However, if a band tells you zero, or is not articulate on its own (not everyone has a nice website like Dolorian's), then naturally people would be curious to know more. I don't hold metal bands to a different standard than the rest of the world. If a phenomena interests me, than a media interview on it will interest me.<br /><br />Ideally, metal journalists are fans of the music, so interviews aren't that different from your Aarni case. When I interviewed Cannibal Corpse, I was just asking questions about what I was curious. Interviews are two-way streets. People can find out about the band, and the band can get publicity. In cases where I like the band, I don't mind supporting them that way. Well, you’re right in that interviews that don’t go beyond mere publicity aren’t useful or informative.

I love my favourite bands as much as the next person and have researched their histories to great extents, but in retrospect, all I needed to know was in the music, the aesthetics and the choice words by the band itself.<br /><br />It's exactly because heavy metal interviews are so innessential they have deteriorated to crap press publicity for 'the new record'.<br /><br />I've read your interviews, you're doing well even when you're subversive (like asking Cannibal Corpse about being humourous, a topic on which they've drastically revised their answer after metal became 'ironic cool' recently) but in the end they're really beside the point in my opinion.<br /><br />I enjoy the method by Finnish esoteric metal band AARNI, who answer their own questions, and also ask readers to send in questions for answering. Interviewing, as they say is far too serious a matter to be left to the hands of metal press journalists :P Yes, a real fan of the band might get very interesting dialogue going.

It’s exactly because heavy metal interviews are so innessential they have deteriorated to crap press publicity for ‘the new record’.

I’ve read your interviews, you’re doing well even when you’re subversive (like asking Cannibal Corpse about being humourous, a topic on which they’ve drastically revised their answer after metal became ‘ironic cool’ recently) but in the end they’re really beside the point in my opinion.

However, as someone who interviews bands, I think it's possible to do a good interview and find out information that the band may not reveal on its own. As Dolorian said, you just have to be in tune with your interview subjects and their work. Yes, asking a band like Dolorian about Eurovision is a real headscratcher.

Why ask Dolorian about Eurovision in the first place? The way I see it, if a band really wants questions answered, it should answer its own questions and put them on their website or such as a statement and be done with the idiotic metal marketing and press. Maybe this lack of exposure will bring about less sales... so what. Bands like Dolorian do not make their music because it'll sell well.
