Interview with Anima Virus
To start you can give me something about you and tell your artistic development? Since when do you actually like music and is the current line-up?
I ve started to play guitar and to sing since 1987. I was a teenager very charmed by the rock music an sci-fi.. Me and Luca (bass) are playing together since 1994, Deneb joined us in 2008.
Is there such a thing as a fundamental idea which hides itself behind Anima Virus?
Search the truth about the human’s history and spread it.
How, where and when it came to the founding of Anima Virus?
Why did you name the band decided Anima Virus? Puts you behind for a deeper meaning?
The name of the project was born by the way of a mix of wordplay and meanings which often are coincident in different languages, too and having like etymological basis some terms of the ancient latin and grecian languages.The term “anima”means Human spirit, awareness of the man which united to the term “virus”(venefica substance and evil essence) create a broad meaning about the humanity reflextions and its actual condition. I think that humanity has lived and is living its own destructive evolution owing to its own action on this planet like a virus.Its a name which includes a reflection about the distress and extreme disquietude of the single “virus”-man, who understand its own condition, nature and corrupt world around himself.
What is even a song with you? Is there a person who writes the songs or the songs are in the common interaction?
No, actually every songs is composed by myself in all its parts.
What for you was the first major production or were there earlier publications of you? Do you yourself feel that the album with her your own musical boundaries are redefined and exceeded you?
“End of the Eden”is the first Anima Virus official album. It Is produced by Decadance Records.This album is the core of Anima Virus music at the highest level and represent the most important work of ten years. I’m very glad to know that the label is a good support and it respects my “modus operandi”. But I’m sure to surpass myself in the future works… This album is the first stage of an enormous font.
How was it to collaborate with label? Have there been earlier contacts with the label?
Yes, but the label develops most of all musical promotion on zines and internet.
Will there be an album tour?
Maybe in the next months will be out the dates in Europe.
How many publications there has been from you?
“End of the Eden” is the first official publication but in the past years I have produced other works without a label (demos) : Anima Virus (Ep-2003) – Blood from Heaven (minicd-2005) – Adam (Ep-2007).
Is there a song on the album, especially of you at heart? If yes, what and why?
No, every song of this album is special for me.
In addition there are projects which it operates?
No.

About four years.

Was recorded and produced at my personal home studio and at Ghostrack Studio in Rome.

To get in the production of someone behind the controls supported, or was all alone in your hands?
The creativity, the concepts, and the style are all of mine.
What requirements must provide it personally to a good song?
A good song is a magical emotion. Is a fusion of powerful rhythm, originality, surreal atmospheres.
When her new songs composed, as it requires a certain inner mood or a special atmosphere?
More than other I require the solitude and the silence to compose. I don’t care if out it’s rainy, cloudy, sunny or else.
What draws her themes in your lyrics and what to let you in the lyrics inspire?
The grecian literature, archaeology, anthropology and philosophy are my great passions. At the end I think of the time which goes on relentlessly. I believe that we’re living in a corrupt world which represents the creation of ourselves and that we re surviving in this whirlwind of emotions. This is my deeper inspiration.
How important are you your texts? Take it in the music of Anima Virus a big place, or you see the texts ore than accessory to the music?
All is architecture in my songs. In some tracks the lyrics are the lead of composition and in others the music. I think that the balance it’s fundamental.

I ve composed these 14 tracks in much time. When my albums are out finally, it means that I’m fully satisfied!

(Lol) Never. I have my ideas, and I don’t care about this form of plastic “fashion”…

Yes there is. In my music there is powerful sounds and groove, originality, dark emotions…
And are things wanted by several souls.

It describes how people your music that you never have heard?
How important is it for Anima Virus (musical) success?
It’s quite important. But the success is a concept to argue from different points of view.

To have much more opportunities to change the point of view in the scene.
