Q1 For the record, who's answering the interview?
Hi, this is Alex Giraldo, main member of LETHAL FIRE.
Q2 What is your band's name? How did you come up with that name?
LETHAL FIRE from Colombia.
Q3 So who's in the band and what instruments do you each play?
Freddy Avila (vocals) – Manuel Buenaventura and me (guitars). Session members: Andres Suarez (bass) – Charles Hewitt (drums).
Q4 How would you describe your sound. What makes you unique?
The vocals are Death Metal, but the music is Thrash Metal with melodies and harmonies close to Heavy Metal. So I thing we play Melodic Thrash Metal.
Q5 What bands have influenced each of you?
Old Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer.
Q6 How experienced are you on the stage, a virgin or whore?
We are between virgin and whore, but we’ve played 1 or 2 shows per year, and some years none.
Q7 How would you describe your shows?
Our shows are shorts because we are an opening band, so we play almost always 8 songs. The singer speaks few words to play song after song during the little time on stage.
Q8 Tell us about your favorite show and why?
Our second show in 2004 we played with an old Colombian band called Neurosis Inc. there were a lot of people and the sound was great.
Q9 Tell us about your worst show and why?
Paradoxically the last time we played with Neurosis Inc again, I had serious problems with my guitar pedal, the sound failes for long seconds and my solos sounded awful that fucking night. That was the same day which Dio died.
Q10 Tell Us About Your Dream Show, who you'd like to play with and where?
My dream is to play in Europe at some open air festivals with any classical band as Megadeth or Iron Maiden
Q11 Do you have a street team and how can you join?
Sorry man, I didn’t understood your question.
Q12 Do you have a record label and if not are you looking for one?
I’m looking for a label. I’m grateful with Satanica Prods (New Zeland) & Zatanic Tony (Sweden) for their interest to spread my music, but I’m looking for more help, that’s the idea of every small band in the world to become known.
Q13 What are your plans for the future, in a year, 5 years?
In a year: to find a bass player and a drummer to complete the official line up. In 5 years to record another full length album and to play outside my country.
Q14 Finally, do have any words on what Arm The Pit means to you?
Thanks John and ATP, your support is very important for me. I hope to meet you face to face some day and shake our hands drinking some beers.
