Interview With Colony Thirteen
Colony Thirteen is a STHLM band that consists
of William, Max, Hugo, Amanda & Jehoshua.
Tell us about Colony Thirteen?
We're a bunch of young people from Stockholm, Sweden who somehow
got together and started playing music. We play experimental hardcore metal.
What are the lyrical themes of Colony Thirteen?
The themes are quite varied, there isn’t one theme for the entire
EP or something like that. They vary from themes like a man slowly losing the
memory of his wife (A familiar face), to reaching that perfect level of
intoxication (Shalom). The lyrics have different authors, but ever since the
vocalist Amanda joined she has been the main lyricist.
What are your influences?
Our influences are very diverse since we all listen to different
kinds of music. Our main influences range from prog bands like Opeth to hardcore
bands like La Dispute and Converge, but individually some of our favorite
artists are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, Dinosaur Jr, Iron Maiden and Paramore.
We chose an artist and let her come up with an idea based on the
prelude and postlude lyrics, the name of the EP and how they all twine
together.
How were the songs written?
Most often there is at least 2 people collaborating in writing the
lyrics and music, then when the band is gathered at rehearsal we all add the
finishing touches. Basically, everyone is involved more or less.
How did the recording process go?
Slow.
What are your future plans?
For now, we are going to focus on writing new material and
hopefully start recording by the end of the year.
Are there any countries you’re interested in touring
or performing in? Why?
We have had our sights on Norway and Germany, but in the future we
would love to tour South America and Japan because of their amazing audiences.
What bands would you like to play alongside?
Gojira, Rolo Tomassi and Russian Circles are some of the bands we
would like to play with.
Any last words?
Thank you for interviewing us and for reviewing our EP!
