Endrah Online Interview

Hey guys. Hope you're all doing well this week. Nearly time for the weekend! Today we get to learn about the band ENDRAH. Thanks to Andrew from Stencil PR for the opportunity of working with this band. Read on to find out more about these guys: 

How did you guys meet one another? 

I met the band originally in Brazil upon my first trip to Sao Paulo in 2005. The first time I met original guitarist and co-founder Billy Graziadei of BIOHAZARD fame in around 1999-2000 during Biohazard shows where I went to watch them play. I auditioned for ENDRAH because Blabbermouth had a post about his new band, ENDRAH needing a vocalist. I beat out all the competition, and was chosen to become the new lead vocalist of ENDRAH in early 2005. I went there in May 2005 and met the guys. Now we have a new bassist, who I have not even met in person yet, and he has been with us for almost 6 months! This band exists because of the internet, as we only get together when touring.

How was the band name created? 

As far as the story goes that I heard, the guys made a spin on Hindu godess of war Indra. Billy told me he liked ENDRAH as like somebodies name.

How would you describe the music your band creates? 

ENDRAH mixes, blurs, and erases the lines between Hardcore, Thrash Metal, and Death Metal. We use unique arrangements, and time patterns, and the layouts are not standard issue. ENDRAH music is very complex, and it is difficult for me to write lyrics over the music is there are few obvious parts for "verses" and "choruses".
ENDRAH music is for strong people, with strong minds. The band comes across in utter aggression, the music is a range of tempos, but always brutal. There are no soft spots or love moments in ENDRAH music. This is for serious times, and serious people. Check us out!www.facebook.com/endrah

What are some of the themes and messages that come across in your songs? 

The majority of ENDRAH themes and messages portain to social issues, political problems, and environmental concerns. ENDRAH utilizes revenge to conquer fears, break down walls, and actually move to accomplish goals. This band is not about fantasy lands. No tales of dragons and wizards in ENDRAH. The band speaks about current events, but we tell the side that the mainstream media does not usually share to the public. I like to consider myself informed, and well-read. I suggest reading American Free Press newspaper for some real news in America. They are online as well. 

What are your plans for 2016? 

ENDRAH has gotten offers to tour all over the world in 2016 but some of the offers just don't make sense timing wise or with the logistics involved so we are negotiating in many territories. In May 2016 ENDRAH will embark on a headlining tour of Brazil which will hit many cities across Brazil. The band is in talks with promoters and agencies in USA, Europe, Canada, Russia, Colombia, Mexico, and more places around the world.
At the moment, ENDRAH is in the studio recording a E.P. with 4 brand new songs to be released likely in late April or early May 2016.
