Perventor. Interview with Noire Perventor

Interview by Jay Parker

1. Tell us about Perventor? Where and when was it formed? Who are the members of the band?

A: Greetings, brother, to you and to the readers, thanks for the support and the space, the project was formed in mid 2008, since the beginning of the band, I have been in charge of the recording and production because Barrancabermeja, unfortunately, was very difficult to do metal and above all everything to find people with whom, I tell you that there were not even rehearsals I remember that we had two Thrash bands I participated in one and another of Heavy and well we had to lend things and houses to rehearse hahaha good time, but to do Black Metal the thing was different there were very few people interested and with respect for the genre to do something serious, so inspired by various characters out there and having the ability to play various instruments I decided to give shape to the project by setting up a small home studio reading here and there and over time I began to record by myself, the first demo came out until more or less half of 2010, the following years followed two more demos and an EP whose copies were very limited and rather thought to rotate between my circle of trust and sister bands until 2016 when the first full ‘’V in Abhorrence of light’’ came to light with the support of Depressive illusions Recs from Ukraine.

2. Tell us about your discography...

A: Well after the full in 2016 that same year I made an alliance with Deathwinter from Australia which resulted in a Split of 8 songs which was called ‘’Abysmal Infernal Allegiance’’ followed by that for 2017 the second full came out ‘’VI The dissolution of being’’ a quite personal album by the way and for 2018 it was followed by a Split with two other projects that I carried in parallel at the time, Rites of Death with Misth (Ultradeath and Barbarie) on drums, the which was also Black Metal and VII a raw Death Metal project in which I participated taking charge of the recording of the first demo, that same year more or less for December Depressive Illusions also published the 3rd full lenght so far ‘’Satanic Exaltations of Corrosive Hate’’ which was followed in 2019 by a 4 track EP which I actually really like I must say called ‘’Worshiping Evil Presences’’.

3. describe your music in 5 words...

You know here between us, I always feel that I leave something of myself reflected when I produce a song, especially in the guitar riffs, sometimes if I pay attention I can remember things that I had even forgotten and remember what I was living or what I felt when I was composing and yes I know I extended myself with a simple question hahaha but then answering, I would say that he has a lot of anger, remorse and sadness with blasphemy and resentment towards God.

4. What is the inspiration behind the sound and the lyrics?

Life dear brother, nothing more than that, the perception we have of ourselves in this existential plane, what we came for and where we are going, the rejection of the Judeo-Christian dogma, the thin line that delimits what is real, the fragility of being human not only before something as inevitable and ineffable as death, but also before the perception of concepts such as the ego, reason, madness and the psychological deterioration to which man can succumb when facing his reality.

5. Why did you decide to play Black Metal?

Black Metal is something that I have always carried with me, I would not say that it is something that I decided, if not something that was given to me, I do not know how to explain it, there was something in the message, in the sound in what it represented and represents today, that made me get into it so much, that when I realized it I noticed that my whole life revolved around it, perhaps feeling identified in the different aspects of what it is supposed to represent when it came into my life, in fact I remember that I was very young and I was already playing in one or another local weekend band and well, talking to the older ones, with people who were passing through for whatever reason, I met people who had respect for the genre and were already in the habit of buying music, that’s how I met Azaghal, Horna, Gorgoroth and Hellhammer, obvious ly Burzum and Mayhem, Immortal, Bathory, Dissection, Windir, Von, Beherit, Marduk and things like that and well from then on everything was a new world and a new and different way of seeing the Metal thing that I am very grateful to those cuchos hahaha greeting s to them by the way.

6. Tell us about the Black Metal scene in Colombia... recommend some Creole bands for our readers...

A: Guerrero where I am currently eradicated which is Giron, Santander, I can tell you about Satanic Supremacy and the previous band of the guitarist Old Betrayer, from the south that is hitting hard right now Diabolical Moon, Caina, Niah and Dantalian, the old Misanthrope from Bogota, Necrario, Esbbat who started in Cali, from Valle Imprekator, Necrobutcher who chimba that shit, from the paisas I like Maleficarum, Black Ceremony, Infernal, Oscuridad, Espectrum, what Kult of Eblis did too, I liked it when I saw them live, Lamentations of the coast I like to listen to Excommunication and Abaddon for example.

7. What plans do you have for the future with Perventor?

A: Well, right now I’m recording what would be the next full length, well actually I’ve been working on it since the beginning of 2020 I’m already finishing it, I think it’s been the one that has taken me the most time and difficulty, mostly because many things changed, in those days I moved, the shit of the pandemic, work etc. anyway, a lot of madness but well, the idea is that it be ready to be pressed and distributed next year I still don’t know what label I’ll do it with, too I’m considering the idea of doing it independently, I haven’t looked at the options yet, I’m also putting together material to play live with a couple of mates on drums and bass. In any case, I think I’ve reached a point where I already want to to focus is to move the band live more.

8. What is your favorite album of all time and why?

A: That’s hard, I couldn’t decide on just one, mmm I would say The Somberlain by Dissection but also Those of the Unlight by Marduk and Satanic Black Devotion by Sargeist, I think if they gave me 3 albums to choose from to sit down and drink I would ask for those 3.

9. How do you see the new sub-genres of Black? How do you see its evolution in the coming years?

A: Anything less than Christian metal is going to be well received by me and has my full support hahaha, I’m not serious, I’m not very radical in that sense, in fact when listening to new things if I find influences from Black Metal I lend it more attention, the music changes you know? Evolve if you want to keep your old school and classic sound that is very good there are bands that work for them and that is their sound point for example Darkthrone which is one of my favorites, there are people who do metal because they like to do metal in x way y sound in x way, period and there is another one who likes to do metal and they are also good musicians and well that leads them to experiment, it is something normal, one simply buys and listens and plays, which moves one.

10. What bands did you listen to growing up in Colombia? What bands do you listen to today?

A: I grew up listening to Gorgoroth hahaha and Marduk but not everything was Black Metal so, I’m addicted to this Acid band from Belgium, I listen to a lot of Misfits and Maiden too, I still usually listen to them, nowadays things haven’t changed much except the works new ones by Sargeist and Horna, Inquisition I guess, I still like to drink while listening to Thrash, but let’s say when it comes to looking for new things the truth is that I’m more aware today of national metal and things like that, Latin bands or the bands of my friends.

11. If you could play with a band or musician, alive or dead, who would you choose and why?

A: Alive, Mr. Roger Tiegs ‘’Infernus’’, Dead, Jon Nodveitd, the experience, the way of composing the guitars.

12- Do you have any advice for young musicians who are reading?

A: ehhh well yes, invest in a good guitar pedal, whether you like analog or multi-effects, that’s essential don’t skimp on that, for creatives who want to record, buy a good audio interface I use a Focusrite 2i2 but the Behringer are also good, if you are just starting out or you are alone, a simple one with one entrance will be enough, work hard and invest in the band that sooner or later it returns and more than that, let them be your own critics and do not live on what others think about their projects, both for better and for worse, because flattery also makes one lose the north that the life of the metalhead is very cool, rehearsal and party every Saturday foto pa’ face on insta, but if they don’t go beyond being there always and they never record or produce, in the end they are not doing anything so they make themselves known in all the bars because of noise and appearances a band is not sustained and every day a bu band is born ena with a new proposal that if you are looking for and if you are interested in leaving a legacy on the scene, and finally, don’t let your asses damage your bands, or your events hahahaha, greetings!

13. Do you want to say something else to our readers?

I want to thank you for taking the time and getting to this point and I want to invite you to support National Metal, greetings and always firm!
