Hello! my friend! have you been?
thank you very much! For this new interview!
Thank you very much for having me, I appreciate the interview!
Who is mary zimmer after Luna
Mortis?
Mary Zimmer after Luna Mortis is pretty much a completely different
person on so many levels. I still make
music, play metal and follow my passion 100%.
But, I’ve changed mentally, emotionally, physically, visually, vocally -
it’s really incredible but I feel like have really improved all areas of my
life since Luna Mortis ended and it’s fantastic to move forward.
Come back with the band Luna
Mortis?
We did a short-lived reunion last year which was a ton of fun for the
fans and also for me personally, but in the end it turned out to be a
disappointment to the fans because we had to make it a much shorter reunion
than originally promised or than perhaps what the fans were hoping for. I still have people messaging me one year
later hoping the reunion is still on. Sadly, it’s not. It ended almost faster than it began. I really tried to hold it together but the
reunion only served to prove that many of the reasons we dissolved as a group
in the first place were still there. We
couldn’t continue to function previously and the passage of time didn’t make it
possible for us to function any better.
So, it was a failed experiment and I can pretty much guarantee we won’t
try to reunite again. I am very glad,
however, that I got to perform the songs
a couple last times and to get to catch up with so many of our friends and
supporters. That was great.
Tell us about your experiences
in the Belgian FMVF? It must be great to be there!
I absolutely loved performing at Metal Female Voices Fest in Belgium
with Eve’s Apple last October. It was my
first time attending and/or performing at the fest and I had a wonderful
time. The audience was so friendly and
welcoming and it was an incredible honor and pleasure to share the stage with
my Eve’s Apple sisters.
What You’ve done all this time,
tell us a bit? Mary Zimmer is a new Mary Zimmer or remains the same in this at
this stage
White Empress has been my primary focus and I can’t wait to start
unleashing all of the details upon you! We’ve put a lot of hard work and
dedication and detail into all of the things coming this year.
Tell us the concept of White
Empress? what is the concept?
White Empress is band based around the character of the White Empress herself. She’s empowering, and a feminine power in her own right. She represents the individual inner strength and power we all have within. Lyrically, I try to write empowering music in her image. The band is represented as the Royal Court of the Empress who all are characters and will have their own look and following as well to go along with the kick ass music they write.
How born the idea? you write the
songs?
Paul Allender, our guitarist was the founding member of the band and
came up with the original concept. The
songs are written with everyone’s input - everyone writes their own individual
parts. So, I write the vocal melodies
and lyrics and all the other parts are written by the other band members.
The image of White Empress of
EP, that mean?
The image of the White Empress on the EP cover is artwork by an artist,
Miss Lakune. It’s what we imagine the
White Empress to look like and her first introduction to the world.
There will be a video? and when
the album?
Yes, a video has already been filmed and we have very exciting details
on that release coming soon! It is extremely EPIC and visually stunning! We
have planned for a full-length album release at the end of 2014.
What do you think about the
whole environmental issue facing the world?
Well, I have 3 degrees in varying areas of Renewable Energy and from that education I
have learned that sustainability is necessary for human survival. All environmental problems caused by man are
a result of unsustainable processes, production etc. The earth is a finite sphere with a finite
amount of resources - a finite amount of matter and energy. If we seek to live on a habitable planet we
must find totally 100% sustainable ways to live. Unsustainable practices shouldn’t even
exist. I am a huge renewable energy
advocate, as it is the most logical, safe, sustainable, abundant means of
powering humanity.
That’s what you exchange in the
world? We have more problems than solutions not believe my friend
Watch the video or read the book “Cradle to Cradle” and learn about
sustainability and how it changes the world and your environment!
thank you very much! my friend
for these words! the last words are yours to all our readers!
Thanks very much to you and your readers for the interview and for your
support of White Empress! We can’t wait
to bring you an amazing album this year with tons of new music and a killer
video. The White Empress thanks you all!
