今天再次为大家介绍一支来自哥伦比亚的Death Metal乐队Executioner，该乐队成立于2009年由吉他手Will Herrera组建并且他也是乐队中唯一的原始成员，但是在2010年乐队进入休整期，直到2021年乐队才重新启动，2023年乐队在德国Rising Nemesis Records发行了他们的EP专辑“Museum of Death”，这张带有浓重现代气息的作品发行之后受到了广泛的关注和好评，目前乐队正在创作他们的第一张正式专辑，也是非常值得让所有歌迷期待的作品之一，在前不久Executioner乐队与我取得联系进行了一次专访。

Today we're back with Executioner, a Death Metal band from Colombia, formed in 2009 by guitarist Will Herrera, who was the only original member of the band, but went on hiatus in 2010 and didn't relaunch until 2021, when they released their EP "Museum of Death" on Germany's Rising Nemesis Records in 2023, to critical acclaim. In 2023 the band released their EP "Museum of Death" on Rising Nemesis Records in Germany, a modern, contemporary work that received much attention and critical acclaim, and the band is currently working on their first official album, one of the most anticipated releases by any fan. Currently the band is working on their first official album, which is one of the most anticipated albums for all their fans, and I was contacted by Executioner for an interview not long ago.

V: 你好兄弟很高兴见到你，也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。首先向你们的中国歌迷朋友们问好。Executioner乐队成立于哪一年？是谁提议成立这个乐队的？
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, I would like to say hello to your Chinese fans and friends. The band Executioner was established. In what year? Who proposed this band?
E: 向在座的各位问好，感谢你们关注Executioner乐队。Executioner乐队成立于2009年，一直活跃到2010年底，进入了休整期。在2021年重新启动，我们的原籍城市佩雷拉是一个小城市，所以没有太多的活动，很难找到演奏Brutal Death Metal的乐手，幸运的是我们现在回来了。这支乐队是由吉他手Will Herrera提议成立的，他也是第一阵容中唯一的原始成员。
Greetings to everyone there, we hope you meet an era of executioner. The band was formed in 2009 and is active until the end of 2010 when it enters a period of stand-by. reactivating in 2021 as such there were many years of inactivity, our city of origin Pereira is somewhat small and it is difficult to find musicians to do brutal death, fortunately we have returned. This band was proposed by Will Herrera guitarist and only original member of the first lineup.
V: 你们乐队是如何创作歌曲的，能描述一下创作过程吗？是否所有成员都参与了创作？
How does your band write songs, can you describe the creative process? Did all members participate in the creation?
E: “Museum of Death”这张EP的创作90%是由Will完成的，其他成员也贡献了一些小的旋律。创作过程有些复杂，因为我们必须努力创造一种能识别乐队的风格。幸运的是经过多年的努力，我们已经可以将所有的部分整合起来，这一点你可以在我们正在创作的新作品中听到。
The creation of the Museum of Death ep was 90% done by Will, there were some small contributions of riffs that the other members contributed. The creative process is somewhat complex taking into account that we must aim to create a style that identifies the band. Fortunately, over the years it has been possible to consolidate the composting part, something that you can hear in the new thing we are working on.
V: 你们乐队对录音非常讲究，你们是在哪个录音室录制专辑的？哪位制作人制作了你们的专辑？
Your band is very particular about recording. Which studio did you record the album at? Which producer produced your album?
E: 我们的EP是在佩雷拉市的Density sound lab工作室录制的。由Goretrade的César vera制作。
Our EP was recorded at the Density sound lab studios in the city of Pereira and produced by César vera of Goretrade

