BLAX (Gothic Hard Rock – Italy) – Interview for KICKASS FOREVER via Angels PR Worldwide Music Promotion #Blax
Thanks again to Angels PR Worldwide Promotion for submitting this interview!!!
- Hello guys! Welcome to Kickass Forever! Tell us a few things about how this band started to play together.
The band adventure started in March 2020 when our singer and songwriter Giampaolo Polidoro, alias Blax, started to collaborate with our guitarist Marco Fanella, alias Hektor, for the recording of the first demotape which later became the music you can listen through our album “Meravilia” recorded during 2021. The BLAX project became a family in 2022 when the drummer Massimiliamo
Bergo (alias Argex), the bass player Giulia Balestrieri (alias Katla), and the guitarist Emil Dellantonio (alias Hexen) joined the band.
- How would you describe your music? Which artists and bands influenced your
music?
We think that the more appropriate way to call our music is “Hard Goth” as the gothic
influences meet a 80s hard rock inspired sound. The band has a theatrical image related to the
representation of this goth BLAX family.
The main influence is represented by the 80s Hard Rock music, in particular figure like Alice Cooper
has a significant influence on our music.
- Your name intrigued me. How does this name came up to your mind? Is there any
special meaning behind “Blax”?
The name was spontaneously born while trying to grasp in its meaning between dark and black,
intending a “black” soul.
- A year ago you released the album “Meravilia”. Excellent release guys! How do you
feel about this project? Did you get the feedback that you’ve been waiting for?
People who listen to album “Meravilia” express good feeling about the gothic sound which is
reflected in the whole band image and concept. The very well done production of the album is
another positive point received from both fans and music press. Now our aim is to let more and more people know our first album by playing live around the world.
- What musical elements can anyone find in “Meravilia”?
Starting from the fact that BLAX band represents a family where every musician is a
member of it with a specific role, “Meravilia” represents the place where this family live, as
you can image from the album cover. The album “Meravilia” is thought as a concept album as the songs are meant to tell the stories around BLAX family, so a central narrative is present in the album.
- Suggest us 3 songs from this album.
We would suggest “Our Brain Conditions”, “Eva’s Eden” and “Party of Little Giants”.
- This period, Blax hit the road and participate in many shows. Master Of Rocks in July
and Balkan Metal Meeting in September are some of the biggest fests that you will
be there to play for the audience. How do you feel about that?
We love to play live because is the best way to reach more and more people, playing outside our country is very suggestive we are loving it.
- What’s next? Do you want to play all around the world and spread your music?
Yes, for sure! Blax adventure will continue playing as much as possible live in order to let people enter in our world/family and know our music. Meanwhile the composition process is going ahead.
- What does the band Blax means to you?
It’s like a family.
- Thank you for this beautiful conversation. Do you want to share anything?
What we want is to play for all people who can appreciate our compositions, letting them be part of the BLAX family, because sharing the same passion for music is what make us a family. You can get in touch through social networks for sure Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channels, and then listen to our music on every music platforms. Thank you!
