LUNA MORTIS: CENTURY MEDIA 'Was Not The Right Home' For This Band

January 18, 2010

Metalfan.nl recently conducted an interview with guitarist Cory Scheider of the Southern Wisconsin quintet LUNA MORTIS. An excerpt from the question-and-answer session follows below.

Metalfan.nl: This month you received some bad news as you were dropped by your label Century Media. How much of a disappointment was this to you and your bandmates?

Cory Scheider: It is a little disappointing being dropped by a bigger label like Century Media. But it isn't as disappointing knowing that we can now pursue a label that will put some time into our band. So the news is not bad. I'm not sure why it was announced that we were dropped anyway. Most bands don't announce these kinds of things. Splitting from Century Media will work out better for us in the long run. When we were on the label they didn't do a lot to help push the band and get us started. They did some good album promotion for a while but that was as far as they pushed. We are unsure of their reasons for this. They were very nice people but it was not the right home for LUNA MORTIS. 2010 will be a great year for us. We have a tour coming up and will start writing the next album.

Metalfan.nl: Have other labels shown interest in signing LUNA MORTIS. Could you give an update on the situation?

Cory Scheider: There have been other labels interested in the past, but we can't really say what will happen in the future. I can tell you that the band will keep moving forward. It's a very hard time for bands and especially metal. The only thing we can do is keep going and keep getting our music out to our fans.

Metalfan.nl: Have you been writing new songs lately? When do you expect another album to come out?

Cory Scheider: The writing process has begun but it is in its very early stages. We will be working on song arrangements in the next few months. The ideas that are in the early stages now sound great. We don't have an idea when the next album will come out but we will be keeping everyone updated.

Metalfan.nl: What are you most looking forward to do on the next album?

Cory Scheider: I think the next album will be raw and a bit more aggressive given our current circumstances. We are all ready to kick some ass on the next album. It's not going to be as "polished" as the last album. I think it will hopefully catch the vibe of us as a band as a whole. We are a live band and that is where we shine. I hope we can catch that energy on the next album.
