Today's interview was with Supplices, a French band based on Black Metal. The band was formed in 2015 by the first singer Nosos and guitarist Svartabyss, who were obsessed with Black Metal and medieval history. In 2018, the band released their first demo, which featured a cold melody and a mix of vocals and black vocals, receiving widespread acclaim. In 2019, the band released their first official album "Alogie fun è bre", which not only used guitar, bass, and drums, but also featured lead singer Nosos playing the Bourzuki guitar. After the recording of this album was completed, Nosos has left the band. In 2021, G é vaudan, the lead singer from In Hell, joined the band. After the new lead singer joined the band, they released the single "Rex Franciae" in 2022. This year, the band released their second official album "De l'info â me et du tr é pas" on the French label Chapitre XIII. On the occasion of the release of the new album, the magazine contacted the band members for an exclusive interview!

V: 你好兄弟，很高兴见到你，非常感谢你参加这次采访，我想这是你们乐队第一次接受中国杂志的采访。首先向所有中国球迷问好。Supplices成立于2015年，是一支有11年历史的乐队。你最初是怎么组建这个乐队的？

Hello brother, it's nice to meet you and thank you very much for participating in this interview. I think this is the first time your band has been interviewed by a Chinese magazine. First of all, let's say hello to all Chinese fans. Supplices was founded in 2015 and is an 11 year old band. How did you form this band in the first place?

S: 问候，很荣幸能与中国听众见面。该乐队于2015年与Nosos一起成立，Nosos是该项目的第一位歌手。Supplices起源于对Black Metal和欧洲历史的共同迷恋，尤其是中世纪时期。在我看来，这种兴趣超越了音乐。多年来，我一直积极参与历史重演团体。首先是在9世纪维京人的背景下，后来作为一名骑枪手在13世纪的加泰罗尼亚剧团表演战斗示威。从一开始，Supplices就被认为是一种通过历史或象征性人物（如雅克·德·莫莱或圣塞巴斯蒂安）来表达过去回声的方式，他后来启发了乐队的一些早期作品。

Greetings, it's indeed an honour to reach listeners in China. The band was founded in 2015 alongside Nosos, who was the first vocalist of the project. At its origin, Supplices emerged from a shared fascination for both black metal and European history, particularly the medieval period. On my side, this interest went beyond music. I was actively involved in historical re-enactment groups for several years. First within a 9th-century Viking context, and later as a lancer performing combat demonstrations in a Catalan troupe focused on the 13th century. From the beginning, Supplices was conceived as a way to give voice to echoes of the past whether through historical or symbolic figures such as Jacques de Molay or Saint Sebastian, who later inspired some of the early compositions of the band.

V: 2021年你们更换了新的歌手？第一任歌手为什么退出乐队？新歌手是怎么加入乐队的？你对这位新歌手的工作满意吗？你替换了哪些其他成员？

Why did the old singer leave your band after a new singer was replaced in 2021? How did a new singer join the band? Are you satisfied with the new singer's job? Which other members have you replaced?

S: Nosos就像我的兄弟，我们之间绝对没有冲突。生活环境和个人机会让他无法继续这个项目。事情就是这样发展的，我真的很高兴他能够走自己的路。我们早期还有一位歌手，他和Nosos一起在我们这里呆了大约两年。然而，由于人类价值观的差异，我们决定与他分道扬镳。我不会再详细说明了。现任歌手Gévaudan于2021年加入，当时乐队需要更新。他是我非常尊重的人，不仅因为他的个人价值观，还因为他的音乐天赋。他融入乐队是很自然的，在气氛、意图和情感深度上都有一种即时的一致性。Omega当时是我们的鼓手，他经历了一段关于鼓的个人质疑期。直到今天，他仍然是我最亲密的朋友之一。然后我们让M.K.在鼓上演奏了两年。他在现场表演方面为我们提供了极大的帮助，并为专辑的鼓部分做出了贡献。当我们的艺术视野出现分歧时，我们与他友好地分道扬镳。这些事情会发生，这是经典乐队生活的一部分。

Nosos is like a brother to me, and there is absolutely no conflict between us. Life circumstances and personal opportunities simply made it impossible for him to continue in the project. That’s just how things go, and I’m genuinely happy that he was able to pursue his own path. We also had a second vocalist in the early days who stayed with us for about two years alongside Nosos. However, we made the decision to part ways with him due to differences in human values. I won’t go into further detail. Gévaudan, the current vocalist, joined in 2021 at a time when the band needed renewal. He is someone I deeply respect, not only for his personal values but also for his musical talent. His integration into the band was very natural, there was an immediate alignment in atmosphere, intention, and emotional depth. Omega was our drummer at the time, and he went through a personal period of questioning regarding the drums. He remains one of my closest friends to this day. We then had M.K. on drums for two years. He helped us significantly with live performances and also contributed to the drum parts for the album. We parted ways with him on good terms as our artistic visions were diverging. These things happen, it’s part of a classic band’s life.

