Emerging from the depths of Calgary’s deepest underground comes Deimoz. A band who is finally ready to put their dynamic metal sound to the stage, after over a year of preparation. Although you may be curious to know exactly who these masked men are, you might just have to catch them in the act while they sweat their faces off before they reveal their identity to you. Playing their first set together at Verns, on November 6th, we decided to sit Deimoz down for a quick interview, so we could figure out what these on-stage monsters were hiding.
AD: Where did the name, Deimoz come from?
“(Deimoz,) is the God of war and destruction from Greek mythology.”
AD: What type of music would you say, has influenced you to play in a band together?
“We are kind of a new fusion between Lamb of God, with some punk influence. We are very high energy.”
AD: Why the masks?
“I enjoy it, because I can just let go. I mean, I have kids and stuff, but when we party, you won’t even know it. I’ll be this crazy, ugly, demon dude, who plays metal!”
AD: Do you plan on always remaining anonymous?
“We are doing a little bit of recording with the masks off right now, but only our true fans will know what our faces look like. We are definitely going to try and keep our masks on, but when we get really hardcore and sweaty they fall off of us.”
AD: In addition to the masks, do you guys do any other on stage theatrics, that make you unique?
“Well, we have all learned to showboat a little and we throw ourselves around pretty good. We also have a lot of lights and will be bringing our own light rack and fog machine. We don’t have any pyrotechnics yet, but we have the blood thing happening.”
AD: Considering that you guys just started out, are there any bands out there that you would like to start playing shows with?
“The closest band in the city that we have noticed (that plays similar music,) is probably Through Tragedy, so we would love to start playing more shows with them. Other than that, we are not really too picky with who we play with. We will play anywhere, anytime.”
AD: Do you guys have anything recorded yet, or have plans for a CD in the near future?
“Well, we have 12 songs we are working on right now, but we’re sticking to the whole indie theme, and trying to do it ourselves. We have all the right equipment, but we’re just trying to learn how to use it properly. It makes things much easier that way but we’re really hard on ourselves.”
AD: If you could describe your band using one word, what would you say?
“Metal!” “Brutal Solo’s!” “Intoxicating!”
