Morketsvind interview

"The name of the band is Morketsvind !!!!" 

Devotees !!!
A brief and somewhat concise interview with this Russian band .... almost the bare minimum, but who cares.





How did the name Morketsvind came to your mind? 

Actually i think that this name is strongly situable for my mysic.I have Black Metal project Storhet avMorke and Medieval project Vinden. Morketsvind is like beetween thease styles.

Listening to "Wandering to Nether World" is inevitable seeing your great compositional capacity and the choice of a great sound, the medieval and sumptuous atmospheres are very engaging and sometimes even martial and imposing. Since you have been active since 1999 with the recordings, what inspires you to compose such great music even though there have been many groups that have already gone through this musical style through these years?

I like this sound and music, i always wanted to play this. And I dont care if any band leave their style or anybody dont want to listen anymore that kind of music.

I think over the years you've been witnessing musical and stylistic changes that happened in both black metal and dungeon synths, what has been improved for you and what has worsened? 
Actually i'm listen old bands and don't know about all changes in BM or DS, but i know that some new DS bands do great music now, BM are not mass style now, and this is good.

Do you feel that there may be a distinction in the dungeon synth field between those who have a more medieval approach and more film-like sounds than those who have a more minimal grim and darkest synth? 
All bands have differences, every band have own method, but if band have dood music material and atmosphere no matter film-like or low-fi that is

I see that there are different black and dungeon bands from Russia, at the moment there is a strong and autonomous stylistic movement in both black and synth in Russia? 
Do you still think that many groups are still underestimated in your country ? and that there is still some sort of “xenofilia” in following certain trends and currents? 

This moment is not simple. I think that if band is "wannabe" band, no matter if music slyled for foreign analog or inspired for local fluence, 
result cannot be good. If band have high and diip culture level and motivation, music will be strong. Yes, much of Russian band now have very good music 

How is nature able to influence your compositions? I imagine that the huge Russian forests and the enormous spaces of your country are in themselves an ideal environment




Yes, nature have big fluence on my themes, Russia have much different places, forests, mountains, swapms, seas, architecture. 
But not only russian places inspires me. 

The spiritual and the occult side of this genre does not seem as extreme as in black metal, what do you think about that?

Why? DS always was part of BM. Even sometimes like quintessence of BS spirit. 
I think that DS is most occult genre of music. 

There have been positive in the past relations between Morketsvind and record labels?  

My label is true underground BM label. 
Label want to do high quality releases for undreground

What do you think of this analog revival and the spread of tape cassettes again? 

Tape have more of sound commpression, sometimes it sounds better

Are you discovering new synth sounds and ideas that you think you want to propose in your future recordings? 

I am professional soundengeneer and i know how any sound makes. 
Anysounds will depends of curent ideas of future music. 

Do I find your recordings perhaps darker and worse compared to some recent ones do you think there are such differences?

All of my recordings had own ideas and realisation. 
Different people likes different recordings, i though.
