Interview with Blackult done by Patrick
1.Hails please introduce yourselves to the readers?
Nebulah: Hail Underground Maniacs!
2.When did you first start listening to black metal music and who were the first bands you discovered?Who are some of your current favorite bands?
Nebulah: I first started listening to metal when I was 16 years old and I started following black metal the first time I discovered Dimmu Borgir, 1349, Emperor, Marduk, Immortal. Then I fell into the underground and learned more about Black Metal and started listening to Bathory, Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, etc... but right now i like Judas Iscariot, Kampfar, Satanic Warmarster, Nargaroth, Arckanum… and our compatriots Narbeleth and Ancestor.
3.When did you two first meet each other and was it long before you started Blackult? Who would you say are the bands biggest influences?
Nebulah: We knew each other from childhood and started listening to metal the same year (2006) and we created Blackult and attempted to create a thrash metal band in 2012. Our influences are from the true spirit of Black Metal and Ancestor debut album “Hell Fuckin´ Metal” (2008). We picked the Blackult name from the first track of that album. And Narbeleth was a major influence being it was best and most important cuban Black Metal band.
4.Our Kind is the bands debut release featuring the Black Metal Army demo and the Below Enchant Moon EP. when did you first come in contact with Crushing Notes Entertainment?
Nebulah: in 2016 I saw a post a of Crushing Notes Ent. on the internet, they wanted some Latin-American bands to sign on the label. I sent a demo from my personal project Hexed and they liked it but a demo not was enough. So I sent the Blackut albums and then we signed for a compilation album and “Our Kind” CD. This was very slow because in 2016 I was going through a lot of personals problems, but finally we released the album.
5.Have you all started writing new material for the next release? How long does it usually take to complete one song?
Nebulah: In 2019 we will start writing new material. We have some tracks but nothing set in stone. Writing black metal riffs for me is very easy and when I write a riff I send to Necromancer, because he lives in Spain, so the process is very slow because the internet in Cuba is very expensive.
6.Besides the “Our Kind” debut does the band have any other merchandise currently availible? If yes what is availible and where can the readers buy it?
Nebulah: Everything is available at www.crushingnotes.com. Only the album is on sale right now but the label will be releasing some t-shirts, stay alert!
7. I know Blackult is a two man band would you like to find more members to make a full line up to play some live shows or do you prefer working in the studio?
Nebulah: When we are in studio we have a full band and we intend to play live with a full band, but Necromancer lives in Spain, so for that reason Blackult doesn’t perform full time on the road. When Necromancer comes to Cuba, of course we will play and we try to find a drummer for Blackult live shows, but not a full time member.
8.If you had the opportunity to work with any musicians who would you like to work with?
Nebulah: With Lord Dakkar from Narbeleth in a split album that would be awesome!
9.What does black metal mean to you two?
Nebulah: My life, my path to walk in this world!
10.Besides working in Blackult do either of you work with any other bands or solo projects?If yes please tell the readers a little about them?
Nebulah: I have a one man project called Hexed still being raw black metal like Blackult, but it is very different in lyrics and sound. I play in Spermask a porn groovy gore band and recently I started playing rhythm guitar in a death melodic band called Dark Mill.
11. Thank you for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?
Nebulah: Thanks for the interview and thanks to the black metal horde to find our music and support! This 2019 Blackult will be more active we stay in the shadows a lot of time! HAIL BLACK METAL! FOR THE GLORY OF THE FUCKIN´ UNDERGROUND!
