Mud Spencer exclusive interview

Greetings and a warm welcome to Metal Music News and Interviews. Our readers are eagerly looking forward to getting acquainted with you and your band. Would you kindly provide us with a concise description of your group? Could you please tell me the origin of the band? 

The band is from Cirebon West Java Indonesia



2- Kliwon is the band's second full album. How long did it take to compose and record? 

The band's second album, Mud Spencer Kliwon, took nearly a year to compose and record.

3- What musical influences inspire the band's compositions?

Various musical influences, from 1968-1973 heavy rock area to modern heavy doom psychedelia going through Eastern ethnic music from Ethiopia to Indonesia.

4 - The group started in 2019. Can you tell us how did the members all meet?

The group started in 2019, I’m alone.

5 - Can you provide us with more information about the new album "Kliwon"? Specifically, can you elaborate on its content and the deeper meaning behind the title?

The title is "Kliwon" or "Malam Jumaat Kliwon" in Indonesia, which occurs on the Friday when the Javanese weekday "Kliwon" falls. It is believed to be a spooky night by many Indonesians, but it is also considered a propitious occasion for self-reflection, contemplation, and connecting with the spiritual world.

6- Are the current members of Mud Spencer part of another band or project? Or is everyone dedicated solely to the group? How do you maintain a good balance working together?

I have 2 other “bands” or project, one “heavy trash punk sixties” influenced by early 60s sounds, and one other like “experimental space funk and grooves”. I organize myself according to the desire of the moment.

7- Have you performed any shows in your area? If so, how receptive and supportive are the people of your music?

No shows, as I don’t find musicians for that style in that area, places to perform and audience are not suitable for that kind of music.

8- Are there any upcoming shows or tours you can tell us about?

I usually sleep in my bed at night, and I only use an air conditioner in the bedrooms.

9- Thanks for your participation. Finally, what is the best way to get a hold of the group just in case someone wants to book or promote the band? 

Just email me at parkinson.records@gmail.com

Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings.
