Jacaranda is for music lovers of any genre. Period. It’s astonishing, haunting, passionate, powerful, and an experience that transcends any expectations.” SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

It was 2007 that kicked started the musical career of Ohio metallers Miss May I with that they went on to get signed to Rise Records releasing two full-lengths having their song “Forgive and Forget” being featured on the Saw VI Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is what really pushed them to the fore front of the music scene. But with that they went on to do an extensive amount of tours and of course write and record for what would be their upcoming third full-length release titled “At Heart”. Frontman vocalist Levi Benton spoke to me to discuss the band’s upcoming release the band’s all new logo and symbol that will represent them from here on out along with more hidden surprises you will only find out right here, right now.

All Access Magazine (AAM)  So it looks like Miss May I has a lot of NEW things coming up, a new album, new logo, and new symbol, can you tell me about all of this?

Levi: We wanted a new logo because we thought it was about that time to have an official one because we were going to have one change with each album but we wanted something that would last forever. The symbol represents who we are and it’s always been the lion come with us and with this new symbol it has 5 points and 7 little teeth because we got together in 2007 so it’s cool that a lot have people have been catching on and tattooing it really cool.

AAM How has the band’s sound evolved from Monument to At Heart?

Levi: It’s a lot more real and passion behind it because that’s why we went with calling it At Heart and we wanted people to be able to relate to it because everything about it comes from us and our hearts.

AAM. What inspired the album title? Is it a concept album?

Levi: Well it’s not really a concept I don’t know we named it At Heart because its stuff we never really wanted to sing about because we thought it was too deep, but we wanted the stuff to be real and from the heart on this album; whether it’s a messed up song or not its stuff that really happened and came from our hearts.

AAM You worked with producer Machine what was that experience like?

Levi: Oh it was awesome he pushed us really hard to be a better band and we became a better band and he’s all about live stuff and he’s all about emotion and makes sure the listener can feel and relate.

AAM How would you say that the writing process has differed in the lyrical department on this release?

Levi: It was our first time we got to do pre-production so we got to sit down and write the CD and listen to it and be able to change things and see if this worked or this was dumb so we never got to do this before so Machine knew all about pre-production so we went with it.

AAM. What about the album artwork and track-listing is there a date set for when those will be revealed?

Levi: The album artwork will be released tomorrow so when you see it it’s us speaking from the heart and us being from a kid to a grown-up is just coming from the heart.

AAM. What are your expectations for the CD?

Levi: Hoping it’s a good album from front to back it’s the first album that I’m really proud of all the other CDs and songs I wasn’t really excited about, but this CD I’m really excited about front to back hoping that it’s a good album through and through for kids so that’s my biggest expectation.

AAM. Will there be pre-orders available for this album?

Levi: Yes not sure when but it will be soon.

AAM. When can we expect the first single to be released?

Levi: In a couple of weeks and comes with a video too so a lot of little surprises going on.

AAM. You guys are currently on tour with Whitechapel and After The Burial then next month you’re going to Europe and then returning to the states in May, you guys are just going to be all over the place aren’t you?

Levi: Yeah we’re always on tour, we haven’t done Japan yet but I heard we’re going there this summer, with South East Asia and all of that so rocking that this summer.

AAM Have you been road testing any of the new material? If so, how have audiences reacted to the new material?

Levi: Yeah we’ve been playing our first single called “Hey Mister”on the new tour and it’s actually pretty crazy because usually with the new songs the kids would just listen but they’re really getting crazier with the new material that they don’t even know the words to yet but I’m excited for them to hear it when it’s finished.

AAM What else can we expect from you guys in 2012?

Levi: Actually in a few days we got a big announcement and got plans this summer and new record and touring non-stop so should be good. We got new management so we get to be the metal band we’ve always wanted to be.

AAM. Anything else you’d like to say or promote?

Levi: Our biggest slogan is “Stay Metal” that’s my biggest one.

Cadaveria formed in 2001 soon after they rounded up the musicians they knew would suit their band’s musical style and inspiration which lead them to release several releases, tour, and of course write and record even more. Now that a new era is upon them a fourth album is spreading faster than the plague itself and it is called “Horror Metal” the all new beginning to an all new realm of horror and darkness known only as Cadaveria! Frontwomen Cadaveria herself spoke to me about the band’s latest achievement and what was said about the process of it and where the band will be throughout this current time and year.

