De Profvndis Clamati: "We wanted to do something special for the 10 years of band's existence" (Kleber Fainer)

Somehow time, as usual wandering on "Facebook's back streets", I casually came across on post of one unknown for me till that time the Funeral Doom Metal  band from far Brazil.  In the Latin American scene no so many such performers as in the it's neigbour - the North America, Europe or even at the Russia, and because this group very interested me. My an awaked interest was satisfied, when I had heard to couple of tracks presented by the author on court of exacting listeners. The material was really good, generally, that is confirmed by nearly 10 years of long and laborious work over it. It isn't difficult to guess that I left the positive comment, - the reason of my more close acquaintance with unit of the Brazilian underground - De Profvndis Clamati, in the person of it founder and "driving force" - Kleber Fainer. It is necessary to tell that the project really little-known, despite the solid age while is in the beginning of the career therefore I didn't miss opportunity to communicate to dear Kleber that  to spill light ray on monumentally gloomy creation of Brazilian metal undergrounds.

Terve, Kleber! I know that you the big fan of all Finnish therefore I decided to greet you on Finnish. I am

remembered that some time ago I promised to take an interview and finally today i have a free time to do it. Do you agreed to give me a little your time?

Hey, terve, mitä kuuluu? Okay, our interview can be today, sure just send me the questions, it will be a pleasure grant you a interview.

Well, then we will be starting! Tell please how began the history of DPC and who possessed an initiative to create such group?

Well, first of all… I do thank you a lot for the opportunity for me to express the ways of De Profvndis Clamati specifically to the russian people...
The band has begin it's journey as a Folk/Black Metal band named Long Winter and then I came to the band bringing with me the whole romantic tragic concept and then we decided to change dramatically the musical direction of the band, thus De Profvndis Clamati has it's genesis, and after some names a

nd years later the band has decided in a definitive way for the name of De Profvndis Clamati that synthesizes the deep inner and intimate band's essence, so the initiative to bring on the concept idea to life was taken by me.

It known that in your discography there is already well-known mini-album "In Between Passionate Minnuendos" and also it known that this EP was published specially to ten-year-old anniversary of a band. And why for such big period of time there was made only one album?

Before the EP's special edition released on the end of the last year the same EP was originally released by FunerART, now Posmo Group back in 2010, lots of matters has contribuited for only with 7 years of existence the first official release came to surface, mainly the reasons for that was conflicts between me and an ex band member and the difficulty to find Doom Metal musicians here... but now the wait shall be worthwhile, beginning of august our newest websingle shall be unleashed, in the end of the year the debut full album and possibly in 2014 our second full album that's already a consistent project...

Well, don't vanish for a long time, I hope that you will please us with new good works in the nearest future))... I know many one-man projects which does very fruitfully work for the any reasons. How do you think, could your formation to be as "one man project" or DPC needs in strong and solid collective?

For sure we will... well, throughout band's history I have had to with several low apathic times, I wondered once the possibilty to make De Profvndis Clamati an one man's band/project in virtue of several factors and other several times even to end activities, this is normal, but the band did overcome it all, the band can absolutely exist as a one man's 'band', but it is the opposite from the band's purpose that's to be actually a band itself and to perform live concerts, the band needs to have a solid line up, that's the band's main goal.


Kleber if not a secret, do you have a music education or you came in the "world of music" singly ?
I have some music education yes, but in main terms I'm also an autodidact, I am deeply influenced by Classical Music, I do study it by myslef as you can listen and feel listening to De Profvndis Clamati's music...

If I am not mistaken, you are engaged also by writing of texts for songs of DPC? What inspires you on the lyrics which so monumental and tragic?

Basically the lyrics are romantic tragedies, and it concerns a lot of aspects and nuances, the lyrics are written by me, main inspiration are both Schopenhaer and Byron even their meaningfull texts itself as their way of writing, apart that, my personal relationships inspires me a lot, life itself, the loss of people, feelings being opressed by mundane and superficial matters, death, the lyrics in essence are my most deepest, personal and eloquent sentiments on life and feelings, emotions, sensations, impressions as a whole thing.

And now I have a desire to ask you about the most curious moment in DPC's life - how did you came to the decision to republish "In Between Passionate Minnuendos" on the Russian label? I think that it a big rarity when foreign collectives prefer the Russian publishers.

I can't really remember how i've found out MFL, but for Doom Metal it's way better to release albums, the whole market of Doom Metal enthusiasts, bit portion is in Europe, and the re-release was because we wanted to do something special for the 10 years of band's existence.

Earlier it was mentioned that DPC is primarily collective which was gathered not only for collaboration, but also for live performances. Tell please how your affairs with concert activity for the entire period of existence of group? Do you participate at any conceptual festivals or similar actions in Curitiba or beyond its limits?

I do have lots of contacts concert-wise, but in all DPC's history was never a concert for lot of matters, we are planning now concerts for the end of the present year/beginning of 2014, we almost did two concerts one in Chile and another one here in our town Curitiba, the first one doesn't happened for monetary affairs, it's about a small Doom Metal label, we was choosen to be the international act, but they couldn't provide at least our tickets and the other onw our drummer on that time left the band very close to the concert's day.
It's very rare, but i did some special guest appearances at some friend's concerts here, mostly on vocals.

Well everything ahead and so if sometime DPC will have the such opportunity we wait for you in the Russia)).

Now tell about the future EP "The Trancylvanian Mountainside Aria".

Already known an exact date of this release?

About the websingle we are still working on it, some final details, but hopefully in august shall be it's official premiere...


As I already know, the merchandise is applied to this single. Now tell in more detail about it for our readers and about that how fans including from others countries can receive it?

Well, at first our websingle shall be available exclusively via internet (at our Bandcamp's premiere in august and probably via Reverbnation to, free and paid download, but we have plans to make some exclusive pendrives in order to sell it as soon as possible...

Next question will be addressed to you how for the musician. How do you think, what prospects wait underground music as a whole with Internet development?

After all now it became very simple to get any, even rare release absolutely free, but in too time it is a fine and most available way to declare themselves to the whole world.

Internet is powerful tool, and there is a lot of social medias build up for musicians in order the improve and helping to spread the music, and also it can provide a direct support to the band by the fans.


Kleber, thank you  for substantial answers and for what you gave a part of the yourself precious time for our conversation. I hope that you didn't tire with the questions)) And... finally I wish that you addressed to our readers with any wishes)

No problem, Vica... it is always good to be in contact with thee. I do wanna thank each fan in Russia for caring about my music, also I am hoping that everyone reading the interview shall appreciate the music and you Vica, for your great support and attention, it is immensely appreciated.
