2.How many achievement have you gotten so far?

E. Angot  -  The project was stopped for two years, this has made things took longer still. It was a great time lost, but Essential

to a certain softening of ideals. In 2012 I got a label in a short time, it has already been a great help to launch the new material

that was partially done since 2010.

3.Was it difficult during those days while no body known your existence yet?

E. Angot  -  It is very difficult to start a band today, as there are many bands to excel on these other bands have to do something really good.

Whenever we face any difficulties with new materials, here in Brazil for example, there is no a scene of Depressive Black Metal and the like, then to launch a

or similar material of this genus, is very difficult.

4.Do you have any goals for the band (music perhaps)

E. Angot  -  My goal with this project is to pass all that I feel,in the lyrics and music.this was the main purpose of the ride I Daath. When finished the new album

I listened it whole, and I saw that the atmosphere of it was the way I wanted to, insanity and feelings that I went through with unclean vocals alternate environments and heavy keyboards.

5.Everyone is portrayed as a certain character. What role did you think you played in the band?

E. Angot  -  I see myself as an entity of suicide, I would be really happy if someone commit suicide listening  Daath, or go insane.

this is the message that I have to pass, that life has a huge hole, we smothers him with alcohol, drugs ...

plus it will still be there.

6.Did you feel changing about other things maybe about transference of emotions?

E. Angot  -  If you compare with the Demo album, much has changed really, because in 2010 I had an idea a little different, plus the hole in me only increased with time,

and years still made ​​me feel totally different things that I ended up going to this material. Perhaps it is not a change, but a different intensity of feelings.

7.What the best describe and the character of the band? (I mean how would you describe the music or the thing you’ve played)

E. Angot  -  So far I would say it is a trip without return to a sanatorium, this new material marked me as it has some different arrangements, clean vocals, sad, torn, suffering, insane ...

The way that crosses this project is an alternative path in relation to other bands, I want to work intensively with various themes, I incorporate several different elements.

8.What did you think made you stand into being a metal band?

E. Angot  -  The metal brings a very intense atmosphere, but I do not limit myself only in metal, I hear many different things all day, I opted for the more metal per taste the same.

More I intend to mount some project other non-metal styles further ahead.

9.Has there been some line-up changing during the years.. then do you think it will be a constant line-up?

E. Angot  -  In 2010 came Count Abyss assuming the battery, but this lineup did not last long, because by personal conflicts Count Abyss came out of metal, finished with the projects he was a part.

I intend to keep One man band, because dealing with people is really hard. If I ever do is some show with Daath, contract musicians, most put someone inside Daath, but maybe never.

10.How did you (I mean the band itself) manage to run the band?

E. Angot  -  How is a solo project, I do everything, letters, compositions, arrangements ... On the one hand it is good because the music reaches its perfection, the other is limited, such as making some presentation ..

11.How does the band decide which direction to take the music?

E. Angot  -  Are personal feelings, the project ended up taking direction from the side more depressed and suicidal, largely by my feelings for the other part I really like.

12.How did this concept become a definite line for the band?

E. Angot  -  is not defined, is something I'm going through now, in a few years I want to spend another message. Maybe that's one of the problems of current bands, limited only in some topic. I give freedom in that part of creation, I will talk about everything that I find it necessary.

13.How do you think that this metal classification would suit the band?

E. Angot  -  I do not like to classify Daath, when you're stuck on labels creates a creative limitation. Like I said, I intend to incorporate several different elements such as jazz, blues, funk, groove among others.

15.What the different things in the band composition, how do you manage to create this kind of atmosphere?

E. Angot  -  The main essence of my music is a feeling, because it starts right at the lyrics and then triggers the music. I believe the negative sentiment and melancholic that makes build the letters.

already is the beginning of the whole composition, from the beginning already know what I want to pass that song, add some "elements" to increase this feeling. Blutum Angot (Begotten In Pain) and me we used to store dead animals to get the gist of death on several occasions. I did a few times before recording some vocals,

smelling remains of animals to have contact with the true essence of death, she has a sweet smell that I like, and the recordings turn this gloomy aspect.

                                                                                                                                         16.Do you think that the new band is rather stagnant? How did you manage to raise your band out of this?

