Apprenons \u00e0 mieux les appr\u00e9hender avec cette interview&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Pour le public qui ne vous conna\u00eet pas encore tr\u00e8s bien (et qui pourrait vivre sur Mars !), pouvez-vous nous donner quelques informations ? Comment vous \u00eates-vous rencontr\u00e9s ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C\u2019est une sorte d\u2019introduction, merci ! \ud83d\ude00 Je sais qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e8re d\u2019internet, la distance n\u2019est plus un grand probl\u00e8me, mais nos pays restent relativement \u00e9loign\u00e9s, ce qui limite le contact direct avec le public, pourtant si important pour faire la meilleure impression. Nous sommes bas\u00e9s \u00e0 Prague et nous nous sommes form\u00e9s en 2009 lorsque nos membres principaux ont commenc\u00e9 leurs \u00e9tudes \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9. Durant ces 16 ann\u00e9es, nous avons jou\u00e9 en Autriche, Slovaquie, Pologne, Slov\u00e9nie et dans plusieurs festivals en Allemagne. Il y a longtemps, nous avons jou\u00e9 avec Aktarum, malheureusement pas en Belgique mais en R\u00e9publique tch\u00e8que, car ils avaient accept\u00e9 notre invitation \ud83d\ude00 Donc on peut dire que, dans notre r\u00e9gion, nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 une petite histoire \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Comment d\u00e9finissez-vous votre musique et quelles sont vos principales influences ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depuis la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019Odr\u00e6dir, le groupe a beaucoup \u00e9volu\u00e9. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, nous n\u2019avons pas chang\u00e9 ce que nous aimons dans la musique, mais plut\u00f4t la mani\u00e8re de la cr\u00e9er, ce qui nous a conduits vers une musique complexe en \u00e9motions. Joyeuse mais brutale, m\u00e9lancolique mais enrag\u00e9e\u2026 Les guitares, m\u00e9lange de death, black et thrash metal, sont accompagn\u00e9es de fl\u00fbtes, cornemuses et ch\u0153urs. De plus, les growls et screams servent les histoires, principalement issues de la mythologie nordique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concernant nos influences, je peux dire que nous aimons g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement des groupes comme M\u00e5negarm, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow ou Equilibrium, ainsi que beaucoup d\u2019autres qui ont sans aucun doute influenc\u00e9 notre fa\u00e7on de composer. Chaque groupe favori laisse une \u201ctrace\u201d en vous qui forge finalement votre go\u00fbt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Et toi, y a-t-il un style de musique que tu pr\u00e9f\u00e8res ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personnellement, les groupes que j\u2019\u00e9coute le plus sont Moonsorrow et M\u00e5negarm, ainsi qu\u2019Ensiferum et Equilibrium, donc je peux dire que je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re le pagan\/folk metal. Je ne dois pas oublier Amon Amarth bien s\u00fbr, Varg, mais j\u2019ai aussi mes favoris en dehors de ce style comme Legion of the Damned. Parfois, j\u2019aime aussi \u00e9couter Dimmu Borgir ou Behemoth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Parmi les concerts que vous avez d\u00e9j\u00e0 donn\u00e9s, y en a-t-il un qui vous a particuli\u00e8rement marqu\u00e9 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quand on me pose cette question, je parle souvent de notre exp\u00e9rience dans la ville de Plze\u0148. Le club \u00e9tait assez petit, mais il y avait une excellente ambiance et des propri\u00e9taires tr\u00e8s sympathiques. Ce soir-l\u00e0, les gens \u00e9taient compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9cha\u00een\u00e9s et le concert fut presque un moshpit permanent. \u00c0 un moment, les gens se sont assis par terre et ont ram\u00e9, puis ils ont m\u00eame lanc\u00e9 un wall of death eux-m\u00eames\u2026 tout simplement un retour incroyable\u2026 et le meilleur arrive maintenant\u2026 dans seulement quatre m\u00e8tres de largeur \ud83d\ude00 C\u2019\u00e9tait totalement inattendu, et je pense qu\u2019une telle exp\u00e9rience sera difficile \u00e0 surpasser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Vous participez au Dark Medieval Fest 2026 en mai prochain. Qu\u2019esp\u00e9rez-vous ou attendez-vous de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement ? Qu\u2019est-ce qui vous ferait plaisir ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tout d\u2019abord, les festivals qui correspondent \u00e0 notre style musical sont toujours un plaisir, car nous avons l\u2019impression d\u2019\u00eatre exactement \u00e0 notre place. C\u2019est comme retrouver des amis autour d\u2019un feu de camp \ud83d\ude0a J\u2019esp\u00e8re go\u00fbter un bon hydromel et bien s\u00fbr des vins du Beaujolais ! Peut-\u00eatre aussi du cidre serait appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 \ud83d\ude00 Et pour expliquer, j\u2019aime vraiment le