Spitfire (Germany)
T:
Why is the name of the band "Spitfire"?
Manuel: The name is origined by the
"supermarine Spitfire" which was an Hunting Aircraft from England
during the 2nd Worldwar. We were waching a ducumentary-movie about it and so we
said "YES! Thats it!" Our first name was "Stormblade" Sady,
we are not the only Metalband with this name. Check out the Greeks !!
T:
What´s the current line-up
of the band?
Manuel: Me at the Drums, Rico plays guitar and
sings and Max replaces Michael (Dissident Agressor) on the Bass. Michael left
the band in August for a 5-Year-Study in Moldavia.
T:
I listened to your first EP.
"Spitfire": great !! do you believe that you rescue the oldschool
thrash/speed metal from the 80´s?
Manuel: Noooo I don´t think so. There are a lot of
new "old" Bands in germany and Europe. That Movement is called
"the new Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM. Ok, I think that we are
part of it. But that doesn´t matter to us. We just do what we love. And this is
Speed Metal!
T:
What are your influrences?
are you influrented by exodus?
Manuel: I think stuff like "bounded by
blood" is an Influrence to all Bands in the Speed/Thrash Scene. Period.
Just like "Kill em all" ... But there are Tons of good bands out
there. Not only in Thrash/speed. NWOBHM, Classic Power Metal like Running Wild,
True Metal and also Mr. Cash and all the good ol´ Rock´n Roll. All those who
have the Spirit, that we all love so much. For Rico, it´s especially Motörhead.
He is just the biggest Motörhead Fan that I know.
T:
Which bands do you listen
to? did those help you to play such powerful metal?
Manuel: Oh. That´s gonna be a 10-Pages-List.
hahahaha!! Like I said before... We just play that what we love. Passion and
Agression, Baby !!
T:
The cover of the EP.
reminds me a lot to "aces high" from iron maiden. what do you think?
Manuel: a little bit, Hahaha! We are all big Maiden
fans. I drawed the cover. We just wanted to do something that belongs to our
Song "Spitfire´s Down". So I started to catch some Inspirations and
good Ideas.
T:
You have released your EP.
also on Tape via Urtod records. is that label still with you?
Manuel: That was just a deal for 100 Tapes. But
Igor form Urtod is a friend of us. So we will see what the future will bring...
