media and fans since its release,
now you've had the opportunity to reflect/ look back on the recording, how
do you feel that everything had turned out?
Within Nowhere, being our first full-length, in general, turns out good.
We did the record to the point, at that time, where everyone were satisfied
with their input and the eventual sound that came out. after the album
was released we listened to the songs again and obviously the "...Hey...i
think this could be higher or that should be lower..." and so on
starts to pop out and it is at this juncture where ideas begin to pour
in as to how we can improve things to sort of attain the next upper
level of songwriting. we take "Within Nowhere" as our first
stepping stone, as our benchmark. Definitely we will strive to better
our efforts.
of changes in the band lineup, now with the addition of Gene(drum) and with
Fazley taking over the vox. What do you think of this current lineup?
I think
this is the strongest line-up we have so far. Gene played in other bands,
and he still does, before he came and join in the fold. i've seen him
perform "furiously" at local gigs and to me he is a true metal
drummer. Fazley is a young guy with a huge passion. he's really into
what Bhelliom is doing. for both these dudes i have to say i admire
their willingness to commit and that's the reason they are in Bhelliom
right now.
""Within Nowhere” The title track and
it should be the highlights of the album, intro with beautiful rift
before the big hit with well define changes of rhythms and volume through out the song.
This work really surprised me in a positive way, maybe because I have
not listen to this type of music from Singapore before."-SiamMetal.com
this genre (Melodic DeathMetal)
We like to infuse our songs with a dose of good old hard rock. Not to forget that there are elements of stoner rock also and i think this is what differentiates us from other bands in this genre. we like it this way. we are comfortable with it. i guess it's due to our various musical influences.
Looking
back again, do you think Bhelliom is heading towards the direction
the band wanted?
Yes, indeed. where we are heading to right now is a result of the influences incorporated by the ex & current members of Bhelliom and it has paved the way that we feel is best for the band.
The 1st
half of 2006 is memorable. we played 2 festivals at 2 different countries,
something of a 1st time experience for Bhelliom. we enjoyed and truly
appreciate that moment. some festivals are being planned for the 2nd
half of 2006 and at the same time we are conjuring up new songs for
the next album.
is certainly a slight hint in change of sound and style as compared to
"WithinNowhere", can tell give us a bit more regarding this new approach?
Can't reveal much. all i can say is that it's gonna be a bit more up-tempo.
Last words?
