Interview Corrozion

Welcome to our interview with Corrozion! Dive into the dark depths of 'Dark Lights' as we explore the inspiration behind their latest album.

1. Your latest album "Dark Lights" delves into dark themes and emotions. What inspired the lyrical content and musical direction for this record?

The lyrics are inspired by readings, news stories and films, and flow from the atmosphere created by the musicians. The songs have been chosen so that the EP remains coherent; they are different but keep a common thread.

2. "Hypnotized" kicks off the album with a powerful sound. Can you tell us about the creative process behind this track and how it sets the tone for the rest of the album?

The track begins with a sample to set the mood. Damien, the guitarist, originally came up with the riff, then the bass was added and finally the drums. We see it as an invitation to a journey into the world of Corrozion.

3. "Out of Time" has been described as incisive. What message or feeling were you aiming to convey with this song?

“Out of Time” expresses a certain psychological suffering linked to confinement, whether real or imaginary.

4. "When Death Decides for You" takes listeners to the edge of the abyss. What was the inspiration behind this intense and introspective track?

Initially, the inspiration was to make a track that sounded rather dark wave; in the end, something more visceral came out of it, something that takes you to the gut!

5. "Sleepwalker" has a haunting quality to it. How did you approach crafting the atmosphere and mood for this song?

For “Sleepwalker”, the idea was to start with a rather calm melody and build up intensity throughout the song. It's a song cut out for live performance, with the vocals building to a climax and, let's say, a massive ending.

6. Working with David Potvin at Dome Studio in Angers must have been an enriching experience. How did his production style contribute to shaping the sound of "Dark Lights"?

We had already worked with David on the previous EP “Come back/Exil” and we wanted to work with him again. I think he's really brought his touch to it, there's a “Dome Studio” sound that's very much his own.

7. Your cover art for the album is quite striking. Can you share the concept behind the artwork and how it reflects the music within?

What you see is a fundus (eye)  with a chaos cross. It is said that the soul can be seen through the eye. The eye allows us to see the outside world more or less objectively, but it's also a gateway to the psyche. The boundary between mind and reality, that's how this EP reflects it.

8. Your upcoming shows include performances at Oudon and Hellfest le off. What can fans expect from your live performances, especially in these festival settings?

We want to convey a sound, that of Corrozion, and I hope to convey some emotions too!

9. Looking ahead, what are your plans and aspirations for Corrozion in the coming year?

We've taken over the compositions, so the idea is to move forward and make our music evolve, and then of course to continue transmitting it via concerts.
