1. Hello, to start the interview, tell us what you do in the band, where are you from and what genre of metal do you play?
G: Hi, I'm Guayota, drummer and founding member of the Black/Death Metal band Muert, we're from Tenerife (Canary Islands), and I also introduce the songs during our live shows.
2. I listened to your albums, looked through the history of the band and Bloody Hell I am still confused who plays in the band. Can you explain it to us and me more clearly?
G: Of course. Muert’s hardcore are Ebola and me. We were some different bassist and live members through all this years.
3. Your bands from Spain accustomed us to fast playing, it's not Dissection, it's not Black Metal from Norway, it's not even my kind of playing or listening, but I admit that there's something in this madness, even rhythm. How do you perceive it? Why exactly in this way?
G: We perceived it as the natural evolution of the band, it be come more brutal and primitive along the way. Muert’s first album (Mysteriorum Prophanationis Sepulcralis) had a more personal Black Metal style, with classical lyrics of the genre. On the second album (Ahul Xaxo), we moved towards a Raw Black Metal sound, and started with the inclusion of lyrics about our aboriginal culture (Guanche) and his history. On the third one (Ye Canariae Abezan), it became a mix of Black, Thrash, and Death Metal, and including too, lyrics of the black legends about our archipelago. And in our latest album from 2022, the fourth one (Haeresis), we’re now focusing more on a Black Death Metal style.
4. Tell me about your lyrics, who writes them and where you get your inspiration from, and what comes first: the music or the lyrics, and what are they about?
G: Ebola and me write the lyrics. The only bassist who was enough time with us to contribute to the lyrics was Satur. In that case, always come first music, and after that, we adapt the lyrics.
5. Moving on to a different track: do you play in other projects and what is it like with the others from your band? and do you tour? if so, what is the reception from the fans?
G: Yeah, we do Tours, but at the moment, just with the regular bands: Muert & Cryfemal. The reception from the maniacs is always good! Not in vain we were playing 5 times in the USA, touring through Europe back in 2015, and in LATAM the last year.Yes, I have a several side projects, apart of both bands (Cryfemal & Muert). In Cryfemal I am drummer too, and I also introduce the songs during our live shows. This side projects are: Goat God (War Metal), Entierro (Finnish Death Metal) Nigra Eucharistia (Keller Raw Black Metal) & True Compromise (Youth Crew Hard Core) where I play drums and sing in all of them. Ebola had too their sólo projects, so it's not a problem between us.

6. A timely geopolitical question: what's going on in your country? There's a wave of protests rolling in. Does it affect music?
Our country right now is on da shit. A lot of corruption inside the leftist government. Uncontrolled immigration from Muslim countries, with violation of girls, robbery, and stabbing of people of here almost every day. And obviously our society is waking up, and getting angry against all that shit. Not too much, but for example, our last Barcelona gig was cancelled cuz the government of the hood where we gonna play, close the venue demand it the owner a new class of permission (which obviously he doesn't had), but the truth behind this is that they're fucking every small and medium enterprise to fall down their locals and build new homes for immigrants.
7. Thank you for your time: at the end of the interview, you have a moment for your fans, a message from the bottom of hell. Hit them with fire. Good luck!
G: First of all, thanks to you for your support and this interview.
