  Speaker 1: Take you away and tell us what's been happening.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: All good?
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, actually were happy that we are here. Yeah, really
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: glad we're talking together. H Hope you like the album.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: I believe that you have already heard the album.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did, and we've got said that the other
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: day I gave listen.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: It's pretty impressive. It's yeah, definitely, it hits hits all
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: the right spots. Is that is that new style for
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: yourselves or is it pretty much in.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Line with what you've been doing before? Yeah, the album,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So is it similar to what you've done before? Is
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it something different that you've done on previous other albums.
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: It's quite different, I think.
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: Because of course you can understand that it's your theory album.
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: But I think we we succeed succeed to go it
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: let's any further, because we weren't afraid to be more,
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: experiment a little more with the music, including uh, Gothic metal,
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: including traditional Greek music, more ethnic uh and.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: My more ethnic parts.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: But still you can listen to classic rock and to
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: extreme music like trust metal, that metal, even some punk stuff.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I think so, I think we.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: Have succeeded to make an album with each other different
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: each other each tracks different each other, but still we
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: have at the core the sound of your theory like
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: it was from the beginning with with let's say, some
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: influence from the Atlantic Greek black metal of nineties.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, but with an eye in the future of course.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so yeah, I'm sure Ron is not maybe
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: not so familiar with that yourself, certainly are or ram Stain,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: and he is a wonderful music and melodic then yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it's been influence.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think you are very correct.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: We have.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: I think we have a mixed the well, uh, let's say,
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: a melody with traditional heavy metal but still quite brutal
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: in some parts.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And like you said, it's got that distinctive, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: ethnic sound as well that you can definitely pick up
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: in it, which kind of I think it makes it
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: out easier for people look in It's it's something that
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: they can recognize.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: I think I think that the core you are right,
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: it's this distinctive, special, leantic sound, you know.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we love it. I was actually been
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: listening to ms they Alwaken with a friend of mine
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: giving the George Land loud.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: It's always I'm really happy to know your discopinion from you,
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Is it your theory and being together?
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: You know, maybe I have to to tell you that
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: my history started back in mid eighties with throt in
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Christ of course, okay.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: We create something different from Norwegian and sound of course.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: Of course we wear black metal, but not as you
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: as you said, but not the Norwegian black metal. But
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: comparing contherea, I think we are a new band and
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: we don't continue exactly this let's say lantic black metal.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: Maybe we can call it like the new wave of
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: Alantic black metal.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a generous isn't there metal in a new metal?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Melodic metal? Heavy?
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: But my but my, in my opinion, and we did
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: it by purpose, not by accident. We are we are
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: a metal band, so we we like to release ourselves
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: from many labels and just to leave our subconscious create
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: the music we love with our wrong way how you
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: can lay I think in total your theory is a
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: is let's say, heavy metal band with with all of.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: The ingredients of metal.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Nick can add his opinion as well. Okay, yeah, this
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: this is my point of view.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Actually I think that Jim governed me a
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: lot you're talking about the album.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Everything works probably and of course we the music, of
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: course is dark, of course it's not both, but also
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: it's emotional. We mixed I think with the most correct
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: way in the melody, with the kind of aggression from.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The typical aggression of hellenic black metal.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course you.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Can still hear the whole strong black metal feeling, but
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: also the part that the final music.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it's the center of it. You're essentially
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: the core is metal metal.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And the most important thing I believe in never in
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: your album.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: For every band, it's to keep your your identity and
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: at the same time explore new ideas, new worlds. You know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: you cannot it's not it's not the best thing for
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: you to replicate yourself on the release again on the
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: gain the same album.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree. I agree, exam.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: And of course you're very right. In the core it
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: is metal.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think your theoria is like metal magic freedom.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, then you can come up made from that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: But the essential part of you that drives you and
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: that passion and that that sounds that you know, that beautiful,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: beautiful sound we all love and resonate with it is
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: that you know, it's hard, it's heavy, and it's from
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: that you can Yeah, that's more like the melodic side
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and you know, and that definite black metal hellenic sound
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: as well, that eating comes through.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's it's nice when things combined.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: For myself, I love adding things, you know, like things
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: and like just different electronic stuff to mettal and to
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: change it up.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so's exciting what comes out at the other end.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: For sure, it's really exciting to see that what do
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: we try to put it out it come to the audience.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: For example, you told me now that you get this feeling,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: so I think it makes me happy.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it's all about, isn't it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: You know, as a musician, we if we have one
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: person you know, that resonates with it, it loves it,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: then I may I feel like that's my job done,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And when that replicates the mass, it's even better.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: And I guess you Fanti is a good indication to that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: It's a really I think it's it was the meaning
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: don't replicate ourselves. Yeah, it's not so easy because always
