UNIVERSAL THEORY - Interview

"Universal Theory" is a spanish dark/gothic duo formed by Jesus Pinilla and Maria Jose Martos. Discover with us their deep and romantic sound!

LFdM: Hi guys, thanks a lot for this interview.

How you know, we want to share new sound and bands in our country (Italy)  through a short interview in which you showing the true soul of the band, to our reader.

I read that the concept behind Universal Theory is based on "the pleasure of searching": starting with this? 

Jesus: Hi! Thank you too. 

Well, this idea is based on science and knowledge. Scientists are continually looking for something and this search is precisely what moves us to discover, find and explore new paths and ways. 

As some scientists say, and I love to say “Happiness is in the anteroom of Happiness”

LFdM: There are important influences in your album as Tiamat or Anathema, -- what do you think about their way to compose and create a special atmosphere?

J: Yes, we have some influences from Tiamat and Anathema. The ways these bands compose are wonderful. Each of them has their own sound and all of them are capable of leading you to the dark and the deep like Tiamat or leading you to the transcendent, from sadness to happiness, and sometimes they will take you to another place or to the other side like Anathema.

LFdM: "Mystery Timeline" sounds have inside much progressive reflections -- how did you get to this kind of music?

J: Under the concept of “The pleasure of Searching”. Also, I found this kind of music because I believe that before you write a song you need to have a reason for writing it, and in Mystery Timeline each song tells a story, a thought, desires or experiences through the sounds.

LFdM: The artwork of your album is wonderful ..what is the meanings?

J: The cover is the Prague Astronomical Clock and the meaning is once again the Mystery of Time.

It´s wonderful to look up to the heavens and think “When you look at stars, you are looking at light from the past, but when you look closely, you are looking at light from the present.” In short, I felt it was amazing to “See The Past and Present at the same time”.

LFdM: What can we expect from Universal Theory in the future?

J: We are working on new songs for the new album (Second Album) and we hope you keep listening to Universal Theory and hopefully later you can see Universal Theory on stage all over the world.

Thanks so much!

It’s been a great pleasure talking to you.
