我被整个世界遗忘 - 意大利Groove / Doom / Alternative Metal乐队Beraht专访

从Black Sabbath奠定Doom Metal阴暗基因，到Pantera等乐队推动Groove Metal的发展，金属音乐始终在重量、情绪与精神表达之间寻找新的可能。来自意大利塔兰托的Beraht，将Groove Metal的强烈律动、Doom Metal的压迫氛围以及Alternative Metal的实验精神融合在一起，用低沉厚重的声音探索现代人的内心冲突与存在困境。 本次采访中，我们将深入了解 Beraht的音乐哲学、创作理念，以及他们如何通过金属表达属于自己的声音。

（V: 代表笔者 B: 代表Beraht乐队）

From Black Sabbath establishing the dark foundation of Doom Metal, to bands like Pantera pushing the evolution of Groove Metal, metal music has always been searching for new possibilities between heaviness, emotion, and spiritual expression. Hailing from Taranto, Italy, Beraht combines the powerful grooves of Groove Metal, the oppressive atmosphere of Doom Metal, and the experimental spirit of Alternative Metal, using a deep and heavy sound to explore inner conflicts and existential struggles in modern life. In this interview, we will dive into Beraht’s musical philosophy, creative vision, and how they use metal to express their own unique voice.

V: Beraht成立于2024年，作为一支相对年轻的乐队，你们最初组建的契机是什么？是什么样的音乐理念让几位成员走到了一起？

Beraht was formed in 2024. As a relatively young band, what was the original motivation behind forming the band? What kind of musical ideas or beliefs brought the members together?

B: 我们相信一切皆有因果。生活不断给予我们机会去创造美好的事物，让我们遇到那些我们原本以为不会有任何共同之处的人。这个项目源于Steph和Roberto（乐队的两位吉他手）的想法，他们“偶然”在一家他们曾经演奏的酒吧相遇。起初，他们翻唱自己喜欢的曲目，但这总让他们觉得不够。他们感到需要一些真正属于自己的东西，一些能够更深层次地代表他们的东西：于是，他们萌生了组建乐队的想法。在接下来的一年里，他们完成了乐队的组建，加入Alessio（主唱）、Andrea（贝斯）和Nick（鼓手）。最初，我们并没有一个清晰的项目发展方向，我们只是想通过我们所知的最强大的媒介——音乐——来表达自己。在项目的第一年，创作了如今收录于《我渴望消失》专辑中的歌曲之后，我们不断成长和演变，最终形成了我们现在所定义的“Beraht”。我们厌倦了试图被特定的定义或标签束缚，我们只想做我们自己。

We believe that everything happens for a reason. Life constantly gives us opportunities to create wonderful things by letting us meet people with whom we would have never thought to have anything in common. This project sprouted from the minds of Steph and Roberto (the two guitarists of the band), who “randomly” met in a pub where they used to play. They started out by covering their favourite pieces, but that never felt like enough. They felt the need for something authentic, something that could represent them on a deeper level: hence the idea to form a band. During the following year they were able to complete the formation with Alessio (vocals), Andrea (bass) and Nick (drums). Initially, we didn’t have a clear idea of the direction in which to push the project, we all just wanted to express ourselves through the strongest medium we knew: music. During the first year of the project, while composing the songs that are now part of “I Long to Disappear”, we grew and evolved into what we can now define as “Beraht”. We had enough of trying to fall under specific definitions or labels, we just wanted to be us.

V: Beraht的音乐融合了Groove Metal、Doom Metal与Alternative Metal。你们认为这些风格之间最大的共同点是什么？为什么选择这种结合方式？

Beraht’s music combines Groove Metal, Doom Metal, and Alternative Metal. In your opinion, what are the biggest similarities between these genres? Why did you choose to merge these different styles together?

