The Obelisk Questionnaire is a series of open questions intended to give the answerer an opportunity to explore these ideas and stories from their life as deeply as they choose. Answers can be short or long, and that reveals something in itself, but the most important factor is honesty.

Based on the Proust Questionnaire, the goal over time is to show a diverse range of perspectives as those who take part bring their own points of view to answering the same questions. To see all The Obelisk Questionnaire posts, click here.

Thank you for reading and thanks to all who participate.

The Obelisk Questionnaire: Lidi Ramirez of Lucifer’s Children

—

How do you define what you do and how did you come to do it?

I am currently singer of blues, rock n roll blues, heavy metal and doom metal styles, actually my style was always classic, especially with 70s rock n roll and I have an obsession with everything related with obscure and occult and I started to love music cause’ of my father, who plays the guitar and sing.

Describe your first musical memory.

At my school, when the waitress put heavy metal on the radio.

Describe your best musical memory to date.

When I saw Motörhead, Judas priest and Ozzy at the same time and when I saw Iron Maiden too.

When was a time when a firmly held belief was tested?

Oh, maybe when I was a teenager and I started to sing in bars and the people wanted to hear more.

Where do you feel artistic progression leads?

To do more and more.

How do you define success?

When you’re happy doing what you love and go perfecting what you like and makes you happy, also do more things.

What is something you have seen that you wish you hadn’t?

Wow, a lot of things haha but when I went to several concerts of musicians covering songs that they shouldn’t played.

Describe something you haven’t created yet that you’d like to create.

Many topics that I have in mind and maybe play the guitar and compose, can be?

What do you believe is the most essential function of art?

The transmission and everything you create, your feelings, your experiences, make other people feel it.

Something non-musical that you’re looking forward to?

Travel to go to concerts that I like, visit museums in many destinations cause’ I have an obsession with history, the truth, many more things.

Lucifer’s Children, Devil Worship (2020)

Netherlands-based DHU Records continues to scour this plague-infested globe to unearth the finest in cultistry and Sabbo-worship doom, and Paraguayan four-piece Lucifer’s Children, whose newly-digitally-issued debut full-length, Devil Worship, is streaming below, has met the mark. And so it will bear that label’s backing later this year — the three words that most define 2020: “later this year” — as DHU stands behind a limited vinyl edition of the album. This is very much the label’s M.O. It finds a cool record out digitally at some point and gets behind it for limited LP release. It’s a smart move and apparently sustainable — which is more important, ultimately — since the roster of DHU Records continues to grow and the riffs only seem to get murkier as time goes on. This is nothing less than an ecosystem at work, commercially speaking.

Thank you for attending my TED Talk on The Economics of Doom: Vinyl Sells. Please stick around for the afternoon session, in which I will expound on the value of tapes as a means of selling downloads at shows.

Oh, and here’s some background on Lucifer’s Children from the PR wire:

New signing to DHU Records: Lucifer’s Children

DHU Records is extremely excited to announce the signing of Paraguay’s Doom Metal outfit Lucifer’s Children!

Nothing makes the blood pump harder when one stumbles upon some good ol’ fashioned Devil Worshipping Doom Metal. Lucifer’s Children recently released debut album Devil Worship will most certainly make those neck muscles pulsate when banging unmercifully to the dark groove of Lucifer’s Children.

Lucifer’s Children, formed in 2017 by a coven of mutual minds; R. Doom (Guitar/Bass), Lidi Ramirez (Vocals) and Edu Centurión (Drums) to create a work of passion influenced by the Masters of Doom and Traditional Heavy Metal: Witchfinder General, Pentagram and Black Sabbath.

After a few months of rehearsing they recruit bassist Osmar “Ozzy” Duarte and will perform their first live show organized by drummer Edu Centurión.
Part of the live show was recorded by a person who had attended and uploaded the footage to several social media outlets, and immediately Rodrigo Echeverría from Chile’s underground label Alcoholic Distro contacted Lucifer’s Children and encouraged them to record a demo to release with his label. Around that time Bass player Osmar leaves the band for personal reasons.

In September 2017 Lucifer’s Children recorded their first 2 track demo called “Lucifer’s Demo”. Released independently on CD-R and on Cassette by Alcoholic Distro, it was not widely promoted, but was well received by those who heard it.
The second (and last) performance of Lucifer’s Children would be an invitation to a live show in Foz do Iguazú (Brazil).

In May of 2019 Lucifer’s Children recorded the second demo Dawning of a New Aeon which included two new tracks plus a cover of Rainbow Demon by legendary Rock outfit Uriah Heep. Dawning of a New Aeon was released independently in August of 2019 on 33 hand-numbered Cassettes by Alcoholic Distro.

Dawning of a New Aeon was met with great praise worldwide with copies being sold in France, Germany & Brazil respectively, needless to say, Lucifer’s Children were making their mark on the Heavy Underground scene.

In August of 2019 Lucifer’s Children also started recording their debut album to be titled “Devil Worship”, which was unleashed on May 18th 2020. Available on Cassette through Alcoholic Distro in Chile, on CD by Dies Irae Records in Brazil and a full wax treatment courtesy of DHU Records in The Netherlands in 2020

DHU Records is truly honored to be releasing Devil Worship (DHU056) on some very Limited Edition vinyl in late 2020