V: 你能介绍一下你的创作过程吗？

Can you introduce your creative process?

S: 它通常始于一种氛围，而不是即兴重复段，而是一种感觉、一个图像或一个叙事片段。从那里开始，吉他和结构是逐步构建的，始终服务于整体情感方向，当然歌词也是这一过程的延伸。我写作的主要目标不是技术性，而是连贯性和强度。

It often begins with an atmosphere rather than a riff but a feeling, an image, or a narrative fragment. From there, guitars and structures are built progressively, always serving the overall emotional direction and of course lyrics come as an extension of this process. I do not compose with technicality as the primary goal, but rather with coherence and intensity.

V: 你的作品录音效果很好。你的专辑是在哪个录音室录制的？哪位制作人为你制作了这张专辑？今年新专辑的录制过程顺利吗？

Your works have excellent recording effects. Which studio did you record your album in? Which producer made the album for you? Did the recording process of this year's new album go smoothly?

S: 这张专辑是在我家录音室录制的，我还负责了专辑的预混音。混音由Omega负责，母带制作在Lower Tones Place Studio完成。我们关注每一个细节，有时会多次返工零件，以达到我们想要的确切氛围。我们的目标不是要达到现代的“干净”声音，而是要达到有机、密集和身临其境的效果。

It was recorded in my home-studio, I also handled the pre-mixing of the album. Mixing was handled by Omega, and the mastering was done at Lower Tones Place Studio. We paid attention to every detail, sometimes reworking parts multiple times to reach the exact atmosphere we had in mind. The goal was not to achieve a modern “clean” sound, but rather something organic, dense, and immersive.

V: 中世纪时期、诗歌、瘟疫、死亡、反宗教——这便是你们乐队的音乐主题。你们为何会选择这样的音乐主题？希望通过这一音乐主题表达何种情感？你们还创作了歌词部分。这些歌词是由谁创作的，又是受到了何种灵感启发？

The Middle Ages, poetry, epidemics, death, and anti religion - these are the musical themes of your band. Why did you choose such a music theme? What emotions do you hope to express through this music theme? You also created the lyrics section. Who created these lyrics and what inspiration inspired them?

S: 正如我在第一个回答中所提到的那样，我们与中世纪时代的联系源自于一种真切的个人和历史兴趣，而不仅仅是一种审美选择。这些主题使我们能够通过象征性的人物和历史事件来探索人类的脆弱性、信仰、苦难与崩溃。至于歌词本身，作品是共享的。我个人亲自撰写了部分歌词，包括"De l'Infâme et du Trépas"这首同名曲目。然而，我们目前的大部分文本均由我们现任主唱创作，正如《Thanatophobia》以及最初由Nosos创作的某些旧作经过重新修订以适应乐队风格一样，例如"Cercueil de pierre"。但当我思考我们共同创作的这些作品时，最让我感触良深的一点便是，每位歌词作者都将各自的伤痛融入其中。超越技艺或概念层面，将所有文本联结在一起的是某种更为私密的情感，而非影响或研究。通过这一主题，我们投射出了自己的灵魂。

As I mentioned in my first answer, our connection to the medieval era stems from a genuine personal and historical interest, rather than just an aesthetic choice. These themes enable us to explore human fragility, beliefs, suffering, and collapse through symbolic characters and historical events. As for the lyrics themselves, the work is shared. I personally wrote some lyrics, including the eponymous song 'De l'Inf â me et du Tr é pas'. However, most of our current texts are created by our current lead singer, just like 'Thanatophobia' and some old works originally created by Nosos that have been revised to fit the band's style, such as' Cercueil de Pierre '. But when I think about the works we have created together, the most touching thing for me is that each lyricist incorporates their own pain into it. Beyond the technical or conceptual level, what connects all texts together is some more private emotion, rather than influence or research. Through this theme, we project our own souls.

V: 你与Chapitre XIII唱片公司合作发行了一张专辑。你是如何联系到这个厂牌合作的？你对这个厂牌的工作满意吗？我发现你的专辑发行量很小，只有100张。你为什么选择发行限量版专辑？

You collaborated with Chapitre XIII label to release an album. How did you get in touch with this label to collaborate? Are you satisfied with the work of this label? I found that your album release quantity is very small, only 100 copies. Why did you choose to release limited edition albums?

