Purify Interview

1. Hi, first of all, could you give us a rundown on Purify – who is who, how did you guys get together and what was the reason to start a band?
In the beginning, we all played in many bands from various music styles.We all knew each other before we decided to play together.
We just did it due to a lack of motivation from some members of our last bands we played with.

2. In which bands did the member of Purify played in the past?
A lot of bands but the last ones were Time Has come, Out For The Count, And The Angels Die, Kickback & more...

3. What are the band's main influences?
So many bands people probably don't know the existence of, so we will give you just these words to redefine PURIFY :
Anger, dirt, unholy things, loudness...

4. What are some of the topics you touch in your music and how important is message in hardcore for you?
We like hardcore and metal music as long as it stays near our influences. We play in a band defined as a hardcore/metal band but we really don't give a fuck of this scene and even the other ones, and of course people involved in it. So we don't have any message to share with them. Our lyrics are not about typical hardcore bands like "unity", "brotherhood", or typical hardcore bands faking to be tough and talk about "gangs", "guns", "brassknuckles"... Our words are just some themes about "suicide", "dirt in this world", and all around the words we said in answer number 3.
5. What makes your first record significant and what can we expect from it? When do you will release it?
We planned to start recording in 2010. We have a lot of ideas for this record and how it should sounds. We don't want to communicate anything else about it, just wait & see cause we don't want to tell stories about something that's not released yet.
6. How do you think the genre of hardcore has evolved over the years? Do you think it’s all going in the right direction?
From an external point of view, we think that the hardcore scene is today what the "neometal" scene was 10 years ago.
Kids begin to listen to hardcore very young, buy some "Terror" stuff, come to hardcore shows. For people involved in this scene we think it must be great, but like we said, it's just our point of view.
If you want to know if they're all going in the right direction, we will answer "yes". Just because they all are going in the same direction, good or bad we don't care, because this is not the direction we decided to follow.

7. What are tour plans for Purify?
We'll just make some shows to promote the name of PURIFY until starting to record our full lenght in 2010.
Some shows we were supposed to do got reported in 2010 so we can keep working on this record.Next crib we will play is a fest in London called "Warfare fest" in the end of november, next ones will follow in the beginning of 2010.

8. What is your label situation?
We are dealing with many labels.
We will work with the one who will be able to fit our needs, not necessary the biggest one, but the righteous one with a same vision of the music we play.

9. What are the bands plans for 2010?
For dumb people who didn't understand : Shows, record, shows.

10. Thanks for the interview, anything you would like to add?
No.
