MEM: When was AB formed and why?
Nocu Delacroix: It was Early 2000 when I was still 12. I told to my two friend (past members: Sindread and Sir Whitewolf) that we could form a band and make music that we really like. Though first year was just training and planning. We just formed it because we wanted to make something special and unique music for us and for fun.
MEM: What kind of music do you guys play?
Delacroix: My personal opinion is that it has really unique sound in it. First we played by name The Reapers Guild and our music was melodic dark metal with some gothic melancholic sound in it. But when we changed our name to Alterblood we changed our music style to industrial sounding gothic metal.
MEM: What do fans mean to you?
Delacroix: They are our support and it's nice to know that a lot of people like your music even if we are just only indie band. We have a lot of fans and we hope that when we release our new EP we get more of them and maybe record label soon. *smiling*
MEM: What kind of EP will it be and when will it be released?
Delacroix: It will contain 3 songs. 2 more brutal like and 1 ballad. Also there might be surprise cover song *wink & smiling* And I dont know the release date yet but we try to go record it in september.
MEM: You are a new band here even you guys have been around a long time so how have gigs been in the past and when will you guys have more gigs?
Delacroix: Gigs in the past have been great, I personally enjoy every gig I have had and there have been those a lot. *laugh* We have had nice credit from those, though we haven't been touring or having any gig in long time now because of member changes. But we hope we can have a lot of gigs this year and next and so on...and get things rolling again...
MEM: Okay, so what kind of stage personality are you?
MEM: If you were a fan of your band, who would be the most handsome member in the band?
Delacroix: ME! *laughing Nach, the most handsome is really LTG who is our drummer. But how about you? *smiles*
MEM: That is interesting. In this situation I would say you. But yeah, who are your idols?
Delacroix: I wouldn't say idols but more like role models and fav. bands are Moi dix Mois, X
MEM: What does Alterblood mean?
Delacroix: It is a twist of two words. Alter is old and when you combine blood to that you get Old Blood. And that means vampires blood which is hundreds of years old and their blood is called Alterblood which is the disorder of blood.
MEM: Ok then, what kind of underwear subscribes your personality best and why?
Delacroix: Red with black, because....*long silence* ...they just do *smiles*
MEM: ...and last question, what are your hopes from the future?
Delacroix: That we can make music as long as we can and get more listeners and to get more gigs.
MEM: Thank you for your time and I wish you best luck for the future!
Nocu Delacroix: Thank you!
