Interviews: Hell:On

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the  Death Metal band, Hell:On, from Ukraine. 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?

Originally it was Hellion, but than we found out that band with such name was already existed. So we changed it to Hell:on. And actually it fits our music and philosophy the most.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

I guess music it is not just what want you want to play, it is more likely things that you can open through you, if you know what I mean. We just found our proper way to release our internal demons, that’s all.

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

Sure, we even played in the same bands once.. but finally the stars came out in a right position in 2005.

4. Each band member favorite band?

I cannot tell from the side of everybody from the band, but most likely we all love old school thrash like Metallica (early days), Megadeth, Slayer, Sepultura. Of course we love death metal bands like: Morbid Angel, Rotting Christ, Nile etc.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Everything inspire us a lot. All things happening around. The world itself.

6. Where was your last gig?

Before quarantine we played small tour around Germany. Last show was in the end of 2019 in Ukraine, in Kyiv we were nominated as Best Ukrainian metal act of the year.

7. Where would you like to act?

Everywhere where live people who like death metal. Usually we play in Germany, Poland, Czech. Of course we would like to spread our music world wide, not only in small part of Europe.

8. Whom would you like to feature with?

Actually, we used to made it already a lot, so as for now – not interesting for us. On the last album we had Andreas Kisser from Sepultura as special guest. And Marek Pajak from Vader before, Jeff Waters from Annihilator as well. But for the next album – all is done and it is only Hell:on.

9. Whom not?

All metalcore pop stars.

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

Hmm... I'm even can not remember when it was.. so, the only cure it is just go and play. More and more. Then you will feel only fun, any fears will gone.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

The last one was Rotting Christ from Greece. We played short tour with them in 2019. It was really cool. Of course the Death of Chuck Schuldiner always will be our inspiration as well. Slayer maybe. Also I like atmosphere of Behemoth creation.

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

Maybe signature in personal passport.. it was really strange. It is official document still.

13. What do you think of your fans?

The same thing as we think about ourselves. It is the same people.

14. What do you think of our site?

You’re on a right way!

15. Something add?

Keep metal alive! Support your local bands. And don't forget to rock’n’roll \m/
