  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we've been on full metal cruise Yeah yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: but it was just in the in the Scandinavian region.

  Speaker 1: Five days? Okay? Yeah, wow, five days.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of different different islands and stuff like that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Oh that's I'm a little bit jealous.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: So I we'll say, especially especially just cruising the Mediterranean.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But you know, with such an epic theme would be
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: pretty dark for it's sold out. The one here they
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: call I think it's called the Hell Bound Cruise and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: three days ago. Yeah, I'll check it out. Yeah, Parkway Drive.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I think it's headlining and a whole bunch of others.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so's exciting it. So the inspiration, where did
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: it come from? And is it different to what you've
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: done before or where does it sort of sit with
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: your rescue?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I think I think it's the same inspiration. The influences
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: that yet there, you know less like if I take
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a fan and I like the you know, the the
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: nineties eurodance music and together with yeah, the eurodance stuff
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: that's in ninety four is the year that I was
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: hooked by this, yeah exactly. And now I'm blending this
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: into the metal music you know that's a big Yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: A big fan as an Antarctica and start of various nightwish,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you know, the Finnish power metal stuff. So I want
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: to blend it, yeah, into this this epic style sci
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: fi melodic metal stuff.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You've got yourself a new genre that sounds of it, Yeah,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: very ryan, And you can just make your own genre
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: if it sounds like something.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so many genres that people tells me, like
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: eur metal and dal sci fi metal and whatever. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: don't care, I get.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Lost, but there is just so much And I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that's a really cool thing about metal as well, is
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that you know, it is such you know, it got
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: its core, you know, traditions, but it's also got that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you know, ability to to be playground with it and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: have that movement, and you can add things to it,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you know, whether it's wrap or techno or whatever it
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: may be, and it just elevates it and gives it,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you know, that fresh feeling, which is really cool. I like, yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: when tune John is combined, it makes us some pretty
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: good sounding stuff. So I did get to give it
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a sneaky lesson before, so I have to say it
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: was it's it's hard, it's fast, it's kind of similar
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to some of the stuff that I've put out recently,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: which I like, you know, you metal board.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It's just no, it is.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: It definitely is good for the stress relief or just
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it's a different avenue to get all the frustration out there,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: especially in the world that we live in these Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So how long have you guys been doing you thing
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: for now?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's been a little while.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: How long we will have been together.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I started off this band in two and fifteen actually,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: but the single left after the first release, the first
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: that the big album was in twenty seventeen, and then
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the first thing left, so it took a while to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: find a new one and finally I found Erica and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: now we have recorded like four albums together. So and
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I met Erica in twenty and eighteen, so nearly ten
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: years old.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: K And do you find that having that femal up
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: front is gives it that you band the extra dynamic
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and that edge that balanced I think sometimes can be
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: lacking in a test soster and field environment.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's a really you know, I really
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: think that this is very important for the metal scene
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to to two you know, both both men and women
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: and you know, put some pop and dance and stuff
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: into it, you know, just blended around and mix it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And I think it's a good thing for the metal scene.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. I encourage more girls and metal for sures.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You know. So it's a bit of a male dominated scene,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: but you know, I think in saying that it's also
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: very welcoming and supportive, you know, being female and that
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: sort of especially being in front you know Front and Center, which.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Is nowadays there's a lot of female front the novel
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: West and I really love to listen to them also,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's cool.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just say it's all those easy I get
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: my kids and how finally got something to do with
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: my voice.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is. It's awesome.
• 6:55