B: 我们每个人都将自己的音乐影响融入到这个项目中。当我们意识到这一点时，我们并没有刻意地将所有元素融合到单一的音乐类型中，而是尽可能地给予自己自由，同时远离混乱，我们真心认为这非常成功。这些音乐类型在表面上都像是金属音乐的巨擘，但同时又都包含着更加尖锐和充满情感的元素。我们通过融合Metalcore和Grunge音乐的元素，找到了理想的配方，这赋予了我们一种旋律性更强、也常常带有怀旧气息的声音。

Each one of us brought their musical influences into this project.When we realised this, we didn’t voluntarily try to merge everything into one genre, we tried to give ourselves as much freedom as possible while steering far from the chaos, and we honestly think it worked perfectly. These genres can be similar in their way of appearing like monoliths of metal music, while still including all the more incisive and emotional aspects. We found our ideal formula by mixing it all with elements from metalcore and grunge music, which gave us a more melodic and oftentimes nostalgic sound.

V: 回顾金属音乐的发展历史，从 Black Sabbath 的阴暗重量，到90年代另类金属浪潮，再到现代极端音乐的发展，你们认为哪些历史阶段或乐队对 Beraht 的声音产生了重要影响？

Looking back at the history of metal music — from the dark heaviness of Black Sabbath, to the Alternative Metal wave of the 1990s, and the development of modern extreme metal — which periods, bands, or movements have had the greatest influence on Beraht’s sound?

B: 正如之前所说，我们每个人参与这个项目时都受到了截然不同的影响。你可以清楚地听到吉他部分有Pantera和Arch Enemy的影子，贝斯部分有Black Sabbath和Primus的风格，人声部分则融合了Lorna Shore和Alice in Chains的元素，至于鼓点，基本上包罗万象。

As said before, we all came into this project with radically different influences. You can clearly hear some Pantera and Arch Enemy in the guitar department, some Black Sabbath and Primus in our bass lines, from Lorna Shore to Alice in Chains in the vocals and, well, basically anything and everything in the drums.

V: Doom Metal通常与孤独、绝望、死亡、存在主义等主题联系在一起，而律动金属则更强调力量和身体感。对于 Beraht 来说，你们如何平衡“沉重”与“力量”之间的关系？

Doom Metal is often associated with themes such as loneliness, despair, death, and existentialism, while Groove Metal emphasizes power and physical impact. For Beraht, how do you balance the relationship between “heaviness” and “strength” in your music?

B: （摘自Alessio的自述）在我们所借鉴的各种音乐类型的常见主题之间找到一个好的平衡点，是我最初的挑战之一。然而，我很快意识到，我不需要将我的作品置于他人过去设定的标准之下，我有机会创作属于我自己的东西。因此，我抓住了这个机会，将我的灵魂融入了我们的歌词中。你能感受到我写作时内心的矛盾，所有的疑虑、缺失的部分、内疚、羞愧，以及害怕好转的恐惧。我可以自信地说，将这些感受诉诸文字，谱写成诗句，真的帮助我看到了它们背后的意义。

(from Alessio) Trying to find a good compromise between the usual themes of the genres we were stemming from was one of the initial struggles for me. However, I soon realised that I didn’t need to submit my writing to standards that someone else set in the past,I had the occasion to create something of my own. Thus I seized the opportunity and basically transcribed my soul into our lyrics. You can feel the contradictions I had inside when writing, all the doubts, the missing parts, the guilt, the shame, and that fear of feeling better. I can confidently say that putting those feelings into words, into verses, really helped me see something past them.

V: Alternative Metal 传统上鼓励突破固定框架。对于 Beraht 来说，“不被定义”是否也是音乐创作中的重要态度？

Alternative Metal has traditionally encouraged breaking away from established boundaries. For Beraht, is the idea of “not being defined” also an important attitude in your creative process?

V: 当然。我们每次创作，都不会从“写一首像X一样的歌”这样的原则出发。我们的方法是提出想法，分析它们，然后找到方法，将我们每个人的个人经历融入其中。你永远无法预料，当你按下播放键，聆听一首Beraht的歌曲时，会听到什么。

Absolutely. Everytime we compose, we never start from the principle of “writing a song like X”. Our method is to propose ideas, analyze them and find ways of putting something personal from each one of us. You’ll never know what to expect when you hit play on a Beraht song.