Our cover was designed by the well-known artist Sidjimbeart from Indonesia
V: 你们的音乐主题是什么？我看到你们还有歌词。这些歌词是谁写的？他的灵感来自哪里？
What is the theme of your music about? I saw that you also have lyrics. Who wrote these lyrics? Where does his inspiration come from?
E: 我们的EP专辑音乐非常血腥，展现了人类兽性和怪诞的一面，歌词是Will写的，灵感来源于地球上的日常生活现实。
our music in this Ep is very gore, bloody. showing that animalistic and grotesque side of the human being. The lyrics were written by Will. Inspiration comes from the reality of everyday life on this planet.
V: 你们今年发行的EP专辑由德国Rising Nemesis Records唱片公司发行，这是一家非常优秀的唱片公司，你们是如何与这家唱片公司取得合作的？
The EP album you released this year was released on Rising Nemesis Records in Germany. This is a very good record company. How did you get in touch with this record company for cooperation?
E: 很幸运，我们联系到了RNR，他很喜欢我们的作品，所以我们就开始着手制作这张EP。
Well, fortunately we were able to contact RNR and he liked our work, so we got to work to put the EP forward.
V: 首先祝贺你们今年发行了第一张EP专辑“Museum of Death”，这是今年一张杰出的Death Metal专辑。我只能用两个词来形容这张专辑："疯狂"，鼓点很快，但很稳定，不会给人混乱的感觉。吉他部分也很有规律，有连续的旋律，主唱使用了低沉的演唱风格，这使得你们的这张作品非常激动人心。你对自己的作品有什么看法吗？
First of all, congratulations on the release of your first EP album "Museum of Death" this year. This is an outstanding Death Metal album this year. I can only use two words to describe this album as "crazy", with fast drum beats, but It is very stable and does not give people a chaotic feeling. The guitar part is also very regular, with continuous riffs, and the singer uses a low and deep singing style, which makes this work of yours very exciting. You are very confident about your work. What do you think?
E: 我们很幸运乐队在现场表演和听众中得到了很好的反响，大家对我们的音乐接受度很高，我们很高兴，我们希望继续前进，让更多的国家和大陆了解我们的作品。
We are fortunate with the response that the band has had, in their live performances and the people who listen to our music, the acceptance has been very good, we are very happy, we hope to continue advancing and making more of our work known in different countries and continents
V: 2024年，你们乐队有什么新的作品吗？比如创作，录制新歌或者参加一些音乐节，能透露一些信息给大家吗？
Does your band have any new work coming up in 2024? For example, if you are recording, composing some new songs or participating in some music festivals, can you reveal some information to everyone?
E: 我们正处于第一张全长专辑的作曲阶段。我们正在完成这部分工作，然后开始录音，这样就可以开始寻找愿意做这项工作的唱片公司了。如果能与亚洲的唱片公司合作，那就太好了。
We are in the compositional part of what will be our first full-length album. We are finishing this part to start recording and in this way start looking for a label that wants to do this work. It would be great to be able to work with a label from Asia.
V: 你们乐队参加过哪些音乐节？哪些音乐节给你留下了深刻的印象？能谈谈当时的气氛吗？
What music festivals has your band participated in? Which music festivals left a deep impression on you? Can you tell us about the atmosphere at that time?
E: 在乐队复出之后，我们能够与哥伦比亚Brutal Death Metal的大牌乐队，如INTERNAL SUFFERING和GORETRADE一起演出，能够与这些传奇乐队分享，对我们来说意义非凡。
In this new resurgence of the band we have been able to share with big bands from the Colombian brutal death movement such as INTERNAL SUFFERING AND GORETRADE, it has been quite meaningful for us to be able to share with these legendary bands
V: Executioner是一支优秀的年轻乐队。虽然你们只发行过一张专辑，但听过你们的作品后，我非常期待你们的新作品。我会一直支持和关注你们的乐队。我也希望通过这次采访，能鼓励更多的乐迷关注和支持你们的乐队。最后有什么想对中国歌迷说的吗？
Executioner is an excellent young band. Although you have only released one album, after listening to your work, I am very much looking forward to your new work. I will always support and pay attention to your band. I also hope that through this This interview will encourage more fans to pay attention to and support your band. Is there anything you want to say to Chinese fans at the end?
E: 向中国的每一位歌迷问好，我们希望你们继续关注我们的音乐，关注我们的新作品，我们知道你们会喜欢的。
