Please tell us a few words about the new release, about the music on it as a whole or a few words on each track in part. How are you happy with the final release?
It was a tough time, we were trying to find the most comfortable way to release an album. We stopped on a digital release with "Metal Scrap Records!"
Album has many styles power-metal, folk, death, symphony and has a progressive sound. Production take a lot of time and power. All what we did, we did without sponsor help. This album is 2 years of our work. Thank you for the support!
How would you describe/label the music on it? Does it sounds like anything we might have heard before?
We bought new 7 strings guitar for the recording. And album sound became more powerful and aggressive. Also we record real instruments such as violins, violas, cello, oboe. A lot of voices, choirs. Thanks to our friends who helped us with the parts! Also a big sample work.
Where was it recorded and how much time did it take you to record it? Any interesting stories from the recording/producing the material?
The album recording takes place in "EdRecords" studio in Odessa. When we recorded the chorus for "In The Name Of Fathers" we did not sound as "good" as we need for men’s choir. So, we went to the market and bought a lot of beer as an inspiration :) we have many stories! But we tell this another time...
What can you tell us about the cover artwork? Is there a link between the artwork and the lyrics? What are the topics of your lyrics?
Kirill Green and Eugen Dis did the Artwork . Helga, our friend from the band "Naama" helped us as a model. Honestly, we did a link to the lyrics, but it is for our listeners to find out..
Our lyrics is the fantasy stories and thoughts about life as it is, or could be...
What do you expect to gain through this release? What are the band's aims at the moment?
If our fans say : "Thank you guys!" it's all what we want. Also we're writing new material for the second album. Wait for this, guys!
Is there a special format the material is released in? Or is it released in multiple formats? How many copies were pressed?
We wanted to release this album in all formats. But we had many troubles with this in our country: money, sponsors, etc..And this goes only in digital form.
