Recently, DutchMetalManiac\u2019s Tim van Velthuysen interviewed Marble.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, how are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never been better, thanks for asking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us something about the history of Marble?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marble was an idea of bass player Daniel, who created an ensemble to play prog and power metal with some local musicians. Soon guitarist Omar and keyboard player Jacopo joined the band and Paul completed the lineup as lead guitarist. There were a few changes behind the mic during the years. We published our first demo, then in 2008 our first full length A.T.G.O.D.<\/em>, an ep in 2010. After a forced stop we reprised the project with Eleonora as new singer. We re-recorded a song from our first album for a compilation with the new lineup and began recording the new stuff for S.A.V.E.<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people not knowing Marble (yet), how would you describe your music yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We play a mix of metal with female vocals, merged with heavy guitars and a progressive approach to the songs. We rely a lot on heavy riffs, but with keyboards arrangments and vocal melodies. For the new album S.A.V.E.<\/em> we also recorded a string quartet for a song. In the lyrics we combine the concept of sins and virtues with human behaviours. We tried to find our own approach to the subject: not religious, more down-to-earth, probably a bit cynical and dispassionate. It’s a theme we found tremendously appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone doesn’t know Marble yet and you can choose one of your songs to present yourself, which song would that be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartless Disease<\/em>, our first single coming out this friday, is probably a good example of our production. It revolves around our concept of lust (one of the seven deadly sins). It\u2019s essentially a dialogue between a libertine and a puritan. In the libertine\u2019s opinion lust is the emotion that will really set the puritan free.
Musically this song is the combination of all our elements, with fast drums, progressive rhythmics, catchy choruses and great solos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
