Tyrant's Blood (Canada) 10/01/2011

Marco Banco: We are pleased with the progression up to now, but of course we wish to move forward with a new album in the new year. We are almost ready to begin recording once again, perhaps March we will start to lay down drum tracks. As a group and individually we are never going to be fully satisfied I believe because there will always be something more to conquer.

Marco Banco: Everything other members have done effect the band in one form or another, whether it be writing or philosophy. For instance Brian Messiah stay with Infernal Majesty improved his vocals and gave him a different approach to writing, whereas before he was limited, he now has some of the technique used by a more classic death metal style. Vinnie’s bass and vocal skills are very intense from years of extreme progressive death metal that he did with his former group Omega Crom. Matt Blood’s drums come from years of excellent grindcore style with Abuse. Of course my skills are derived from speed metal with Witches Hammer and old Black/death style with Blasphemy. All these combined bring together our unique approach to our sound.

Marco Banco: Blasphemy was easy for me to be involved with as I had known them for the few years they had been a group. I had sat in on their early rehearsals a few times and was impressed by their style. When I was with Witches Hammer we wanted to bring them into the forefront of our city’s scene and so in 1988 we gave them their first show, a year later Witches Hammer called it a day and that week I replaced the Insane Black Priest who had left due to his psychotic state. The 3.5 years with Blasphemy were interesting and life changing as we were very young and very violent at the time. My time with Thor was only 1 day he asked me to help him out, I had been a fan of When the Gods Collide and was very impressed with the opportunity, but 1 day with the mighty Thor has somehow made me a former member.

Marco Banco: It is a culmination of our lifetime in the most extreme of musical style , if you take Blasphemy, abuse Witches Hammer and Infernal Majesty, throw that together you get Tyrant’s Blood, aggression, violence and always intensity. This lifestyle is in the blood and after time it becomes such a part of your existence that it becomes as breathing.

Marco Banco: Everything inspires that has a theme suited to us Satanic, Demonic, war, occult, maniacs, heathenism, destruction, apocalyptic vision, the old classic horror movies and old books all the things that we are into.

Marco Banco: The new album will be released this year sometime, we will begin around March.

Marco Banco: BLACK METAL for me has become a bit too glamorized and popular although i see this warning and i am very glad for that, the bastardization of artistry and style sickens me however the groups that come through are excellent and there are some great groups writing fantastic music.

Marco Banco: Anything that i hear that i like, personally, metal will always be mt musical style, however, i do not limit myself to it these days.

Marco Banco: I respect those bands that are true to there conviction. Mystifier are very true in their nature, impiety also, Nifelheim is another band with great attitude.

Marco Banco: I am atheist in that i do not believe in religious christian dogma or any fucked up islamic shit. I believe there is much more behind this dimension, i believe we will be revealed to all things eventually, but this is based on personal experience, not biblical nonsense.

Marco Banco: No we have not, but we ant to soon, we have been offered, but so far not such good thing, we have played South America and want very much to play Greece, Italy and Japan and all Europe and the world. We have some fans in Greece and people i have corresponded with for many years. For me Varathron is always going to be my all time favorite group.

Marco Banco: In March we will begin to record the 3rd album and possible a split or 2 also. There are plans to release a live album in a year. Tyrant's Blood are dedicated to all fire breathers, witches, Satanic skinheads, destroyers, usurpers of religion and society's cage, fuck the lies, impose your will, fear nothing and burn the walls that imprison you asunder.
