– Hello, thanks for taking your time, how are you holding up during these pandemic, almost dystopian times?
Greetings and thank you for your support and interest! N.N. here answering your questions. We are holding up good, considering the circumstances. We have a rehearsal hiatus currently, but we are still writing new material, have put a lot of work into the cassette release and take time to do things “behind the scenes” so that things will flow more easily once the world is becoming more normal again.
– «Grand Harvest» is a quite evocative name for a band, it can suggest so many and different things, and it also fits your music, as it provides the same sense of destruction and annihilation yet with a somber ambience by adding the word “Grand” so present in different magical workings and spiritual processes. What does «Grand Harvest» mean personally to you?
The main symbolism invoked in the band name is the end of all things, the Reaper’s final harvest and the end of life as we know it. The “Grand Harvester” and other references to harvesting is mentioned in our lyrics and it’s all a part of the general theme of the band. This symbolism is also present in our Sigil of the Grand Harvester, where we have the scythes and the Omega, referring to the final harvest and the end of ends.
The manifestation of the name is meant to work in Doom metal, Death metal and Black metal surroundings alike and to give a sense of what the music might be like, without stating anything too obvious.
