今天采访到的是一支来自日本的Brutal Death Metal/Grindcore乐队瘧鬼（Gyakuki），2016年由歌手Ayato组建，当时Ayato想以一个妖怪的名字而且很容易让人记住的名字，但是大多数都是以英文为主，所以Ayato用日文为乐队取了这个名字，2017年乐队的第一张Demo作品“膿爛”发行，这张Demo作品发行之后便受到很多歌迷的关注，一张地下，嘈杂，残酷的作品，随后乐队发行了多张Demo作品，2022年乐队与来自日本的Gorevent乐队合作在日本一家非常年轻的厂牌帝 Production发行了一张Spilt专辑，今年乐队同样在帝 Production厂牌发行了他们的第一张正式专辑“怨讐記”，在新专辑发行之际杂志也与乐队的歌手Ayato取得联系进行了一次专访！

采访对象：Ayato（瘧鬼（Gyakuki）乐队歌手）
采访时间：2024.10.02
V: 你好Ayato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，首先跟中国的乐迷打个招呼吧，瘧鬼（Gyakuki）乐队成立于2016年，是一支已经走过8年的老牌乐队，当初是谁发起成立这支乐队的？瘧鬼（Gyakuki）这个名字是谁想出来的？
Hello Ayato 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 say hello to the Chinese fans, 瘧鬼（Gyakuki） was formed in 2016, it's a veteran band that has been going on for 8 years now, who initiated the formation of this band in the first place? Who came up with the name 瘧鬼（Gyakuki）?
A: 中国的朋友们大家好。我是瘧鬼（Gyakuki）的主唱Ayato，感谢您阅读我的采访，是我提议成立乐队的。取这个名字的主要原因是我想用一个妖怪的名字来命名，而且我还想取一个容易记住的名字，这个类型的大多数乐队都有英文名字，我们是一支极具冲击力的残酷死亡金属乐队。
Hello everyone in China. I'm Ayato, the vocalist of 瘧鬼(Gyakuki). Thank you for reading my interview. I was the one who suggested forming a band. The main reason for the name is that I wanted to name it after a yokai, and I also wanted a name that would be easy to remember. Most bands in this genre have English names. We are a slamming brutal death metal band.
V: 你们乐队在2017 - 2021年更换了贝斯手和吉他手，为什么第一代贝斯手和吉他手退出了乐队？新成员是如何加入乐队的？你们对新成员的工作满意吗？
Your band changed bass and guitar players in 2017 - 2021, why did the first generation of bass and guitar players quit the band? How did the new members join the band? Are you happy with the new members?
A: 第一代贝斯手、吉他手和鼓手都已更换。主要原因是他们的音乐风格截然不同，他们当初几乎没有练习过。他们对音乐类型毫无理解，也没有野心，所以我解雇了他们。现在的成员是通过成员招募网站和现场演出认识的，现在的成员几乎完美无瑕，所以我对他们非常满意和尊重。
The first generation bassist, guitarist, and drummer have all been replaced. The main reason is that their musicality is very different, but they hardly practiced in the first place. They had no understanding of the genre and no ambition, so I fired them. The current members met through member recruitment sites and at live venues.The current members are almost flawless, so I'm very satisfied and respectful of them.
V: 你们的每个成员都是创作极端金属乐的资深音乐家，能描述一下你们的创作过程吗？我相信你们的创作经验会激励很多年轻音乐家！
Each of your members are experienced musicians in creating extreme metal, can you describe your creative process? I'm sure your creative experience will inspire many young musicians!
A: 乐队成员在极端金属制作方面拥有丰富的经验，所有成员都参加过其他极端金属乐队，我负责大部分歌曲的制作。首先我会用DAW制作一个简单的演示曲和配乐，然后在网上与成员们分享。然后我们在录音室里演奏并添加编曲。当然其他成员也可以写歌，过程与我类似。
The members have a lot of experience in extreme metal production. All of the members are in other extreme metal bands. I'm in charge of most of the song production. First, I create a simple demo and score in DAW and share it with the members online. After that, we play it in the studio and add arrangements. In particular, I leave the drum phrases completely up to Nori.Of course, other members may also write songs. The process is similar to mine.
V: 你们乐队的所有作品在录音方面都非常出色，你们是在哪个录音棚录制专辑的？哪位制作人制作了你们的专辑？
All of your band's work is excellent in terms of recording, what studio did you record the album at? Which producer produced your albums?
A: 鼓是在日本一家名为void lab))的录音室录制的，其他部分则是在每位成员的家中录制的。
The drums were recorded at a studio called void lab))) in Japan, and the other parts were line recorded at each member's home.
