Corpse Paint And Dayglo Interview

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

Gary: we are a new kind of black metal in that we aren’t metal at all. We have taken our new found love of new wave and our long time affair with the devil and made something lust filled, and sensually evil.

2.You label your music as 'blackened new wave', can you tell us a little bit more about this term?

Ringwald: How else would you describe danceable troubadouring for the devil’s love?

3.The band formed out of the ashes of 'Corpse Cvnt', what was the decision behind breaking up that band and forming a new one?

Gary: I am not sure what happened in the woods on the photo shoot. This is something no one likes to talk about. All I know is they were out there a long time with little resources. The desire to serve the dark master has never left Ringwald, Helmut, or Cannibal. I think they just needed a new way to express it and I am lucky enough to help.

4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?

Ringwald: Lust, desire, the freedom that comes from surrendering to the dark. The empowerment one receives from the mantle of Satan.

5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Corpse Paint And Dayglo'?

Cannibal: We honor the traditions of our past and our future. We dawn our armor and war paint while sharing our beautiful and bright future with the morning star.

6.Has the band done any live shows or are there plans for shows on the future?

Helmut: we haven’t played shows under this new lineup. We haven’t played since before the incident.

Ringwald: we plan to play shows very soon!

7.On the split you had also done some 'Immortal' and 'Dark Throne', covers, can you tell us a little bit more about your versions of their songs?

Cannibal: We pay tribute to our forefathers. We find the sexual side of the music. We find the true meaning and reshape it to spread the message more clearly.

8.Recently you where a part of a split with 'Death On Fire', what are your thoughts on the other band that had participated on the recording?

Ringwald: They were kind enough to work with us. They understand what we are doing. They don’t seem to be true believers in our faith. That said they are an excellent band. True professionals and they have a great sound for fans of that style.

9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal, new wave and dance music?

Gary: I don’t know that the guys pay attention to that. They are focused on other things, mostly they serve the music. From what I have seen, it has been received quite well.

10.When can we expect a full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

Ringwald: We serve the truth! Our sound is our soul, it will not change. We are true to blackened new wave!

Cannibal: Plans are in the works for a possible full length down the road but that is up to management.

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

Gary: They were on the edge of NSW, so I think they like a lot of those guys. Now though it is so far removed from that. We seem to listen to a lot of Talking Heads, The Cure, Duran Duran, The Smiths, and Depeche Mode.

12.What are some of your non musical interests?

Helmut: Dance

Ringwald: Reading

Gary: I used to hike a lot. The guys are not big on hiking anymore though. For obvious reasons

13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Gary: Thank you for the support. Hail!!

Death On Fire/Corpse Paint And Dayglo/Hope/2018 Split Album Review

  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  album  between  Illinois's  Death  On  Fire  and  Corpse  Paint  And  Dayglo  which  will  be  self  released  in  October  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  Death  on  Fire  a band  that  plays  a  melodic mixture  of  death  and  thrash  metal.

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  a  very  fast  sound  along  with  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats  while  the  vocals  are  a  mixture  of  death  metal  growls  and  screams  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  and  the  songs  also  bring  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

  A  great  amount  of  melody  can  also  be  heard  in  the  guitar  riffing  while  all  of t he  musical  instruments  having  a very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  some  elements  of  groove  metal  also  being  utilized  at  times  and  he  also  brings  in  Duran  Duran,  Prince,  Inxs,  and  Tom  Petty  covers  as  well  as  adding  in  a brief  use  of  piano's,  spoken  word  parts,  synths  and  clean  playing,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  real  life  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Death  On  Fire  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  melodic  death  and  thrash  metal,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Hope"  and  "You  Got  Lucky".

  Next  up  is  Corpse  Paint  And  Dayglo  a  band  that  plays  a  blackened  form  of  new  wave.

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  a  cover  of  Immortal's  "tyrants"  which  also  brings  melodic  guitar  leads  onto  the  recording  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  while  also  mixing  in  elements  of  synth  pop  and  goth  rock  style  vocals  and  the  song  sounds  nothing  like  the  original.

  They  also  bring  in  a  new  wave  version  of  Darkthrone's  "Transylvanian  Hunger"  before  closing  their  side  of  the  split  with  an  original  song  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  nature  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Corpse  Paint  And  Dayglo  are  a  very  great  sounding  blackened  new  wave  band  and  if  you  are  looking  for  something  very  original,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Transylvanian  Hunger".

  In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  melodic  death,  black  metal  and  new  wave,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  8  out  of  10.
