Kweizar is a Costa Rican band that was born in mid 2009, founded by Harold Avedaño, Wilson Montero, David Salas and Cesar Salas. They had an idea of creating a Power-Melodic-Death Metal.
In early 2010 Christopher G. De Haan collaborates as a vocalist with the band on what would be the first recording with the theme Life`s Price.
After several months in search of a stable vocalist for the band, Kweizar get Joshua Alpizar, and with him is presented in the battle of the bands CONTRA CULTURA. They get 2nd place and then Joshua left the band due to personal reasons.
Finally joins Christopher De Haan vocalist to complete the lineup of the band, after some local performances, the band decided to continue the recording process of a future demo...
Kweizar are:
Cristian Angulo - Voice
Harold Avendaño ‒ Guitars
David Salas ‒ Guitars
Cesar Salas ‒ Bass
Wilson Montero ‒ Drums
MVB: First of all Cesar and David Salas are relatives?
Yes, Cesar and David are brothers.
MVB: What is Kweizer meaning?
Actually it is Kweizar and is a phonetic transcription to the word “quasar” which is an astronomical object that has a black hole in its center, it is so explosive that this black hole isn't able to attract all it mass so repels some of them creating a very impressive figure.
MVB: Why you choose that name?
So in Kweizar we like that idea and since our music is very explosive we saw well similar.
MVB: How the idea of Kweizar started?
It was growing while we were practicing covers just for fun, we thought we were able to compose songs and become more serious as a band.
MVB: How do you consider the evolution of the band since "Everything Shall End" (2011) until nowadays?
Very good, we are sure that the progress can be seen through the songs, in the composing part as in the quality of the recordings.
MVB: In “Everything Shall End” we noticed a strong influence of guttural voices such as Carcass, Children of Bodom and Deicide. Talk about your voice influences in the search of your own style.
Since Christopher de Haan has been the vocalist in almost all the recorded songs he has his own influences such as Job for Cowboy however we have been emphatic in the use low growls and high growls changes.
MVB: Let`s still with the “Everything Shall End”. We consider it has a powerful influence of Power Metal. What do you think about it?
Yes they have a marked influence of power metal; the most representative could be “The End of the World”.
MVB: Tell us about your experience in Contra Cultura contest?
It was really funny because it was our first contest and our second presentation in public, so we have a big expectation, the contest had only one winner, but at the end they decided to mention the three first places and we got the second place. That meant a lot for us.
MVB: Why Josué Alpizar left Kweizar after Contra Cultura contest?
He was not able to be part of Kweizar any longer so he decided to leave the band. It was a matter of time.
MVB: Christopher De Haan belonged Kweizar`s history. Why he left and what was his most important legacy?
We are completely sure about his legacy was the strongest and potential he throw every time in the stage and he left the band because he entered in Corpse Garden and they demanded exclusivity.
MVB: Talk about your experience in Megapositivas 2011 Metal battle band contest?
It was a great experience since it was a contest in which we will be more exposed. There were more than 30 bands and was not only Metal so it was going to be hard. In that contest we got the sixth place but we were very satisfied because the jury gave us a very good grade.
MVB: We noticed in the new four rehearsal tracks released (2013-early 2014) that Kweizar is leaving the
Power Metal influence and now sounds more Death Metal. Are you agreeing with that or Kweizar is looking for a new identity?
It is true that these new songs have less power metal influence but it doesn't mean we are leaving it. There could be new songs with more power metal or other genres we are open minded and we do not close any door.
MVB: Which was the first Costa Rica metal band you heard?
Mandragora.
MVB: Personally what do you think about the tico metal scene and other metal bands?
We see more professional releases and more professional gigs, so the scene is growing in quality and quantity. Even though there are some bad factor, like for example the support of people, I think the scene is getting improved.
MVB: Future plans?
We are looking forward to release a full length album with all the songs and three more (we have to compose) in a professional way.
Listen Kweizar "Everything Shall End"
Demo (2011) four tracks.
Life's Price
That’s the man
Who doesn’t matter the price
his pleasure means all
mercy is not allowed
the chosen way will return what he deserves
the beginning or the end
that is when to pay
it's the perfect balance
Joy to pain
Sad to bliss
now don't regret your actions
cause you are in one arm
life will have a big change
beauty for bust, eyesore for win
And all the things you do
Will be measured by life’s price
it's the perfect balance
Joy to pain
Sad to bliss
Never regret your actions
cause you are in one arm
life will have a big change
beauty for bust, eyesore for win
heed the lifes price
she is the helpless girl
She saw her life torn
By the claws of lust
The causes brings effects
Lost dignity was not a choice
A new shining life was the ware
Taking over to the horizon’s line
Justice was done by lifes price

Someone should name them
Since you know the term
Can I feel the same of you?
Explain with words
If you feel the desire
A new beginning will come
Let’s read our minds
Let’s match our source
A new level starts
Look at my blindness
see through your blurred sight
And discover me
A new created space
you can go in
You can step in the heart
Without tearing
an empty hole
this is your mind
a strange speech
compared with mine
you don't have the reason
I'm not near a little
an unique existence
is a complete universe
A new level starts
Look at my blindness
see through your blurred sight
And discover me
A new created space
you can go in
You can step in the heart
Without tearing
so many things to assimilate
but what I see all is so weird
everything you always said
was neither a touch of what I see
my hate is near your hope
angry is almost like truelove
digesting these silent ideas
from a distant call beyond you
The End Of The World
every goal achieved
is a restart point to spread your sight
new things to think
we have a joint idea
expectation in spotlight
progress is a road to the end
owners of the entire aptness
the true story and all the crypts
is there nothing to be?
our spirit is dead
mankind disappear
at the end of the world
death is not waiting for us
limited by ourselves
nescient til the end of the times
destruction of the world
a tragedy that will not come
keep with your crossing
no one talk about a closure, not yet
our curious nature is implied by default
destruction is not the word
a tragedy is not going to come
our spirit is dead
mankind disappear
intelligence would never take a biased decision
with satisfaction and flutter
we are going to the next stage
all the effort and the old failures
led us to the end of wisdom
we must know what is there at the end
our spirit is dead
mankind disappear
at the end of the world
death is not waiting for us
limited by ourselves
nescient til the end of the times
destruction of the world
a tragedy that will not come
prepare to reach it
all knowledge enough
awaiting the new age
what the end contains
Dead Again
my sight
has been intercepted
unexpected situation
made me go astray
death was made to be lived
to create a desire of it
time executor of fate
creator of hazards to clash
unforgettable past just allows es restiveness
surprised by the visit of this phantom
a farewell left a hope but
so many things have been left unwritten
another world
another life
new perspectives were assigned
another cycle starts again
once again to be dead again
we are death
pure and utter death
past stays in the past
but my blood is frozen now
as every soul taken by this angel of death
there's just flesh for worms
but death denies a second chance
so many memories past fast in my mind
we are the ones that shall destroy you
walk out of our way
we burn all that you fight for, we burn
your ideals away
we are death, we are death there's no scape
we are death, we are death, obliterate
scream ghouls scream, we are the hounds that
shall destroy you, we are the hounds
scream ghouls scream, we are the hounds that
shall destroy you, obliterate
we erase all evil, all fear, to conquer a higher state,
breathing fire, the blood begins to run
crawl to the shades, crawl to your head
begin this reign in fire, impostors will deny to his life, the blood begins to
crawl to the shades, crawl to your head
begin this reign in fire, impostors will deny to his life,
the blood begins to run.
