Nethertale Interview

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?
The band was born in Benidorm in 2012 from the ashes of a deathcore project
known as “Big Chocolate” (not that north american guy, hahaha) and some  Nethertale members played in it. In the early 2013 we performed our first show as Nethertale.Later, in may, we released “Beast of the Nether”, a double single in digital format. A while after, we focused completely in composing and getting our fist LP ready.

2.Recently you have released your first album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording?
We strongly wanted a natural but heavy sound for “Abyssal Throne”, trying to get out of the steam of this ultra-processed sound that even sounds fake.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
Our lyrics are based on an original story written by Jabo (Vocals). The story is about the seas, its secrets, its beasts and how men fight to conquer the oceans.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Nethertale'
Nethertale defines perfectly the nature  and background of our songs. The word “nether” has always been mythologically linked to the underworld. “Tales from the underworld”. Its sounds good.

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?
We have good memories about our performance at the band contest WOLFEST, where we won the second prize. We also may mention playing at DARK FEST and also with our friends Stained Blood. As to our shows, we like to make the sound as similar as possible to the LP, and we try to improve it day by day.

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the new album?
We are planning right now a national tour and we will reveal some dates soon .

7.The new album was released on Susperia Records, are you happy with the support they have given you so far?
We are happy with our relationship with Suspiria Records. They have put their trust in us and we understand each other very good.

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of melodic death metal?
Since we have just released our first LP, we still can’t say much about the reaction outside the country. It’s soon to talk about it but we’ve got a good feeling.

9.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
We try to follow the death metal, and extreme genres in general. It’s what we like the most, and would like to evolve the path.

10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
We are five, which means tons of influences. within metal, we can name a few… THEBLACK DAHLIA MUDER, GOROD, NEGATOR, NAPALM DEATH, SUFFOCATION, REVOCATION, HYPOCRISY, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY, BE’LAKOR, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, INFERI, LAMBOF GOD, ALL SHALL PERISH, SLIPKNOT, DER WER EINER FREIHEIT, OLD MAN’S CHILD, NAGLFAR, DISSECTION, AT THE GATES, STAINED BLOOD, ORPHANS OF
