Interview:GRIMLET

GRIMLET are one of the bands that have been revitalizing the Lusitanian underground Death Metal scene. January 2009 will see the release of their first LP. RHL has talked to the band to find out how the work is progressing and what fans can expect of the upcoming album.

RHL – 5 years after the EP "Darkness Shrouds The Hidden", you're undergoing the process of recording what will be your first LP. What novelties have been introduced in your sound?

Luís – A lot of things changed since the "Darkness Shrouds The Hidden" EP, starting with the lineup changes, the departure of a guitarist and keyboardist, we as human beings, our maturity and increased experience, the motivation and the realizing of the reality around us also have changed. The absence of the keyboards automatically makes our sound more aggressive and that was our desire, and so was the inclusion of a new guitar player who brought with him new ideas and influences, so this album will certainly be more aggressive than the previous EP, and quite different…

RHL – As for the lyrics, what will they talk about in the upcoming album?

Claúdio- They will talk about the chaos in the human mind, its twisted side, that which leads us to fear, anguish and… madness.

RHL- In other words, the lyrics will try do dissect that which goes on in the human brain…

Claúdio- Yes, maybe dissect. "Why do we do this?". Why is the human mind capable of such twisted deeds… that's what we try to transmit.
Luís – This record will definitely show our fascination by the human mind and how this is influenced and manipulates by reality and our inner chaos resulting from that influence and imagination.

RHL – "Grim Perceptions" is slated to be the album's title. What's its symbolism?

Luís – The album's title sums up the concepts explained in the previous question, meaning, deep down they're somber perceptions that come to us when we're confronted with a reality marked by the manipulation of human mind at every level. The album is an introspection, a becoming aware of the inner chaos that dominates and absorbs our subconscious.

RHL – Where in the recording process are you right now?

Luís – Right now we're concluding the vocals at the EchoSystem studio in Barcelos with Bruno Gonçalves, then we'll proceed to the mixing stage – the work will be mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth, Heavenwood) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.

RHL – As for the graphical part… can you lift the veil a bit?

Luís – We're working with Canadian artist Etienne Saint-Amant for the album cover that we will soon unveil, a master in the mathematical and digital arts whose work fits like a glove in our concept for the album.

RHL – To finalize, now together for some years, I believe the band is quite solid today and anxious to play this work live. What is the atmosphere in Grimlet's midst?

Luís – Yes, we are more coherent than never and quite motivated to show this new album live. All those who attended the 2nd Festival Noites no Forte at Figueira da Foz could see a preview of the album, and we also took some footage for a videoclip/DVD to be included in the album. We're already booking dates to take off with a national tour in 2009 and we're also planning some trips to Spain, but we'll update you in due time…
