Предлагаю вашему вниманию интервью с Соней, которое взял Martin (администратор Латиноамериканского фанклуба Theatres des Vampires) 16.11.2010 года.

Оказывается, не только мы заинтересовались выходом нового альбома, потому что интервью появилось практически одновременно с нашим, на день позже. В этом интервью многие вопросы практически повторяются с нашими, но есть и такие, которые еще не задавались Соне. Мне не хотелось просто скопировать данное интервью и разместить на нашем сайте. Я поступил иначе: связался с нашими Латиноамериканскими друзьями и попросил их предоставить нам это интервью. На что, естественно, получил положительный ответ. Пока я буду возиться с переводом этого интервью, предлагаю вашему вниманию ознакомиться с оригиналом (правда пришлось немного грамматических ошибок поубирать и немного подкорректировать некоторые слова, чтобы было поменьше ошибок. Вот в таком виде вам его и представляю...

Hi Sonya, thanks for making this interview possible.

Let's start.

1.       The time is near the launch of the new album Moonlight Waltz, What can you tell us how was the process of composing music and lyrics on this album? What do the lyrics in this album?

Yes, the time is coming… "Moonlight Waltz” will be available starting January 14th, 2011 and I'm really excited, it's an important step in our career.

Our new album has a strong sound with a dark and intense atmosphere and it took us a long time to be realized. We decided to take our time without any pressure and hurry staying in Temple of Noise studio 24 hours for a day checking everything all the time, bringing something new every day because we consider Moonlight Waltz one of the most important albums of our career. It was wonderful and hard at the same time to organize all the ideas, writing down all the songs and all the lines for the orchestra, chorus and violins keeping intact our sound and at the same time expressing our deepest emotions with a new energy.

This is the reason why we decided to collaborate with the maestro Luca Bellanova for the orchestral parts and what we have produced from this collaboration is really great.

About the last album I dedicated some of the lyrics to the magical feminine seductiveness... Carmilla, Black Madonna, Medousa, three strong women with a charming and seductive power that drives the men out of the way. They are beautiful sorceresses but with a great sorrow in their hearts.

Black Madonna talks about Mary Magdalene, the sinner and the saint, the Holy grail and the harlot, the queen of mystery, the Salome…

Moonlight Waltz is dedicated to Christina Rosetti , a talented English poet that I love deeply. My words and her poetry "Is the Moon tired?" walks together to create an inn to the moon, my pale lover.

2.       How did the idea of inviting musicians like Snowy Shaw, Cadaveria, Breznikar Eve in Moonlight Waltz?

Some of them, including some members of the orchestra and maestro Bellanova, are close friends of us and it was great to live this experience together. About the other guests we greatly appreciate their music and we really like it. We also love their attitude and their way to interpret their music so we thought it might be a good cooperation having them as guest stars in our songs leaving them free to interpret our music with their particular style. Snowy Show is a great artist with an excellent musical intuition and a great executor at the same time. He really put his soul in what he does and he's a real professional with a strong, special and amazing personality. I personally love all his music projects. He sang in the central part of the first song on the album: Keeper of Secret. Luca Bellanova did the most of the male backing vocals and he’s really having a deep amazing voice. In Le Grand Guignol I alternate my voice to Cadaveria scream and clean voice and about Eva she sang a part in Medousa.I really enjoyed working with them.

We have seen the video Carmilla, personally I think it was the best music video of TDV. Why did you choose this song and how did the idea for the video?

This is our best video, I’m agree with you. We had a good staff that followed us in this project giving us their best.

I felt in love for Carmilla novel years ago. The character of Carmilla is charming, powerful, mysterious and seductive at the same time.

The Video tells a part of her story taken from the novel by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and our film director, David Bracci gave his interpretation of it with the help of the talented actor Abraam Fontana who also made the Passion directed by Mel Gibson …and the result is really…Theatres des Vampires...We filmed the new video in two different castles in the woods around Ceccano, an old small city not so far from Rome. These castles are really wonderful. One of them is completely abandoned and overgrown... This is a magical and obscure place.

3.       Will be the only video for this album?

We're thinking about a new one in these days…

4.       Do you have a favorite song on this new album? Why?

We just finished recording Moonlight Waltz and I appreciate every single part of it.

I like Carmilla because I personally love the story but there’re so many great songs in this album that it's really difficult to tell.

5.       Would you consider doing a live DVD of the next tour?

We'll surely do a live DVD of the Moonlight Waltz tour that we're planning these days with our tour Manager.

6.       How has it been for you to work with the recognized Argentine musician Beto Vazquez? He has told me great things about you.

It was a really nice experience. I like working with other artists that live so far away giving my interpretation of their songs .His albums are international projects that keep the metal music alive involving musicians from all part of the was a pleasure for me to be a part of it and our fans appreciated "Council of my Dreams” lot of…and this is the most important thing for me.

