BLASFEMIA “Guerra Total” LP reissue out TODAY: an interview with RAMON RESTREPO! Part 2

Posted in Blasfemia, Interviews, Releases on March 24th, 2011 by Giulio Foad

Second and final part of an interview to Ramon Restrepo by Giulio the Bastard. Besides playing bass and singing in BLASFEMIA, Ramon is the frontman of raging hardcore speed violence RESTOS DE TRAGEDIA, and singer of total South American black metal piooners PARABELLUM (1983!!), so shrieky, lewd and horrendous to put Dead-era MAYHEM to pose on the bandwagon of  the “corpse paint” sissies….

GTB- What are you currently doing? Are you still active playing music and what is your current musical activity focused on?

Ramon- Currently I alternate between my metal band (Ramón solo) and the Hardcore unit Restos De Tragedia (RDT). I am working on my boxset discography collection which includes, among others, the CD with my other songs from 1989 that were recovered in 2009 and were not included neither in Parabellum’s or Blasfemia’s discographies. This boxset will also contain a book documenting the story of all the bands I played in. Regarding the other member of Blasfemia, drummer Luis Fernando Cano, he did not play with any any other group  after Blasfemia, and is now dedicated to his family and profession. Read more »

BLASFEMIA “Guerra Total” LP reissue out TODAY: an interview with RAMON RESTREPO! Part 1

Posted in Blasfemia, Interviews, Releases on March 21st, 2011 by Giulio Foad

To introduce the official street release date of BLASFEMIA “Guerra Total” vinyl reissue on FOAD Records,  we are proud to present an interview with original PARABELLUM and BLASFEMIA‘s lead vocalist/bassist Ramon Restrepo.

We are particularly excited about this re-release because, in the thrashy gold-digging tradition of FOAD, we have unearthed a seminal gem of pure EVIL transferred into music. An introduction to BLASFEMIA is necessary: forget all the preconceived Western stereotypes about extreme music, and try to clear off your mind, because the historical sense of this band cannot be understood trough the filters of others more institutionalized forms of black and death metal.
BLASFEMIA are as dark as the streets of 80’s Colombia, where drug lords and racket tycoons ruled the daily chronicles. As a consequence, “growing up wrong” and getting a guitar would not have necessarily created the same effect as it did to many more “fortunate sons” in other parts of the Western world. South America, and especially Colombia in the 80s, was a place where playing bestial black-death-thrash-war metal was a necessity, not a scene trend for cool death metallers. Read more »
