Οι Ιταλοί METHEDRAS μιλούν στο ΗΧΩ

Welcome! Tell us your story and the idea behind your name!

Hello and thank you for the opportunity! The band was born in 1996 from the desire of the two founders Andrea and Massi (former guitarist) to mix two different metal genre such Thrash and Death, inspired from the bay area and the Scandinavian melodic death, with the will to grow more and more a personal vision of it adding some more different music ingredients album by album. The name Methedras comes from “The Lord Of The Rings” by Tolkien, it’s one of the Misty Mountains and it means pride, solitude and power. At the time it sounded good and one of a kind to our ears, so we decided to keep it!

What is the purpose of your band?

To grow a personal music which could be inspired by death and thrash metal, and to play our music in every possible place to let it be heard from fans.

How do you feel that you play your music out there? Is a dream that came true?

Having the possibility to play our music in front of a crowd it is something very power loading to us, in Italy and abroad as well. We do a lot of sacrifices to compose and record our music, so when you go on stage you want to release all that energy that you kept inside while producing a new album, to share it with the crowd.

Which is your latest release?

Our latest release is called “Human Deception”, it’s been released in 2023 and it was recorded, mixed and mastered at Fredman Studios in Sweden. We’re very satisfied to have work with them because the album couldn’t be like it is, the best produced so far by Methedras speaking about sound and accuracy!

Why someone listen to Methedras and the releases of this band? What is so special about you?

We always experiment something new and a bit different than the previous album to stimulate our creativity and to lead the music of the band somewhere else, I believe that this could be noticed by listening to our music and it is a great feature!

Give us one song of Methedras that will blow the mind of our audience!

I suggest you “Know It All” from the latest album, give it a chance!

Do you prepare any live shows till the end of 2024?

We’re gonna play in Greece 4 gigs in a row in October, and then we’re looking forward to 2025, stay tuned about it!

Do you prefer to play live or to write new music?

Good question! I like so much to create and to grow new ideas while rehearsing, but probably I love more the energy, the passion and the frenzy of a live gig!

Characterize your band with only one phrase!

Simply the thrash-death-killing-machine!

Thank you Methedras! Tell us one thing that you want to achieve with your band!

Thank you, big hugs to your readers, we’re looking forward for new gigs and music!
