I N T E R V I E W
THE ORDER is a Classic Heavy-Hard rock band from
Switzerland and it's a cross between ex-Gurd and
Pure Inc. members. The band is located in Bern.
Well actually Switzerland was always a country with
numerous and great Hard-Rock Bands but replacing
Germany would be a quite strange thought. I mean
Germany is known for very successful Hard Rock and
Metal bands so I think it would be difficult replace
them. Let's say it this way in our country many bands
like this style some because of the money some because
they really like the traditional Hard-Rock sound of
Switzerland but The Order is in my opinion something
that sounds maybe a bit similar but it's far more
powerful and heavier and unique.
I would say Extreme, Skid Row, Dokken, Mötley Crüe and many more from the 70ies
and 80ies.
Well I started my career in Pure Yeast twelve years
ago when I was asked if I would like to join the band,
which later changed the name into Pure Inc. I never
really had a professional training I think if you
become a singer you know that from very soon in your
young age. I started singing when I was 8 singing was
always something very natural for me. I took some
breathing lessons to optimize the way of singing and
learn how to go along with my voice during the
concerts.
Well I don't think that my voice sounds like Sammy
Hagar's but it's a great compliment, thanks and of
course I'm a Van Halen fan I can't ignore that?
Well to be honest I think it's just a money based
reunion, that's why I don't dig too much the idea but
on the other hand I can understand that these guys
just wanna rock? though I saw a video and it sounded
horrible, sorry. The good days of Van Halen are gone
in my opinion and Sammy was anyway one of my favorite
singer.
Mr. Spring (Guit) wrote most of the songs or had the
initial ideas then we tried to put those pieces of
songs together and make of it a compact album which
compared to the first one this was more a band's work
an not only a Spring's work.
In the past I tried to sing more about the bad things
in the world, today, though I'm still a bit critical I
enjoy writing about the bright side of life too. I
think a good mixture is fair enough I try to give the
lyrics a balance.
Well it is the second album of the band but that does
not mean we haven't done anything before that. We're
in biz since many years now and I think it has to
sound professional otherwise I would be disappointed.
The first album was an adventure now it became a
mission, you know what I mean, in my opinion this two
albums are some of the best Metal/Hard rock albums
Switzerland ever brought to the masses, I'm not joking
and you can hear on the second album that this band is
a force we didn't evolve we made a rebirth of this
style in our country.
I don't care about the trend, for me is important to
listen to the kind of music I like and not worrying
about the style but there's always a trend who is
actually pushed by the media. I think most of the
people just fallow a trend because maybe his friends
are into that. It's all cheap publicity, there is the
year of the emo or Goth rock a year or two later the
year of brit-pop then again ska or what else, I don't
care as I said before.
I love Rock'n'Roll it will never die that's for sure?
I don't know Koritni that good, I think I played with
Pure Inc. at the same festival somewhere in Germany is
it the band from Australia? They sound like
Guns'n'Roses am I right? If so then I think we're not
far from their style.
I guess no I'm sorry. You know there's no much money
for that and we can't spend for buy-on shows it's
almost impossible but playing in France would be very
great maybe with the next album. Everything needs its
time
GO OUT AND BUY THIS FUCKING ALBUM, FOLKS!
