Interview #21 - Human Improvement Provess

First of all, i'm really sorry, for being so quiet the whole last month. My computer broke and the motherfuckers, who repaired it, where slow as fuck.

So for now, i'll be posting a lot more!

The next interview was also a long time ago, but this time it's really really interesting i think, because these guys from Italy really founded a new kind or dimension of modern extreme music.

Comparing these guys with "The Browning", who are actually pretty hip, these guys will speak a lot to fans of this kind of music.

For all those who chill their lives to Dubstep instead of Trance, or also like both and off course are open minded to new stuff and love Death Metal, will find a new favorite band in these guys...

So here's my interview with 

Human Improvement Process!

Hello, thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for my site,
first of all, tell us who you are and where you're from.

Fabio:
Hello Hendrik, we're from Modena (Italy). Maybe someone knows our hometown because of tortellini, Lasagne and Ferrari ahahah =)

Where does your band name come from?

Fabio:
Finding a cool name was really hard before starting this project; I don't remember very well but I guess
that someone told "hey guys, how about Human Improvement Process?"...heey that's awesome.
That's all =)

You guys have kinda rare sound, combining Death Metal, Dubstep and many more kinds of modern heavy music.
What moved you guys to the conclusion of as i would call it "Melodic Death Metal-Dubstepcore"?

Fabio:
Is quite simple, because we love death metal and we enjoy electronic music =)
We have a huge musical background; we listen to every kind of metal since we were 10/11 years old, and
this obviously have a strong influence on our composition.

Lately we discovered a lot of interesting sounds in electronic music, so we think our sound is
just the merging of all the music we've listened to!

Also how would you guys define the music you are playing? Maybe you have a special name for this sick mixture?

Fabio:
Giving labels to music is quite useless I think, we just do what we love to do =)

How would you explain your sound?

Fabio:
Early 2000s Death Metal with Melodic stuff and Dubstep, maybe could fits XD

What music or which bands are the members listening to? Any favorite bands?

Fabio:
Personally I'm listening to an awesome italian band in these days "The Secret"; I'm also listening to
Hundredth, The Ghost Inside, Viatrophy, We came as romans, Motionless in White (talking about "Deathcore" bands), Dissection,
Slayer, The Legion...
We listen to a lot of Death Metal bands like Suffocation, Inveracity, Dying Fetus, Decapitated, Vader, Death and many more.

Do you guys know a band called "The Browning"?
These guys are became a really famous band recently, for mixing Death Metal with Trance, what do you think about their music?
Just interested in how you think about bands that play a similar type of music to you.

Fabio:
Sincerely I don't like this band, but it's just a personal opinion and if I have no good things to say I think it's better saying nothing =)

What inspires you, to write such a great music? Are you guys knowing what the listeners want, i mean you combine two really popular genres?

Fabio:
As I told you before we just write the music we love to play, nothing more =)

Coming to your live shows. How do you manage the Dubstep sound on stage, do you have a hidden 6th member?

Fabio:
No unfortunately it's impossible at the moment.
Right now our drummer Luca is playing live shows with an Ableton live project which send click and guitars to his
headphones and electronic stuff to the mixer.

What was your sickest show and was you funniest/favorite moment behind the stage?

Fabio:
Our sickest show ever was definitely at XO club in Moscow, I think THIS video speaks by itself ahahah =)
More or less all the moments on tour were amazing, from getting drunk with Russian vodka to sign autographs (!!!!!!! incredible xD) and shoot
pictures with maaaany fans everyday; was totally insane.

Which bands would you like to tour with and why?

Fabio:
Touring with Born Of Osiris would be awesome.

What things are coming up from you guys? You guys already said to me, you currently finished writing your debut album, so when do you think it'll be released?
Also keep a physical copy for me haha ;)

Fabio:
ahahah of course we'll do.
I hope we'll able to release our full length on April/May 2012 =)

Any other things in the works? Probably new Merch coming?

Fabio:
We've a couple of gigs in Italy and then I think we're touring again Russia in may!

Any words you want to say to your fans, friends or families?

Fabio:
We will be more extreme than "In Crystalline Worlds Beyond", we won't never sell our asses shooting a video of a famous cover, we'll stay true.
Cheers guys!

Interview #8: Jahmbi

These dudes should really get more attraction! 10 years and still unsigned, but the love to music never faded. These guys are a perfect example of having fun at evil and heavy sounding music. Some of the less bands, that don't care about their genre and just play the stuff they want to do - hard stuff, metallic stuff! It's pretty hard for a band to get together with all the tastes of the members, but Jahmbi seem to take this "problem" as an advantage though. They play with all heart and they play it all hard. These guys are real dudes!
♥

Meet my Dudes from Jahmbi!

