Maurizio iacono biography of barack

Maurizio: During the pandemic we had a lot of time on our hands, obviously. We waited a couple months and released it anyway and then the Ex Deo record was in the process of getting finished. This was the perfect opportunity to do the record and so we decided to go for it, to try some new things from what I usually do. What were some of those different things that you wanted to experiment with on this one that you might not have gotten a chance to with Kataklysm or Ex Deo?

Chris took the lead on a lot of it but I pushed myself to try something new with that as well. I guess in my death metal approach I enunciate my words a lot and I try to make sure that you can understand everything. That puts me in a place where I can get different ranges going. We had a lot of stuff going on. Every time we came together and said we need a song in a week, it was done.

It just came so quickly, as far as writing was concerned. What took time was us getting together to finish. It was a very natural album. J-F is still the pinnacle of my career. Chris is the guy that, like I said, I worked with him on the Kataklysm Unconquered record for the first time and we hit it off. I felt he was a key guy to bring this together so that I have three projects that are not the same.

We needed something in there to gel it all together. He recorded all the drums for it. It all came out real natural and real quick. I usually feel good when something comes together like that. Any Italian will tell you that they know the story. Invictus represents the unconquered sun. It gives birth to everything that we have, in a way, and it balances out our ecosystem.

Basically, Invictus is that for me. I had it tattooed here [forearm] for years and then we needed a band name. The only problem is that the algorithms for online is bullshit when it comes to this. You mentioned that the lyrics on this project are more personal than they have been in the past. Did that change your lyric writing process at all?

Maurizio: Some parts were more difficult. The scars remain, somehow, and not everybody has the same life. I had a really rough upbringing. I grew up with my fists a lot when I was a kid. I had a lot of tough stuff and a lot of people have their stories. I was the odd kid out. Go to school and I was the odd kid out; I never fit on anything.

I always knew that I would accomplish something. My dad was a bad boy, he was gambler, and did all kinds of crazy stuff. You have to be and I was put in that situation. A lot of people in metal are suburb kids who grew up and their parents had the money to buy them an instrument. I had none of that. I had to really dig hard and really want to be a musician and try to make it on my own.

Every time there was a barrier, I broke it and I went and did it anyways. If I can do it, anyone for sure can do it. Was there ever a point in writing the album and songs like that where you found yourself getting more personal than you wanted and had to pull back a little? How did you determine where that line was? He was never around because of that and, long story, because of what happened he had to leave the country at some point.

I have to do it because of work, because of my band. Maurizio: I always feel like, at some point, I always preferred playing live but recording? It was difficult for me to do early on in my career, during the first Kataklysm records. I prefer recording and creating music versus touring as much.
