Interviews: Desource

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Progressive Metalcore band, Desource, from Italy. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

First, we were called MY SWEET NIGHTMARE when we were just kids, then we came up with DESOURCE after I (Edoardo) came up with THE SOURCE, which means God. The name was invented by me and Jack (2nd lead guitarist) and it means that everything comes, speaks and returns to the "source", meaning God. The "De" is coming from Latin Language.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

We don't have a specific genre right now, we like to experiment very much into our songs, as you can listen by the first singles that came out recently. We want to play with that has both "brain" and "heart", meaning both the technical side and the heartfelt riffs and melodies. I believe we have a great balance.

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

Yes of course, we are all long time friends.

4. Each band member favourite band?

Flavio, the bassist, loves technical death metal bands such as Cytotoxin, Hate, Behemoth, Archspire; Iuri loves both Pop music such as Damien Rice and Jeff Buckley, Jack loves basically everything which is clever and heavy such as Meshuggah and SiKth, while my top 3 favorite bands now are Tool, Periphery and Abiogenesis.
