Subject: Hesus Attor
Date Posted: February 16 2011 at 15:31
When Lean Radic had left RHESUS FACTOR in 2003, HESUS ATTOR was born. In Rijeka, the Croatian's most prolific rock town.
The band was working as an instrumental trio with Juan Pablo Pe de Rigad on guitar, Senor monsenor Jose on bass and Manolo Mago Porco on drums. They were mixing progressive music, all kinds of metal and hard core, avangarde music, world music and much more, all that wrapped up in their unique, insane style.
I got in touch with the band and El Cathedralico answered my questions.
Your biography has been covered in your
ProgArchives profile so let's bypass the biography details. But which
bands were you influenced by and why did you choose that name ?
Well, we're influenced with various and
interesting artists :), such us Zorn, Zappa, Patton, Primus, Melvins,
Deerhoof, Dillinger Escape Plan, King Crimson, Butthole Surfers, Melt
Banana, Led Zeppelin, Don Caballero, Shellac, Mastodon and so on and
so on.
Name Hesus Attor came from bands former
name Rhesus Factor. It means nothing, some people have various ideas
what it means such us Jesus actor or something similar. That's good
for our dadaistic aprouch to music and lyrics, it could be everything
and nothing in a same time :).
You released the 'Monade & dispeti'
(2003), 'Vamonos Todos' (2005) and the mini-LP 'Green Feathers and
Canaries' (2006) in Croatia. Those albums never saw international
release, I believe.
Your only international album to this
date is the Sonic Gastronomy Volume 1 album from 2008. Please tell us
more about this album.
Sonic Gastronomy came as our first
international release for Slovenian/Croatian indie label Moonlee
Records and it was great opportunity to show the world how crazy we
really are haha...
Sometimes this album is hard to listen.
Countless breaks every few seconds on Sonic Gastronomy realy pissed
some people unfamiliar with mathcore or prog music in general, but
we're realy enjoy to work on this album. We're proud on Sonic
Gastronomy and it was great experience for us.
Does the Sonic Gastronomy Volume 1
album contains stuff from the above mentioned Croatian only albums ?
Yes, three songs from Green Feathers
and Canaries are on Sonic Gastronomy vol. 1.
For those of us unknown with your
music; how would you describe you music and which bands would you
compare yourself with ?
Basically it's some kind of math
rock-metal mixed with everything and anything people can imagine,
world music, ethno, noise rock, prog rock, pop, psy rock...
In every song we try to put something
different, we realy try to not repeat ourselfs.
Music with no boundaries is our goal.
When i came in band on Green Feathers
we unconsciously sound like some crazy Mike Patton's project. In time
we sound more and more like ourselfs which is great. Every's band
goal it's to be original above all.
What have you been up to since 2008 and
what is your latest update ? What is your plans for this year and
beyond ?
Well, we're been working on new songs
and we played several tours on Balkan from 2008 till now.
Our new EP called Seņorai will be
available on February 14th in form of digital download on our new
label Geenger Records (sublabel of Moonlee).
Our future plan is to promote our new
EP and play us much as we can. In distant future we wish to continue
working on our uncompromised music, and we wish to stay that way.
To wrap up this interview, is there
anything you want to add to this interview ?
Thanks for your questions Torodd :)
