Exclusive Interview: Dinnamarque Delves on Their Creative Tastes, Their Inspirations & Their New Single “Out of Control”

We are happy to have you today. Tell us about your 2021 so far!

Rafael Dinnamarque: Hi everyone, it’s a pleasure to be talking to you!!

Well our 2021 has been a bit troubled by the pandemic situation and also the political problems we are going through, but as far as the band is concerned it was the moment when we could sit down and finish our second album ‘The Darkside of Human Nature’ which we will soon announce the release date.

 Can you share more with our readers about your latest release “Out of Control”?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  The song ‘Out of Control’ is the first single from our new album and talks a little about the monsters that exist inside each one that in troubled times are wanting to go out to fight or bring good and evil depending on the situation.

What inspired the single?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  I think everyone in the world constantly goes through this phase where the person has ideas, has thoughts and wants to express in some way, but often this becomes a monster inside them because many times people are not understood and this generates a certain recluse in them or even they are people who suffer prejudice for having their ideas and opinions and this consumes the person from the inside until he explodes.

How did the group first get started?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  The band started in 2002 as a project of mine after leaving a band that I sang because of differences in ideas and ways of conducting things, in 2005 I had a brief stint as a bass player in a band that Riccardo Linassi played and after the band left I I invited him to join the project. After the first formation that had besides Riccardo, Maycon Oliveira and Regis Vital on guitars, we took a break and in 2009 we were nominated for the W.O.A Metal Battle tie, where we won the tie in the state where we live. Ronan Oliveira and Leo Lanny joined the band for this tie, who are still in the formation of the band.

How did you all decide on the name Dinnamarque?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  Actually Dinnamarque is my name but in the identification it has only one letter N and to get the best look I decided to put 2 letters N.

And the choice was because band names have become very difficult to find and when we find it still has issues with usage rights.

How would you describe your sound to someone who just listened to your music for the first time?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  Well some people say that the band is prog-metal other power metal but I think we are metal, there’s a little bit of everything we hear and that we have as a reference in music in general.You hear in our songs pieces that refer to Black metal and more pop bits, as they say that Brazil is a melting pot of music I think that’s more or less what our sound is

How do you get pumped up before a big event?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  Well before any show we are always focused so that it comes out 100% perfect for the audience, but we are also always in a good mood so that the show is very light and relaxed.

Are you currently working on any special projects?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  We are now focused on the release of the CD, but already with plans to start the production of the third album which is already with a lot of songs ready and with the songwriting process completed, and we are focusing on 2022 to do a European tour in addition to festivals and Metal events in Brazil.

Thank you for speaking with us! For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?

Rafael Dinnamarque:  We want to thank you for the invitation to speak with you, and send a save from Brazil to everyone in Kenya !!
