What is Endezzma
history? And what goals
did you set yourself
when you started the
band ENDEZZMA was founded in 2006 after I decided to reanimate my former
music project DIM NAGEL. I had back then in the late 90’s released a
couple of old classic demos with Dim Nagel together with band members
of the legendary KVIST. But after some years focusing on my own record
label and other project’s within the underground I felt it was time to
work more directly with music again in order to express myself again
as an artist. I decided to change the band name into ENDEZZMA and in
one way start from the very beginning. I asked my close friend and allied,
the URGEHAL frontman TRONDR NEFAS to join me as a creative force
in ENDEZZMA and the rest is more well-known history. The very first
line-up among other’s included RAGNAROK drummer JONTHO on drums
and was also supposed to include TAAKE’s frontman Hoest on bass, but
due to some reasons that did not happen.. When I started Endezzma
I had a clear goal of making a serious band dealing with a strong felt
darkness within myself, use my own inner darkness to present an eerie,
atmospheric and utter dark expression. But also work out of the heart
without label what we did or work inside a box…Endezzma very quick
started to walk its own path carving its own destiny as entity on its
own…
Endezzma is a about
death. What is death
and darkness for you?
The music itself for
centuries played an
important role in
the sacralisation and
ritualization of death,
in its aestheticization
and passion for society
oblivion of death. The lyrics are a deep dive into the depths of our darker mind. It’s in
one way our personal relationship to the dark side and how we relate
to death. Our death and death in general is something that control how
we live our lives, even we like to think that death is a topic that just
arrive when an accident occur or we become old. Its strong feelings and
strong emotions that is a driving force in our daily life. Like the track
Morbus Divina, the master of disease. And a carrier of death. It’s all in
wrapped into the world of Endezzma, creating an own philosophical saga
about death. I always been fascinated by death and let myself go with
its emotional contradiction, in one way the most beautiful and on the
other it can be the most heart breaking. Such intense, vital and strong
forces really possess me and thrill me. It is all around us, so it is no need
to make up stupid stories when the real and most intense vibes is all
around us to grab.
How important are
lyrics for you? Or music
and atmosphere are
matter more? The lyric’s is for me just as important as the music. It’s the written
word that represent and gospel our thought’s and present what we
are all about. For me and my band the lyric’s always payed huge part
of the music, if an artist or band take easily on the lyric’s it’s not only
that they end up with a catastrophe of a uncompleted and halfway end
product, but it also manifest the fact that the artist or the band don’t
have anything to preach, nothing to tell with their music. The world are
just packed with such act’s, playing without any goal or clear idea what
they want or what they want to tell with their music. I always was deeply
