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?
The new album is conceptual and the music must follow certain patterns at the time of writing. As always we do what we want to hear and the recording came out great. It´s a different album from the rest and yes, we´re happy with it.
How would you describe/label the music on it? Does it sounds like anything we might have heard before?
I cannot label our music. Well, I can say it´s metal, of course, but we mix so much things on it that its difficult. I never heard any band doing something like what we do or sounding our way, personally, but make no mistake, I´m not saying that like if we´re reinventing the wheel, we drink from Sabbath, Soundgarden, Bolt Thrower, Dark Angel, etc... But we do it our own way.
Where was it recorded and how much time did it take you to record it? Any interesting stories from the recording/producing the material?
We spent like a month or so in our second home, Koba studios, with Xanpe producing. The most difficult part this time were the mixes. We wanted to do something more chaotic and brighter than the last time, something very different than previous records. At the end of the day, you have to work your ass off to get what you want.
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?
The artwork is based on the lyrics, absolutely, but to find out about the story you must read them, don´t want to talk so much about it. Nick Keller did an amazing work for us.
What do you expect to gain through this release? What are the band's aims at the moment?
From the start of the band, we never had this delusions of grandeur, thinking we should be the next big thing or whatever. We do what we do and the only aims of the band are recording albums and playing live. If something bigger must come, so be it!
Is there a special format the material is released in? Or is it released in multiple formats? How many copies were pressed?
Don´t know the total amount of copies but the record is released already in CD and Digital Download. At the end of the year it will be available in a deluxe 2xLP
Where and how will you promote this new release?
Playing wherever is possible, that´s for sure.
