Venus Doom supposed the broke up with his ex, but Ville definitely is very happy with his loneliness and, for now, he prefers to concentrate on his music.

In some video on youtube you said that “Dark Light” was for “sentimental teen girls and for heavy rock metalers too”. To whom I dedicated “Venus Doom”?
V: I think that it’s for gay people in general.

Do you think on this disc the guitars have the main role?
V: There are much more instrumental parts, many riffs wwith Black Sabbath influences and much longer, but I don’t think they have the main role . There are the keyboards, the choir, the voice…

This album is some kinda therapy to make the phantoms of the past go away?
V: Yes, I would say that it’s like a plastic surgery than a purifying process. It is also about how to have a rule in life.

What is your idea about for the perfect happiness?
V: I think happiness is overworthed, I don’t believe in the perfect happiness. The people concern too much about being happy without realizing the time is passing by. The key consists in being happy with what you have in this moment. There is not reason to turn around.

What are you mostly afraid of?
V: I am not thinking too much of my fears. If I have to say one, it would be to win against death.

So you are not talking about your fears in your songs?
V: I am talking about a different fear. There are thousands of ways to describe the fear. The scheme has 500 forms. Let’s say the word “love”, and this thing too, can be applied to fear. There are many types of fear, the one I speak about in my songs is the existential fear, about the irrational of existence.

Who is the living person you admire most?
V: I admire my father, my mother, my friends, but I don’t consider anyone to be perfect or unique, I don’t think there is someone that perfect to can put him on that pedestal. Let’s say I don’t have famous idols.

What is that you don’t like on you?
V: I don’t know. I don’t hate anything in me, hmmmm (thinking). Nothing.

What would be the most overevaluated virtute?
V: (silence, he doesn’t know, he doesn’t answer)

What talent you would like to have and you don’t have?
V: I would like to dedicate myself to restoration of furniture, take back the beauty of an old chair, of some old furniture. I am fascinated by manual works, to be a specialist in this kind of things wouldn’t be bad. It wouldn’t bother me to be a chief too, I was good in making tai, but I’ve never had time to practice seriously. (he let us with mouths open)

What is your mental state now? What is passing by trough your head?
V: I’m waiting, I don’t know what is happening with the CD, we have a lot of illusions put in it, in the tour.For now, the selling for the first weeks are surpassing all our expectations, so let’s say I’m happy, but nervious.
