Guitars (rhythm), and Marcia Mora - Vocals. Jakem gave us some information. Check
it out.
Tell
us about Jakem?
We’re
a costarican thrash metal band formed early in 2011 by Marcia Mora on vocals,
Lenin Zamora on Lead guitar, David Campos on rhythm guitar, Randall Golcher on
drums and Angelo Alvarado on bass. Later Fabian Mora joined the band taking the
spot on the drums instead of Golcher.
What
are lyrical themes of Jakem?
We
speak about current and important topics on today’s society. It can be seen as
a musical critique on the society, government and mankind in general.
What
are your influences?
The
main musical composition is based on bands like Kreator, Demolition Hammer and
Fear Factory which provides a complex mix of sound that we adopt and add our
own touches to make a new sound.
Can
you tell us about Metal Scene in Your Town?
Costa Rica’s metal scene is in
constant reinvention, it adapts to the changes of times, however this being a
tropical country in latin America it ressembles a minority. A minority that
slowly grows in number.
Who
are Your Favorite Costa Rican Metal Band?
We
don’t have a favorite local band. We’ve enjoyed sharing stage with many
talented bands and we know there are many out there we haven’t had the chance
to play with.
How
were the songs written?
Most
of the lyrical inspiration comes from the global problems that affect all of us
as a culture, as humans: corruption, extreme control, abuse of power,
oppression, violation of culture and many more social
problems.
How
did the recording process go?
It
was quite an exciting time and we learned a lot. A first time experience for
most of us. Luckily we got to work with people who knows the metal music scene
pretty well and was patient enough to work with us until the final product was
up to what we wanted.
What
are you future plan?
Well,
in a short term we are working on a couple of video releases for our new
singles, also we are going to start the recording process for our first studio
album and also there are some really nice tours coming that we are really
excited about. In a long term we will start the composition process for our
second album.
The
idea is to continue working hard making more music, which is what we like, so
we can reach more people with our music and its message.
Are
there any countries you’re interested in touring or performing in? Why?
We
would love to play overseas (Europe), in the US, South America, to be honest we
really enjoy any place where we can connect with the audience and we can share
the music that we make here in Costa Rica
What
bands would you like to play alongside?
Well
of course we would like to play alongside any our influences but getting real
currently there are several new bands that have a great talent and sound so for
us is always a great feeling to share the stage with any band that has such
qualities
Any
last words?
Greetings from Costa Rica. We hope
you can enjoy our music. You can follow us on Twitter JAKEMCRthrash, our