S: 我们在Instagram上发布了一份声明，此前我在去年年中收到了许多关于Supplies未来的问题。当时，我也正从一场非常激烈的个人风暴中恢复过来。我觉得我欠那些支持我们并等待信号的人的答案。这就是我们联系的方式。很快，我们就感受到了价值观的趋同、共同的愿景，最重要的是，一种真正的能量。他们的热情给了我们新的动力，因为在花了这么多年时间塑造专辑之后，人们可能会开始失去动力或开始怀疑。我们主要期望的是与我们的理念保持一致的健康合作。到目前为止，这正是我们所发现的。关于数量，这主要是因为标签还在出现，当你刚开始的时候，发布是渐进的，这是很自然的。

We had posted an Instagram statement following many questions I received around mid-last year regarding the future of Supplices. At that time, I was also recovering from a very intense personal storm. I felt I owed answers to those who support us and were waiting for a sign. That is how we got in touch. Very quickly, we felt a convergence of values, a shared vision, and above all, a genuine energy. Their enthusiasm gave us new momentum, because after so many years spent shaping the album, one can begin to lose motivation or start to doubt. What we primarily expect is a healthy collaboration that remains aligned with our concepts. So far, that is exactly what we have found. And regarding the quantity, it is mainly because the label is still emerging, and it is natural for releases to be gradual when you are just starting out.

V: 你的标志设计很漂亮。谁为你设计了这个标志？你的专辑艺术品也设计独特。谁为你设计了这些专辑艺术品？他的灵感来自哪里？

Your logo design is very beautiful. Who designed this logo for you? Your album artworks are also designed uniquely. Who designed these album artworks for you? What does his inspiration come from?

S: 说实话，这个标志实际上来自一种字体，哈哈哈。它最初是2016年的临时标志。我想稍后重新设计它，但乐队成员和周围人的反馈促使我保留了它。现在，它已经真正成为Supplices身份的一部分，所以我完全同意。我们2018年Demo的封面来自一幅画：意大利艺术家Taddeo Zuccaro的"圣保罗殉难"。正如我之前提到的，这个想法是通过从历史中提取的意象来传达我们歌词中隐含的历史维度。我们的歌词从来不是明确的历史，我们只表达生活经历和内心感受。我们的第一张专辑"Alogie Funèbre"的艺术作品是由Isis Sangaré创作的，他是Magic的插画家，是的，是纸牌游戏。同样的方法也适用于所探讨的主题。至于我们的最新专辑"De l'Infâme et du Trépas"，艺术品是由Lilas Illustrations创作的。我们将其视为一条人类轨迹，讲述了一个堕落的农民僧侣放弃一切，试图赦免他所爱的人的沉默，即使这意味着放弃希望本身。从那里开始了一段宣泄之旅，在悔恨和强烈的痛苦的驱使下，你不断地往下拉。

To be honest, the logo actually comes from a font, hahaha. It was originally meant to be a temporary logo back in 2016. I wanted to redesign it later, but the feedback from band members and people around us pushed me to keep it. And now, it has truly become part of Supplices’ identity, so I’m perfectly fine with that. The cover of our 2018 demo comes from a painting: The Martyrdom of Saint Paul by the Italian artist Taddeo Zuccaro. As I mentioned earlier, the idea was to convey the historical dimension implicit in our lyrics through imagery drawn from history. Our lyrics are never explicitly historical, we only express lived experience and inner feelings. The artwork for our first album, Alogie Funèbre, was created by Isis Sangaré, who is an illustrator for Magic, yes, the card game. The same approach applies here regarding the themes explored. As for our latest album, De l’Infâme et du Trépas, the artwork was created by Lilas Illustrations. We treat it as a human trajectory, following the story of a fallen peasant monk who abandons everything in an attempt to absolve the silence imposed upon those he loved even if it means renouncing hope itself. From there begins a cathartic journey, driven by remorse and an intense pain that constantly pulls you downward.

V: 你的乐队在2019年发行了第一张专辑后，直到2026年才选择发行第二张官方专辑。你为什么花了这么长时间才发行一张新专辑？

After your band released their first album in 2019, they didn't choose to release their second official album until 2026. What is the reason why it took you so long to release a new album?

