SI #33 This is Tanya Elizabeth & Eddie DeCesare | Monochromatic Black
Monday, 23 December, 2024
Tanya Elizabeth and Eddie DeCesare are benevolent souls: Kind people who give of their time and opinions and whom I am immensely impressed with as musicians and people. Monochromatic Black isn't just another 'female fronted' metal band. To be honest, I really don't like that Monochromatic Black is oftentimes compared to Jinjer or Arch Enemy, simply because both bands have women as front persons. I know everyone wants to have a reference point ahead of time when discovering new bands, and I've been guilty of it too, but these are people with their own style, and the band has its own sound, which sounds nothing like the bands people compare them to. I guess we all need a starting point when it comes to art, but it's my hope you'll dive a little deeper with me.Originally, we had a much different show prepared, but limits on time and availability (this was recorded during the holidays) kept us tight and didn't allow us to dive as deep as we'd hoped. I hope you'll give this band the attention they deserve, even if I didn't, simply because.... again.... they are super interesting, talented, and absolutely worth your time. All I know is that I had to have them on the show because they are truly special people to me. I'm hosting them today, because I want you to discover the band before they head out on tour at the beginning of the year. Before their schedules no longer allow them to work with the smaller guys like me. I want you to know what you're in for and who you're going to meet and listen to. I want you to know them, so here's your chance. Let's welcome these extraordinary talents. It makes me truly happy to have them on the show today. What a great way to end the year!Ladies and gentlemen, Tanya and Eddie from Monochromatic Black!!!----Time Codes:1:00 When interviewers ask the same dumb questions over and over1:45 Bands and video games3:30 When the talent overrides your curiosity6:30 Tiring of comparisons8:50 The progressive element of metal10:50 The music and feel comes first13:00 When Jinjer was a groove metal band15:30 When we release music before it's ready18:45 How does Monochromatic Black overcome being classified as a 'female fronted' metal band?22:00 Meeting your heroes in person24:00 The hardest parts of touring life27:00 When it comes to gear, drummers have it the worst30:30 Having interests outside of the band33:00 Being in the right place when it matters35:00 Knowing what you want to do, no matter what----I'm a former professional drummer hosting challenging conversations with other artists/creatives about mental health, new music, weekly news, and spiritual truths.Please consider supporting the show.Watch every UNCENSORED show here: https://www.patreon.com/thisissentimentalillness Copyright 2024 Sentimental Illness - All Rights ReservedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sentimental-illness--6163498/support.