V: 在创作过程中，你们通常是先产生一个音乐氛围，还是先有歌词与想表达的主题？

During the songwriting process, do you usually begin with a musical atmosphere, or do you start with lyrics and the themes you want to express?

B: 这要看情况。大多数时候，我们先从Steph或Andrea的即兴演奏开始，以此为基础，Alessio再填词。但有时，由于Alessio也会弹吉他，他会写出完整的歌曲结构（与他的歌词相符），然后我们就开始创作。

It depends. Most of the times we start from riffs by Steph or Andrea, forming a base on which Alessio can write his lyrics. But sometimes, since Alessio can also play the guitar, he writes a complete structure for a song (matching his lyrics) and we begin our

V: Beraht 拥有双吉他配置。在编曲过程中，两把吉他如何分工？你们更倾向于创造厚重墙式音墙，还是通过不同音色形成空间层次？

Beraht features a dual-guitar setup. How do the two guitars divide their roles during the arrangement process? Do you prefer creating a massive wall of sound, or building layers of space through different tones and textures?

B: 编曲过程主要由Steph负责，但显然他并非孤军奋战。Roberto通常会提出那些颠覆性的想法，让我们能够推动歌曲向前发展。关于吉他部分的划分，你可以在我们的专辑中找到各种各样的元素。有些段落我们玩得很开心，营造出强烈的音墙，但也有很多段落我们尝试了和声，或者在清音和失真音色之间进行对比。最好的例子可以在"Mourn in Fear"中找到。这首歌的第一部分是清音琶音，随后过渡到失真吉他。最后一部分则完全相反：失真琶音，随后过渡到清音主音。

It is mainly Steph who supervises the arrangement process, but obviously he doesn’t operate alone. Roberto usually comes up with that subversive idea that allows us to push the song forward. Regarding the partition of guitar parts, you can find a bit of everything in our album. There are some sections where we had a lot of fun creating nasty walls of sound, but there are just as many parts where we experimented with harmonization or contrast between clean and distorted sounds. The best example can be found in “Mourn in Fear”. The first section of the song features a clean arpeggio that is later reached by a distorted guitar. The last section is the exact opposite: a distorted arpeggio reached by a clean lead.

V: Groove Metal 的核心之一是强烈的节奏律动。你们在设计 Riff 时，会如何寻找既具有攻击性又能够让听众产生身体共鸣的节奏？

One of the key elements of Groove Metal is its powerful rhythmic drive. When creating riffs, how do you search for rhythms that are both aggressive and capable of creating a physical response from listeners?

B: （来自 Steph）我创作即兴曲时，最能激发我灵感的，通常是我的心情。我在音乐学院的学习和音乐理论知识当然很有帮助，但说实话，我更喜欢让我的直觉引导我。如果规则太多，疑虑太多，我最终只会停滞不前。

(from Steph) What most inspires me in creating riffs, oftentimes, is my mood. My music conservatory studies and knowledge of music theory certainly helps a lot, but, honestly, I prefer letting my instinct guide me. With too many rules and doubts I would just end up stalling.

V: Doom Metal通常依靠低调弦、缓慢速度以及巨大音墙制造压迫感。你们在吉他音色设计方面有哪些特别追求？

Doom Metal often creates a sense of oppression through down-tuned guitars, slow tempos, and massive walls of sound. What are your specific goals or preferences when designing guitar tones?

B: 我们在创作吉他音色时的主要目标始终如一：那就是在不牺牲清晰度和辨识度的前提下，尽可能地营造出极具冲击力的音色。我们无法局限于单一的音色，因此我们尝试将我们所钟爱的不同音乐流派的元素融合在一起，这些流派也正是我们音乐风格的精髓所在。

Our main objective when creating our guitar sounds has always been one: making it sound as aggressive as possible without losing on intelligibility or on the capacity of the sound to leave a mark. We couldn't just adhere to one sound, thus we tried to bring together the elements we loved in the different genres that characterize us.

