Diagnosis Interview

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?: Yes, Diagnosis started in 2014 as a personal project by Erubey and Isabel; since we were out of work from our bands respectably we decided to start  in a different style that we were involved at that time. With the pass of the time, and checking the good point of view from people involved in Metal Music Mexican scene; we decided to get it to the next level and then we recruited talented guys to complete the final Diagnosis line up.

2.In July you had released your first album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording? As we mention in several times; Diagnosis takes roots from 90s Death Metal Style mixing it with important modern elements such as harmonic progressions and modal fusions used mainly in jazz and progressive music styles but keeping Diagnosis music into the brutal Death Metal vain.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music? The concept of the lyrical topics on Sympathy for disease is deeply inspired by the testimony written by a critical patient, very important for Sigmund Freud’s investigations and diagnostics. The patient was Daniel Paul Schreber, a German man who suffered psychiatric detention.  The band’s concept is designed and inspired by all people like Schreber, who have psychological and psychiatric disorders. We are thinking about continuing with these topics for the next album, but that we will give news at the time

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Diagnosis'? “Diagnosis” means the art of identifying a disease or illness. The word “diagnosis” has a great power. A proper or improper diagnosis involves healing or death of a patient. So, while reading a text of Freud, it seemed appropriate “Diagnosis” for the band name.
