The Total Sound Of The Undergound

Lelahel Metal

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.
