On the rack: JJ Rockford from VII Gates

Wretched sinner, tell us about your latest deeds of evil and spite, "In Hoc Signo Vinces"!

 

 

VII Gates - A complex album that took to long to record, but probably came out pretty fine. You might need a few extra listenings to really enjoy it though, there’s a lot of musical information to sort out!


 

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


 

VII Gates - Wish we could. Anyone know a good booking agent?

 
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!


 

VII Gates - Hehe, actually not. We haven't been playing live that much. But I daresay that especially Criss have a good potential. When he talks about his childhood, you hear the words "burn", "explode" and such things all the time.


 
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?


 

 

VII Gates - That's definitely the plan. As you might know, I was fired from the band a few months ago. So I suppose the other guys will record an album later this year. And so will I, with my new band Crown (www.crown.nu).


 

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


 

VII Gates - Hm, I will limit my mind to almost perfect ALBUMS. You know, albums that seem impossible to improve.

The Who - Quadrophenia
Original soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade (yes, you're eyes aren't deceiving you; I didn't like their first two albums at all, but this is fantastic)
.
Dia Psalma - Gryningstid (Swedish band)
City Boy - The Day the Earth Caught Fire

 
 
  This Inquisition Symphony was conducted by the Power of Metal in March in the year of our Lord 2009.