V: 在创作过程中，Riff 对于 Beraht 来说意味着什么？一个优秀的 Riff 应该具备哪些元素？

During the creative process, what does a riff represent for Beraht? In your opinion, what elements make a riff truly memorable and powerful?

B: 说实话？如果我们发现一段riff演奏起来既有趣又能让我们控制并释放自己的情绪，那它就是对的！而让这些riff如此令人难忘、如此震撼人心的，是我们的人肉鼓机Nick，以及Alessio极具感染力的嗓音(有时他的嗓音与riff几乎形成鲜明对比，比如在“Iura”的第三部分），还有Andrea强劲的贝斯线条。

Honestly? If we find that a riff is fun to play while containing and venting our emotions, then it’s the right one! What then makes them so memorable and powerful is our humandrum-machine Nick and the impact of Alessio’s vocals (which sometimes feel almost contradictory with the riff, like in the third section of “Iura”) and Andrea’s potent bass lines.

V: 鼓与贝斯在你们音乐中承担怎样的角色？你们如何让低频部分既厚重又保持清晰度？

What roles do drums and bass play in Beraht’s music? How do you maintain a low-end sound that is both heavy and clear?

鼓和贝斯是我们歌曲的骨架。Nick赋予我们的即兴演奏以个性，使它们更具活力，而 Andrea 总能与他心领神会，共同构建歌曲紧凑而浑然一体的框架。"Fragile and Near"就是这一过程的绝佳例证。（Nick 说）显然，一切都始于我和 Andrea 找到一个契合歌曲的律动。也就是说，我总是尝试用鼓来配合吉他即兴演奏或人声旋律，这样整个乐队的节奏就会更加紧密，而不是把“律动粘合”的任务完全交给贝斯。然后，在混音方面，我总是会寻找底鼓和贝斯的低频响应，并将它们平衡到一个强劲的平衡状态。使它们不会相互冲突，而是相互补充。

Both the drums and the bass are the backbone of our songs. Nick is the one who gives character to our riffs, making them more energetic, while Andrea always manages to intuitively travel alongside him, creating a compact and monolithic skeleton for the song (“Fragile and Near” is a prime example of this process”) (from Nick) It obviously starts from me and Andrea locking in to a groove that already works for the song (i.e. I always try to follow the guitar riff or the vocal line with the drums so that the whole ensemble feels much more glued together without leaving the "groove-glueing job” only to the bass). Then, mixing wise, I always look for the low-end response of the kick and the bass to then balance them into a powerful equilibrium in which they don't interact destructively but they instead complement.

V: 现代金属制作越来越强调精准和高质量声音，但很多经典金属作品也保留粗粝感。你们如何看待“现代制作”与“地下精神”之间的关系？

Modern metal production increasingly emphasizes precision and high-quality sound, while many classic metal records preserve a raw and rough character. How do you view the relationship between “modern production” and the “underground spirit”?

B: （尼克自述）：就像世间万物一样，每种风格都有其优缺点。而我，由于对古典音乐和现代音乐都充满热情，所以我努力汲取两者的精华。对我而言，既是乐队的主制作人，又是乐队的活跃成员，这既能帮助我强调我们演奏的原始感，又能以一种既强劲有力又现代的方式塑造它。在我看来，如果许多现代乐队能够更多地尝试不同的音乐风格，摆脱行业标准的束缚，他们的音乐听起来会更加出色，更具艺术性（或者说，更具原创性）。这种“原始的古典”与“高品质的现代”之间的平衡，正是艺术家或乐队得以丰满的关键所在，因为它既保留了传统，又经历了进步和创新，使一切都保持新鲜感和独特性。这种二元性是我们艺术创作的指导原则之一，它帮助我们摒弃偏见和狭隘的思维。我们可以从Knocked Loose过渡到Pink Floyd，再到 Aphex Twins和Skrillex，同时演奏一段带有Loathe风格的Black Sabbath式乐段，哈哈。

