if that could be said, monster!
BLACK APPLE MEETS SHAJOL Band from Quito- Ecuador which idea initially began in Sweden and Israel. Shajol comes from sejel (sechel) which means Mind, an inner revolution, war, a soul. Sashquita from Emalyth put us in touch with this band and said they are a must to interview for your next ezine. Thanks to Emalyth we will be able to see these guys in action in December!! Congratulations Emalyth - we know this event will be one that must not be missed! What inspires the bands music? I think that we'd like to inspire a lot of rage, stuff that we want to kill, an alternative world to live, a weapon to devastate, but all of it inside ourselves, start with ourselves, in our minds erasing the bad, the unfair, inequitable, and then become creative beings who come out with explosive things for our days or environment to improve. What do you think sets your band apart from the others (makes your band better)? That's hard to answer, nowadays there is lots of huge and extremely good bands, BUT I must say, our idea of music making is a little bit different, We thought at the very beginning to write every song as a chapter and then the next is a continuation of the other. Also, at least me I always had an idea of composing songs as if i was playing a video game, first level is a piece of cake but then it gets more technical, tougher, etc, so the final episode is like a catastrophic level which hits you straight in the head which you have to deal with, pass it, and end it We wanted to focus as well on a human mind and behaviour, a whole destruction of everything, a better understanding, a universe around us and not just ourselves. What is the bands favourite thing about performing on stage? That's something we still have to find out, we are band working in our songs soon to be available for everybody, This is something I had in my head for a while and for years and finally is being recorded, we haven t played live yet, but our rehearsals are brutal and there is no doubt it is going to be quite insane on stage, that's for sure.
