Interwiew to Shaune Kelley from Dim Mak

Interwiew by Luis Landeo
Welcome to Arsenal Del Metalero How are you Shaune?
Hey guys I'm doing just great. Alive and well with a new record in stores. All is as it should be.The band have a new release: "The Emergence of Reptilian Altars" what is the reason for the name of this album?
The central concept behind the album title is conscious transformation. "The Emergence of Reptilian Altars" represents the transformation from the higher Human vibrational states/altars to that of the lower Reptilian Order.
The title is twofold in its nature. In one case the individual is consciously transforming into the reptilian dimensions. The premise of exploration being that of destroying evil with evil The searcher is looking to transcend and resolve the utter blackness so that it may be possible to peer further into the arcane mysteries. In the second the individual is being transformed unconsciously to the the lower reptilian frequencies.These are the lower vibrational states/altars which dominate the individual with compulsions of fear and aggression.What is the concept behind the lyrics for this new album?
Well its a short journey into occult mysteries and dark topics mainly this time around. Not so much related to the martial arts even though our new singer Joey is a Gracie black belt. Its a very evil record.Who did the art for the album? and why the back of a statue represent the album?
Alex Eckman Lawn did the cover as he works for willowtip records.It wasnt so much even related to the songs was a piece he did and I happen to like the vibe of.Its more of a dark mysterious figure then a statue.Perhaps a demon shifting into reptilian form depending on how you view it.How was the recording session of this new release?
The recording was very smooth.It took a bit of time however to get it all done. But recording with Steve Deacutis at sound spa productions is phenominal.Do you think come to South America?
Honestly I cant answer that. All i can say is you never know. Ive been around the world a bit with Hate Eternal and you just never know man. But nothing is set as of now tour wise.Do you have a message for the fans?
Well I would say thanks to my loyal followers over the past 25 years and hope any new fans of brutal metal will check out the Emergence..Ive been in the game for 27 years now making savage shit so if you like it violent and sick.Its right up your alley. Thanks for the interview.
