaborate!!!!! Honestly I think there wasn't a better label for us....
I personaly think that it's very important to be considered as a man and not as a number that is what
happened with bigger label!!!! With Decadance we are free to express the real band... no fucking restriction, no fucking request to be what we
aren't... you know what I mean...
"Death Club Entertainment" has a cover art with religious symbolism and references to the war, tell me,
Do you want to show something especially?
The cover concept was thinking in the way to represent the meaning of the lyrics of out songs... We did it in collaboration with Daniel Rolli from
Kill All Artists and I think he did a very great cover!!!! It's sure there is a meaning also in the cover of the album... for understand it you must read the lyrics of the album and decipher the symbols....
The song "Hey God" is a slap to the Christian god, but tell me, Why so much critic against god? do you think that god is the origin of the human decadence?
Our critic is against the political power of Catholic Church, is against the employment of “god” to control the mass... you know what
I mean... I think everybody must live the religouse dimension in a most private way...
I mean it's the time for humanity to be free from religious organizations... that are always hypocritie!!! Worship the God you want but do it by your self... you don't need a church or sacred books or something like this...
Ok.. changing topic.. Which is your relationship with “The Dope Stars Inc.”? are you friends or only co-workers?
We are first of all friends!!! As you know La Nuit it's also in DSI and we know that guys from a lot year... before LXT was born!!!!
The collaboration with Victor it was just a natural thing for us, and he did a very cool job as always...
Do you also like of the dark electro music? How was the participation in the Siva Six's new album?
It's sure there are dark music influences in LXT songs... and yes we like it... but
I think LXT are more a modern rock n roll band than a dark electro band...I think the attitude of the band it's very punk rock... we are not sad people we are crazy mother fucker that like to party and rocking all night....
Was great to do the remix of Siva Six's now it's dark... and I'm very satisfied of how Kami did it... it's fucking evil that song...
I really hope people enjoy it
:)
What do you say about Marilyn Manson? Do you like their Stuff?
Well I really like some old albums of MM... He's an interesting character and he's a great frontman...
I just hope next album will be cooler than the last one.
About your appearance, do you always want to show a dark / aggressive facet? Uhmm I think that Lex Kaos has a look EMO jeje
uhauhauhauahuahuah Lex EMO????? naaaaaaaaaa
Believe me he's a fucking rockers...
Everytime we think about the band's look we try to find a way to express with our appareance the concept of the band... ok we also like to look as we feel to be... it's not a masquerade...
I think it's dark and aggressive because we live in decadent ages... but I don't know what will be in the future!!!!
