A vocalist in the dark progressive metal band



Thanks Liudmila for this Interview!


Who is Liudmila Angel! Tell us a little about yourself!

I'm an ordinary musician from the coldest country Russia. I'm also a writer. Music is my life, I don't know how I can live withiout music. All my feelings, emotions and dreams I import into my songs. My life here in Russia is not so easy, all the musicians have to work hard to earn enough money. I have a dream to see the world, I like to communicate with different people all over the world, and I'm happy that many of them want to listern to my music. They say, oh I know one of your songs, I like it.

Tell us what your musical influences??
Within the Metal and out of this genre Oh, my favourite band is Evanescence, so ones upon a time I watch the music video on TV, it was "Bring me to life", I thought who is this girl? She didn't look like all these stars from TV, not so slim, not so perfect but she was so beutiful, so sincere and her voice was exellent.

What is your vocal range??
About 2,5 octaves.

What are your hobbies, you have some???

I help homeless animals, I like them and try to do their life more comfortable. I don't eat meat because I want that people understand how it is painfull for them to live in such a kind of prison as a butchery.

You write some songs? If this is how you get inspired??

Now I write all the lyrics of Witchcraft and all the music. I'm inspered by my naightmares and dreams, by my lonelyness and pain.

Tell us a little about your album "The Voice Inside" as it was an album with different songs, which was the theme of each???

Oh, it was our first album and I think that this album is just a kind of the collection of the songs of different periods of our musical life. There was no any conception or one story. Just a namber of songs that we composed and we have in this period.

Tell us a little to the Latino community from his album "Ash"! what is the theme of the album? As this album was born? And we want to convey???

ASH - it is not an abbreviation, it means all that we have after life. In this album we tell one story of one man who talks to us by different voices from the blank noise. He is dead, and he wants to find some unswers to his questions.


Listen to some of the songs contain lyrics that deal with death and what may or may not happen after this. It is based on their particular beliefs? or based on the history of the album?
It based on the story of the album.

That means the disc artwork??

It is a tree that is made of human bodies that are going to turn to ash. It doesn't matter who you are while you are alive because after the Death we all will turn to ash. I created this art-work by myself.

The violin is very prominent in his music, for example, the beginning of "Alive" or "Black Water" - Why is the sum of the sound that was not previously? Any plans for more tools in future releases of more atmospheric?

The violin is our important component but not the main. It makes some songs special, more autmospheric. In the new album it will lead ballads.

It feels to be part of a genre like this always being different from the rest of the other commercial bands??

We try to compose such a kind of music that we like, and we have no more promotion, we have no any big label but people find our songs in the internet, they like them. Ofcourse we as every band in the world want to have many big gigs and millions of fans, I think we have enough fans here in Russia, so the world is open for us!

They have already thought the new title of the next album???

The next album will be in Russian language and it's mane is "7".

Some new music video?? A tour here in America???
Now we are working at our new music video to the song "the 7-th sin". If you want to see us in America we will be happy to see your country and your metal-fans!

Thank you very much for your time my friend! The last words are all yours for the readers of Rock & Metal Magazine and Femametal.com!
You should believe in you dreams and follow them. Our way is the only one! We love you! Stay metal
