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's the kind of songs I've always wanted to write and play. I finally found the right gang to do it with and we're very happy with how it came out. It's no frills and straightforward. 

How would you describe/label the music on it? Does it sounds like anything we might have heard before?
It's very influenced by classic thrash and early hardcore. Big influences on the sound are Slayer, Metallica and Overkill.

Where was it recorded and how much time did it take you to record it? Any interesting stories from the recording/producing the material?
It was recorded by CJ Ridings at his studio in Stone Mountain, GA. Mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit and mastered at Townsend Mastering by Nick Townsend.

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 art was handled by our vocalist Stenvik Mostrom. There is definitely a link between the art and the lyrical themes which are primarily isolation, depression, etc. It was all written on covid lockdown when I think a lot of people were failing to see light at the end of the tunnel.

What do you expect to gain through this release? What are the band's aims at the moment?
I would very much like people to listen to and purchase our music. Like everyone else, we're dying to play live.

Is there a special format the material is released in? Or is it released in multiple formats? How many copies were pressed?
It's digital at this time, but there will be a cassette release and it will be limited!

Where and how will you promote this new release?
Hitting the streets and playing live for sure.
