1.Hails Henrique . please introduce yourself to the readers?
Hails Patrick!! thank all the evil entities that are present in this web-zine Violent Demise.
2.When did you first become interested in writing and playing music? What are the instruments that you currently play?
I started to be interested in playing in 2017 but only in 2018 I started playing guitar in a Black/Thrash band when the entities Hellfire and Hellbütcher invited me to play in Infernal Attack, but only at the beginning of 2020 I started my first solo project Satanic Command. I currently play guitar, bass, keyboard and drums.
3.Are you self taught or did you take some lessons when first starting out? Are their any instruments that you currently do not play but would like to learn one day?
I started playing guitar in 2018 I never took lessons or anything like that, whenever I wanted to play I just took some reference song and tried to follow along, I remember that the first riff I managed to do was Burzum - (Ea, Lord of the Depths) so it was with the other instruments I play nowadays, I just follow the instinct and try to feel the instruments in my soul. I would like to learn to play several instruments someday like violin, flute, piano among others that express all the feelings I want to spread.
4..Henrique you also handle the vocals for the band when did you first become interested in screaming and growling?Do you do anything special to keep your throat and voice healthy?
I started with vocals for the first time in 2020 at Satanic Command at first it was a little difficult as I had never sung anything before, but all my vocals are recorded when I'm a little drunk it helps me scream without fear and of course Alcohol is the best way to do this.
5.Who some of your all-time favorite musicians and vocalists over the years?
That would surely be B.S.o.D. (Grausamkeit), Azgorh (Drowning the Light), Werwolf (Satanic Warmaster), Meyhna'ch (Mütiilation) and War Torech (Torturium).
6.Henrique you started Satanic Command in 2020 what gave you the idea to start this band?
At first I played with Infernal Attack around 2018 to 2020 it was a very good band but I felt I should do something by myself where I could better explain myself about Black Metal.
7.For the readers who have never heard Satanic Command's music how would you best describe it?Who would you say are the bands biggest influences?
Listening to the Satanic Command is like imagining a cauldron with various Black Metal ingredients such as Horna, Sargeist, Cruor Cultum, Dark Funeral, Satanic Warmaster among other evil entities.
8.I believe you are the sole member of the band did you plan to work alone or would you like to find more musicians to work with in order to do some live shows one day?
At the moment I believe that the Satanic Command will just be a one-man band, maybe in the future I might be playing with new entities at shows, but at the moment I don't think about it that much.
9.Cult Of The Beast's Blood is the debut release how long did it take you to write the music for the debut?
it took me around a month to do it myself, the vocals were a bit tricky to do because i didn't have a mic so i did it with a low quality headphone but i liked the result, i recorded this full album all in My house and I still record and mix everything on my own I never recorded anything in studios.
10.Where do you draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some topics written about on the debut release?
My inspiration for the lyrics is the rebelliousness and hate that I see around the world! in Satanic Command I talk a lot about this kind of rebellion about the rotten christians that crawl on this earth with their oppressive laws, I really like the tracks (Cult of the Beast's Blood) and (My Master of Darkness) I talk a lot about the hate I have upon them is an army of shadows that will trample them until their last breath.
11.Besides the Cult Of The Beast's Blood release you have some demo's and EP's out are these still availible for the readers to purchase?Besides physical releases do you currently have any other merchandise for the readers to purchase if yes what is availible and where can the readers purchse it?
Yes, the two demos Satanic Command, Satanic Lunatic Terrorist and the EP The Black Devastation are available but only in digital format on Bandcamp.
12.What does Black Metal mean to you?
Black Metal for me has always been and always will be not only a genre, but also a philosophy of life, a means of expression for minds tired of being tied to social currents, a way to communicate with other entities that share the same ideals, where the sound takes you to a distant and dark place, for me Black Metal will always be my refuge where I can be.
13.Do you currently work with any other bands or solo projects?If yes please tell the readers a little about them?
Yes, I have other projects that share different ideas, I think the human mind shares with many characters that exist in their minds, thinking about that I create projects where I can express myself in different ways, for each character that exists in my head I would like to create one project that talks about these ideas. at the moment I have three solo projects Satanic Command, Melancholy of Evil, Ocutos and Vampire Lord.
14.Henrique you come out of Brazil's Black Metal scene what is your opinion of the scene in Brazil over the years?
The Brazilian Black Metal scene is one of my favorites, the desire to play and spread the plague grows more and more around here! there are bands over 25 years old that have been active since the beginning, and after this pandemic the number of Black Metal bands grew even more, not only in Brazil but also around the world, I see older people who are putting together new projects and new ideas to always be closer to Black Metal.
15.Who are your all-time favorite bands coming out of Brazil and are their new bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
Cruor Cultum is certainly one of the best bands in Brazil for me, their icy riffs that make you want to exist just to spread chaos. Hecate is another band that makes me wonder how magical pagan Black Metal can be. If I were to recommend some new bands that I've been listening to in the last few days, it would definitely be Profanatic Lust, a band of my brother Hellbütcher that I had the honor of accompanying all the tragetoria, Flesh of Tituba UK a band of my friend
Acwulf Atchame, Varw from Australia and Lamp of Murmuur USA.
