Mark van Doren<\/em>
\nBy: Elvira Visser<\/a><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Hello, How are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Mark”Hi, i am fine”<\/p>\n

How did the band get started?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark” Well, in the early nineties we were known as former Aura. After 10 years Aura
\n\u00a0 decided to stop because we wanted to do something new and refreshing. After
\n\u00a0 several months after Aura had stopped playing, we started Scenario II with a
\n\u00a0 few members from Aura. We found good new musicians and did what we had to do,
\n\u00a0 make good new songs.”<\/p>\n

You guys called the band Scenario II, because it was the 2nd part of the band?<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”Indeed, we saw this as a second chance but the song scenario II has nothing
\n\u00a0 to do with this new start”<\/p>\n

The last gig was also the last gig for 2 band members, have you found new guys\u00a0or maybe girls?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”Hehe I wish we found girls. Last September we found Namtar our new drummer
\n\u00a0 and in October we found our new guitarist, Nick. He will not play the up coming
\n\u00a0 gigs in December because of the short time. Dirk, our ex-guitar player will
\n\u00a0 fill in for Nick during these gigs.”<\/p>\n

How would you describe your band for potential fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Mark”ScenarioII plays the Gothenburg style if you have to give it a name but in
\n\u00a0 our very own way, so you can expect some fast melodic riffs.”<\/p>\n

What makes the sound of Scenario II unique? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”We are tuned in c, that is what makes the sound more brutal but still very
\n\u00a0 melodic. All members of Scenario II have other musical background and like other
\n\u00a0 styles which makes Scenario II very interesting and really everything is possible
\n\u00a0 musically.”<\/p>\n

How would you describe the band in 3 words?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”innovative, purposeful and enthusiastic.”<\/p>\n

Can you explain one of the 3 words you connect with the band? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”Scenario II is more driven then ever. We have set some new goals and want
\n\u00a0 to achieve them no matter what. We have a lot of fun to play and would like
\n\u00a0 to contribute to the metal world, and leave our mark. Scenario II would not
\n\u00a0 exist if we would not have fun in making music and performing together on stage.”<\/p>\n

How was your first gig, performing? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”It was the funniest gig ever, Mark laughs, we had to play in Tilburg 013 and
\n\u00a0 I was really really nervous. I played the whole set faced to the stage manager
\n\u00a0 including the solo’s that I played. Mark grins. I was very shy and get shy again
\n\u00a0 talking about it. After the gig i waved like a child to the audience. So the
\n\u00a0 audience only saw me from the side during the entire gig.”<\/p>\n

If you could include a female vocalist for maybe one song, who would that be?<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”I don’t remember her name but she sings on a track off the band: In Flames.
\n\u00a0 I think the 4th track on their new album. I would love to try this out.”<\/p>\n

Do you have some funny backstage stories to share with us? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Mark”*grins* we have had enough funny experiences but we have some sort agreement
\n\u00a0 with the band not to talk about it. But it is alywas a lot of fun and very cozy.”<\/p>\n

Your going on tour soon with 2 Norwegian bands, how did that happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark” Well, when we played our first gig with Trail of Tears on our minitour in
\n\u00a0 Bibelot (Dordrecht),<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Kim, a member of the crew from Trail of Tears came to us and wanted to talk
\n\u00a0 to me in private. He was really impressed about our music and wanted us to go
\n\u00a0 with them on tour in Norway and that is how it started. Trail of Tears also
\n\u00a0 want to do more gigs with us and we will go with them on tour in Holland early
\n\u00a0 May 2008 and in Norway as well.”<\/p>\n

What went though your mind when Kim was asking this, don’t think you will be\u00a0asked everyday to go on tour with a band? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”We were very surprised and it felt like….FINALLY! This is our chance that
\n\u00a0 we deserve, because everyone is always saying that we are a good band but there
\n\u00a0 is never the chance to prove ourselves. And now we have. It felt awesome. Hopefully
\n\u00a0 the ice is broken.”<\/p>\n

What can we expect from Scenario II during this little tour?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”We want to show our fans that we have found a great replacement for our ex
\n\u00a0 drummer, Bas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 We will play the songs a bit faster then normally, that is what you will get
\n\u00a0 to hear and see.”<\/p>\n

Where would you like to see your band in the future, are there any dreams?\u00a0<\/strong>
\n\u00a0\ufffd
\n\u00a0 Mark”My dream would be to show the world what we do. See countries with the band\/friends\u00a0and meet new people who like metal! I hope we get a nice record deal and leave something behind in the metal scene. As long as we have fun together and play
\n\u00a0 in a lot cool places, my dream in music will come true.”<\/p>\n

When thinking of the future, is there a band you would love to tour with? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”I really would love to tour with In Flames or Soilwork because I get a lot
\n\u00a0 of inspiration of these great bands and Shakira, . Big grin on Marks face.”<\/p>\n

Which song would you like to cover and which song should be untouched?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”I would love to cover Anathema’s \u201cAngelica\u201d but this shouldn’t be
\n\u00a0 covered at all because is way too good as it is. I have very deep memories of
\n\u00a0 that song. I have the feeling that I almost melt if i hear it live.”<\/p>\n

Do you have anything to say to your fans:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Mark”Our website is online: www.scenarioii.nl\ufffd
\n\u00a0 Our plans in the near future are to record our new cd \u201cUniforms of Death\u201d
\n\u00a0 early 2008.\u00a0After this we go to Norway and visit our friends from “Rules of Engagement”
\n\u00a0 and “Eon” and tour Norway.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
