Discover the evolution of DUSK's sound as we delve into their upcoming album 'Industrie.' From Industrial remixes to unique genre fusions, explore their musical journey and aspirations.
1. Can
you tell us about the concept behind your upcoming album "Industrie"
and how it differs from your previous releases?
This new
release is more “Industrial oriented” than our usual Blackened Atmospheric
overtones, also on this album we lowered the BPM to half speed.
2. What
inspired you to incorporate groove-paced riffs into the aggressive and
apocalyptic soundscapes of "Industrie"?
Well, we
wanted to make this record a vast heavier but still very dark and modern and
inversely to other Industrial Black Metal projects out there.
3.
Could you walk us through the creative process of composing the six
conceptually linked chapters of the album?
On this
album every single track was created differently and each track is diferet from
the other.
4. How
did you approach the revisioning of Mayhem's "Freezing Moon" to fit
within the thematic framework of "Industrie"?
For
starters MAYHEM was one of the first Black Metal band who incorporate
Industrial on their music, so for us it seemed appropriate and risky to make a
Industrial Remix of that Iconic Track of the black metal scene.
5. DUSK
is known for combining industrial and atmospheric black metal elements. What
draws you to this unique fusion of genres?
I was a
producer in electronica since I was very young and also a Black metal and
Industrial metal fan, so it came very naturally, aside from that fact we also
we wanted to produce a unique sound in a unusual genre.
6. How
has your sound evolved since the formation of DUSK in 2016, and what can
listeners expect from "Industrie" in terms of musical progression?
Well, we
started in a very fast chaotic raw blackened industrial in our first EP, then
we started examining and pursuing a more unique sound even mixing it with noise
and power electronics.
7. What
role does each band member play in shaping DUSK's distinctive sound,
particularly in terms of programming synthesizers, vocals, guitar, and bass?
Well, I try
to harvest the music as much as possible, produce compose most of it before we
incorporate the rest of the instruments.
8. What
are some of the challenges and rewards of being a Costa Rican band in the
global metal scene?
I would say
the only reward is that is unusual for most people, but the reality is that
Latin American Metal scene is very retrograde in metal taste, compared to
Europe and USA, and our style is very modern and very dark completely opposite
to a power metal music for example. Social networks make it easier to spread
the music but the genre itself is meant to be underground.
9. You've
previously shared the stage with Samael during their Latin American Tour in
2019. How did that experience influence your approach to live performances and
musical collaborations?
It was very
interesting to us, specially since SAMAEL is one of the most successful
Industrial Black Metal bands out there, and that was our Live Debut, so we were
very honored.
10. Can
you elaborate on the electronic influences present in your music and how they
contribute to the overall atmosphere of your compositions?
Our electronic influences are very broad. From old school Industrial metal to new modern Darkstep witch house and also the extreme areas of electronica like Power electronics and Noise.
11. How
do you balance the relentless, uncaring pounding blast beats with the slow,
powerful doom patterns in your songs to create a cohesive sonic experience?
For us
music has to make sense send the listener into a chaotic trance without making
it tiresome, irritating or boring, balance is very imperative in the Industrial
Black Metal composition in our perspective.
12. Looking
ahead, what are your aspirations and goals for DUSK, both artistically and in
terms of reaching new audiences with your music?
Our goal
has always been to influence the scene instead of been influenced by it.
