- 0:00So I'm pricking about out the singer and Theda the rist of your rows up.
- 0:03We are releasing a new album called Jailbreak on twenty nine of September.
- 0:09Yeah, the ful thanks for joining us the same name. Thank you for
- 0:12this opportunity. Now Worris as he signed a verstable be relation in your latest
- 0:16album, job Break on September twenty nine, So i's on. How are
- 0:20you feeling. I'm sually super excited. Man. We are working for this
- 0:24new albums since the twenty twenty one, like a four months after we release
- 0:28A Perpetual Chaos, we started working for this new album and for me,
- 0:33it's like a big step in my career because it's the first time that I'm
- 0:39being a singer, you know. So I can't describe how much excited I
- 0:44am to show whoever one when I was working very hard since the last months.
- 0:52So can you go into the album a bit more from a musical point
- 0:54of view and tell us what you're going forward with it? I think it
- 1:00is album. It's a super revolutionary in their was a career because we have
- 1:06the second guitar right now. It was something that we had in the beginning,
- 1:11but we never recorded any album with the two guitars, so it's a
- 1:15big change in it was alive and also me talking personally, being a singer
- 1:23was a huge challenge in a very short time and period and I get my
- 1:29best and I had a lot of fun. It was very experimental album somehow,
- 1:38but at the same time was the most fun times composing this new album.
- 1:45And we have a lot of diversity in this new album. We have
- 1:49a different kind of style of metal everything combined with the trash. You know,
- 1:55we have a trash and death metal altogether. We have to have a
- 1:59metal that shall have the metal with the trash meadow. We have punk with
- 2:04the trash metal again, and we have some kind of melodic death metal,
- 2:10melodic trash metal. We have some a bit and one song black metal maybe,
- 2:20and we put everything together in a mixer and we try to bring to
- 2:25this as an album. But we are super happy with the result. They
- 2:30have to say to date, your relationship singles, endless, ambition and job
- 2:35right. So we decided that overall their good representation of what you expect.
- 2:40It's because if you considering all the songs in the album, I think it's
- 2:46the biggest representant for what there was was doing for all of these years,
- 2:53and there's like a mix of trash and death metal in one song. So
- 2:58and for just where we keep the surprises for later, you know, we
- 3:04say okay, endless ambitions. It's aggressive and have all of the elements that
- 3:08we were doing. And I think was a nice way to start with presenting
- 3:15my vocals too, and with a great solo from Elena Katina. And but
- 3:22it's always very hard to choose a song a man, it's very hard.
- 3:29And you mentioned the album Pertectual Chaos before, like this album follows on from
- 3:32that. But Peture What Chaos had like all myst three million Spotify listeners,
- 3:37it was very popular album. So that put extra pressure on you going into
- 3:40this run. Yes, and not. Of course a Perpetual Case is our
- 3:46biggest table team now. But at the same time, I was really believing
- 3:52in two guitars. You know, it's just something that I think we could
- 3:54bring in the band in another level because of two guitars, and also we
- 4:00bring some different elements. We tried to include it more, more people,
- 4:05more proud of without to let the treasure metal roots behind. You know,
- 4:12this is what we try to do and also because we have a new composer
- 4:15in the band, which is a Lena Kutina, and she's very influced by
- 4:19tradition of half metal, so I really felt the necessity to open the doors
- 4:25for she bring her style to the band. And that's is the reason that
- 4:31I was not afraid about the second element depression that I felt was more about
- 4:41me with myself, like what I was expecting for myself like a singer.
- 4:47You know, this was a very sharp period. I didn't have so much
- 4:51experience and I didn't know how to expect, you know, like I was
- 4:58just looking behind it say it's a very difficult thing because I have to perform
- 5:05us as I know this for many years. It could be compared with other
- 5:12singers in the band, they didn't have the same chance to have that much
- 5:15experience to recording an album. So but when I started to say like it's
- 5:20just need to feel the music and do what needs to do, you know.
