Samir:How are you doing?



Di Lallo: Fine !

Samir:Can You tell me something about the band history of ANDRALLS ?

Di Lallo: The band was formed in 1998 and have recorded 4 albuns till now: Massacre, Corruption, Destruction... (2001), Force Against Mind (2003), Fasthrash Live 2003 (2003) and Inner Trauma (2005). Just one member has left after recording Massacre, Corruption, Destruction...(the drummer). Another albuns were recorded with the same line-up. The main gigs Andralls have played: Judas Priest Demolition Tour Opening (2001), Massacre Brazilian Tour (2002), Malevolent Creation – The Will to Kill Opening (2003), Fasthrash Brazilian Tour (2003), Exodus - Bonded by Blood Fest (2004), Inner Trauma Brazilian Tour (2005), Gordo Freak Show (MTV Brasil 2005), Brasil Metal Union (2005), Inner Trauma South American Tour (2005) and Noisethrash European Tour (2006).


Samir: What the word ANDRALLS means?

Di Lallo: Itīs the name of a building located in São Paulo, SP. In 1972, the most tragic accident happened with that. There were fire in everywhere. People jumped from the building to the death in order to save their lives. A horrible situation. Andralls wants to be like this fire, that burns everyplace with its thrash metal.


Samir: Do you feel the band has evolved at all from your first album?

Di Lallo: Sure ! Although we like our first album, we can notice this evolution at all. You can found more details and better compositions in the new ones, but the first album also is a good album of this genre.

Samir: How far along are you guys into the new album?

Di Lallo: Weīll have to play in a extended tour in Europe and next year weīll start composing and record a new album. These are our plans.

Samir: What is your best live memory ? And why ?



Di Lallo: The first gig always keep in our minds. When we played with Judas Priest we saw how a professional band works and it has been important to Andralls during its career.

Samir: What is the meaning of the "Inner Trauma"title.

Di Lallo: Itīs about the fear that humanity feels. When you scare about something. It can be a III World War, Challenges, Achieve something and more. This cover represents a new creature being created in laboratory and a doubt for our future.

Samir: Can You tell me something about the songs on "Inner Trauma" ?

Di Lallo: All of them are about the fear, but everyone in a different situation.

Samir:Is anyone from the band playing in another band?

Di Lallo: No, Andralls members just play in Andralls because we donīt have free time and we want to pay all out attentions in our main job.

Samir: There are multiple influences on Wounds. What has helped you to create this music?

Di Lallo: We play this kind of music because we like it so much. We think you canīt do anything if you donīt like what you are doing. Our influences have helped us to play the "fasthrash".


Samir: Which are your music influences?

Di Lallo: Andralls members influences are Megadeth, Slayer, Sepultura, Kreator, Nuclear Assault, D.R.I, Forbidden, Black Sabbath and others.

Samir: Any touring future plans?

Di Lallo: Yes, this year weīll play in a European Tour in October and next year our plans are to play in South America and Brazil again to promote the new album.

Samir:Where was that first show?

Di Lallo: Our fist show was in a small bar here in São Paulo, when we played about 20 cover and 3 Andralls songs. It was in 1998.

Samir: you believe in destiny?

Di Lallo: I believe, but just if you work with responsability for it happens.

Samir: What's your opinion about nowadays Thrash metal?

Di Lallo: There are great bands, but the most musics I listen have the same sonority, there are many copies.

Samir: When I listen to andralls, I could think a bit about band like sepultura. What's your opinion about it?

Di Lallo: I canīt deny this. We grew up listening Sepultura and even we donīt want this, something came up from our minds when we compose.

Samir: Can you tell me more about "Force Against Mind"? What is your feeling about it?



Di Lallo: Force Against Mind is a direct album. Itīs like a thrash metal must be, heavy and aggressive. The main idea about the album is that you can solve problems with intelligence and donīt need to use the Force.

Samir: Did you hear something about "KREATOR" when they played here in MOROCCO front of 20 000 persons?

Di Lallo: Really??? Wow, we didnīt know about that. It must have been a great gig.

Samir:so If you'll be invited to playing here in MOROCCO do you accepte about this invitation?

Di Lallo: Sure !!! Itīs a dream for us to play and know your country !
