[Vultur’s worthy debut album Corona de Frastimus was but a pretext for this e – mail interview with leader, vocalist and guitarist Attalzu, who disclosed to the readers the ever present protagonist of their uncompromised and shamanic Old School Black Metal assault: the archaic and spellbound island of Sardinia. Fasten your seatbelts!]

Finally, your debut Corona de Frastimus saw the light of day. In hindsight, do you have any remarks to make on it?

“First and foremost, thank you for the interview, and for the support! The release of our first, official album undoubtedly brought us a great deal of satisfaction; we had the chance to report true stories – of curses, rituals and characters given to Black Magic, all of them happened in Sardinia in the past, although some of the related practices have persisted until nowadays. It would have been superfluous and overdone to keep talking about the usual traditions, legends or pagan Gods, even if we could not disown such subjects, so we wanted to push the boundaries a little further, delve deeper, and as a result, we unearthed stories which have been forgotten or simply ignored by the majority… and we are going to continue along these lines. Sardinia is a mine of mysterious and macabre tales (of true events!), intertwined with old and new religions and magic, and occultism. We still have plenty of things to tell, given my obsessive passion for this kind of stories, and hopefully we’ll get to know many more people who will agree to unveil the countless mysteries of our arcane and wonderful island of Sardinia. In the future, we’re also intentioned to include the lyrics in the booklets of our next albums, assuming we’re going to release any other. The working on this album took place in two different locations and two separated moments and states of mind: the first stage has been very slow and distressing, while the second one was more offhanded, chaotic and filled with issues… Each Vultur recording session has always been an adventure full of tension, imbued with curses, hard work and misfortune. I hope for the next recording process to be more focused, flawless, and subjected to a greater discipline, as all of these factors were sorely missed during the recordings of Corona de Frastimus. The insecurities related to this album were mostly due to a notable lack of internal cohesion, which represented a rather strong issue at that time”.

You’re most welcome, it’s a pleasure for me to host you on these pages! I totally second your statements, it’s impossible not to absorb the charm of such place as Sardinia. I remember reading that your ‘obsessive passion’, to quote your own words, was aroused from certain unusual experiences, would it be a nosey question if I asked you to mention something in regard to that? Has the title of Sleeping in Domus de Janas got something to do with it? … And, by the way, what was ‘assuming we’re going to release any other’ supposed to mean!?

“A long time ago, I experienced some particular events related to Sardinian magic, and even beyond… Read the rest of this entry »
