Wormwood Chronicles has issued an interview with new CANDLEMASS singer Robert Lowe (SOLITUDE AETURNUS), conducted by Dr. Abner Mality.
The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: It goes without saying that you have an exceptional vocal talent, What led you to use that voice in heavy metal, why did you choose metal for your outlet?
A: "Actually, I never even had considered being a vocalist. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be another YNGWIE MALMSTEEN so I picked up a guitar first. I've been playing guitar all my life, which is kind of funny. As a kid, I sat around and listened to the bands at that time like IRON MAIDEN, SCORPIONS, BLACK SABBATH, whatever and I sang along. I wound up in this genre because that was the kind of music I liked and I was writing as a teenager. When it got to the point that I put together a band, I was playing guitar and singing. Obviously the vocals were influenced by what I was listening to at the time and that's where I started to turn around to focusing more on vocals."