cidre car je sais qu\u2019il existe des diff\u00e9rences entre cider et cidre \ud83d\ude00 \u2026 Voyons ce que les organisateurs nous r\u00e9servent \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Le public lyonnais ne sait pas encore \u00e0 quoi s\u2019attendre de vos performances \u201clive\u201d, puisque c\u2019est la premi\u00e8re fois que vous venez dans cette r\u00e9gion. Pouvez-vous annoncer une exclusivit\u00e9 pour le DMF 2026 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oui, je peux vous dire que nous pr\u00e9parons quelque chose de nouveau sp\u00e9cialement pour ce voyage. J\u2019aimerais emmener les trois chanteurs invit\u00e9s du dernier morceau Abyss, mais ce n\u2019est malheureusement pas possible \ud83d\ude00 N\u00e9anmoins, nous pouvons promettre un show plein d\u2019\u00e9nergie et le public est invit\u00e9 \u00e0 montrer toute sa puissance dans le moshpit !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Le Covid a confin\u00e9 les gens chez eux et, par cons\u00e9quent, les concerts se sont arr\u00eat\u00e9s. Depuis la reprise des concerts, ressentez-vous un enthousiasme particulier du public ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En R\u00e9publique tch\u00e8que, la sc\u00e8ne des clubs a beaucoup souffert apr\u00e8s le Covid. De nombreux clubs ont ferm\u00e9 et la fr\u00e9quentation des concerts a diminu\u00e9. En plus de la baisse g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de popularit\u00e9 du pagan metal, cela a \u00e9t\u00e9 une p\u00e9riode difficile pour nous. \u00c0 pr\u00e9sent, les choses se sont assez stabilis\u00e9es et heureusement, les metalheads allemands voisins aiment toujours le pagan metal \ud83d\ude00 Nous nous sommes aussi fait de bonnes amiti\u00e9s, pas seulement en R\u00e9publique tch\u00e8que, alors esp\u00e9rons un avenir meilleur \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Comment convaincre quelqu\u2019un de venir au festival et de voir votre performance en 140 caract\u00e8res, style Twitter ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mythologie nordique revisit\u00e9e, guitares puissantes, m\u00e9lodies joyeuses et batterie moderne. Un show qui vous donne de l\u2019\u00e9nergie\u2026 Voil\u00e0 Odr\u00e6dir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Quels sont vos projets \u00e0 venir ? D\u2019autres \u00e9v\u00e9nements ou sorties CD pr\u00e9vus ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bien s\u00fbr ! Nous travaillons actuellement sur le prochain album. C\u00f4t\u00e9 concerts, oui, plusieurs \u00e9v\u00e9nements et festivals sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9vus : en f\u00e9vrier nous avns jou\u00e9s en Allemagne, en septembre en Autriche. Fait amusant, le Dark Medieval Fest sera notre tout premier concert en France, mais fin mai nous jouerons d\u00e9j\u00e0 notre \u201cdeuxi\u00e8me\u201d concert \u00e0 un autre festival \u00e0 Saint-Hilaire-les-Places pr\u00e8s de Limoges. Un peu fou, cela repr\u00e9sente beaucoup de kilom\u00e8tres, mais allons-y ! \ud83d\ude00 Nous aimerons la France l\u2019ann\u00e9e prochaine !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English version <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"50\" height=\"67\" class=\"wp-image-3623\" style=\"width: 50px;\" src=\"https:\/\/kaosguards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/union_jack_.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1- For the public who don&rsquo;t know you very well yet (and who might be living on Mars!), can you give us some background? How did you meet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a kind introduction, thank you&nbsp;\ud83d\ude00 I know that in the age of internet the distance is not making a big issue but still, our lands are relatively distant which restricts the personal contact with audience, something that is so important to leave the best impression \ud83d\ude00 We are based in Prague, and we formed in 2009 when our core members started their studies at university. Over those 16 years, we performed in Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia and we performed on multiple festivals in Germany. Many years back, we played with Aktarum but unfortunately, not in Belgium but in the Czech Republic as they accepted our invitation \ud83d\ude00 So we can say that, in our area, we have pretty some history \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2- How do you define your music and what are your major influences?