![]() ![]() Manufacture Sound Output Company saw the potential and signed the band. Could you tell us about the recording sessions of the Constrictus Mortis demo some 26+ years ago? Undoubtedly you did a pretty good job on that demo and what happened next must have put a wide smile on your faces. Luxi: In 1989 you recorded your first 9-track demo, Constrictus Mortis (which was later released under the title Primus Omega with the same songs, according some sources). ![]() How did you end up picking that particular name? Undoubtedly some in the band are huge fans of the Star Wars unless I am completely mistaken.Īlain: Parker was the one who came up with the name Darth Vader's Church and we all agreed that a cool band just needs a name. ![]() Luxi: Darth Vader's Church is an unusual name for a Death Metal band. We basically knew each other from school and local shows. The other was Requiem and that was Glenn's and Todd's band. The first band featured Parker and Alain and that was Bloodglutton. First of all, could you kindly tell to the readers of The Metal Crypt something about the early days of DVC, like who formed the band, how you found the other members and so on?Īlain: DVC was made up of two bands that came together. Luxi: Before we talk about DVC's second album a bit more let's go back to the very roots of Darth Vader's Church. Basically Glenn couldn't deal and thought his music was too good for the band. They think their music is above the rest. Sometimes your guitar players think they're too good to perform live and their music is too complex for the normal listener. Darth Vader's Church? Why did the band break up in 1993? Did you suffer from a loss of interest and motivation after the band's second album, Molecular Shadow, was released?Īlain: Just like with any band you have a bunch of guys who get told how great they are and eventually their heads swell to the point of no return. Luxi: The question is what on earth happened to DVC i.e. It's looking good as far as keeping me busy till I retire. Luxi: How's it going buddy? Your tattoo shop (Euphoria Tattoos) is obviously keeping you busy these days, right?Īlain: The shop keeps me busy, been doing it for over 20 years now. He was kind enough to answer some questions about the times when Darth Vader's Church was causing sonic havoc and terror on stage all around the Tallahassee area. The Metal Crypt managed to get in touch with the band's original bassist Alain Rodgers, who runs a tattoo shop called Euphoria Tattoos, in Tallahassee, Florida. DVC's strong use of keyboards and samples, especially on the band's Molecular Shadow album, gave them a very unusual sound. Descendant Upheaval and Molecular Shadows were extraordinary Death Metal albums, differing from everything else that was released back in those days. DVC was not well known in the underground Metal scene though the band managed to tour in Europe in 2012 with Morgoth, Unleashed, Paradise Lost and Protector. ![]() You like Star Wars? Think Luke Skywalker is a cool character and his light saber is even cooler when fighting against the Dark Lord of the Empire, Darth Vader?įuck that movie shit for the time being? Here we are talking about Darth Vader's Church from Tallahassee, FL, a band that released two albums ( Descendant Upheaval in 1989 and Molecular Shadow in 1992) before disbanding in 1993. ![]()
