First of all as Always thank you to Lifechapters for giving me the Permission to write this Introduction.
As the Readers of this Blog most know by now, I'am often on Spotify and switch through so many Artists. And in this Sence i found also Lifechapters!
Many groups that I know have achieved a certain status, but there are also some really great underground bands that deserve recognition. Personally, I am more of a symphonic, speed, or power metal listener, but sometimes I also explore other genres or sub-genres.
The Line-Up is as such
Igor Goularth (does Everything)
But since the lyrical themes (Anti-suicide, Corruption, Decay of modern life, Ego, Greed, Human behaviour) of the songs speak to several people, I had to ask if I could write about him. Thankfully, he said yes!
The solo project debuted on June 16, 2020. With their album Anti, they quickly stormed into the hearts of fans.

Of course we couldn’t resist asking our questions! Andrew answered everyone of them in the most honest way imaginable.
Ceyla: "Is there any band that inspires you the most? Or, if there isn’t such a band, where do you draw your inspiration from? If neither applies, how did you come up with these two sub-genres, if you can still call them that?"
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
L.C: "I draw inspiration mostly from past personal experiences and life, both good and bad moments. I don't think I have any specific band to mention as a musical inspiration, I just play/compose what I feel it's right for the themes or concepts I work."
We can confirm that you can detect some influences from the things mentioned if you listen closely. All these different structures come together in a unique melody that one can only guess at in his songs.
Black Metal, at least from what I've heard, is for people who hear a deeper meaning in music. And I think that applies here too.
As you can hear throughout his discography, you quickly recognize and notice the bombastic power that lies in his music. The meaning of some lyrics also becomes clearer bit by bit.
I did ask myself if I should ask this to every artist since not everybody has the desire to be on festivals or events, but nonetheless, I ask.
Ceyla: "Are there any festivals or events in Germany, or even worldwide, that you would like to attend? Some of them always offer opportunities to apply."
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
L.C: "Kinda hard to say. I live in Brazil and travelling outside the country is somewhat expensive, but I would love to do if money allows me. And I hope to not disappoint anyone, but I don't play live with any of my projects. Last time I played live with a band was back in 2009/2010. I did some live guests from time to time, but even so, my last time live doing guest vocals was around 2016/2017. I prefer to be more productive in studio. Writing and releasing more music is what works best to me."
We can only agree, you don't necessarily have to go to big festivals even if they attract the most attention. Maybe one day we will be lucky and be able to welcome him to our region.
Of course, we always give artists and musicians the option to leave a message for the readers. These messages are always very heartwarming, even if you shouldn't mention them in metal. And yet, they are all absolutely lovely people.
Ceyla: "Is there anything you would like the readers of this blog to know about you and your music?"
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
L.C : "Well, I would like to thank everyone who took some time to listen to Lifechapters or any of my many other projects! I hope you can find something that resonates with you. Lifechapters isn't over, but hibernating. In due time, new music will be released and I have some nice plans for the next releases (yes, more than one!). All the best!"
So if you want to meet someone completely new and enter a different world, then Lifechapters is for you.