V: 你们的Logo设计非常独特，你可以在复杂的图案中看到瘧鬼（Gyakuki）这个名字，这个Logo是谁为你们设计的？你们的专辑封面设计有非常浓郁的日本文化元素，这个专辑封面是谁为你们设计的？他的灵感来源是什么？
Your logo has a very unique design where you can see the name Ghost of Malaria in the complex, who designed this logo for you, and your album artwork has a very Japanese cultural element to it, who designed this album artwork for you? Who designed the album artwork for you and what was his inspiration?
A: Logo是我们之前的鼓手设计的。专辑封面是我画的，我在封面上画了我讨厌的人，哈哈哈。
The logo was created by our previous drummer. And, I drew the album artwork. I drew people I hate on the cover art. Hahaha.
V: 2022 - 2024年期间你们在帝 Production厂牌发行了和Gorevent乐队合作的Spilt专辑，还有你们的第一张专辑，你们是怎么和这家厂牌取得联系进行合作的？你对这家厂牌的工作满意吗？
Between 2022 - 2024 you released the Spilt album with Gorevent on the 帝 Production label, as well as your first album, how did you get in touch with the label to collaborate? How did you get in touch with the label to work with them?
A: 这不是合作，我是唱片公司的老板。我在自己的厂牌上混音、制作母带、制作封面、设计商品等。
It's not a collaboration. I'm the owner of the label. I mix the music, master it, create the cover art, design the merch, etc. on my label.
V: 首先祝贺你们今年发行了第一张正式专辑"怨讐記"，这张专辑以其多样的鼓点、简单粗暴的旋律和病态的演唱给人留下了深刻印象。这些曲目包含一些有趣的节奏和速度变化，给人带来有趣的听觉体验，这张唱片的制作非常出色，是一次高水平的努力，你对自己的作品有什么看法？
First of all, congratulations on the release of your first official album this year, “Grievance”, which impresses with its diverse drumming, simple and brutal melodies and morbid singing. The tracks contain some interesting tempo and tempo changes that make for an interesting listening experience. The production on this record is excellent, it's a high level effort, what do you think of your own work?
A: 谢谢，我几乎是按照自己的想象来创作这首歌曲的，我意识到这是2000年代初的粗糙混音，而不是现在的干净混音。
Thank you. I was able to create this piece almost exactly as I imagined it. I was conscious of the rough mixes of the early 2000s, rather than the clean mixes of today.
V: 你们参加过很多音乐节，有哪些音乐节给你们留下了深刻印象，能描述一下音乐节的氛围吗？你们今年还打算参加哪些音乐节？
You guys have been to a lot of festivals, are there any festivals that have left a lasting impression on you and can you describe the atmosphere? What other festivals are you planning to attend this year?
A: 印度尼西亚的音乐节最令人难忘，极端金属场景在印尼蓬勃发展，观众比在日本时更多，音乐会也很盛大，有很多人喜欢我们的歌曲，所有乐队的水平都很高令人振奋。今年的海外音乐节刚刚结束，我希望明年还能参加海外音乐节。
The festival in Indonesia was the most memorable. The extreme metal scene is thriving in Indonesia. The audience is bigger than you would expect in Japan, and the concerts are big. There are many people who enjoy our songs. All the bands were high-level and stimulating. This year's overseas festivals just finished. I hope to participate in another overseas festival next year.
V: 除了发布新专辑外，你们在2024年还有哪些新工作要进行？
What are some of the new things you guys are working on in 2024 besides releasing a new album that you can reveal to people?
A: 我们现在还不能公布任何细节，但我们计划明年在日本举办一次大型极限金属活动。
We can't announce any details yet, but we are planning to hold a large extreme metal event in Japan next year.
V: 瘧鬼（Gyakuki）是一支优秀的日本乐队，我是你们的忠实粉丝，你们的作品我都听过，我会一直支持和关注你们的乐队，也希望通过这次采访能有更多的中国歌迷关注、支持、喜欢你们的作品，在采访的最后你们有什么想对中国歌迷说的吗？
瘧鬼（Gyakuki） is a great Japanese band, I'm a big fan of yours, I've listened to all of your work, I will always support and follow your band, and I also hope that through this interview more Chinese fans will pay attention to, support, and like your work, do you have anything you'd like to say to your Chinese fans at the end of this interview?
A: 谢谢你了解我们的音乐，我们很高兴你喜欢我们的音乐，我们希望与中国的极端金属乐队一起现场表演，请随时邀请我们去中国，我们随时都可以去。谢谢你们
Thank you for knowing our music. We're so glad if you enjoy it. We want to perform live with Chinese extreme metal bands. Please invite us to China anytime. We can go anytime. Thank you.
