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 !

bands image to you?

sound, but also in their attitudes.
