Tomasz Wróblewski, aka Orion, has had a busy year. As a bass player with Behemoth, he released the eagerly awaited and largely acclaimed The Satanist in February, then went on tour for a year. Now, this time as the leader/singer/guitarist, he’s back with his own symphonic black/death metal band Vesania and a new album, Deus Ex Machina, seven years after the previous record, Distractive Killusions. The least you can say is that he’s had time to refine that one, and you can hear it in the overall dramatic quality of the record and in the extremely rich arrangements (including strings, drums, a harpsichord, a saloon piano, Spanish-sounding trumpets and various scary ambient noises). When you listen to this album, you understand where the richness of the latest Behemoth records comes from: it’s all due to keyboard player Krzysztof “Siegmar” Oloś, who’s responsible for the orchestrations of both Polish bands.
We’ve talked to Orion to shed some light on the years Vesania was on hiatus and the way the band goes about its music. And of course, we couldn’t fail to talk about Behemoth and ask for his opinion on Nergal, one of the great figures of extreme music.
