Angels of Liberty: A Very Interesting Interview Forthcoming

Well, it would seem my recent post on "My Current Playlist" has finally gotten me the interview I have desired for so long! I am interviewing my favorite Goth band, Angels of Liberty! These guys were at the top of my list for potential interviews when I first started this blog. This is just the kind of music I had hoped to bring forth to "mystify the masses".

Angels of Liberty are very reclusive, and based in the UK. I was honored that they even considered my request for an interview. Even more amazing is the fact that THEY contacted ME about the interview. It should be VERY interesting, to say the least.

Lyrically, they have much to say about some very controversial subjects.They write about reptilian aliens and alien bloodlines, and even more about spiritual liberation. I think you guys will be intrigued. This falls right in line with many of my own pursuits, from music, to my historical fiction about this material, and my own beliefs of a more spiritual nature. Naturally, I am very excited about it.

I do believe I am the first person to even question them on such subjects. Most journalists simply ask them about the music, but I, of course have "other questions" HEHE! I do plan extensive articles on their music, as well, so there should be lots of interesting material forthcoming on this blog.

There are many things about this band which intrigue me. I believe them to be a frontrunner on the Gothic music scene, and perhaps even the epitome of the better aspects of the current Goth  movement, and of Goth culture itself. There is definitely no other quite like them around.

Yet another impressive aspect of Angels of Liberty is the fact that they seek to promote the entire culture, including other bands, and even small time journalists, such as myself.  They bring many things to light about the Gothic movement that would otherwise be shrouded in the hype of the latest "trends". In my opinion, they represent "true Goth", as opposed to the mainstream media crap we are currently being fed about it, which seems all about "fashion", and lacks in actual substance.

This is the singers response to my queries thus far...
Voe Saint-Clare : "Just wanted to let you know: Got the questions this morning. Fantastic questions. Its more like a meeting of minds than an interview. This is the first one I've done that is intelligent and interesting. I think music journalism is your forte. "

So...yeah! This should be QUITE interesting, and you won't BELIEVE some of things I have asked him. I will keep you all posted.

Tool : Modern Metal With a Spiritual Element

Another band of which I am very fond is Tool. I have enjoyed their music since they first started releasing it in the early 90's. They are certainly not your average metal band. Some don't even consider them a metal band, but some their stuff is pretty "heavy", so I do. They actually combine elements of metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and many other genres.

One thing I love about this band is the fact that they are also very melodic. Most of the metal I prefer is very melodic. Tool is different; however, in that sometimes the timing is odd, in terms of different instruments, but still "fits" together quite nicely somehow. This combined with the fact that they often add a very "tribal" element, makes their music very unusual, and almost hypnotic at times.

This tribal element, as well as the spiritual aspect of many of their lyrics, is another reason for my fascination with them. The music moves me greatly. I find myself using it often when trying to meditate, a task that is actually very hard for me because I have a hard time getting my mind to shut up. Tool seems to help with that a bit.

I also enjoy dancing and doing yoga while playing Tool. I find my movements to be more fluid and natural than with any other music, and often end up combining yoga and dance together during the process. This too can be very meditative.

Here is a prime example of some really kool stuff Tool does. In this particular piece, you will find that the famous Fibonacci sequence has been used. This sequence is found throughout all of nature.

Here is the Tool song, "Lateralus", with an explanation of how the Fibonacci sequence is used therein.