All Access Magazine (AAM) Where did a name like Cadaveria come from?

Cadaveria: My nickname testifies my love for all what is obscure and unknown and my attraction to what is forbidden.

AAM: What can you tell me about your latest release Horror Metal?

Cadaveria: It was released on January 31st 2012 on Bakerteam Records and we are very excited on how it has been welcomed by fans and critics. Feedback is 100% positive and we must agree with this, as we think Horror Metal is the best album we have ever released. The album features eleven brand new songs composed along the past years and recorded during 2010. We have been in the recording studios for a long time, since we have produced the album by ourselves, caring about all aspects. In 2011, after a premix, we entered the studios again to add some keyboards parts and to re-record some vocal parts I didn’t like. Finally, after a long mastering, the album is now in stores, ready to kill.

AAM. Why did you want to name your album that and what does it symbolize?

Cadaveria: Since our first release The Shadows’ Madame, people have always defined our style as Horror Metal This time we thought no other words could better describe the evil and horror atmosphere you can breathe by listening to this album. So in this case Horror Metal represents more a mood than a genre, dealing with the cryptic sensations coming from these new songs.

AAM What’s the music scene like in Italy are there any band’s you’d recommend?

Cadaveria: I don’t follow the scene so much and I don’t know if there is any rising star in the Italian underground. Our panorama is still “monopolized” by historic bands like Necrodeath, Sadist, CADAVERIA, Death SS, and Lacuna Coil. I hope some young talent will be able to break the schemes, otherwise in ten years the Italian scene will be dead.

AAM. When did you get signed to Bakerteam Records and what was running through your mind when you got signed?

Cadaveria: After the experience with Season of Mist, that released our third album In Your Blood, we were looking for a label that had the right enthusiasm to promote our new album in the proper way. Bakerteam is a division of Scarlet Records, for which our first two albums were released; we already knew the guys working in it, so it has been like a return to home. Together with Worm Hole Death, our publisher, they are doing the work we were expecting.

AAM. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)

Cadaveria: Basically the lyrics deal with personal experiences, dreams and nightmares and sometimes take inspiration from literature, cinema (“Apocalypse” lyrics is the transcription of a monologue from Mel Gibson’s movie Apocalypto) or art in general. I write about sensations, state of mind, fears, wishes… Dark and sad lyrics sometimes enlightened by flashes of the unexpected. I often speak about death, but I also think about life, inner force, pride, energy, desires and pleasures. The places inspiring our lyrics are plunged into fog. They are the places where we I live, the places that influence what I am and what I write.

AAM. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)

Cadaveria: I continually take note of things I’m interested in. When it is time to start composing a new album I reorganize these notes in a lyric and so, lyrically, a new song is born. Dick Laurent, our new guitar player, wrote the most part of the riffs for Horror Metal. The first work we always do when we meet each other in the rehearsal room is to fix which lyrics better suit with the musical parts. Then we build the songs structure, choose the rhythm and so on… After a pre-production we usually revisit the tracks, changing melodies, adding arrangements and guitar harmonization’s.

AAM. Who are your musical influences?

Cadaveria: The band’s members have a different musical background that crosses from the Seventies Hard Rock to Black Metal. Our music is the result of these variegated musical tastes. Horror Metal is full of influences coming from Death Metal, Black Metal, Gothic and Heavy Metal in general, passing through Black Sabbath and the Eighties New Wave…

AAM. How do you describe your music to people?

Cadaveria: Well, finally we too can use this definition: Horror Metal, of course! A personal mix of extreme Metal music, spiced with ghosts, darkness and zombies coming from cemeteries. It’s a cry of forbidden passions and terrible anguishes.

AAM What image do you think your music conveys?

 Cadaveria: Our music communicated emotions, power, elegance and precision. Close your eyes and you will see crows in the fog, stale blood, wild beasts, wind and fire. Pump up the volume and let yourself be enraptured by fear!

AAM. How about touring when will you guys be hitting the road and will you be making your way to the U.S.?

 Cadaveria: We are playing some live dates in Italy and we are receiving offers to play abroad in Europe this autumn. Unfortunately to tour the US is still a far hypothesis.

AAM. What is one thing everyone should know about Cadaveria?

Cadaveria: I would like everyone know our new album entitled Horror Metal is out now! You can get it in your local music stores or directly on www.cadaveria.com/. Follow us on www.facebook.com/cadaveria for any update. Thanks a lot!
