Neophyte is a band of Street-punk from Metz (France) released some time ago the ep "effort discographique # 1" and come out normally, his new album before the end of the year. Good opportunities to ask some questions to Roman singer - guitarist of training.
I ask you questions about effort discographique # 1 and the new album. I begin:
Are the titles of Ep will be present on the current album in preparation?
Romain: No. Theeses songs are not selected for the album ...
They do not quite stuck in the atmosphere of the disc.
The 4th album will include only the unrealeased material.
Second question: what is GG Allin for you and at the same time Komintern sect said on the first album?
Komintern sect, it was an opportunity to apprehend alcohol as a vehicle for social (as opposed to the message of Delirium tremens). It was also a way to honor the wave chaos that fascinated me at the time ... As for GG ALLIN, useless to try to intellectualize his work ... But it is with pleasure that I will try to share my passion for the younger man ... (smile)
I read in various sites and magazines during your next concert you play no more the songs of the 3 first albums. Why this choice?
Working on the album to make it a sort of musical piece with 12-13 titles non stop (a roughly 1 hour of non stop music). If we decide to play this album on 4th scene, we will not include old songs.
But it is a colossal work and we are not certain to do technically. Anyway, we played Saturday night a dozen of old songs and it's always very pleasant to do.
So this definition is it's just that you want to do concerts dedicated to the new album ...
We would like very much. But ultimately, I think we will try to make sequences of 3 tracks on the album to live interspersed our old songs ...
And what are the statement of work on the new album?
It should be completed 8 songs to 75% plus a few interludes, bridges and riffs.
It's really very difficult to implement but we work hard!
Before the release of " effort discographique "I read that the next Neophyte would be in a vein HxC dub. Finally it is for the next album?
There will be dub riffs on the next album normally ... (smile)
To return to " effort discographique", it seems to me that the texts are simpler, with less sense of reading. It is only an impression?
They may be shorter, I think.
I tried to save only 2 lines of reading. It is far songs PERSPECTIVE FORCEE leaving in all directions. (laughs)
But I have not transferred to the facility so far and I think I got all that invested in other Neophyte songs.
From a strictly musical point of view I have the impression that your voice changed, be more melodic now, so it seems to me that the sound of guitar evolved (different distortion). In addition I would say that "effort discographique" is in the lineage of AD VITAM AETERNAM and is more melodic and still different. What do you think?
I believe that it is above all linked to the studio. The guitar is the same as for FORCED PERSPECTIVE POINT BREAK and therefore I do not think it comes from there.
We may compare this disc AD VITAM AETERNAM for its accessible (there is also a reference to its artxork in the book) but the side of the PERSPECTIVE to look for feedback and some tortured schemas .
A little further you talking about the concerts. Will be lucky to see you outside the region of Metz, as much by playing at home but it's a little frustrating for your other fans do not see you ....?
It is not much for us. it's 2 years that does more! (laughs)
But we'll try to remedy them.
On the first Neophyte, with songs like "Ma Géneéation", "Révolte et determination" and "Simple et complexe," you were close to the anarchist movement / libertarian. What's now?
It is always the case.
Finally I would like to know if the text "Devenir le roi" is a critique, or whether it represents your way of seeing things?
This is a review. A self-same may be. (Smile)
What do you think of the download? (I would like the opinion of other band members on this issue)
Answer is the same for everyone.
We are radically against (for the same reasons that lead us to be pro-vinyl)
. We are against the dematerialization of music.
We are against the collection of CDR
We are against rendering MP3
But do not you think that if your disks are set to download on some sites, it helps you to know?
No. One is not better known now than in 2000 at the time of the introduction ... In addition, it was not fortunate enough to be a live band coming refourguer more or less 300 euros matos date so ... the sale of CDs is the only way for us to survive. Without this money, no new record, no new hard ... It's that simple.
And then with regard to the spread of ideas, people have to photocopy our laws and leave the music alone. You know when you buy an album you do not have the same effort when you listen severe skeud ... Burning is the consumption block ... You listen, you throw ...
Finally could you tell me what are your 5 favorite CDs, unlimited style and time?
Unable to respond to this kind of question. (laughs)