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: there is.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: In every musician has I think his own style. The
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: good thing. But the good thing is uh me Nick.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Of course we are very close each other like musicians. Yeah,
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: we have also a different way, a different style.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Of making music. So I think.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: It was let's say, the secret of success, of success,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: the difference, the difference of the way we are composing music,
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: me and Nick. And of course there were also the singer,
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: the new singer that in my opinion, he has a
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: distinctive voice that helped a lot the band to vary
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: from let's say, from the p from the deput album
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: as the play with her and even he tried a
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: lot to differate, differate himself from a blessing inferno.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: So in this.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Album he he was available to large his voice and
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: from a clear, clear vocals, the brutal vocals he offered
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: to the album and optimistic in my opinion, you how
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: let's say extreme metal can be here.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: And the vocal composition, I guess these cells like you've
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: got the option of you know, so bilingual, I guess,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: you know, and when it comes that comes across as
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: not even.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Being absolutely Yeah, the fans, it's all about the music
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: and the sound which is kind of you know, special,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: It's why really.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Of course, it's all about music. This is the best.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So have you guys ever like tried to
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: pick it up before and they were like a whole
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: album in English, or you just thought a bit of
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: half and half mixed it up and see what comes,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: or you just stick to what you guys are doing
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: and defend by scholars alone can explained to way maybe
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: if you understand.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: That about the vocals. I think that in my opinion,
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: from the beginning I started to listen to metal, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: connected metal with English language.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: So for me, no English language, no metal music.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Let's say, of course, okay, just kidding, just I said,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: I expressed my opinion. But it's like, for example, Greek music.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: If you don't sing in Greek music, it's not Greek music. Okay.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: I think metal is totally connected in my opinion, with
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: English language. Maybe in uh you can't use some other languages,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: but it's not it's not for your theory, it's not
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe that every every language have something magical
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: in it. But you know, Eli language is the most
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: easy to sing musical.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: It's musically kind of the way of expressing the words.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: So would some words next to each other and make
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: something more works and actually buying better music. But sometimes
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: you can be used as an elements different.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Kind of of languages.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: For example, there are a lot of bands used to
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: sing in English but use some phrases in German.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Or in or in whatever, or the Greek.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: We have already one song, it's the last song of
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: the album, Ye called Government Fallen. You can say, you
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: can hear there that we don't have only English.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Language, Yes, yes, yes, yes as.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: Well because it works with this kind of way. It
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: works like a like an extra element that can give
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: another perspective to the sound and something new to the audience. Yes,
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: for example, we hear a lot of Ramstein. Ramstein is
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: a big but they are huge names. But they are
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: used to sing in German, a lot of Ramstein songs
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: that if you try to hear the songs, for example,
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: in English, because they.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Have already probably it does.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Some sounds, right, it's some it's something like you know
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: English comedi.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but sometimes they're trying to replicate the American ones. Yeah,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the same scenario, and it's not the.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Same because so much loss in translation.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, express the humor. So it works with the same way.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you know.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's some that's what but but yeah, and that's
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: kind of good that you can do that. You've got
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: that option to like use like the phrases and sentences
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: because it works. But it's interesting because they often say
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: English language is one of the hardest to learn, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: it's it's difficult, but I've said in terms of like
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: rhyming and doing lyrics and vocals, it's it just seems
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: to work better with that flowing cadence, which is it's
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: interesting that with like hearing you stuff get.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Used to it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: You know, you're playing games, you're hearing music. Yeah, a kid,
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: so it's something that becomes natural for you.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something some singing in English socially when we
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: are talking about rock music or metal music.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, even even if you like to, for example,
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: to make a vocal line. Yeah, a lot of times
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: that we are working with russetom in vocal lines and
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: it's easier for me to say to him, okay, do
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: something and sing for him in English something. Maybe I
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: can say one to three, one to three, one to three,
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: it doesn't matter, but if it's in English, it's easier
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: for him and easier for me to communicate each other
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: and fix the musical line easily.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So when you're writing your music, do you guys
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: come to it with lyrics first and then music, or
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: you've got the music first and then.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: It's the music first.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: Actually, yeah, you know, we're working with the most easy way,
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: with the most honest way.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: We are just starting jamming on idea.
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: If the idea good, it can leads you to the
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: to the whole rest of the song.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: Actually, the music is one really simple thing. You just
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: have to have a lot of emotion in you and
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: have to have a lot of love for what you're doing.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: If you have one a good idea, we start working
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: on it. You have the whole song ready. Sometimes the
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: best songs, the biggest, the biggest hits. If you if
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I'm saying the music industry, that's one hour.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's the It's the music the leads.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: The lyrics is the how to involved with the lyrics.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: It's about the feeling you received from the melody, from
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: the fastness.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Let's say what about it?
