Interview with Caladbolg by...
Lord Glacial

TI cannot believe to my hears when for the first time I've listen CALADBOLG . The legend of pagan fires the pride of Celtics, the maledictions of witches and wizards , the power of darkness . Great technical and ,for me , a shining future for this Italian band…..they like a scream in the desert …. .


If this is a debut…it's a incredible debut . tell me the story of this black metal miracle called Caladbolg…
The stabilization of an ancestral band was real in September of '97 :Dumnorix (vx) ,Kheretrios (axe) , Bellovesus (hanner) . In '98 Tettbannach join the band that stars to improve old songs . the track "caladbolg" and the moniker was released in that period , at the same time we play local live gigs .

What's the origin of moniker ?
Well ,Caladbolg for the Celts is the key representing of the Sword that keep together British peoples , in the original meaning ,usurped by Christendom as "excalibur" sword .We found a symbol that can be union of all passion burning inside us :anger ,fierceness , clangs of ten past battles that echoing in our genes , raising powerful our voices to summon the gods and evoke the cosmic fire .

A peculiarity of your band it's the lyrics : a great concentrate of historical proud ,patriotism , legends ,bellicose art ,eternal values etc…please tell me more about the 7 songs of your opera ?
We specify that the last songs from the demo-tape are covers from most cult bands : "Tormentor " by Kreator and "Invincible force " by Destruction . About ours ,"Pale and proud" is the most fierce representing the might and the nobility fronting the wretchedness of our time . "The battle of Teutoburg" , as the title means , is a storic evocation of the claim of a daring spirit against the oppressing Roman state . "The christian latinity razed to the ground" : few words: the iperborean culture against the filthy catholic church : invaders , we'll slash them !! "An ancient celtic hymn" is the must meaning track of the "Cosmic restorer" concept : we feel part of the Senonnes-celts tribe culture ,living in our own region , time ago ,as well sung in "caladbolg" track : a hymn to the solar deity (Lugh) and to the millenary Sybilline mountains where it still dwells !

Do you consider yourself like a warrior of modern era ? How many values you received from your ancestors ?
Yes , we think that honour can tell a man what to do in his life , the short time given by the gods . Honour still pulse under our skin, gift of our ancestors that teached us that never bend in front of the enemy in the battle .

For the singer . I'm happy to read in your thanx a dedication to Nietzsche ed Evola ,the first I consider a God ,the second a great theorist and philosopher . What your opinion about both ?
First we must specify the Dumnorix , left the band for his own choice in September '99 , now there 's a new singer and he think on the same way of the band , anyway we consider Nietzsche as one of the most vanguard of human thought , a man that eviscerated our deepest reasons and laws to live , although any politic abuse .

Are you agree with the (absurd) racial and cultural integration that it's involved in mother Europe ?
I think that racial integration in Europe is inevitable for the economic and politic conditions we bear today , anyway , we think absurd the loss of religion and cultural integrity of any people . We watch sadly missing of traditions in modern era . Anyway ,we never stop to fight the christian hypocrisy : for them , integration is submission of other religions in theirs : as they did with Heathendom .

I think Dissection are one of most important bands for you . What your opinion about the facts which have involve the leader Jon Nodveit . It's just a error leave a splendour carrier to kill a gay ,and algerian , man ?
For a right judgement , quiet apart what the magazines saw , it needs to know what's inside in his head at the moment of the fact . Anyway we think that would been better he don't allow to be involved ,and carry on Dissection music ,not human flesh….we don't bend to involved in this shit !

I read somewhere that HITLER was a member of a Black Lodge and some people talk about Thule with regard to the 3rd Reich .Do you believe that ? What do you know about it ?
Quiet apart the existence of Ultima Thule right before the 3rd Reich ,we condemn any modern political abuse . What's interesting to us it's the military order that ruled the ancient tribes from father to son , the social harmony under the older monarchy that see druids ,soldiers and the king in the same battle , united in the same intents .

What are your source of inspiration in literature ,music ,cinema, life and death?
We are interested in Celts ,pagan literature and we listen all extreme bands black ,death ,thrash in '80 way but also Celtic and medieval music .

Death….the total end or what ?
Death is the life's reason .Nothing we do have sense without the end . The short time we have teach us to give voice to our belief .That's it ! Can you imagine ,as immortal ,we that live for joy ,hedonism and pleasures of life ? What boredom

! Do you play live and if yes ,do you have special stage ?
Yes , we played live with Detestor , Antropofagus ,Resurrecturis and many more and now at the moment we are organizing other local dates and one to Rom in September . We don't have special stage we want play with a good sound and destructive impact as possible !

Next steps and good luck my friend !!
Thank you Lord Glacial for give us this opportunity and hail to all Glacial readers , join us to fight the christian plague to restore the celtic pagan order !!
