Breakfast aside, the drives tend to be longer but the roads are wider. There are places in the US that sell 27 different flavours of pop tart whereas the EU is lagging behind with about 4. It has been good to visit so many different places and cultures. It was definitely a long drive having left it too late to organise flights. The Summer Solstice festival was a unique experience and our only show of 2015. The first US dates were with Cough supporting in 2012 and the most recent US tour was with Primitive Man and Cult Leader in 2016. You also played at the Sommer Sonnwend (summer solstice) 2015, how did you like that? Did you experience major differences touring in USA vs. You guys are coming back from a long US tour, your second time there, if I am not wrong. Who comes up with the idea for the music videos? They are disturbing as fuck!Įach effort is a very natural visualisation of the music that Dragged Into Sunlight creates. Similarly to the release of Hatred for Mankind, which had some crippling doom parts before we went on to record Widowmaker, there is an older death metal influence on the newer material. Recently, the sound exhibits a lot of 90s death metal at the surface. Musically, Dragged Into Sunlight is an eclectic mix and draws on everything from harsh noise to intricate thrash.

Our influences range from prolific serial killings to works of art.

Writing is a collaborative process feeding from an array of creative influence. Which are your influences? Do you guys have different music backgrounds and preferences? Is there a lot of argument within the band when it comes to songwriting? How does the process work? We practice in various studios across the UK dependent on who is attending, we are mostly in Leeds at the moment whilst work on new material continues. We are usually all in the same room a few times each year. Since you all live in different places and come from different music projects, how often do you play together? Do you have a place to practice?ĭragged Into Sunlight is not a regular occurrence.

He remains involved with DIS but retired from live duty to focus on his professional duties as a scientist of sorrow. J was drinking in a bar over here in the UK and we began discussing old Sepultura. I told C that I am from Bolivia and he mentioned that a former member of DIS was also from there and we were both impressed since I know him! Anyway, I was wondering about how he got involved with you guys? I drift into and out of a trance-like state. I feel my closest friends giving everything they have for something they love and as a result, I want to do the same. How is your experience there? what do you feel when you sing barefoot and not facing the audience?Ī dystopian odyssey. On stage you use candles, skulls and of course big amps. Īt the concert, I talked for a while with C (bass) and we finally agreed to have a small interview with T (vocals) who is mainly in charge of “public relations”. We are all fans of extreme music, and we know that audiences want what we want, to play as hard, fast, heavy and loud as possible. We enjoy a separation between our music and varying professions, allowing us to explore what is essentially an exorcism of our daily frustrations.

This kind of anonymous profile helps the band to be able to make music without external pressure or compromise. I saw downstairs and found out that this concert venue called Exzess was in a vaulted basement with a rotten atmosphere. The location looked abandoned, housed in an old workers house, probably build quickly after the second world war, maybe earlier. Maybe there is a much nicer side of the city, but it did not cross my way. For me, it is like visiting a depressing and also oppressing city without hope left. Not exactly the most beautiful city in Germany, with extremely rich – the major financial centre in Europe – and poor close together. The closest location for me was Frankfurt a.M. I had the chance to attend a concert of DIS in late 2014, where they played a long European tour. The purpose of the exercise was simple – to capture, digest and regurgitate Godflesh‘s 1989 Streetcleaner into a conceptualised nightmare. Only thirty minutes of recorded material from an excess of three hours were used. As they mentioned about this last one: Dragged Into Sunlight embarked on its unholy collaboration of minds with these prolific cave dwellers.
