Under The Lotus

BlackWaltz FAOTW 4/13/13-4/19/13

Hey every one Truth here with this weeks interview with our FAOTW from last week Black Waltz. I hope you enjoy the interview.

UTL INC- What got you into music and pursuing the career of becoming an artist?

Black Waltz- I was raised around music my entire life. My father listened to everything from Michael Jackson to Marilyn Manson. I would probably have to say the first time I really wanted to pursue music is when I heard Korn and Slipknot. I played drums in countless death metal bands over the years until I realized I wanted to do my own thing. So I wrote rap music that was basically the same lyrical premise as the death metal I use to write.

UTL INC- What do you relate to or draw your inspiration from when you are recording and performing?

Black Waltz- I draw my inspiration from my own character/s (BlackWaltz, Walter Black & The Karma Killa), and put myself in their shoes. Also my “medications” help as well.

UTL INC- Who have you performed with on the stage; and what was that like for you?

Black Waltz- I’ve only played one show as BlackWaltz and it was with Ponick 51/50. It was a great show and I love getting into character and performing. It’s like I’m a different person (or 3) on stage.

UTL INC- What sub-genre do you classify your style as in the Underground Rap Industry?

Black Waltz- Horrorcore, but that isn’t all I have up my sleeve. There is a lot more BlackWaltz to come.

UTL INC- Who do you think artist wise has inspired you to choose the genre of underground rap you write and perform?

Black Waltz- I would have to say Eminem, Cannibal Corpse, The Acacia Strain and…. Rob Zombie, but not as a musician but a director. And a lot of video games… a fuckin’ lot!

UTL INC- Who would you like to perform on stage with?

Black Waltz- Lo Key would be awesome to perform with. Twiztid, The Jokerr, Eminem. I could go on for days.

UTL INC- Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

Black Waltz- With a lot more albums, hopefully a bigger fan base and supporters. Playing a lot more shows… and with a Playstation 4 (lots of video games, remember?)

UTL INC- If you had the opportunity to go “mainstream” would you do it; why or why not would you make that move?

Black Waltz- I think that question was meant for someone else. What’s this “mainstream” you speak of? Is it some sort of place where peoples pants are way too tight and cuss words like “swag” exist? Because the underground is all I know and would never leave such an amazing lifestyle as this one. Did I mention I play video games a lot?

UTL INC- If their was anything you had to say to your fans what would you say?

Black Waltz- If you are ever planning on being a cannibal always remember… contrary to what you see in movies like “Hannibal”, never eat the brain! It will give you CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease). A disease which kills all of your brain cells. You’re welcome.
