Korkvak - Black Metal from Colombia
Today I am lucky to be
talking with R’lyeh de
Korkvak from Colombia.
Good afternoon
brother! Thank you
for taking the time
to talk to our readers.
1 - Tell us about the roots of
KORKVAK,
when, where
and why did
you decide to
form the band?
KorkvaK
was born
on October
31, 2012, in the
city of Bogota, Colombia.
Under hermetic and occult

ideals we have developed our
own and forceful sound, through
which the Rebellion and the
purest cosmogony are present.
And more than a decision
korkvak is created under
a need. which is to attend
to the call of
Colombia has always been a land
of war and death and that makes it a
tireless source of gangs, it is an aggressive
and violent scene with exponents who
have left their mark worldwide.
nature and its
mysticism, to claim the hidden
knowledge of the being and to

rediscover that connection with
nature and the cosmos that opens
the way to the supremacy of the
being in its maximum autonomy.
2 - Tell us about your discography
and let our readers
know where they can get
copies.
We have participated
in
a couple of
Splits, such
as the "Alianza
Impia del
Sur" of which
some copies
still exist and
"Conciencias Divididas" a
limited edition Colombian
Black metal compilation.
And right now, we are
promoting Our EP "Angeli
Descensus" which
is a Collection piece.
3 - I understand that you
are about to release a new
album in 2024, what will
it be like? Do
you think you
can surpass
previous releases?
Tell
us about the
new material
you're recording...
Our New Album
will exceed
any expectations
we
have had before,
we have
managed to
achieve an impeccable
and
forceful work,
9 songs will be
Rebelled that
from beginning to end
are a mystical journey to
cold and dark paths in the
middle of funereal beings.
Its name will be "The fall
Of The Gods" and it will
have 9 tracks that will undoubtedly
accompany the
struggle with their own
self, of each listener.
Songs like "Renacer" or
"Corpus Mistycum" are
songs that show our years
of work and it will really
be from another plane
where you can perceive
Korkvak in essence.
I can only say that we are
more than proud of the result
and we hope that it reaches
the most intimate and sensitive
fibers of our listeners.
4 - What were your
musical influences
growing up?
Definitely the old
school was always accompanying
us.
There were more bands
that, over time, guided
our spectrum and objectives.
How they were. Windir,
Cor Scorpii, Angantyr or
the masters of Lord Belial
but when we talk about influence,
we refer to an endless
number of sounds that psychedelia
and music include
have slowly guided us to what we
recognize today as Korkvak.
5 - When did you start
playing music? And what
was your first instrument?
I started around the age of
12 or 13 and although over
time I learned to
play various instruments,
there
is no doubt that
the guitar is my
greatest ally
on this path,
it is where all
my musical
experience
lies and with
which I am
most able to
express so
much. unimaginable
emotions that
range from
the strident
and
chaotic to
beautiful classical passages
that become soundtracks
of perverse feelings.
6 - Do you have any other
side projects apart
from KORKVAK?
I am currently a guitarist
for Unchained, a very
captivating band thanks
to the technicality with
which it is handled, I also
play winds, choirs and keyboards
with them. We
currently have an album
titled "The Calling".