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: It's let's I say, if the music is dark, you
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: have to build some more dark stories.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: You so partapoly the music for me, Yeah, and the
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: lyrics in.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: General, most songs started with a simple idea and then
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: we've just been arounded the atmosphere a lot of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: of the on, the on, the kind of where we
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: want to go or the musical don't rush, And with
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: this way we let the songs grow naturally, you know.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: And of course with this kind of thinking and with
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: this kind of composition, at the end, each song has
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: its own character. And that's why with this way you
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: can build an album without this getting bored for the
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: boring for the audience. It's really important to create imagies
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: in the listener's mind, you know, it's so important, and
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: this is the whole mystical feeling that creates the images.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: And you have to just think about your personal journey
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: and combine the lyrics of the music and do this
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: way you can build something really really important for everyone,
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: you know, for.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Sure, for sure.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: So how long did you guys spend in the studio
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: making this album? Did it come together pretty quickly?
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Or actually the album is not the beginning to work.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: We are beginning to work on the album in the studio.

• 14:56

• 14:58
  Speaker 2: work a lot on the song. We discussed a lot
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: of each other. Actually this album, I believe that it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: almost three years that we are working on it.
• 15:07

  Speaker 4: heard one of your songs on the radio and where
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: you were and what you were doing.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutly? What was the first song? I can't remember remember.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Hm, which what was? Can't be that one other?
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: So maybe I can remember, my lad, it's very very
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: hard to remember. Maybe when I was fifteen, wow with
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: a band before Rotten Christ. Yeah, my first My first
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: track was a track called the Black Church. It was
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: at eighty five, I think. But to be honest, I
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: have made a lot of tracks. I can remind if
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: I'm correct, my first time my first track with your
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: theory must be.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Maybe I think ather his Way from.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The p Yeah.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's hard to remember, don't.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: I'm not if I I'm one hundred percent correct.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's because you had a success before about itself.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: But you know, these days, you know a lot of
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: things are saying because of the Internet, So I don't
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: know if radio has the same impact to ourselves. Like
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: the like before, he's older and he's in the music
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: industry a lot of years more than me.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Has this experience with the radio and.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: How it was, So you come to a lighter in
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the light in the flown.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: But you know, cooting for myself, it's really impressive. How
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: how is it now?
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: It's to upload something in YouTube and then you can
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: earn moments and you can see on real time how
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: the people in the act with this kind that you
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: have published. And I think it's most it's it's it's
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: better than the radio actually because in the radio you
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: hear your song gets up on the air, but you
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: don't know the other people.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Think about it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: With YouTube, you can you can know every people every
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: every year, what kind of you know, where they're from,
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: feeling the song makes him feel.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: So it's older, it's aly. It's a beautiful thing.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: And I believe it guides you to know better the
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: audience and no better and feel Thiel the audience is
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: the most proper way.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's definitely more targeted, Yeah, definitely, Yeah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: You find out actually there it is.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: It is and I guess it's a double edge stall. Yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: it could go two ways. I think you know where
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: you you pay too much mind to you know, your
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: analytics and seeing what's tracking rather than just like you
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: said before, knowing that or hearing it on the radio,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: or that you're knowing that people are buying your albums
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: going to shows and not really having that other engagement
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: rather than you know, direct interaction it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like it definitely allows more targeted and more precision.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think for some artist it probably could
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: be counterproductive as well if you way too much into it.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: But it's definitely you just seem to say it's I'm
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: not gonna lie. It's always nice to read just that
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: analytics and just thing wow.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: But in the end, all these internet, you know, platforms
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: are very helpful for a new band.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, it was back in the days.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: It was very very hard for a band to promote
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: his music was really.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Really bad.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: To promote it's uh music, very very because I was
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: into it and it was really hard.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: For us, yeah, to be the name.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Especially we were in the south of Europe, far away from.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Let's say civilized.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, so I think, uh Internet maybe it
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: has a lot of negative things, but it's like.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: The night think it's definitely keeping any metal alive and underground.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like the knife.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: It's like the knife, you can cut the bread, but
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: also you can kill and another man.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: It depends of the mind. Yeah, the mentality.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: That's a technology. Well I like that. So yeah's purpose? Yes,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: very much? Sorry, so so yeah, So you guys got
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: plans to tour at all?
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I got the new album out to that? Or was
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: the rest of twenty six looks like.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Actually a lot of Soulis Planet already were starting
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: this the end, by the end of May, we are
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: starting Europe to summer, summer Europe.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: To Actually, I think that you're there. It's a more
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: live band. We are not so studio, but I think
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: we are totally live. And I think after the album
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: will be released at my eight, I think we will
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: have a lot more proposals for more.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Tours, for more festivals, for more.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: And I hope we will be able to to play
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: for the very first time in USA as well in
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: the in the near future.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Let's see.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's excited.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: So you guys haven't played with the sides and have
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: you been in another before happened that?
