绝望充斥着我的大脑 - 法国Raw Depressive Black Metal乐队Laceration of Despair专访

Black Metal一直都有它独特的美，粗糙的War Black Metal，令人窒息的Depressive Black Metal或者其他风格的Black Metal都吸引了大量的歌迷，今天咱们就来介绍一支来自法国的单人Depressive Black Metal乐队Laceration of Despair，组建于2026年的Laceration of Despair乐队是由Caveau创建的一支单人项目，目前乐队发行了两张Demo和一首翻唱Forgotten Tomb乐队的单曲，Laceration of Despair乐队的作品特点在于在Depressive Black Metal的基础上加入了大量War的元素，让这支乐队在压抑的氛围上流露出原始，粗糙的感觉，乐队的唯一成员Caveau包揽了所有的工作，前不久Caveau与杂志取得联系进行了一次专访！！

Black Metal has always had its own unique beauty—whether it’s raw War Black Metal, suffocating Depressive Black Metal, or other subgenres, it has attracted a massive following. Today, we’d like to introduce Laceration of Despair, a one-man Depressive Black Metal band from France. Formed in 2026, Laceration of Despair is a solo project created by Caveau. To date, the band has released two demos and a single covering a song by Forgotten Tomb. Laceration of Despair’s music is characterized by the incorporation of heavy War elements into a Depressive Black Metal foundation, giving the band’s oppressive atmosphere a raw, primal edge. Caveau, the band’s sole member, handles all aspects of the project. Recently, Caveau reached out to our magazine for an exclusive interview!!

采访对象：Caveau（Laceration of Despair乐队创始人）

采访时间：2026.08.06

V: 您好Caveau，很高兴认识您，非常感谢您能接受本次采访。我想这是您第一次接受中国杂志的采访。首先向所有中国乐迷问好。Laceration of Despair成立于2026年，是一支非常年轻的乐队。您当初是如何萌生组建这支乐队的想法的？

Hello Caveau, it's a pleasure to meet you and I'm very grateful that you could participate in this interview. I think this is your first time being interviewed by a Chinese magazine. First of all, please say hello to all your Chinese fans. Laceration of Despair was formed in 2026, so it's a very young band. How did you come up with the idea of ​​forming this band?

C: 这其实是我第一次接受采访。我之所以萌生创建一个DSBM项目的想法，是因为我想表达一些在我的第一个黑金属项目“Soupirail”中无法表达的内容和情感——那个项目虽然也带有抑郁色彩，但在某种程度上却更具攻击性且更偏向传统风格……

It's actually my very first interview. I came up with the idea of creating a DSBM project because I wanted to express things and emotions I couldn't with my first Black metal project, Soupirail, which is kind of depressive, but more agressive and traditionnal in a way…

V: 既然乐队里只有你一个人，你可以完全按照自己的想法自由创作。你能描述一下你的创作过程吗？

Since you're the only one in the band, you're completely free to create according to your own ideas. Could you describe your creative process?

C: 我的音乐创作过程其实并不线性。我通常先有一个即兴乐句或鼓点的构想，然后围绕这个核心进行展开。我是一名自学成才的音乐人，所以我觉得我的创作方式并不算正统。

My process of creating music is really not linear. I usually have an idea of a riff, or a drum pattern, and then I sew around this. I am a self taught musician, so I think that my way of doing things is not really orthodox.

V: 到目前为止，你已经发行了两张试听带和一张单曲。这些曲目的录音质量粗粝未经打磨，非常符合黑金属的精髓。这些作品是在哪家录音室录制的？由哪位制作人负责制作的？

You've released two demos and one single so far. The recording quality of these tracks is raw and unpolished, very much in line with the essence of black metal. Which studio recorded these albums? Which producer produced them for you?

C: 这个项目我全程都是自己完成的，这也解释了为什么作品带有自制感和粗糙的质感。

I've done everything myself for this project, which explains the homemade and raw quality.

V: 到目前为止，你们一直都是自主发行所有专辑。甚至连首张试听带都发行了CD版本。你们有没有考虑过将来与一家知名厂牌合作发行专辑？

You've been self-releasing all your albums so far. You even released a CD version of your first demo. Have you ever thought about collaborating with a reputable label to release an album in the future?

C: 关于L.O.D，是的，我是独立制作的。在创立我的厂牌“From France With Hate”前的几周，我曾复制了50张首张demo的CD。所以你可以把它视为“FFWH”成立前的作品。我确实考虑过，但目前这个项目更多是凭直觉在推进，我不会对自己的行动反复斟酌。我只做当下需要做的事。不过没错，如果能与唱片公司合作推进这个项目，在很多方面都会很有趣（主要是能节省实体唱片制作和宣传推广的时间）。

For L.O.D yes, I've been independant. I've made 50 cd copies of the first demo, just weeks before launching my label From France With Hate. So you can consider that it is a pre-FFWH production. I thought about it yes, but for the moment this project is really an intuitive thing, I dont really think a thousand time about what I do. I do what needs to be done at the moment. But yeah, that would be interesting in many ways to work with a label for this project (mainly to spend less time for the production of physical copies and for promotion).

