Only time will tell if Dark Fortress’ latest record, Venereal Dawn, is merely a gem, or rather a masterpiece of extreme metal. But given the band’s musical progression and the presence of Morean (aka Florian Magnus Maier) and V. Santura (Victor Bullok on his birth certificate) in the line-up, we should have seen it coming. The former is a singer who’s making a career in the Netherlands as a classical composer. The latter is a guitarist, who’s been playing for seven years now with Thomas Gabriel Fischer, aka Tom Warrior; at first he was merely a tour guitarist in Celtic Frost’s last hours, who later became a founding member of Triptykon, a band that now boasts two albums unanimously recognized as great works of dark metal. In other words, these two are talented musicians.
But they’re also smart musicians, who are being honest and realistic when it comes to themselves and the current metal community. The long interview you’re about to read is extremely interesting on many levels. It helps us understand the efforts the band has put into this new album, but also helps us metalheads understand ourselves, and our connection with the genre we love.
