(Killer on the Loose Photography) SŪRU Excerpt - this is VERY LOOSELY translated.
The new album proclaims the end of the chapter. What kind of work are you creating? What happens next? We can reassure that our musical activities certainly will not stop, but this album is closing some of the creative phase, which began with the album’s first publication, as well as a certain ideological continuity.  The new phase of our vision is somewhat different - changing musical currents - and are looking for different approaches to the same sound.Â
Obviously, the black metal scene (as indeed many others) have recently mutated. There are interesting groups of black metal beats with shoegaze (Deafheaven), blues (Zeal and Ardor) or Orthodox chants (Batushka). What do you think is the future of the genre and what is Au-Dessus' plans associated with that?
The mutation of black metal is reassuring in these times, as black metal is music that anyone can interpret, expand, or change their perception and emotion with. This is music that is based on emotion, so any quest is a positive phenomenon. What will change our work remains to be seen. We do not want to talk a lot about it - the better to signify the music. However, now you can feel the blues, stoner, sludge, and post-metal influences in our work. Black metal - quite depressed and aggressive music. what are your pop music guilty pleasures? Those guilty pleasures often depends on the displacement of tours and parties, but often sounds like Madonna, Scooter, Prodigy, Modern Talking, Alphaville, OMD and other classics, which perfectly supports black metal mood (...) and inspire new creativity.Â