V: 你的音乐主题是什么？为什么选择这个主题，又想通过它表达什么？歌词是你自己写的吗？创作灵感来自哪里？

What is the theme of your music? Why did you choose this theme, and what do you want to express through it? Did you write the lyrics, and what inspired them?

C: 主要主题当然是围绕抑郁和绝望感展开的一切。但实际上远不止于此。如今我对虚无主义和享乐主义行为并不怎么尊重，我认为它们助长了最低级的生存方式。现代世界的一切都在推动我们变得虚无主义、唯物主义，并整体上变得无力（我们难道不是处于“卡利尤加”吗？），而我认为黑金属，甚至DSBM，可以成为在这个时期生存下去的一种宣泄，并倡导一种精神性。目前，我已经写完了所有的歌词，但未来也不排除会采用他人的作品。

The main themes are of course everything that gravitates around depression and the feeling of despair. But it's actually more than that. I dont have much respect nowadays for nihilism and hedonistic behaviours, I think that it promotes the lowest form of existence. Everything in the modern world is pushing us to become nihilistic, materialist, and overall powerless (arent we in the "Kali Yuga" ?), and I think that Black metal, and even DSBM can be a catharsis to survive this period, promoting a kind of spirituality. For the moment, I've wrote all of the lyrics but it's not impossible that I'll use other people work in the futur.

V: 你们的标志设计非常独特，以一把刀刃环绕乐队名称为特色。这个标志是谁设计的？你们专辑封面的艺术设计大多采用自然摄影作品，而第二张专辑的封面则呈现了你们的标志和一块沾满血迹的布。这些艺术设计灵感来源于什么？

Your logo design is very distinctive, featuring a blade surrounding your name. Who designed this logo for you? Most of the artwork on your albums uses nature photographs, with your second album featuring your logo and a piece of bloodstained cloth. What inspired these artworks?

C: 正如我之前所说，目前这个项目中所有工作都是由我完成的，包括设计标志。对我而言，黑金属本质上是精神层面的，而自然与之息息相关。正如法国形而上学家勒内·格诺所言，一切物质本身都是形而上学原理的象征性表现。因此，在自然中理所当然能找到精神（形而上学）原则的体现。正因如此，我发现自然确实极具启发性。至于"Fatigue"的封面，那块沾血的布料呼应了更传统的DSBM美学，体现了自我毁灭的行为……这其实颇具矛盾性，因为我不喜欢自我毁灭，但血液本身也承载着丰富的精神内涵。

Like I've said before, I've done everything for the moment on this project, I also drawed the logo. For me Black metal is spiritual in essence, and nature has a lot to do with it. Like the french metaphysician René Guénon said, everything that is material is in itself a symbolic representation of metaphysical principles. You'll logically find in nature representations of spiritual (metaphysical) principles. In this way, I find nature really inspiring. For the "Fatigue" cover, this bloodstained sheet echoes with the more traditionnal DSBM aesthetics, featuring self-destruction behaviours… It's quite a contradiction because I dont like self-destruction, but blood also has a lot of spiritual content attached to it.

V: 你今年发行了三张专辑，每张都阴暗粗犷，却充满氛围感，既展现了原始黑金属（Raw Black Metal）的粗粝质感，又呈现了抑郁黑金属（Depressive Black Metal）的氛围。你对自己的作品有何看法？

You released three albums this year, each one dark and rough, but full of atmosphere, revealing both the raw and rough feel of Raw Black Metal and the atmosphere of Depressive Black Metal. What are your thoughts on your work?

C: 我其实不太在意这些作品的发布。我已经做了我觉得该做的事。

I dont really care about these releases. I've done what I felt was needed to be done.

V: 你们计划在2026年开展哪些新项目，比如继续创作新作品或发行首张全长专辑？能否和大家分享一些相关信息？

What new projects are you planning to undertake in 2026, such as continuing to create new works or releasing your first full-length album? Can you share some information with everyone?

C: 我正计划与来自其他国家的另外两个DSBM乐队合作发行一张合辑，目前我们正在筹备中，未来几周我会就此分享更多信息。

I'm planning to do a split with two other DSBM projects from other countries, we are currently working on this, I'll communicate about this more in the next few weeks.

V: 虽然你是一支年轻的乐队，但作品却十分成熟且气势恢宏。我将继续关注并支持你们。也希望很快能听到你们的新作。采访即将结束，你们想对中国的乐迷说些什么吗？

Although you are a young band, your work is mature and grand. I will continue to follow and support your band. I also hope to hear your new works soon. The interview is coming to an end. Is there anything you would like to say to your Chinese fans?

C: 感谢您对 L.O.D. 的关注。向中国的 DSBM 乐迷们问好。

Thank you for your interest for L.O.D.. Hi to the DSBM fans of China.
