The name of the band states that confrontation?
Pre confrontation of ideas. I mean, confronting the social and political structure in which we live, and confront the company values all prejudiced, and conservative moralists it back within himself. It means first of all to rebel this unfair system in which agents live.



What is the ideological line that follows the band?

We did not follow an ideological line. In each band has its own ideological and political views, so we just joined in on those ideas in common, but the band does not raise any flag in specific ideological. We are against the unjust and unequal system in which we live and try to express it in different ways within our music.



When the first consolidated training?

We always had the same training, I mean ... Our first demo-tape was recorded with another bassist, named Fernando, but he only recorded once and then left the band. Then came the bassist who is with us today, which is Eduardo moratorium.



How many recorded works, and how long the road?

We are at 9 years on the road without stopping and this time we record an ep in 2001 called "the insurgency" and then in 2005 our first cd called CAUSA MORTIS. All entries with South America and Europe. We also at that time some splits / cds with a German band, one Colombian and one Brazilian and also part of some collections in the United States and Europe.



The band tours, travel, what was the best show?

Besides the national tour followed, we did some touring in South America where we Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador. Practically we have also returned from our third European tour. Altogether I think we have something around 24 countries from South America and Europe. It is very difficult to say which was the best or the best travel show, each has its history and each travel agent who has brought us and keep great memories. Both in Brazil and in Europe, we did shows and memorable moments we really good, as were the concerts by the South America can also say that the Northeast of Brazil is also a wonderful place to tour with great seats , bands and people. Now on tour in 2008 with our next cd for sure we will redo this whole trip and we go through more places and countries. You can be sure that!



Lula is against re-election, even if you believe the president will not attempt to be reelected?

I do not know, I think not. I think over time the image has become worn out and many things happened during this mandate, facts that all government eventually staining. But nothing is impossible, right? after all, we are talking about Brazil.



The band believes in an overhaul in the independent scene?
You can count on more support and a more solid structure for the underground music reach new air?

We believe so. We believe in a restructuring of the independent scene, we believe in a new vision of work in this scene, bands with more responsible and active, stamps more professional and better structures for concerts. This is a reality, as things now are not like the time when we started. I see the bands most mature and with good ideas, efforts and making it run before we could not imagine. The things that sometimes take a little, but they are known to few and it is obvious that many things still have to be revised after all the game is not won, but the fact is that we see today in bands much more structured, more active seals and shows more than full time ago.



Being underground is to be anti-capitalist? This coming or not
is of extremism?

Do not think this procedure is because there are many underground bands that has no anti-capitalist position or political vision. And look well, I'm not doing it or not a negative criticism. I believe that each should express only what is real to her. Not just because a band is independent or underground it is required to be or have political vision of things and the world, because there are more bands that are only underground for lack of choice, as there are bands that are in major record labels and has more politicized messages and real than some that are in the independent. It's all a matter of being true, to believe what you say be real.



The band lives only for music?

Yes and no and I will tell you why. If you were to live only in the band probably viveríamos limit and perhaps not able to pay all our bills, so we have some of their work, but work by themselves and the band is always the first option. The band today is like a job because we live it 24 hrs a day, answering emails, taking care of much of the bureaucratic procedures, updates, media, testing, recording, etc ... That when we are not months away from home on long tours. So it becomes very difficult to combine a job with the occupation of the band. For example I only take care of things the band and I have no other work.

Palestine / Israel ... believe in peace?

No.



The United States created its greatest enemy, Osama bin Landen,
would be the spell against witchcraft?

I do not believe in Bin Laden. I believe in a symbol created by the U.S. government to justify any intrusion in other areas. The easiest way to legitimize the cultural, political and economic anywhere in the world.

Worse time already spent together?

There is worse. There are moments of learning, which should review concepts and attitudes. The moments that sometimes it seems many of the worst times are the times when you really take the right direction and learn to reassess things and that is very important.



Some show has been hampered by use of drink, or something?

No. We never had problems with it.



Message from the band critical / positive?

Dude I am not a person who loves to make criticisms or opinions, because I think every one knows their responsibilities and directions. All the times we make mistakes and hit some moments too. I use this space to thank the interview and to congratulate the work, because you asked me back there on the undergound and independent, so are attitudes like this that keeps things go and whether structure, strengthening even more what we we have here. Thanks to all who love the band and going to our shows. Soon we will have more news for you. wait! confrontation in 2008!
