interview with Suicidal Causticity

Have any of you played in other bands?

Hi, Elia'sThomas Passanisi here, one of the axes of Suicidal.

Yes, everyone has played or is still playing in other bands..I joined the band at the beginning for this reason..i was playing with Dario in Subhuman , when the previous guitarist of Suicidal left, so he asked me to replace him.Now i am not anymore playing in Subhuman, but Edoardo replace me.Nowadays just Gorgo and me are involved just with Suicidal.Dario and Edorado are also playing in Subhuman, while Thommy in Sickening too..

How is it that you started playing music? I was 15 when i started, after be amazed by Fear of the Dark…This music was so powerful , i wanted to be a part of it

What are your names? / Who plays what? / How old are you? The actual line up is: Nicholas "Gorgo" Bruni , 31, vocals, Elia Murgia, 38 , guitars, Edoardo Scali, 25 , guitars, Dario Lastrucci, 32, bass guitar, Thomas Passanisi , 27, drum.

Have you had other previous members? Yes, Riccardo Tortoli, Fabrizio Maddaluni and Leonardo Galtieri, all of them at guitars.

What year did the band form? The band started in Italy in 2011, because of Dario's desire to play brutal death metal.

How have you developed since you started with the music? Basically yes, Dario, the main composer, started to play at the age of 5, he was always involved in music, so it is something completely natural..

Are you looking for a booking agency, and what are your thoughts around that?

Whe don't have yet a booking agency, but whe collaborate time by time with them..next may we will be on tour with Incantation, through Nihil Productions/Etrurian Legion.

Agencies are very important if you want to grow, it is something impossible to take care of everything.

What are your songs about?

The last records, out in June through Amputated vein record, is a concept album about sexual disorders, but from a psychological first person way,every song describe a different one.

We are already working on the next album that will be a concept about Africa, so we are , from this side, different from the classic death metal themes.

Do you always play the same songs live, or do you vary? We have our classics, but we always change the setlist.

Do you have a regular place you play live often? There are some places in our area in which we play quite often, like Exenzia Club, Cycle and Circus in which we played the let concert for the release party of the new Coram Lethe album.

Have you had to cancel a gig? Never and we really want to follow on this line. 

When did you start to sell merchandise, and what do you have for sale?

We have our t-shirts since the first album.People can buy them at our concerts or from our bigcartel store (http://suicidalcausticity.bigcartel.com/ )

What do you think about people downloading music instead of buying records now a days? Nowadays is quite normal, in a way it can be good for new bands to promote, but for sure all the sistem is collapsing..Less people are buying, less money in the music business, less opportunities for bands..

What do you think of my work? Of course music journalist are very important to help bands, and in general music, to reach a larger number of people!Every review, every interview help us to grow..

Do you have any role models or idols? We grow up listening a lot of music, and not just metal..talking about metal , our heroes are Death, Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, but also Iron maiden , Judas priest, Megadeth..

What have been your biggest obstacles? We love music, it is a pleasure for us to play, to compose, to record a new album..of course is not always easy but we try never to lose the pleasure to make music.So, we can have problems, but we always try to solve and to do our best. Sometimes we have a plan , but things go differently, like with the recoding of The Human Touch, in the end it took longer than we expected..

What advice would you give other bands or artists? I don't think we can give any advice, just to to workhard and never to lose the pleasure to make music..

Do you have any new material? Yes of course, we are already working on the new record..we have basically all the ideas, new songs , artwork ..it will be a step forward, follow us and you will be not disappointed! 

What are your web sites? We don't have a website, but you can follow us on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/suicidalcausticity/ and on you tube :https://www.youtube.com/user/SuicidalCausticity
