The Band: Pokolgép
Country: Hungary
Answers by:
Pokolgép is a band
with a long history in Hungarian Metal, we can say that you are the biggest
Band in Hungary? Some kind of insititution over there?
We were one of the first out of the bands that play a genre
like us to release an album. Therefore people started listening to us rather
than them.
After so many years,
albums and changes in the line-up, Pokolgép is still very alive, what is the
trick for that?
It's the audience
that keeps the band alive, we just do our jobs.
Not only Pokolgép is
alive, because your new album “Metalbomb” honors your name, it’s what the
Pokolgép fans expect to get from you...
Pokolgép has always
been a heavy metal band, the title song is also about this feeling.
Between this
“Metalbomb” and your previous release there are almost ten years, why?
The reason of the
long hiatus was the changes in the line-up over the years. It's hard to work on
an album in those circumstances. By now the line-up has become a creative
community that is good to work with.
How long have you
been composing “Metalbomb”?
We have been working
on the songs continuously for a few years.
What are we going to
find in “Metalbomb”?
Metal!
True as a simple
word. What are the lyrics about?
About music,
feelings, emotions we meet in the world. Besides that there is an Endre Ady
poem set to music. Ady was a famous Hungarian poet. By the way it's like a
tradition for us to have a Hungarian poet's poem set to music on each album.
You still keep
faithful to your mother language, may be if you sing in English your popularity
outside your country could be bigger, why don’t give it a try?
We are faithful
because we are Hungarians. One of the songs is about this issue (Ne köss
belém). The English translation of the lyrics is in the booklet.
We are planning on
recording the songs again in English, but translating isn't easy if you want to
keep the songwriter's notions.
What do you think
have been the best moments of the band?
We think all of our
concerts are big moments, because the audience comes and listens to us.
Your favorite album
of Pokolgép?
Right now it's Metalbomb.
Have you ever toured
outside Hungary?
We have already played in Germany, Slovakia, Romania,
Serbia, Ukraine and Sweden.
Lucky guys...What are
your main influences?
Bach.
What are your plans
for the future?
Poems set to music on a new album
and we have already started writing songs for the next album.
