Entrapment the obscurity within5/6/2023 ![]() ![]() How do the new songs of ENTRAPMENT come into being? I’m interesting in the process itself. Now it think it’s great…you really enjoy the energy of the crowd. and it took me a while to get used to it. But vocals and guitars on stage was a new experience. So I had some experience throughout the years. I started off to play bass, then drums and I ended up playing guitar in a crust metal band. I can’t imagine first I’m sitting “hidden” back on the gigs and suddenly I’m standing in front of the microphone. Michel, when did you start to play the guitar and sing? If I’m not wrong, you were playing drums in your ex-band ABSORBED just as in MASSIVE ASSAULT. I think the underground scene is crowded with collectors and most of them aim for the vinyl and the ratities. I was a vinyl collector but I had to back down a bit haha. Do you like and collect vinyl? There are some bands claiming they sell more vinyl than CDs. An “old” music and an old medium go together. Why just this label? The record was published as CD digi-pack and as 12’ vinyl. „Lamentations of the Flesh“ was published by the Dutch label SOULSELLER RECORDS. It was the idea to make it sound oldschool and we pretty much succeed. „Lamentations of the Flesh“ was recorded by Richard Wierenga, he also recorded the first 2 demo’s. Where did you record and who made mix and mastering? Was it your goal to move closer to an “old” sound? Do you have any favorite record that you like so much that you want such a sound by ENTRAPMENT?įirst album was recorded at Perimeter Audio by Marc van Duivenvoorde. It can be said, both your last records sound like coming from 80th or 90th. They are based on my personal point of view. The fear of life, the fear of women, the will to power etc. The lyrics deal with religion from all kind of aspects. ![]() What about ENTRAPMENT? Do you want to tell any message, ideas? Who are the lyrics writers and what are you singing about? The lyrics by some death metal bands complete the music only. The church is based on some pictures I made during my holidays. We had to deal with a deadline and we couldn’t make it with the original artwork so I had to fix new artwork. My review to your last record „Lamentations of the Flesh“ was published, when the cover of the album was “original”. The main reactions on the album are really positive. Most of the critics write about the fact that the songs on „Lamentations…“ are much more mature then on the first album and that was exactly my intention so im really happy with the result. What is the feedback from critics, fans, how do the new songs look like on gigs? If you compare the new record with the last „The Obscurity Within…“, what way did ENTRAPMENT move? Describe the “differences” between both records. Your last album „Lamentations of the Flesh“ is out from May. But hey, they don’t exist anymore and it’s a killer band so who cares. Now I have to admit it looks a lot like DISMEMBER. I drew the logo around the same time as I wrote the first songs…I had no intentions to release anything so I wasn’t too serious witht the logo. Not from the movie nor the ENTOMBED song Blessed Be haha. Yes you’re right, I took the name from the SOULBURN song. ![]() Where is the name of the band coming from? I read somewhere, it is on the basis of the song from the Dutch band SOULBURN (the project of musicians from ASPHYX – the song „Hellish Entrapment“), is it true? And what about the logo? Who is the creator? It resembles me a little bit the logo from DISMEMBER. I’m writing all the songs so far and it seems more in handy that I also record the songs in the studio.altough we’ve got serious plans to cooperate more when we will record our 3rd full length. Does it mean that ENTRAPMENT is just your project/band and other members play live-shows only? In the last interviews you are said as „ the whole band“. When I was looking for the information about your band, you Michel were mentioned as the main composer and the only one member of ENTRAPMENT. And in april 2014 Soulseller released our latest album „Lamentations of the Flesh“. In 2013 we did a split with PYRE on Soulseller Records, played great shows and did a tour with MASTER throughout Scandinavia. In 2012 we signed a deal with Soulseller records and recorded „The Obscurity Within“. In 2011 Detest Records released the „Crawling Morbidity“ 7” and we played a handful of shows like Wolfsbane Festival and Killtown Deathfest. I recorded another 3 songs and released the „Putrefying Stench of Death“ demo tape by myself. Actually I didn’t wanna play in a band for a while since I was to busy with other things.ĭetest Records picked up the first songs I recorded and they released it as the „Infernal Blasphemies“ demo tape. Can you remember your beginning, history and please introduce the group.ĮNTRAPMENT started as a project around January 2010 by me. Ave ENTRAPMENT! I tried to find some information about your band on the Czech metal webzines. ![]()
