| Often described as pioneers of Black Thrashing mayhem, URN are back with their new album 'Soul Destroyers' and we caught up for an all together too short an interview. | ||
|
Hey, how are things with you and the rest of the band? |
||
| Thing's are fine, we're taking a break with the band and gathering some energy for a battles to come. | ||
|
The bands new album ‘Soul Destroyers’ has been out now for the past couple of months. What has been the initial feed back to the record? |
||
| Nothing special! | ||
| How long did it take to record the album and is the studio an environment you and the rest of the band enjoy? | ||
| The studio was good and engineer was a professional, so no complains. I think we recorded it in four days. | ||
 |
The music has a real old school Black Metal vibe in places but also I hear elements of Thrash on the record, so what influences do you all bring to the band |
|
| Metal! The way it was meant to be. | ||
|
Even the cover art has a real underground feel to it. Who drew the cover and is there any concept behind it, apart from the fact it looks evil as fuck? |
||
| I found the cover from the wall of our old rehearsing room. No one knows who drew it. | ||
|
What was the approach to the writing of the album? Did it differ from your previous releases in any way? |
||
| No...sorry, yes...aarrgghh, mean no. | ||
|
The band has recently signed with Dynamic Arts Records. What factors lead you guys to choosing them as the next home for URN? |
||
| To earn million Euros and then face death and destruction. | ||
|
What were the issues No Sign Of Life had with promoting and backing your previous release ‘Dawn Of The Devastation’, and how frustrating was it to watch the band get no backing? |
||
| We are always frustrated so it just had a normal feeling! | ||
|
Given the lack of previous promotion did you feel the band something to prove with this release? |
||
|
Prove that we are stupid old style metal and nothing more than a cheap copy without having anything special to offer!?! Yes! |
||
|
Do the band have any plans to tour in support of ‘Soul Destroyers’? Is touring something you enjoy and do you feel the live environment really does justice to your material? |
||
| No, I hate play live. | ||
| What is the Finnish scene like at the moment for Black Metal, any up and coming bands we should look out for? | ||
| Armour. | ||
| Any final words to all the URN fans out there? | ||
| Do we have fans? | ||