S: 这种沉默可以用一系列因素来解释：新冠肺炎、阵容变化、个人挫折和极度沮丧的时期。是的，我们几次差点分手。矛盾的是，将我们团结在一起的正是撕裂我们的东西：我们坚信我们承载着值得存在的东西，我们不想发布一部“低于”我们认为必要的作品。我们拒绝仓促行事。我们选择忍耐很长时间，而不是背叛意图。然后是那些与我们关系密切的人、前成员、合作者的支持，这种外部的气息会提醒你为什么要开始。这是必要的，因为它迫使专辑变成了另一种东西：不仅仅是“第二张唱片”，而是一部吸收时间、创伤、回归和放弃的作品，最终转变为一个成熟的过程。最后，我认为这次旅行是必不可少的。如果没有它，“De l'infâme et du trépas”就不会有同样的强度。

This silence can be explained by an accumulation of factors: Covid, line-up changes, personal setbacks, and periods of very deep demotivation. Yes, we came close to splitting up several times. What held us together was, paradoxically, the very thing that was tearing us apart: the conviction that we were carrying something that deserved to exist, and that we did not want to release a work “below” what we believed was necessary. We refused to rush it. We chose to endure for a long time rather than betray the intention. And then there was the support of those close to us, of former members, of collaborators, that external breath that reminds you why you started in the first place. It was necessary, because it forced the album to become something else: not just “a second record,” but a work that absorbs time, wounds, returns, and renunciations, eventually transforming into a process of maturation. In the end, I believe this journey was essential. Without it, De l’Infâme et du Trépas would not have carried the same intensity.

V: 首先，祝贺你们乐队今年发行了第二张官方专辑。你的作品对氛围非常挑剔，有缓慢的鼓声和缓慢的吉他声。你不追求速度，而是让缓慢的节奏驱动你的氛围。歌手的邪恶嗓音也让你的作品在黑暗的意义上更加突出。你对自己的工作有什么看法？新专辑和旧专辑之间有什么变化？

First of all, congratulations to your band for releasing their second official album this year. Your work is very particular about atmosphere, with slow drum beats and slow guitars. You don't pursue speed, but instead let the slow rhythm drive your atmosphere. The singer's evil voice also makes your work more prominent in the sense of darkness. What is your opinion on your own work? What are the changes between the new album and the old album?

S: 感谢你的反馈。正如我之前提到的，这段沉默期在我们内心引发了许多事情，正如我之前所说，我经历了一段极其困难的时期。我们的整个人类旅程改变了我们，我们不再和以前一样了。这就是为什么我不想急于发行这张专辑，而是想让它成为旗手。

Thank you for your feedback. As I mentioned earlier, this period of silence gave rise to many things within us, and as I also said before, I went through an extremely difficult time. Our entire human journey has changed us, we are no longer the same as before. That is why I did not want to rush the release of the album, but rather to make it a flagbearer.

V: 哪些音乐节邀请你参加？你能介绍一下当时的现场气氛吗？2026年你会有什么新的表演？

Which music festivals have invited you to participate? Can you introduce the live atmosphere at that time? What new performances will you have in 2026?

S: 我们将于2026年4月18日星期六在布尔日的贝里金属节上演出。这是一个由Chapitre XIII厂牌负责人组织的节日，我们将与Gorgon和Les Bâtards du Roi等才华横溢的演员同台演出。我们目前正在确认我们即将进行的现场演出。他们将在适当的时候公布并相应地通知你。我们将把这张专辑搬上舞台。我不想夸大任何承诺。但是，是的我们的目标是创造一种连贯和身临其境的体验，将听众吸引到叙事的氛围中。不一定是通过技巧，而是通过存在、密度、张力和讲故事。

We will be performing at the Berry Metal Fest in Bourges in 2026, on Saturday, April 18th. It is a festival organised by the head of the Chapitre XIII label, and we will be sharing the stage with talented acts such as Gorgon and Les Bâtards du Roi. We are currently working on confirming our upcoming live appearances. They will be announced in due time, and you will be informed accordingly. We will bring this album to the stage. I don’t want to oversell any promise. But yes, we aim to create a coherent and immersive experience, one that draws the listener into the atmosphere of the narrative. Not necessarily through artifices, but through presence, density, tension, and storytelling.

V: 你们是一支优秀的乐队，我会一直关注和支持你们的乐队。面试即将结束，最后你有什么想对你在中国歌迷朋友说的吗？

You are an excellent band, and I will always pay attention to and support your band. The interview is coming to an end, do you have anything you want to say to your secret friends in China at the end?

S: 非常感谢你的话，这意味着很多。我们真的很高兴能接触到远离这个项目诞生地的听众。如果我们的音乐能引起你的共鸣，那么距离就不存在了。我们希望我们的氛围能够以你自己的方式陪伴你，通过你自己的反思。谢谢你的采访。Svartabyss

Thank you so much for your words, it means a lot. It's really pleasant to us to reach listeners so far from where this project was born. If our music resonates with you, then distance no longer exists. We hope our atmosphere can accompany you, in your own way, through your own reflections. Thank you for the interview. Svartabyss
