A Q&A with Venice Revive
Symphonic metalcore with cinematic intensity…
What’s the title of your latest release, and what does it mean to you?
The debut album, Future Paradise, talks about how I dealt with the loss of my father. You can imagine the connection, without going into so much detail – the album is meant to help people deal with any kind of loss, and I hope picking that title would help.
What was the hardest part about putting this release together, and why?
Just money, honestly. I’m working alone and only in my 20s, so I’m full of creativity and motivation but low on cash. Paying for recording sessions and production was the toughest.
Who produced the release – what did they bring to it? If you produced it yourselves what do enjoy most about producing your own material?
I had help from Yam Levi of Revision the Dream and Alon Lifshitz of Her Last Sight, both amazing musicians from amazing bands. I learnt a lot from them.
What do you want the listener to take away from listening to your music?
I like to listen to music that makes me feel things – music I can connect to its lyrics and feel what the instrumentalists were trying to convey with their instruments. I hope I can make people feel the same way when listening to my music.
How does a track normally come together? Can you tell us something about the process?
Normally a riff comes to my head at 3am, which makes me rush to my computer to write it down as soon as possible. Sometimes I can continue the writing process, sometimes I wait for another moment like that.
What band/artists have influenced you the most since you started this project, and why?
Mostly old school metalcore bands like Trivium, As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage, because that’s the music I grew up on.
What countries would you like to tour? Are there any standout venues you’d like to play in?
Everywhere! Where there are fans, I’d love to play there.
If you could pick one track for our readers to listen to, to get a taste of your music, what would you pick, and why?
All of my tracks are different, but I believe the title track, Future Paradise, is the one where I expressed myself the best.
What ambitions do you have for the band/your career?
The more engagement the better. I want to fill out venues and have hundreds of thousands of Spotify monthly listeners.
Finally, as you leave the stage, what are your parting words?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you’ll like my music if you check it out.
