Reviewed in our vinyl records selection of May and June 2018<\/a>, we wanted to make you discover the band VARSOVIE!<\/strong> The member of the band, Arnault Destal and Gr\u00e9gory Catherina, were kind to answer our questions and tell us more about their career.<\/p>\n

Music career<\/h2>\n

– WHAT IS YOUR MUSICAL BACKGROUND?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Gr\u00e9gory Catherina:<\/span><\/strong> I began playing guitar in 1994, thanks to a friend who had not been playing long. We started with classics (Maiden, Metallica, U2, The Doors…) to learn how to play together. Four years later, Forbidden Site hired me as guitarist for their last album. After the split, we founded Varsovie in 2005 with Arnault. Meanwhile, I started to sing.<\/p>\n

Arnault Destal:<\/strong><\/span> I played on a real drum for the first time when I was 17 yo, and then I joined a cover band playing between Sisters of Mercy, Cure and New Model Army. The musical repertoire was good, but I had no interest about it. Six months later, after an important meeting, I founded Forbidden Site in 1994, an avant-garde Black Metal band that would release an EP and two albums that were quite notable for the scene at the time.<\/p>\n

When the creative duo I was part of split, I continued to play with Greg, but from far, without really believing in it. The experience had been too intensive for me to get involved again, and I did not want to carry on by default. I had to wait until 2005 to be ready and for the flame to come back. The advantage is that this lost time has allowed us to hold on to a line and also to build a friendship. I think that is been our course ever since.<\/p>\n