E. Angot  -  Young bands take time to get up, have to have a very good material and different walking rolling around. Perhaps Daath sounds different than these current bands, full of rules ... I'm here to break these very concepts humans who always want to limit the music with some label, anyway if someone wants his band grow the principal is doing something different from the ordinary ....

17.Did you think that the music and the song  that you wrote was your real expression?                                    (E. Angot - 2012)                                                               
E. Angot  -  Are personal feelings that are present in any music of my own . anything I do will always have something I want to spend, and probably will very clear all these expressions in music.

18.In what way did your life change by playing in an underground band?

E. Angot  -  The main thing is you feel what makes, changes occur in any mediocre direction we take, but do some art form with all your feelings and dedication is immeasurable pleasure.

20.Experimenting is a kind of great thing when we are talking about music. Do you intentionally try to explore new field with your music? Is this experimenting present in your daily life as well?

E. Angot  -  I hear different songs all the time, and my intent with this project is to evolve and experiment without limits. I will make a psychedelic album soon, full of influences from the late '60s and early '70s. Make the listener feel the whole atmosphere of the album along with the lyrics and the music, which was already used in terms, this new album because the main idea of this album is to make the listener feel inside of insanity and the sanatorium represented in this material .

21.Being a black metal band often limit their lyrical concept. In the band did you try to get a broader sense?( it doesn’t cares either you playing black metal or not coz the main topic here just a broader sense at all)

E. Angot  -  black metal to me is total freedom, I will not to limit myself because some idiots did this movement a "book of rules" to follow, actually Christianized. is easy to see Christian morality by taking account of people's minds, live comforting their minds with lies and lies. My lyrics are personal feelings, never limit myself, in both lyrics and musicality.

22.What kind of ideas you had in mind when you set out for new material?

E. Angot  -  I really wanted to make a stay in a sanatorium and something totally insane and different, full of experimental elements. Starting with the clean vocals varying the most insane possible. a musicality and engaging morbid, with pianos, keyboards oppressive, and clean guitars. Joining all this managed to make this new material, named "Psychiatric Ward". I was very satisfied with the title and the album itself.

23.How would you describe your material? (old or the new material if possible)

E. Angot  -  I'll talk about a new material this out later this year, will be a split with the Begotten in Pain, the material will contain two tracks sound totally different and experimental, the songs are almost ready, lack only some arrangements. something that varies from extreme to beautiful.

25.What’s the best compliment a scene people can pay you?

E. Angot  -  If anyone could understand what I step in music was already a good size. but I would be very pleased if someone commit suicide or go insane listening to the daath. fully self-destructive ...

26.Is there something that you are longing for?

E. Angot  -  Perhaps my own destruction ...   

    

27.How do you think you have helped to shape your current metal music’s scene?

E. Angot  -  Are several elements that are passed several bands of varying styles and influences as whole is harmfulan hour ends up by taking it all some form, good or bad.

Maybe I'm on the right track, trying to be more experimental, ie, putting old and new elements in my music. we will see where it goes over the years.

28.Is there a band that you would like to be compared with?

E. Angot  -  There are many bands out there that I would like to be compared, but I see that my music will always sound the way I see it, as I said before all is harmful influences, listening to different bands always got something new, and this contact is what matters .

29.What did you think made you stand out from the rest of the metal acts?

E. Angot  -  We never know for sure, each seeking something in the music, so many different sensations are felt by many different people.

30.What was the most challenging part about being in the underground metal scene?

E. Angot  -  The lack of support that exists on this false "scene" of metal, and the neglect of which is the major record labels, has several bands releasing material for seals out of the country for lack of support here. maybe that's the main reasons many bands stop.

 
                                                        

31.What about commercialism? As you know here in underground doesn’t really translate into cash. So what do you do to make ends meet?

E. Angot  -  Speaking of sales is difficult because many criticize the sale of materials, on the other hand most bands do it and need to sell as art materials to get the necessary feedback to continue. Each band has its proper value, and commercial pop songs end up disappearing in a pile of garbage, what is good is saved ... I own a bookstore and lp's used, it's great to have a library and a disco at your disposal ...the chances of progress are enormous.

35.Don’t you think in the long term finally you get tired and boring too. Do you feel if there is gonna be a radical change?