Question asked by Natalia Lujan from Argentina:

7.       If TDV had the opportunity to make a tour with a band of metal. Which band would you like?

Difficult question… there’re so many good bands all around, let's see what's going on next year …

8.       The last time TDV had to cancel many concerts in South America. TDV have fans from many countries here awaiting their arrival seamlessly. What expectations do during his visit to South America in 2011? This time the tour integrates more countries?

We had some bad experiences about the organization of South American tours in these years but the gigs we had at the end in Brazil and Mexico were really good.

This is the main reason for that we want to come again. We spent a great time there and We love you, our fans in south America are hot and numerous and they show us their love every single day, making fan clubs, forums, writing mails , sending us pictures and so on…we absolutely must come back visiting as much countries as possible and playing for you our new songs.

9.       I can't avoid making you a question about my country, Argentina, how do you imagine? Would you like to meet Buenos Aires and play here?

This is a land I want to visit soon. I've never been there before. I saw so many video and pics about it and Argentina is a huge country with beautiful nature and a beautiful culture, it's amazing. 

Me gustara ver las pampas argentinas y la tierra de fuego.. .I'll tell you something that I never said in any interview. My grandfather was a musician and he moved to Argentina so long time ago…he lived and died in Comodoro Rivadavia and now I have some relatives In Argentina and Brazil..

10.   How is being the only woman in the band? You had problems with this ever?

I don't care about this thing. It's nice to be the only one and it was also nice when Justine was in the band with me, she's still a great friend of mine and I had so amazing and funny time with her. My band is like a family. They protect me and help me in all bad situation, we always do everything together also outside the band. Sometimes it happens that I get angry because my needs as a woman are not completely understood... But I's perfectly normal. They’re men! Instead it's hard to have a little bit of privacy when we're on tour with other bands. But the love for our music is stronger than this and all what we want to do is to be on stage giving every time our best.

11.   At the scene of Metal, What is your favorite singer male and female?

I don't have favorite singers. I like different kind of voices and different kind of music.

I loved the voice of Peter Steele, Type o negative singer; he was a great frontman and a great singer.

I like Dave Gahan, Nick Cave, Mike Patton , Lemmy Kilmister, Ville Laihiala , Adrian Hates and others.

About female voices I love Diamanda Galas, Bjork, Janis Lyn Joplin , Tory Amos, Kate Bush, Tarja and more.

Question asked by Carlo A. Lira Gracia from Guatemala:

12.   What do you think if your life would never have existed TDV?

I was a ballet dancer and a fashion designer so I would have done something about my other passions…than I would have created TDV!

Question asked by Carlos Buensuceso Santos from Mexico:

13.   How did you get started in the addiction of blood?

We were all born blood addicted…we need blood in our veins to survive…Blood has a seductive and old power, it also represents the research of eternal life, the seal of ancient oaths, the royal blood, the descendants of blood…

And blood is life…

Question asked by Natalia Lujan from Argentina:

14.   Are you a lover of literature? What books do you read? and why?

I've read many books since I was really young… I daydream most of the time and I often lose the sense of all reality and reading the pages of my favorite writers gives me the chance to live another life for a while. I can read a big book in one night if I like it. They also give me a strong inspiration for my lyrics. I love poems, novels, I love Percy Bysshe Shelley, Wosworth, Emily Dickinson, Rossetti, Coleridge , Dante, Leopardi, Carducci, Foscolo, Polidori and more…and obviousy Anne Rice.

15.   I have read many interviews of you, and I note that you have a strong denial to compromise and to have children. Is there any reason?

I do not like those who expect something from me; I don't like compromise because I'm honest. I hate liars and all those who pretend to be someone else showing me a fake image. I want to be myself and I want to be loved or even hated for this.

But after all I'm romantic cause I believe in true things and true people..I believe in the eternal love..and the eternal hate…and I don't like the others children cause they really annoy me , but one day I will totally love mine…my descendant of blood..

16.   What was the most wonderful day of your life?

That day is yet to come…

17.   And what was the worst day?

Our life is made by several worst days…and we keep them closed in our hearts…

18.   We will continue to enjoy Theatres Des Vampires for many years to come?

Yes, I cannot think to be without them, I cannot live without our music. Our songs are our souls.

19.   We are about to turn the First year in our project of 'TDV Latinoamerica' I've seen and I am very grateful for the messages we leave you and the rest of the band on our MySpace and website. What do you think about it? 

We think you made a great work and I'm really enthusiastic about TDV Latinoamerica.

The layout is amazing and it's always updates...and you've got several pics I've never seen before about us!…this is a real fanclub attitude.

20.   We end the interview, you want to leave a message to fans in Latin America?

Thanks for your support and your never ending love, we promise to you to come back in South America soon.

Thanks to our fans, thanks for all what they have done during these years it is also because of you all and your strong support that we got here today.

       Thank you for giving your valuable time to answer our questions. We'll be seeing you soon!

Thanks guys

Bloody kisses
