We named “Domedon Doxomedon” as one of the albums of the year already,
time will tell if it grows even bigger, something I wouldn’t be surprised of.
Because, as Mors Dalos Ra says, this is an album that you will not diggest in a
few listenings, seven years of work reveal themselves as an incredible sonic Metal
monster. Next month, Necros Christos’ best creation and third full-length will
be unleashed, here there are some more detail about it.
Hello Mors
Dalos Ra, it has been a long way since your last full-length Doom of the Occult
in 2011, but your new album Domedon Doxomedon is at last here
Yeah, so
here we are and we`re looking forward to the things to come. “Domedon
Doxomedon” shall be released on the 18th of May and will surely cut a swath of
destruction thorugh the Heavy Metal scene of today. It shall polarize for sure.
Necros Christos has demonstrated their
creativity since the very beginning, I think this Domedon Doxomedon is another
step in that direction
Indeed it
is. It is our most musical album up to date, as well as the most angry record
we ever released. We`re absolutely satisfied with the result and how everything
did turn out.
Domedon Doxomedon is everything except usual.
To make it simple I will turn to the Mathematics: 27 songs, over 110 minutes
long, 3 CDs
This album
is a statement against the modern zeitgeist of music. If you are into easy
listening kinds of music, if you love fake productions, or if you want short
songs you will surely hate “Domedon Doxomedon”. It is a journey in its own and
will drag your senses into hell and beyond.
Taking in account all that, how would you
define Necros Christos’ sound nowadays?
I think we
never sounded so much Metal as on “Domedon Doxomedon”. We achieved to keep the
dark flame burning, we still breathe the darkness from the old recordings but
transformed it into a new blend of really heavy and epic Death Metal.
How long have you worked in this album? It has
been the hardest record to finsih up in your career?
Yes,
definitely. It took us seven years until we finally completed the work and it
feels simply amazing to get this monster out in about a month from now on.
Wow! Well all that invested time is now paying
off. Did you have the idea to do a so big project as this from the very
beginning or the monster was growing little by little along time?
It all
developed. It was clear that it should become our most ambitious work and it
should be worth of being the final testament. But it took years until songs as
Seven Altars Burn In Sin or The Heart Of King Solomon In Sorcery finally took
shape, also the concept grew into that massive three-altar-piece which it
became in the end.
We are gonna find many musical interludes named
temples and gates, and in the middle of it all the actual nine Metal songs that
will make us shake with emotion
Thanks for
your words. We really did our best and I honestly think “Domedon Doxomedon”
holds the strongest tunes we ever wrote.
How much important are those musical interludes
in the creation of the album? How did you put all the pieces together, it seems
kind of crazy?
There was a
time during the recording process where I simply lost overview, it indeed was
totally insane. Each single temple and gate is definitely an important pillar
within the grand hall of “Domedon Doxomedon” and all songs and temples and gates
combined build the church
of Necros Christos
Epic yet utmost angry, brutal, dark, doom,
rage, trascendental… I could continue with the list… The listening of Domedon
Doxomedon will not leave anybody indifferent except if you are in the pop-mode
hahaha
Well, at
least I hope so. But as I said, it is our most musical album up to date and
people will need months to get through. In my humble opinion, this is a damn
positive matter.
I do agree with that. Is there any song in the
album that you consider as a cornerstone in your new creation?
Honestly, I
think that “Domedon Doxomedon” holds absolutely no filler and every song we did
for the album is an epic cornerstone in itself.
We can consider Domedon Doxomedon as a concept
album? Is there a common story behind all the tracks?
Yes and no.
The songs hold the same theme according to their biblical dimesions, dread
stories and the end to come, but there`s no story line from the beginning until
the end. The first words being shouted on the record are “the end has come” and
the last echoes as “it is finished”, so you see what we`re talking about here.
The cover artwork is another wise choice, it
just fits perfect with the musical content
And it is
for real, no fucking photoshop or whatever. We searched for a stonemason,
bought an old and used gravestone, took the backside of it and let the album
title engraved as DOM DOXOM forming a cross. We hauled this 180 kilo monster to
an old graveyard, arranged the scenery and took the picture. I`m damn proud to
say that everything NC connects with the dead is for real.
Now that was quite a story, amazing. Domedon
Doxomedon is so big that I think Necros Christos name can appear already in
Metal history as one of those bands to influence many who will come after
Wow, thanks,
that is a huge compliment. I cannot say much about this as people should decide
if we will have indeed a place in Metal history or not.
Do you have plans to present these songs live
soon? Any chance to see a full performance of the whole album?
We will
play the whole album on the 9th of June here in Berlin
Something not to miss,. Hopefully you will
export it to Spain
Playing
good and intense live shows and promote the album in the best way possible.
Thank you very much for your answers man and
congratulations for your astonishing album!
Thank you
very much for the interview and greetings to all of your readers and Metal
maniacs out there!