(from Nick): Like anything in the world, there are good things and bad things about each of these styles and, sinceI'm so passionate about older and more modern music at the same time, I try to get the best from both worlds. For me, being the main producer while also being an active member of the band helps me both emphasize the rawness of our playing and shape it in a way that makes it really powerful and modern. In my opinion, if a lot of modern bands just experimented more with their sound and left behind industry standards, would sound even better and more artistically full (more original, so to speak).This relationship between the "raw old times" and the "high quality modern days" is really what makes an artist or a band full, because it preserves the tradition while going through progress and innovation, keeping everything fresh and new while also having a recognizable color. This dualism is one of the things that guides us artistically, removing pre-judices and close-minded thought. We could go from Knocked Loose to Pink Floyd, through Aphex Twins and Skrillex while playing a Black Sabbath style part with a Loathe sound, ahah.

V: 作为一支新成立的乐队，未来 Beraht 最希望在哪些方面突破自己？

As a newly formed band, what areas does Beraht hope to improve or break through in the future?

B: 我们最大的愿望就是让我们的音乐被尽可能多的人听到。我们只是五个乐于做自己喜欢的事的家伙。我们希望永远不要停止演奏，并随着音乐的成长不断进步，目标是登上越来越大的舞台，同时探索这段旅程所揭示的所有新现实。

Our biggest desire is for our music to reach as many people as possible. We’re just five guys that have fun doing what they do. We hope to never stop playing and growing alongside our music, with the objective of stepping on biger and bigger stages while exploring all the new realities that our journey reveals.

V: 你们希望未来的作品继续深入 Groove/Doom/Alternative Metal 的方向，还是会尝试更多新的音乐元素？

Do you plan to continue exploring the direction of Groove/Doom/Alternative Metal in your future releases, or are you interested in incorporating more new musical elements?

B: 不可否认，我们在Doom/Groove/Alternative Metal（或者像我们在现场演出中开始称呼的那样Groovecore）中找到了平衡点，但是……谁知道呢？正如之前所说，我们从未给自己的音乐设限，现在当然也不会。我们会不断发展和探索，谁知道你们会在我们的未来作品中发现什么呢！

It is undeniable that we found our balance point in Doom/Groove/Alternative Metal (or Groovecore, as we began calling it at our live shows), but… Who knows? As said previously, we never imposed any limits on our music, and we surely won’t start doing it now. We will keep evolving and exploring, who knows what you’ll find in our future releases!

V: 对于第一次接触 Beraht 的听众，你们最希望他们记住乐队的哪一点？

For listeners who are discovering Beraht for the first time, what is the one thing you hope they will remember most about the band?

B: 我们真心希望，当有人第一次聆听我们的音乐时，最能打动他们的是音乐的多样性和个人化的元素。因为我们每个人都将自己生活的一部分倾注于这个项目中，所以我们希望听众能够理解我们是谁，我们来自哪里。

We really hope that, when someone listens to our music for the first time, what sticks with them the most is the variety and the personal elements. Since each one of us poured a piece of our lives into this project, we would love it if our listeners could grasp what we are and what we come from.

V: 最后，请向中国的金属乐迷介绍一下 Beraht。你们想对喜欢重型音乐的朋友说些什么？

Finally, please introduce Beraht to Chinese metal fans. What would you like to say to listeners who love heavy music?

B: Beraht 不仅仅是一支普通的金属乐队。在我们的歌曲中，你可以找到我们的历史和根源。我们会告诉你，当思想成为你自己的陷阱时会发生什么，当周围的世界竭尽全力将你击垮时会发生什么。我们还会告诉你如何从黑暗中拯救自己，如何接受光明依然存在的事实（Beraht 这个名字源于日耳曼语中“明亮”一词）。记住，不要成为Iura提供的逃避的牺牲品！

Beraht’s not just any metal band. In our songs you can find our history and roots. We’ll tell you what happens when the mind starts being your own trap, what happens when the world around you tries its best to take you down. We’ll also tell you how to save yourselves from that darkness, how to accept that some kind of light still exists (the name Beraht comes from the germanic word for bright). Keep in mind, don’t fall victim to the escape offered by the Iura!
