Band: Andonis Angelos
Genre: Experimental / Deathcore
Q: Where does the band name "Andonis Angelos" come from?
The
name of the band, Andonis Angelos, is just my name. Exactly, a Greek
traduction of my name. I choosed this name when I started to do cover
and songs on YouTube, because I was alone and because I'm really into
Hellenism/Greek mythology and these kind of things.
Q: You are signed to Wild Ruins Creations currently, how is the experience being signed to them?
Wild
Ruins Creations have been started by my mate of A.M.V.G, Saint Karnel.
For the moment, we aren't too big. The only bands signed on Wild Ruins
Creations are A.M.V.G, an alternative and experimental Black Metal band
(and I'm vocalist in this band since 2013), Andonis Angelos and Le
Requiem De Candide (the project of Saint Karnel). He also have some
other artistic project who are related to Wild Ruins Creations. It's not
limited to a genre or to music only, WRC is a way to unite artist who
have a similar vision of art.
Q: You combine many different elements of music
into your own music. Why did you choose this route instead of sticking
to one genre?
I choose to combine
different genres of music because I'm fan of a lot of styles. My main
styles are Deathcore, Progressive Metal, Black Metal and (real)
Post-Hardcore (not the scenecore stuffs), but I also like Slam Death,
Progressive Rock or Hardcore Punk, so, I want to create a music who
looks like me. And I also don't want to be limited to one genre.
Q: You're a one-man band, why did you choose this instead of the traditional band set up?
It wasn't my choice, I guess. I haven't find any musicians yet. And originally, Andonis Angelos wasn't really a band but just a
way to have fun and to show what my vocals sound like to my friends. A
way to find a band, maybe. Anyways, I didn't find a band or musicians,
so I decided to make Andonis Angelos "my band" and to work only with
guest (because I don't have the correct material to do drums, guitars,
bass and synth myself). I hope that this project will grow again, so I
will be able to make it a real band, with a traditionnal line-up.
Anyways, for now, I also work with A.M.V.G and maybe I'll have a chance
to work with Enceladus (a little German Djent band) in the future (I
already recorded a demo song who's available on my SoundCloud).
Q: What bands play an influence on your music the most?
The
band who influenced me the most are Suicide Silence, Chelsea Grin,
Whitechapel, All Shall Perish, Carnifex, Despised Icon, Born Of Osiris,
Job For A Cowboy, Waking The Cadaver, Dyscarnate, Dying Fetus, Heaven
Shall Burn and (early) Bring Me The Horizon. But I've been influenced
before by bands such as Glassjaw, Deftones, Meshuggah, Eths, Pink Floyd,
Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Terror, Caliban, Cannibal Corpse or
Slipknot who decided me to start music. And I have a lot more other
influences, naming all the bands would be impossible !
My main favourite vocalist are Mitch Lucker (Suicide Silence) and Phil Bozeman (Whitechapel). These two Men influenced me a lot.
Q: What are your goals for the rest of this year?
My
objective for this year : firstly, I want to finish to record the
vocals for "Ad Majorem Vermium Gloriam" (first EP of A.M.V.G) and in
second position, I want to record some more demo for Andonis Angelos. I
planed to record a first EP for Andonis Angelos, named "Narasimha", but
for now, this project is sleeping.
I would like
to thanks all the people who will take the time to listen to Andonis
Angelos. I would like to thanks more the people who will write messages
to me, to say what they think about it, etc... don't forget that you can
download my first demo (the links is in my Facebook page) and that you
can download few songs on SoundCloud (it's all free !).
