!...( laughs) You’ ve made me laugh Here are some stores that sell ins- Argentinian, has made us a kind of e could send it later. Which is in the house of instruments and watching s there for batteries, mixers, etc. The tion of each musician, which is not t there is such an abyss that it is pitimunerative money... I do not know ing in that store, because it is totally obbery... A battery costs around US that is how much an average salary $ 20, or CUC which is what is called

You can find batteries in US $ ing, and things that are appearing, To give you an idea, there is a place ys, three hours. And we paid what nd sometimes we do not have the er of the place.
ansport... it’ s all very complicated... lp each other. For example the bass, does not appear a new bass, is all he had from bass thanks to a friend of bass strings, because he could s were already three years old. And, now we could get new strings, for verything was already old, obsolete
Chón: _ Do you see that the metal movement today is growing?
Landy: _ Unlike, friend! On the contrary... The movement as it is I see it very badly... every time there are less people... Rockers always exist but as movement it is deteriorated. It is happening today, after the Maximrock agency that was in charge of giving us space, where the bands were, many of those bands today are doing covers, another type of music that has nothing to do with what they did originally, always keeping the same name of the band. A phenomenon a little strange is what’ s happening here... I do not know if by necessity or by protest, but to me as metalhead and as public it draws a little attention. But the movement as such... is sold...
Chón: _ Which bands do you think that set influence at the time of composing?
Landy: _ It’ s difficult to answer... there are many bands. But mostly the bands of the eighties, ninety, Slayer, Tankar, Slipknot, I am very fanatic of Slipknot, Exodus, the bassist likes more what is the type of bands like Arch Enemy, and the drummer is more likely Black-Metal, he likes Dimmu Borgir. And at the same time we are influenced by Cuban bands, for example Agonizer, Zeus, who in fact invited us to play recently, are bands that have been playing for twenty years, Tendencia is also a great band on the Island. Give a Cuban touch to what they do and also look to give that to Steel Brian.
Talking about lyrics, they were all in English at first, but today I’ m trying to give them a nuance, and bring them to Spanish, do them in two languages. We approach warlike conflicts, which annoy us, and do not touch other genres such as salsa, reggeton and so on... are topics that usually interest us, also social abandonment, and many others that we can think about. They are usually existentialist topics...
Chon: _ Well, Landy, you made clear the reality of the metal in Cuba, and the stance of Steel Brian. From here, from Argentina we wish you all, success, that you can reach everywhere, and that this appearance in La Maga, can make you cross several borders. I send you a big hug brother!
Landy: Thank you very much, my friend! I truly thank you from Steel Brian, myself and the entire Rock movement in Cuba. That we need friendly hands. Because we are dying little by little...