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we have played almost every place in uh world
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: that metal of course is allowed. Okay, yeah, yeah, we
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: can play in some countries you know it better, but
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: not in the USA so far. It's it's it's a
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: bit difficult situation for us, you know, with the taxis,
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: with the business visas.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it can be because it's fair.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: It's not close to yourselves like distance wise, and it
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: becomes costly because it's big production when you're travel and
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: you're doing touring shore, that's for sure.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And so it plans to come down to Australia as
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: well in the States up first.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Australia.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we we have talked with a metal merchant, with
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: some other promoters.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: We are in waiting, but let's go that the new
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: album will.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Open the horizon because Australia is a great place, of course,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: and there is a bigger metal.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: It is it's growing very quickly and not just our own.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: It's it's really fun way it's.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: About the cost to the very big course you know.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: That in Europe. Yeah, it is.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: It's it's costly and we're even further away than say
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: the States, and yeah, it's so unfortunately it does come
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: down to that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: So if we want to see you guys.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: But I definitely agree with the metal scene in Australia
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: is becoming more.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: It's becoming bigger with our own bands as well.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: You're not feeling like they need to be you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: export the staying put and you know, bringing out bands
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: like yourselves. They're starting to come more and more, which
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: is cool. And we have those a little mini festivals
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: that you know that are starting to you know, support
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: and be that nurturing breeding ground for bands like yourself
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: to come and do your thing out here, which is
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: who make it obviously, you know, financially bible rather than
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: doing a headline or something.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: But I think that after the would be easier.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Let's hope you guys really so Yeah, so the album
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: comes at my eighth and people, we are hard to
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: see your theory out here.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely definitely need more of that, more of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that in the world.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: It's it's for me. I think it's a very quite
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: a poetic, beautiful thing. But I agree there's a lot
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: of those bands that it's you have to experience them
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: live to hear seeing on the radio not so much,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: but live it's like it just resonates through your whole body.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: It it's definitely an experience.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: We are really like banned, and I think that it's
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: the meaning of Metala to be close with the funds
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: and to change this energy. Of course we need the radio,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: we need the interview, but the personal contact with the
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: audience is the best thing for me, This personal conduct.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, no, one hundred percent agree.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: It's a there's no I have to say this that
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: regardless of technology or come what may, that you can
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: never recreate or replace that interaction between artists and their audience.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: It's it's something that's quite unique and special, and it's
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: you know, live music will always always have a place
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: as long as human beings continue to be human. I
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: think it's something that we crave and that we certainly
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: we love and embrace as an artist and as a
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: you know, a listener. It's there's just nothing like it,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: like that life sound in a room like that can
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: be created as it is. It's magical, it really, it
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: really isn't you know. For centuries of human beings being human,
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: we've always had music, you know, in our culture and
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: our existence to some degree which there's something else I
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: think is always quite interesting, that's an inherent part of
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: us that yes, it was real.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: It's really a big true.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: I think that the music is very important for the humanity.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I think that that's that's the focus that people, you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: when they think, oh, music industry, it's like we're not
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: going anywhere. There might be like pigs and trots, like
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: there isn't anything in life and things change, so but
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: there's always going to be a place and a need
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: for music and musicians and life music to experience and
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: be experienced.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So really, really, really really I totally agree with it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, especially in the crazy, crazy world that we live
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: in now. Sometimes it's the only Sunday we have. It's
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: just plug it all out and just put musical and
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: just log in.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: And sometimes yeah, it's like this.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Sometimes it's not about every let's say, every show for me,
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: has he's shown worth, he's shown a different every show
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: for me, it's like it's like a journey to my
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: inner world. Yeah. Also it's something that released me from
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: a lot of bad things.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I was just gonna I mean, I.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Mean a psychological and of course okay, yeah, yeah, No,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: it's just because it is you're focusing on different when
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: you're playing, and spiritually, not only and spiritually of course, okay.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, it can be very healing in many,
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: many different ways for different people, and you know, especially
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: metal like, it's very therapeutic. Getting that is that you
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: have that aggression on that pintop, whatever it may be,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: you're expressing that with them, you know, that relief through
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: your ears and body rather than physically or verbally having
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: to you know, it's a it's a good place to
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: vent and to to buffer that energy that we sometimes
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: harbor in ourselves. That it's not that great, it's because
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: that's all we are is energy and transferring that into
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: something and being able to take that and with music
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: and transform it into something that's beautiful and and loved
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: and useful and positive. It's always good thing. So long
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: live metal, long live long leave the hard metal for sure. Well,
• 27:37
