The Ocultan complete in 2009 15 years of banda, and get over their battle to consolidate the underground as a great representative of the Black Metal from Brazil. as you see the scene today and comparing with what happened in 1994 when the horde start its activities? What are the difficulties that a band of Black Metal in Brazil still faces?

Ocultan: The underground scene has gone through a period of recycling over the years, many bands have emerged, while others disappeared from the scene and was therefore only those with strong ideals can remain alive in the extreme scenario. We face many difficulties such as lack of professionalism on the part of record labels and producers of shows, which often do not comply with the contract, the lack of local expertise for a decent presentation with decent equipment, and a great deal of prejudice being a banda anti Christian.



With the passage of time has evolved very Ocultan musically, incorporating more influences into their sound of Brutal Death Metal in their music, this work will be more characteristic sound even more evident in their work pro Heights? The Death Metal elements are even more obvious?

Ocultan: Sure, this was a process of natural development of each member of the band, due to our influences, our next album is a mix of style with the current phase of the older band, resulting in a unique sound, with great personality. Everyone knows that Ocultan is a band that marks on creating a unique style of making music extreme.

You recently launched the first DVD "CEREMONY OF HATE" as the presentations on the DVD? The end result achieved the expectations of the horde? As has been the response of the criticism and the public to this new material?

Ocultan: We did our part, we give you the most, we had some problems during the production of BH, which was to have been the main show of this DVD, we lost half of our repertoire due to some problems with the recording equipment. So we had to think fast, we would be saved the show from campinas, being the closest show we had scheduled, saberíamos that this show would have to show a lower production of BH, and it cost us a lot of work, after the pre-production, production and finalization of the images we achieve a good result. We are satisfied with the end result of this material, which has received very positive criticism both from the public when the media specialist.


The work of you that is distributed abroad, as has been the acceptance and response to public criticism and to the sound of Ocultan abroad? Is there a proposal for international tours?

Ocultan: The music of Ocultan always been very well accepted by the outside public, perhaps by having a single sound as I have said and also to address a culture little known outside Brazil: the Kimbanda that dispertou interest from many bands out there , including Jon of Dissection, which in its passage by Brazil sought to delve into further in this culture that is so broad and unclear.

Yes there are some proposals for tours abroad, most have not received any proposal that is within our reach, we do not like other bands are doing, taking money from his own pocket to go play in other countries, and the worst is when the return Brazil, is finding the maximum. We do not share these ideas with us and what we are ready to go play in other countries want all our expenses paid, so I know when the foreign bands come play here in Brazil the producers give away everything and a little more for them ...
