Interviews: Ciemra

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Black Metal band, Ciemra from Belarus. 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? 

The name came by itself when we were listening to the first demos, we wanted to unite all of our creativity with one clear and understandable word that would reflect what we believe in. At the same time to keep our roots and our native language. That's how we got the transcription of the word "Цемра", which means Darkness.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

There has never been a question of what genre we want to play in. Nothing but Black Metal is able to express our condition and our path. Black Metal is exactly that poetic, beautiful, mesmerizing, frightening, and unacceptable genre to many. Perfect.

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

We knew some of the members shortly before the formation of the band, but for the most part, everything happened spontaneously. There was this feedback, this synergy between us that simply can't be broken by anything.
