Dmitry i. (Freakangel / Suicidal Romance)

Ready to start? Where are you at the moment and how are you doing?
Well... I'm at work right now... selling videogames. I'm really into gaming so working in a place like this I won't even consider calling work... but still I need some extra money so that's why I'm here. I think, that music business is dying and it's dying pretty fast. Big bands like VNV or CombiChrist are getting bigger and bigger and small bands just stay... uhm... small. It looks like those are main rules for today's musical economy. So yeah, sure... why you need to support small bands if you can just rip them off and prevent them for growing bigger...
What kind of person are you?
I think that I'm pretty easy going and kinky, flirty and bitchy, but boring... as at the same time I'm a very home person and it is pretty hard to see me somewhere partying unless I'm somehow connected to this party. I prefer to sit at home and play videogames or write music. That's just me. Boring, I know.
You gain satisfaction in music because...?
...because I have ears? For me it's like testing wine or even food... sometimes it is nothing special and you have to skip it, but mostly it is something very satisfying and you can't take your attention from it. I was always addicted to the music even if my father wanted me to be a football player right from the childhood... Can you imagine me playing football or doing any sports at all?
Let's talk about Freakangel and Suicidal Romance...
Actually there is no big history behind any of those bands... It is just me and my needs for expressing my thoughts and my world... If you will take your time and check out first SR's album then it will be pretty easy to hear how young and amateur I was those times... Lyrics are full of cliches and my mind full of gothic themes... well, what can I do, I can't rewrite history... I was young and wanted to have fun. Our new album "Shattered Heart Reflections" which was released via Infacted Recordings, Metropolis and DeathWatch Asia in May is totaly different from what the old SR was. More to say - I'm a totally new person right now with new visions and ideas... I believe that in the future, with every new release there will be a big difference from old works. Same goes for Freakangel... I got older and I have opened my eyes on everything that was happening around so I have decided to create FA to show my protest to social politics that are making me sick. I mean... those are only my ideas and of course you do not need to listen to what I think... but at least I can sleep well as I have tried to tell.
Which are the main differences between both bands?
Lyrical content, I think. Where Suicidal Romance is sweet, Freakangel sicken. Actually, everything is very different. I really hate when people are doing second bands or projects and when listeners can easily guess that this project is by the same guy who have this one and then another one. First of all after finishing "SHR" for SRI wanted to do something different with a totally different approach... that's why we have included guitars to Freakangel and even more things I would never do with Suicidal Romance. FA is all about protest and about showing all the dirt.. If you like kinky porno videos with bdsm themes then you will like Freakangel too... and if you are more into romantic comedies like "Love Actually" or even "Music and Lyrics"... then check out SR. Pretty easy to find the difference, I think.

Freakangel - "The Faults Of Humanity", your new album...
"The Faults Of Humanity" is a collection of the weaknesses and stupidity of the society in which we are living day by day and side by side. We are all braindead to this world and world is dead for us... We don't believe in ourselves but in the lies behind TV screens... We don't love, we have sex on drugs... We sell our fate... We are nothing, but faults, mistakes, errors... delete us!
These messages are very critical. Is this how you see the world around you?
Actually I'm a very positive person and it is pretty hard to make me care... but it looks like I have had enough. First of all I'm really pissed of about how many of us are dominated by religion...
I can tell it million times... Religion and your beliefs are in you and not in sold out priests or so called churches... "Give us Your money and we will forgive all Your sins"... That is just so stupid that makes me smile. They try to teach us to be satisfied with not understanding the world... Second, but still important thing are politics, but I think that there is no need to say anything about them as we all
know what they actually are...
Do you think the listeners will get it?
To be true... I don't care. I think that some will listen and other will not. All I wanted to do is to scream out loud all this hate that I had in me. I did it and I'm satisfied now. I mean, our next release will have different topics for sure.
How long did it take from the first ideas for the album to the final result?
It took us about 6-7 months to finish everything including mixing and mastering.
Which feedback did you get until now?
So far everything is pretty positive. We have a decent 8/10 and I think that it is a great start for a debut!
Do you have any dark secrets you want to tell us about?
Do I need to pay to be forgiven? Or you just want to hear and not to forgive me for being such a naughty person? Once... when I was much younger and crazier I have put a guestbook in the church on fire. That was beautiful. Hallelujah, motherfuckers.
Your biggest nightmare is...?
I'm my biggest nightmare. Sometimes I'm really afraid of myself... that I might lose control or smth.
What was the craziest thing you have ever done?
That's a hard question to answer. I think, that I haven't done anything crazy enough in my life. I have done lots of strange things, but then again, it is just me and my kinky mind that doesn't want to consider anything that I have done as a crazy thing. Maybe for some people it would be crazy and another ones would call me a pussy. So I actually really don't know what to tell you here...
What's the best advice you have ever got in your life?
Normally people are telling me that I need to grow up. But what is wrong with them? By growing up they mean that I need to get a family and at least five children. I won't consider it as a best advice but I'm just shocked about our today's society that want us to be exactly as they are... zombies.
... the biggest compliment?
I'm pretty good in kissing female feet. Girls really like it... and they like to give me compliments about it :)
... one historical event you would like to be part of it?
Nope, nothing comes to mind... Maybe it is because I like to live by day buy day without looking back to the past. What for we need to look into something that we can't change if we can build our own future right here.
Neuweltmusic Music Check :)
What kind of music do you listen to:
- when driving
I don't have a car.
- in the kitchen (while cooking)
Oh I like to cook, so normally I just play smth old like Alice Cooper or Mötley Crüe...
- while chilling-out?
ORE or Shpongle...
- at parties?
Depends on what they are playing... I can't choose unless I'm a DJ.
- while having sex?
I like girls to moan and scream as loud as they can... so that would be my music for having sex ;)
... your future plans:
I'm working on new tracks for Freakangel, doing some remixes and pretty soon we will be doing a videoclip for Freakangel's "My Darling Bullet"...
What else (beside the release of the new album) can we expect this year?
Actually, it looks that You have got something wrong as both bands have already released new albums... Suicidal Romance in may with "Shattered Heart Reflections" and Freakangel in june with "The Faults Of Humanity". Except that there won't be happening anything really big this year...
But then again, who knows... I always have some secrets.
... a few words to our readers who love music as much as we do:
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Thank you Dmitry...Dani (18.07.2010)
