\"WaningEng\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Waning is a Black Metal band from Sweden, with great material released, this year they give us the excellent “Feeding of Fragments”, the bassist\/vocalist, Ronny Attergran gave us a great interview, spread the word.<\/p>\n

GroundCast: To warm up, tell us, how everything started?<\/b><\/p>\n

Ronny Attergran: <\/b>Waning was formed 2007.<\/p>\n

Right from the start the founders agreed that Waning should be a conceptual band, both lyrically and musically, and that the concept should revolve around humans and everyday situations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"383612_508713582496707_550708547_n\"<\/a>GroundCast: What the name \u201cWaning\u201d means for you, you said that is a conceptual band, so why do you use this name?<\/b><\/p>\n

RA: <\/b>All grand civilisations have fallen due to indolence and pride.<\/p>\n

Our society has reached its peak and are sentenced the same faith.<\/p>\n

GroundCast: What are your influences?<\/b><\/p>\n

RA: <\/b>Everyday life.<\/p>\n

GroundCast: Do you use yourselves, friends and family as influences? Which point of everyday life is more important to write? (in your opinion)<\/b><\/p>\n

RA: <\/b>Of course some people close to me have inspired me, all human interaction are interesting.<\/p>\n

The depressed society of today and desperation are my two favourite lyrical subjects.<\/p>\n

GroundCast: You have a demo (Waning) and a Full-Length (Population Control) from 2008, The Human Condition released in 2012 and now the EP, Feeding of Fragments (from this year), what changed in the band since the beginning?<\/b><\/p>\n

RA: <\/b>First I just like to add that<\/p>\n

Waning also are participating in a vinyl art project “Eternal Nightmares” a compilation of 26 Bands divided on 13 7″ vinyls forming one artwork.<\/p>\n

Now to the main question<\/p>\n

The biggest changes since the start are the line up, after “The Human Condition” previous drummer CS announced that he was tired of playing drums and was quitting.<\/p>\n

With a lot of luck, an old friend of all band members JW was able to join the band fairly immediately.<\/p>\n

After finalizing our video “At the Peak of Indifference” we started the work of what later became “Feeding of Fragments”<\/p>\n

During that work our vocalist LRA also left the band. Instead of holding auditions for a successor I (RA) how previously have done the backing vocals took full responsibility for the vocals.<\/p>\n

GroundCast: How was the acceptance of the EP \u201cFeeding of Fragments\u201d?<\/b><\/p>\n

RA: <\/b>Since “Feeding of Fragments” is quite new the response has been great from our devoted fans.<\/p>\n

It remains to see what the general population thinks.<\/p>\n

GroundCast: I can say that the name \u201cFeeding of Fragments\u201d is a quite curious, what it means for the band and for the music?<\/b><\/p>\n

RA: <\/b>It’s about the signals you send out every waken minute. In your attempt to show the world how you are, by wearing a certain shirt, religious symbol or your latest tweet.<\/p>\n

GroundCast: What are the future plans for the band?<\/b><\/p>\n

RA: <\/b>Hopefully we’ll find a label that can help us spread our message of Impressionism and cynicism.<\/p>\n

Otherwise we have at least one more EP in the pipeline.<\/p>\n
