On the rack: Aleksey from Alkonost

Wretched sinner, tell us about your latest deeds of evil and spite, 'Put' Neprodennyj’!

 

 

Aleksey (addressing to the person in white doctor’s smock, who stands near the questioner):

- Won’t your ward bite me? He is a bit too aggressive regarding the ordinary Russian guy.  

The person in white doctor’s smock:

- No! We dressed him in a strait-jacket and sat him to watch sermons on TV after yesterday he had bitten Napoleon and Julius Caesar. It makes him calm. So, don’t worry, Aleksey - you’re safe from it. 

Aleksey (addressing to the wide-eyed person in strait-jacket):

-So, Holy Father, do you mean a round silver thing named CD to be the creation of evil and spite? Hm…. I always thought that MP3 files and fast food were the creation of evil and spite but it turned out to be the Alkonost’s CD “Put' Neprodennyj”, on which one can listen to unique sound of Russian folk metal based on the imitation of folk melodies in traditional “metal” stylistics. The fusion of European medieval melodic, the imitation of Slavic folk tunes processed into guitar technique, volume bass-guitar parts, guitar rifs in keeping with best traditions of Heavy and Viking metal. As well as the  magnificent academic female vocal and harsh male screaming.

But it is already not the last creation. After “Put’ Neprodennyj” we have recorded 2 more CDs: “Pesny Vechnogo Dreva” and “Kamennogo Serdtsa Krov’ (Heart Stone Blood)”.

 

 

You fiend! You intend to tour the world with this devilish noise, don't you?!

 

 

Aleksey (addressing to the person in white doctor’s smock, who stands near the questioner):

- Your patient watches religious TV too much. May be he has to be treated by cartoon movies and a portion of good whiskey?  

The person in white doctor’s smock:

-Ha! Even a sane person will not refuse from such treatment. No. If all the mental patients will be treated in such a way, the asylums don’t’suffice because there will be a lot of those who wish to relax in such a way.

Aleksey (addressing to the person in strait-jacket, who now is trying to catch the fly which is flying around him by his mouth.):

- Flycatcher, supporting this CD we made a small tour of 10 gigs in Holland, Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Slovenia. And also we played several dozens gigs in Russia, Byelorussia and Ukraine.

 

 
I reckon you have many ungodly stories from your sinful tours. You might as well give us the worst story since we're preparing to fry you anyway!

 

 

Aleksey: Fried Russians are too hard to taste and the smell of the fried Russian attracts a lot of Siberian Bears with vodka and balalaikas. I suppose if you begin to fry us, you will not avoid the terrible story of dealing with hungry and drunken Russian bears)))

 

 
Oh, you are indeed a wretch! If we had not caught you, what would you and your cohordes have done now? Recorded even more of your fiendish rattling?
 
 

Aleksey: Oh, yes! The fiendish rattling in our execution will sound like folk-grindcore. By the way, anyone who wishes is able to make the handmade of folk-grindcore. For that he has to sing the favorite folk song and hammer on his head simultaneously. Above all is to strike the right rhythm and have the health insurance.

 

 
Damnations! You are beyond redemption. Name the five musical pieces that you want to bring with you when we send you to hell!

 

 

Aleksey: Ha, I suppose the Hell will blow out and ask for the humanitarian supplies from Heaven, and also the urgent evacuation to Mars from that music that we will drag from the sinful Earth.
