OK, someone has to kick this off by asking the silly, mandatory & probably answered a gazillion times before question:

What are your main influences, both generally as a musician/member of Veni Domine, and specifically as a guitarist?
What is your favourite colour?

Veni Domine is a melting pot of all sorts of music, might not be heard all the time but when we discuss music and ideas we often come by artists and bands such as , Rush, Yes, Dream Theathre, Candlemass, Queensryche, Toto, Classical music, modern radio stuff we digest alot of different styles.

As a guitarplayer my main influences always were, Ace Frehley, Ritchie Blackmore, Gary Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen. But nowdays I tend to get going on vocalist and drummers Smile

Randy,

the cd is getting really good reviews, many think it's a step to the early Veni Domine in terms of songs. Dunno if that's the case but as it seem to be on many old time friends wishlist I guess it's ok Laughing

However it's still 2007 and not 1991......

It's nice having it out, the new songs worked well live and hopefully we'll meet alot of new friends on the road.

We're still waiting to close an US distro deal, but it's in the works.

Cheers,

TW

Torb,
Have you played on other projects other than Veni?

Was the progression from Fall Babylon a planned one or do you just let each album evolve naturally?

I have the solo project he did a couple of years ago, but the name escapes me at the momen...no, wait...it was called A Framed Moment of Reality, and it was offered as a free internet download only, I believe. Doom-Metal

Yeah I did some solo work on HERO's Bless this nation, Aussi band Templars first cd I did one complete song with Ez Gomér from Jet Circus, also Divine Fires first cd a solo, other than that I kept it pretty slow, well my own stuff Thorb that did a recording "a framed moment of reality" which was a bit special in many ways, myspace/torbenonline. The whole story for that we have to take elsewhere, it had to do alot about spiritual growth. I have plans for more of that stuff but need to focus around it a bit more. It was free for download but I suck as a webadmin and did not care to keep the site up when Veni Domine was released from the contract. Usually I'm a one band guy....The Thorb stuff was more demo kinda stuff production wise.

It evolved naturally, Spiritual Wasteland is the least favoured cd by the band, it got some really nice moments but it's all messed up because the producers heard different things than we heard so the song structure was changed in the studio and so forth. Three of the songs on FBF we already did record on a demo before so we knew the songs well on that one. Perhaps the early tapes will see the light of day....SW and IIII were like transition cds in a way we did our best in the enviroment we had at present, 23:59 we started to taste freedom and on Tongues I would say we followed the gameplan. Material Sanctuary we also stuck to the gameplan. Then if it is/was the right gameplan....we have to evaluate later on Winky

Here's perhaps a stupid question, but what does Veni Domine mean in English? I'm assuming it's Latin. Huh?

It means "Come, Lord" it's from the revelations, the last chapter one of the last verses. We checked the Latin bible and English, and that was how it translated.

very cool

would you say philosophically the band and its goals have changed since the first album? Do you guys feel that you have accomplished what you set out to do or are there other things you still want (like tour with _____ , sell xx number of albums, distribution, etc)?