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Odraedir was founded, it has been a long way of band evolution. Basically, we did not change the things we like in the music but rather the way we make it and that led us to a music which is complex in emotion. Joyful but harsh, melancholic but enraged\u2026 Guitars, which are a blend of death, black and thrash, are accompanied by flutes, bagpipes and choruses. Additionally, growls and screams serve the stories, mostly of Norse mythology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we are talking about influences, I can tell you that we generally like bands like M\u00e4negarm, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow or Equilibrium but also many others which undoubtedly influenced the way we compose. Every favorite band leaves a \u201cpiece\u201d in you that surely forms your taste after all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3- And you, is there a style of music that you prefer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me personally, the most often played are Moonsorrow and M\u00e4negarm, also Ensiferum and Equilibrium so that I can say I prefer pagan\/folk metal. I must not forget Amon Amarth of course, Varg, but I also have my favorites outside this style as Legion of the Damned, sometimes I have a taste to hear Dimmu Borgir or Behemoth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4- Of the concerts you have already given, is there one that particularly stood out for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I am given such a question, I describe our experience in the city of Pilsen. The club was pretty small, but it had a great atmosphere and very friendly owners. That night, people were crazy as hell and the concert was almost one constant moshpit. At one time, people sat on the ground and were rowing and they even started a wall of death themselves\u2026 simply wonderful feedback\u2026 and the best comes now\u2026 in just four meters of width \ud83d\ude00 It was totally unexpected, and I think that such an experience will be hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5- You are participating in the DARK MEDIEVAL FEST 2026 next May. What are you hoping for or expecting from this event? What would make you happy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, festivals that fit our music style are always a pleasure because we feel like we\u2019re exactly where we should be. It is like meeting friends at campfire \ud83d\ude0a I expect to taste a good mead and Beaujolais wines of course! Maybe some cidre would be appreciated too :D. And to explain, I really mean cidre because I know there are differences between cider and cidre \ud83d\ude00 \u2026 Let\u2019s be surprised what organizers prepare \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6- Is this the first time you will be playing in the Lyon area?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes it is. Actually, the first time we play at France at all. We are looking forward to it very much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7- The Lyon public doesn&rsquo;t know what to expect from your \u00ab\u00a0live\u00a0\u00bb performances since this is the first time you&rsquo;ve come to this area. Can you announce an exclusive for DMF 2026?<\/strong><br><br>Right, I can tell you that we are preparing something new just because of this journey. I would wish to take all the three guest singers from the latest song Abyss, but that is not possible unfortunately \ud83d\ude00 Nevertheless, we can promise a show full of energy and the audience is welcomed to show their pure power in moshpit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8- Covid confined people to their homes and consequently concerts stopped. Since the \u00ab\u00a0resumption\u00a0\u00bb of concerts, do you feel a particular enthusiasm from the public?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, in the Czech Republic, the club scene suffered after Covid notably. Many clubs were closed and attendance on concerts decreased. In combination with overall decrease in the popularity of pagan metal genre, it meant hard times for us that time. At the moment, things got quite stabilized and luckily, neighboring German metalheads still like pagan metal :D. We also made some good friendships, not just in the Czech Republic, so let\u2019s hope for a brighter future \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9- How to convince someone to come to the festival and see your performance in the style of the 140 characters of Twitter?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norse mythology in alternative view, powerful guitars, joyful melodies and modern drums. The show that gives you a charge\u2026 That\u2019s Odraedir<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10- What are your upcoming projects? Are there any other events or CD releases planned?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure! We are currently working on the next album. Events\u2026 yes, we have several events and festivals in the Czech Republic planned already, in February, we play in Germany, September in Austria. Funnily enough, Dark Medieval Fest is our very first performance in France, but by the end of May, we play our \u201cvery second\u201d concert at another festival in Saint-Hilaire-les-Places close to Limoges. Crazy a bit, it means lots of kilometers but okay, let\u2019s do it! \ud83d\ude00 We will love France next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A une semaine de la grand messe paganiste qui se tiendra en r\u00e9gion rhodanienne voici que d\u00e9barque de son drakkar des tch\u00e8ques \u00e9nerv\u00e9s.