- 5:27And of course I can't a great opportunity to work again with Martin Fouria,
- 5:31which is a great producer that he was guiding me as well. So
- 5:38I think all the team that we have and all the conditions that we have
- 5:42contributed, you know, for me not to be anxious about be not better,
- 5:53but you know, show some evolution about this new album I mentioned Lada,
- 6:00but this album also I featured a pretty fresh lineup of the whole band.
- 6:04So I can you introduce us to the new members and tell us what
- 6:08I bring? Yes, four months after we release a perpetual cause, I
- 6:15just sent a message into Willna Katina, which is the second guitarist of their
- 6:19blosing and I just say like, look, you were amazing and I'm looking
- 6:28for a second guitarist inner Rosa, do you wanted to are you interesting?
- 6:33Just say yes of course and say okay, let's talk more. And I
- 6:36have some kind of a lot of conversations and talking and first style it's a
- 6:45fit very well here rules and then we start to work for disnew albums.
- 6:49It's twenty twenty one, so but we have to keep in secret because we
- 6:56have to give this step in the next album the best leven a lot of
- 7:00new members, it was better to keep this in the next opportunity. And
- 7:06we had Mikael and Naidanova, our drummer like enjoying the band the last minute
- 7:16and she saved it. Our life, composing the songs like the last minute
- 7:21in a very quick time, very professional way, and very creative. She's
- 7:27the most creative drummer that I worked with. She's really talented, really happy
- 7:31to work with her. And Elena Contina recorded at the base of this new
- 7:38album and because we were still waiting for Mia while us if she could come
- 7:45back. She's having some personal problems, but unfortunately she could not join us.
- 7:54And then after we finished the album, I called help Yer, which
- 8:00is our current bassist, and she could participating only one song, which was
- 8:07Seed of Death. And I again, I know that I say this many
- 8:13times, but I really can't waited for the next album for this girl's participating
- 8:18even more with the compositions and mainly to have help hire style and more.
- 8:28That's awesome. And I also love the cover image of the album, like
- 8:31it's got someone's face literally being ripped off, like it's quite morbid, but
- 8:37it's tasteful at the same time. Exactly, it's a bit uncomfortable because it's
- 8:41like a bit trick. You don't know if they are taking the mask or
- 8:46putting the mask. Ah, yes, everybody asked it to me, like
- 8:52the school is taking the mask out, putting the mask and say it's taking
- 8:56out. We are talking about the freedom, you know, like you know
- 9:01when you have a job that you don't like, but you have to work
- 9:05with that because it's money thing. And you were pretending that you are a
- 9:13person that you are not just for you be accepted, you know, for
- 9:20a society. It talks about death, like the life is short and you
- 9:24have to be proud of who you are and you don't have to be afraid
- 9:30to be who you were. So take the mask out, be free and
- 9:33be happy. You know. This is talks about day breaking. This is
- 9:39the conception of the COVID Very good Yours, I fat, Gary Holt and
- 9:43Lina Cissar hands is guest issues on the album. So why why choose I
- 9:48was too paid for to bring into the process Jerry Holt because he's one of
- 9:54our biggest idols and he wasn't Yes, it wasn't in the top of released,
- 10:00and I sent message to him. He answered very quick and he made
- 10:05this happen in a very short period between two tours. And I remember when
- 10:09he sent it the solo and we put in the session meaning a little that
- 10:13we got emotionated because it was a dream come true and I was like,
- 10:18no, I can't believe this company. And also then A Scissors gans is
- 10:22super special participation because it's the first time that we invite a women a woman
- 10:28to participate in it was an album and I still don't understand why we did
- 10:35it this before, But okay, this is that there's another new surprised part
- 10:41this new album. And I love the way that she performances in this song.
- 10:46It's a very different kind of voice and different technique of voice, and
- 10:52I think the result it's great because it brings the tone of the modern metal
- 11:00go to the song. I think, let's make richer this song. I
- 11:05really like. You guys are also going to be performing on seventy thousand Tons
- 11:11of Metal next year, so you're like, I know that's a little way
- 11:13off, but that's gonna be exciting. Wow. Yes, for me,

- 11:22excited to show this amazing experience for the new girls that never never had this
- 11:28a chance and experience before. And man, it's really great. We have
- 11:35a lot of it's a cheap with the only with the metal heads, but
