A Sete Palmos - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Metal/Deathcore band A Sete Palmos from Brazil, sot here you can see and give a like their FACEBOOK PAGE. We have nothing more to say, so enjoy this interview!

1.Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

The free translation for A Sete Palmos is six feet under. Six feet under is the place under the ground that we are buried when the body perishes. We believe that the death is the most supernatural event we witness in life. Questions about death gave life to many beliefs and disturbing questions about this subject. Death would be only the “dark” before the experience of being alive? Where do we go when the body perishes? The elements of our body that allows the consciousness of being alive just make that experience die with then? Or our consciousness is transferred to another completely different form of world? Our music is the abstraction, transformation, modelling of the events from the natural world into a world as different and sublime as the nature of death. This is what A Sete Palmos represent.

2.Why did you want to play this genre?

Filipe - In general, what is eccentric always fascinated me, and in terms of sonority, heavy music provides it in a unique and striking way. I think we don’t play a especific genre, but na amalgamation of sounds that offer aggressiveness that satisfies this penchant for eccentric, and which also fits with the themes of which we address in the lyrics.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Brayan - Not exactly. Me, Bruno and Filipe played together in some cover bands once. Alessandro and Whashyngton met each other in a mall. I met Alessandro and Whashyngton at a concert in our city.

4. Each band member favourite band?

Alessandro: Alesana

Bruno: Suicide Silence

Brayan: Bring Me The Horizon

Filipe: The Shaggs Washyngton: Chelsea Grin

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Death.

6. Where was your last gig?

At the west side of our city, Natal/RN, Brazil. It was in a house they rented for this concert. Is not usual to have heavy music concerts in this place. The coolest thing was playing along with bands that plays another genres, such as hardcore, thrash... We also played with some great grind bands, the audience was also very great; the moshing and circle pits was insane.

7. Where would you like to act?

We intend, when we release the EP, making a tour outside of our state. But thinking out loud, would be awesome to play at festivals like Obscene Extreme, Warped Tour, Mayhem, Wacken...

8. Whom would you like to feature with?

With great bands of the genre, such as our favorite bands. But would be awesome too play with bands of completely different genres of our, becouse the audience would discover bands that they not usually listen, and not get stuck to one type of music.

9. Whom not?

We think all music is valid and that should not be a segregation of bands.

10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright?Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?

I still suffer sometimes, but as a beginner I suffered much more, and some times could not play the music properly.

Filipe - When I get nervous, I just stare at my guitar, and imagining I am playing alone in my badroom.

Brayan - Just focus on what's doing on stage to do not lose concentration.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Besides our favorites named above: Sonic Youth, Meshuggah, Today Is The Day, Pig Destroyer Xou Da Xuxa and much more.

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?

Alessandro - Well,  we are a new band, we still don’t have many fans, but some day I was talking with some friends about the band, and a woman who was with her daughter asked me if the band would play at a children’s day party.

13. What do you think of your fans?

Brayan - The real fans are the ones who are always present at the shows and encourage us to always keep playing.

Filipe – They are also the ones who makes the concert intense or discouraged.

14. What do you think of our site?

We think this is a great initiative to promote undergrounds bands who need this support to reach new audiences, giving an international visibility and sharing our music to people around the world. We really appreciate it.

15. Something to add?

Thank you for this interview!
