I've been following Finnish anonymous "occult murder pop" band Cvlt Ov The Svn for years! I'm so excited they agreed to do an interview with us! If you haven't heard their stuff yet, go check it out!
Q: How did you all come together as a band?
A: This is sort of a one man show when in studio, but I obviously have a band with me when doing live shows.
Q: If you haven't already, do you plan on doing live shows?
A: Live shows are the number one priority that I'm working on at the moment. It has been somewhat a difficult task to get all the pieces together.
Q: What's your favorite snack?
A: My enemies.
Q: What made you decide to be an anonymous band? And will you ever reveal yourselves?
A: When shrouded in mystery, everything is more interesting to me. Also, I don't give a f*** about fame and I want to put the music first.
Q: What are some of your favorite movies?
A: I don't really watch movies anymore. When I was younger, I enjoyed titles like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "Pulp Fiction" and Bram Stokers "Dracula" among others.
Q: What do you feel is the biggest challenge you're facing right now as a band?
A: Well as I mentioned before, one is to get the live show together. In todays industry, the challenges are constant and it requires a great deal of will power to get shit done.
Q: What is your dream artist you wish to collaborate with?
Q: Hmm. Josh Homme.
Q: If you could pick one song to play for a potential new fan, which one would you pick?
A: It would be "The Pit".
Q: What can you tell me about the new stuff you're working on?
A: I've had quite a lot time in my hands during these past two years. You'll see, when I get it out. I am not here to disappoint.
Q: Do you have anything you want to tell your fans?
A: Have patience. It will be rewarded.
Q: What was the first time a piece of music made you really feel inspired and want to make your own music?
A: I can not recall specifically. "You Could Be Mine" blew my head off when it came out, but it took a few more years when I eventually picked up a guitar and started learning to play.
Q: What's your favorite thing about being in a band?
A: I think it's the feeling one has, when everything is said and done.
Q: If you were a salad, what kind of dressing would you have?
A: A lemon vinaigrette.
And then I remembered something. About two link years before she got her prized OP, I had effectively given her my Seiko SKX007 on the jubilee-style bracelet. I watched as she bonded with that watch, she brought it on vacations, wore it out to our dinner dates. For a while this was her watch link … but it was also my watch. I shared it link with her, it was ours. She even managed to put a healthy scratch onto the Hardlex crystal – something that can't be buffed out (though, she’ll deny it).
The watch should be light enough so that link it doesn't bounce around on the wrist (titanium or some form of composite are perfect) or leave cuts or scars in your skin from the crown. It should be analog and instantly legible (because at 25 or 30 miles per hour, a glance is all you get), and it should be confidently water link resistant, because for link a lot of us, cycling tends to be an all-weather affair.
But there is one specific series of link Speedmaster Reduced watches that always caught my attention, and those are the models associated with F1 legend Michael Schumacher. Dozens of iterations of the link Speedmaster Reduced link have been made with his involvement, and they all boast at least one design detail that's either loud or interesting, sometimes both.
