SUPPORT THE METAL SCENE

Luna 13 - Interviewed By BathoryZine!

How the band did gets its name? There are generally 13 full moons in a year.

How has black metal music changed from 2014 to 2020? Depends on the band. Many keep a very old school sound and look, while others have built onto the model in their own creative ways. Each it’s own deliciously dark flavor. Music is ever evolving.
Do you think that black metal will ever become mainstream? Not likely considering how many “normies” still cringe seem to be a large portion of the population. We like living the “ underground “.
How did the band get into the movie Devil’s Domain? We got a call from our label that they wanted us for a part in a movie, as they were working towards promoting their bands through scenes and soundtrack CDs via Cleopatra Entertainment. It was a devilishly fun fit.

If you could put yourself into any horror film. Which would it be and why? As a character or actually living the movie? As a character in a movie, Hellraiser. As living the movie, gremlins would be hilarious.
What was “Illinois- A Halloween†? Is there any problem with copyright issues?   ???

How was it to perform at the famous Whisky A Go Go? I love that place , the people, the crowds, the history. It really means more than I can put into words on those nights where you can feel the energy fill the room. It also, to me, seems to have note of music classes growing up and the nostalgia of the music store I went to growing up called Roll Over Beethoven’s.

Tell me about the making of Leviathan video? It’s meant to be a creative representation of those who have been wronged becoming Leviathan and getting justice. Leviathan as the song is very giant sea serpent/demon destroying everything( simpler way to put it). The actor playing the guy that I repeatedly torture and kill did a fantastic job playing so many different roles. The entire crew was amazing and several are in our band Coven. The makeup was a mix of me and the whole cast and crew, the set was a sweet studio, there was a really fun and friendly energy the whole time, lots of joking around.


Which video shows what Luna 13 is about the best? So far.. Devil’s Wrath or Upside Down. Dark, witchcraft, horror, good ol dancing with the devil witchcraft from the past kind of stuff. Like immortal witches from the past telling their stories in the future through electronic metal.

After the release of Dark Horse, you will be heading back to the studio to start working on a new album. How long before it gets release? Around November 13th of this year.

Is Valentine Day a Bloody Valentine for you? Haha we often perform on that day so yes.

Can you have too much bass in a song? Never, it is the purr that massages my nerve cells and beyond.

What are your feeling about streaming music? I grew up with strict rules on music so as a kid I acquired music that was “taboo” any way I could and I also understand other reasons for using streaming as well. I also get why some artists wouldn’t, but we all have to adapt to changes that time inevitably brings.

Digital vs. vinyl? Vinyl does have nice things about it, yet digital allows for a wider range for the music the spread.

Any plans to tour? We had plenty in the works and posted them, but with the various issues related to the pandemic we have had to put a hold on touring until things get figured out.

What song from the past is in your mind right now? And what is the meaning that song means to you? 
NWA Fuck Tha Police, the protest in Minneapolis is playing on the TV next to me. The injustice towards anyone with different skin from jerks who were hired to “ serve and protect” the community has got to stop.

How do you feel the Covid-19 virus going to affect the music business in the future? Already has with so many venues and bars not likely to survive, many bands rely on live internet shows now, a lot of bands we know are working on new albums or at home music videos. In the future the whole music scene will have to function differently if there’s no way to treat the disease.

What have you been doing with your self-quarantine? The new album, a cover song and music video, mostly music related stuff. Along with many other things like bingeing tv, snacking often, gardening, cat playing, renewing my phlebotomy certification, and making other art.

Have you discovered or rediscovered any new hobbies? More time for gardening is the rediscovered hobby that I now have more time for. The new hobby would be sewing face masks for family and friends. Renewed my phlebotomy certification as well.

Lots of people are doing nightly concerts over either YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Are you planning to do something like that? We have been considering it, although considering the vibe we go for normally this particular mode is something we’ve been hesitant about. There should be something live from us soon either show or otherwise.

Do you think it will be possible to make a living doing concerts this way?
Possibly, but from what I’ve seen the internet shows have a much  different energy to me. We’ll see.

First it was an article in the New York Times, then Rolling Stones talked about it and finally Live Nation CEO said that concerts may not start again until fall of 2021. Do you think this could happen?
With all of the proper science in mind I do see that as a viable reality.

With Social Distance being the norm. Do you feel that it maybe the end of music fest for the next couple of years? Depends on how soon a vaccine can be developed, but people will do what they want at some point.

What about Holographic concerts in our living room?
I don’t know might be ok for some.

How do you see yourself in the next five years? Hopefully not nuclear fallout at this point. Still doing music.

Anything you would like to say in closing? Keep making art, keep community through music and art alive. No matter how things are in the world it gives everyone a creative way to help with so many different things.

"Ace Of Spades" Mercenarios In Confinement 2020

                                         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JusCaWAc8ss

♠ MERCENARIOS ♠ was formed in Barcelona by the singer Carlos Esteras 
after the dissolution of the band "Escalera de Color" in July 2000. 
After several sessions and entries and exits of musicians in the band, 
the vocalist did not see it clearly and finally he would end up just 
dedicating himself to composing. But it was not until mid-2007 that he 
met a concert with his good friend, guitarist Marc Martorell (ex-Transilvania) 
and bassist Lukhas Khomunyas (ex-Achtung) and proposed to them to be part 
of the project, Carlos already had enough composite material and Both Marc 
and Lukhas knew the singer's musical work and accepted his proposal. Only 
the rhythmic base was missing and they contacted Tony Metal (ex-Chainsaws) 
who joined the project, not only as a drummer but also as a producer. With 
the entire band rehearsals began and in October of that year they entered 
the "Black Rhino" studios. As soon as Lukhas recorded the album, he would 
leave the group to start another project and his place would be occupied by 
an old friend of the singer, Manu Reno (ex-Vollband).
In late March 2008 the project came to light with a fast, hard and forceful 
Rock & Roll loaded album called ... ♠ MERCENARIOS ♠.
They would do several concerts presenting the album, among which songs such 
as “Rock and God”, the ballad “While you slept” and the banner song “Mercenaries” 
of which they would record from a video clip would stand out. All this would last
 a very short time, so Mercenaries would end up separating.
After a while Carlos Esteras begins to reunite the band again, gets back in contact 
with Marc Martorell and they start looking for the musicians who fit in to complete 
the training. It will not be until 2014 and after an odyssey of auditions they manag
e to enlist the remaining members to complete the band.
  
Firstly, bassist José Templado (ex-Sergeant Rock) would join the formation and soon 
after, drummer Robert Cat (ex-Irthangaz). But the line of work is not as expected and 
the band would dissolve again, to which Carlos Esteras decides to completely renew the 
formation.

At the end of 2017, after several tests on musicians, Jose Tavero joined the solo 
guitar. Excellent guitarist to belonged to bands like "Blackouters" and "Lost Oxymoron".
 Next will be Iván Tenaz (ex-Soulless) as drummer, forceful with the heavy artillery he 
gets fully into the project. And finally bassist Oscar Krasher, a four-string virtuoso 
will complete the lineup. After a list of concerts during 2018 presenting the new line-up, 
in January of the following year they recorded a new album loaded with pure Rock & Roll-Metal 
and with a motorcycle theme called “Barcelona R&R”.

At the end of 2019 Oscar Krasher leaves the band and is replaced by Javier Barrecha (ex-Manzano)
, with the new lineout in full they begin to compose new material for the next album. At the 
beginning of 2020 they will present the new formation in Barcelona.
