It Came From Beneath - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Deathcore band It Came From Beneath from France, so here you can see and give a like to his 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?  

Julien (drums): It was inspired by a movie called "It Came From Beneath The Sea". I'm a huge fan of old sci-fi/horror movies

2.Why did you want to play this genre?  

We all like many different genres of metal to harcore music from At The Gates to Four Years Strong.

I think deathcore is just the kind of music we all agree on. Now, we're just trying to do our own recipe of music without caring about the specific genre we want to be classified in.

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

There have been many changes in the line-up from the beginning of the band in 2010. Every new member has been recruited on classified ad. Only Nico (bassist) and Etienne (guitarist) knew each other from a previous band.

4. Each band member favourite band?    

Leo (vocals): I can't really say I have a favorite band but if I had to pick three it'd be The Acacia strain , Oceano and Whitechapel

Julien: Aversions crown, Thy art is murder, August burns red

Nico (bass): Down To Nothing, Comeback Kid and No Trigger

Alexis (guitar): At the gates, Fit For An Autopsy, Architects

Etn (guitar): It is hard for me to pick one band, I enjoy listening to too much bands. Lately I have been hooked on Fit For An Autopsy, Aversions Crown, Oceano, Soen and Rishloo.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?  

Musically we don't search for a specific idea when composing. Usually we try to follow our inspiration and develop a specfic atmosphere on a whole song.

6. Where was your last gig?  

Our last gig was at Why Not Fest. A great festival in the center of France with many cool bands.

7. Where would you like to act?  

Alexis: Royal Albert Hall!! To watch an insane circle pit there would be perfect

Julien: Groezrock

8. Whom would you like to feature with?  

Etn: Alex Terrible would be cool (Dat voice!).   Julien: A symphonic orchestra would be totally amazing

9. Whom not?  

Alexis: Kanye West   Etn: Can we skip the question, my list is too long because I'm a hater :)

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

Alexis: Playing in front of our friends is always a bit weird, but after a few minutes on stage you forget about this   Nico: My first gig, in my hometown. I drinked a beer straight as possible, grab my bass and rock !

Etn: I think its very natural to suffer from stagefright. Just try to be confident because playing sloppy on stage happens and that's how it is! Rock on!

Julien: I struggled for years with it and I got over it realising that when I'm on stage I'm surrounded by my friends (my band bros) and I try to focus on one specific person in the crowd that seems to be really into our show

11. What bands have inspired you the most?    

Alexis: Architects for their professionalism, the dillinger escape plan for the energy they put in their insane shows

Julien: Metallica for Sure   Etn: Kanye West (not!)

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

Alexis: It was more about a weird situation: In our last tour in Russia, after a show, a guy asked us to join him at his table.   He started to offer us some gifts and ordered some expensive alcool.   We stayed there a couple of hours then when we left, we asked the manager who was this guy and he told us: He's the boss of all the police department in this city!

Julien: At one gig in Russia a guy asked me to french kiss his girlfriend in front of him. WTF!!! I did it. You can never disappoint a fan.

13. What do you think of your fans?    

Alexis: It's always a great thing to spend some time with them before and after the show

Nico: They are very nice ! They share our news, take pictures of our shows, share their feeling about us...

Julien: They give us the strength to improve and get better as a band. We give the best of us on stage for them

Etn: We have the chance to have a few people following the band from the beginning. How cool is that?

14. What do you think of our site?    

Etn: It's really great to have sites like yours supporting the scene but more specifically European bands. Let's show the world what how we roll here!

15. Something to add?

We have a lot of good things coming this year, don't forget to check our facebook and watch our new video "The Last Sun" from our EP to be released next september
