Interview with Cernorog and Dod (Lord Azerath, 25 June 2006)

.

Azerath: Slava, Cernorog! Can you give us a brief history of the band?
Cernorog: Slava! The band was formed at the end of 90’s by Dod and Gamayun /MiroSlav/. In the 2001 we had recorded our first demo ‘...Going Towards The Gates Of Mistery’ then in 2004 our first official release ‘Son O Iriyi’. The line-up passed off some changes, but this isn’t very interesting. Now it contains of 3 people: Cernorog /vox/, Gamayun /guitars/, Dod /battery/.

Azerath: Son O Iriyi (Krv Records, 2005) is your last release, what are your feature plans?  
Cernorog: Well on autumn we prepare 2 gigs in Czech republic. We will record our new album in the nearest future, and we have to find the label for its production. So the main plans...

Azerath: Your lyrics are about slavonic honour, pride and blood but some of them are in english. Why you don’t use your native language in all of them?   
Cernorog: Because of feeling. Some songs sounds better in english, some in slovak.

Azerath: One of my favorite slavonic scenes is Ukrainian. They have good bands such as: Astrofaes, Kroda, Hate Forest, Volhv and so on. What are yours and how strong does they influences your music? 
Cernorog: My favorite ukrainian bands are Nokturnal Mortum, Drudkh, Dub Buk and Hate Forest. I think there’s no influences in our music by this bands. We play very different music than Nokturnal Mortum or Hate Forest. Well there was some opinions our music is like Astrofaes, but I don’t think so. We don’t play music to resemble our idols or bands we like. We have own ideas and own music.

Azerath: How do you see your local Black Metal scene. Something about your side projects?
Cernorog: There’s no scene in Slovakia. There are some bands but no scene. Projects? Chrobacny Jezisko was provocative antichristian death metal, Aries was raw black metal and Mystical Nightcharm – melodic metal. None of these projects exists til now. It’s the past we have to look to the future.

Azerath: What have been some of your highlights in a live setting?  
Dod
: Participation at Metal Head Mission Festival at Crymea, UA in 2005, and Tour with Arkona (RUS) in Slovakia at June 2006. Great great concerts!!!

Azerath: Tell us something more about your interests? Mythology, history or whatever else.   
Dod: We are interested in our Slavic mythology of course, as all true Slavs and we want to pass the knowledge gathered for ages by our ancestors to next generations, at least by music we produce and by our ideas concerned there... And as well we would be glad if all the Slavs got united by heart...

Azerath: Are you interested in politics?  
Cernorog: No. I’m not. I know better ways to waste my energy...

Azerath: Do you know something about Bulgaria?
Cernorog: Yes, of course... Artmedia lost its match with Levski Sofia in UEFA Cup haha. Bulgaria is well-known here in Slovakia. Our people are coming there for their holiday. I have never been in Bulgaria but I hope it will be possible to play some gigs for bulgarian fans.

Azerath: That's all, thank you for the interview. Your last words?
Cernorog: Slava brothers!!! Dod: NA SLAVU RODU!!! NA SLAVU PERUNU!!! NA SLAVU BOGOM NASHIM!!!! I LYUBITE SVOJU ZEMLU!!!
