Introduction: Due to time constraints as regular individuals running Witching Buzz and focusing primarily on writing reviews, we are limited to publishing only one (occasionally two) review(s) per day. However, we strongly believe in providing greater exposure to deserving bands and musicians who have put in immense effort. As a result, we have launched a new section called “Witching Riffs: Behind the Sound.” In this section, we have crafted a series of intriguing questions that we pose to every band or musician who wishes to share more about their unique projects. While the questions remain the same for each participant, the diversity among bands ensures that the answers will be fascinating and diverse. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this captivating journey as we delve into the minds and stories of these talented artists.
Endonomos / Austria
What drew you to the immersive and hypnotic sounds? How do you aim to captivate your listeners with this genre?
I generally find it pleasant to be immersed in the music, as opposed to having music as a background, while both definitely has its place and time. As for the second: All I can do is write what comes up in my brain in the most interesting manner, so I can’t really aim for anything.
Can you share the story behind your band name? How does it reflect the essence of your music?
Endonomos is a word composed of the two ancient Greek words nomos (law) and endo (internal), the idea of a sort of intrinsic knowledge of good and bad, beyond any indoctrination by any moral schools or ideologies. Something that lies within any human. In a way like creativity.
What are some unconventional or unexpected influences that have shaped your unique blend?
The obvious ones would be Death Metal, Black Metal, classic Doom, even Sludge, the more unexpected would be some singer/songwriter stuff mainly from 70s-90s.
How do you approach creating expansive and atmospheric soundscapes? What techniques or methods do you employ to achieve that signature vibe?
A BIG production and Mix.
Are there specific themes or emotions you seek to convey through your music? How do alternative music help you express those concepts effectively?
The lyrics are mostly contemplative and deal with all sorts of topics, like religion, politics, inter—species cohabitation and many times how the mind is being corrupted by those who follow an agenda.
Share a remarkable moment or incident from your journey as a band that exemplifies the spirit of your music.
Too many to name.
In what ways do you envision your music progressing or evolving in the future? Are there any new elements or experimental approaches you’d like to incorporate?
I still got some ideas to keep it interesting, but I won’t give them away already 😉
Is there a particular song in your discography that perfectly encapsulates the essence of your music? Please elaborate on its creation and significance.
I don’t think so, I think an album is the superior format for creating an optimal amalgamation of ideas for a sensible whole.
Are there any emerging or lesser-known artists within your music genre realm that you find inspiring or deserving of more recognition? Feel free to share their names and what you appreciate about their work.
Phew it would be unfair to point out only a few so I will leave this blank.
What do you hope listeners experience or feel when they immerse themselves in your compositions? Is there a specific mood or sensation you aim to evoke?
I leave the experience and sensation of hearing our songs completely to the interpretation of the listener, so again I won’t give anything away here or set any “rules” on how to feel when experiencing Endonomos.