Q: How did the band get started? Where there reasons?
A: The 3 founding members of Jahmbi (Aaron L., Aaron R. & Adam) met through school & birth. Doing something different with NO limits musicaly has always been a big reason for what we do in Jahmbi.

Q: How would you describe your mighty sound?
A: "Brutal yet Friendly."

Q: Are there bands that influenced your sound?
A: In the beginning it was everything from Mr. Bungle to System Of A Down. Jahmbi is always being influenced by different bands. Dog Fashion Disco, After The Burial & The Black Dahlia Murder have been more recent influences on us, but as indivisuals, the list is HUGE!, we all have our own personal influences.

Q: Your called Jahmbi, weird name for me, but behind this name is this awesome band. Tell us how you came to this name and what it means.
A: The name came from the T.V show Pee-wee's Play House. We decided on the name about 10 years ago in Adam's garage. He worked at a video store and that was a tape he always watched.

Q: Which genre would define your band the most?
A: That has always been a mystery to us. We write our music using so many different styles of music that it's hard to say what we would be called. Experimental Metal has always felt right. It's a mix of everything, like us.

Q: Have you known what kind of music you want to play, before starting the band?
A: Not sure if any of us knew what we wanted musicaly when we started Jahmbi. I think we were all looking for a band that had no limits when it came to writing music."

Q: What do you want to say through your music?
A: Have fun with your music and don't worry about what others think. Also we hope in some way, everyone see's how epic Fred Savage is through our music.

Q: What are your favorite bands? Do they inspire and/or influence your music too?
A: Again, we're inspired by so many bands and music genres in general & Fred Savage.

Q: Where do you get your inspirations, beside to other bands, especially for the lyrics?
A: Lyrics have always came from the theme we chose for each song, whether its about video games, war, vikings, pirates, or anything else we randomly come up with. Rich is an amazing writer so he always adds or writes awesome lyrics to go with the theme of the song.

Q: What are your interests beside the band? Do you guys just do the band or do you work/go to school/study?
A: Becoming Dragon Slayers have been a huge goal for each member.

Q: What things are coming up? News about new releases, new merch, line up changes?
A: We have a new e.p (The Demetalizer) out right now on iTunes & Amazon, we have a 5 day mini California tour coming up at the end of July with two amazing bands (Nekrogoblikon & Ana Kefr) & we're officially working with a new management team (Reel Talk Management). The future is bright for Jahmbi.

Q: Do you guys have played in other bands before?
A: Yes. Rich & Adam have played in a few other projects.

Q: Which bands have shared the stage with you? Name your favorites.
A: Sharing the stage with bands you grew up listening to is always amazing. For example, we were lucky enough to share the stage with The Misfits. Jerry Only was one awesome guy! also our day with GWAR, it doesn't get any more unreal then that.

Q: Are there any bands you would like to see on this page in future? Are there bands you would recommend to FORTHELIONS Promotion or just for taking a listen?
A: Checkout the new wave of young so cal metal/hardcore bands. These kids can play and because of them, so cal will always have the most brootal bands."

Q: What was your sickest show?
A: The response from California Metal Fest 2011 was awesome!"

Q: Which bands would you like to tour with and how would your favorite tour look like?
A: This is a hard question! haha. To many awesome bands to just pick a few."

Q: Any messages left to fans, friends or family?

Promotion #10: Jahmbi

Artist: Jahmbi

Origin: California/USA

Genre: Experimental Metal/Hardcore/Metalcore/Death Metal/Thrash Metal

This band lives over ten years now, and i sadly experienced them this year! But to my luck i found out about them!

Jahmbi is one of the rarest bands i've ever known! Their music can be rated between awesome and heavy! There are no really words to describe their sound, they just do their thing... and they do it fucking good! Metal straight from hell!

No category can describe these guys. They combine almost every single style of music and make it heavy.

If you have payed attention during you classes, you would know the these equations:

Metal + Jazz + Heavyness = Jahmbi

RnB + Metal multiplied with supernatural awesomeness = Jahmbi

Blues - sorrows + Metal + Funk = you guessed it... Jahmbi!

I could list up many crapped equations and the result will always be the same!

They know how to do their shit! Thats why i really respect these guys!

Also they are pretty great to their fans. They really care and do fun with them on Facebook!

A band you should really check out. You really have to experience them yourself guys!!!

Check them out!

Here a great song from their new EP "The Demetalizer". Get it on iTunes!!
