  Speaker 2: People love the new sound we're we're pulling a little
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: bit away from older sound. It's a bit more aggressive,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it's more honest, it's more Yeah. So we're keeping the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: theatrical aspect, but we're being a little bit more raw and.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Aggressive as opposed to previous was a bit more of
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: the melodic style, a bit more.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the melodic, the power, the happy, you know. Now
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: it's a bit more dramatic, a bit more honest, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: uh people love it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so any music sence, you've kind of gone from
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a a twain into an angry adolescent teenager your musical.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Growth, right exactly. It was the pain.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Faith This is how I really am. That's funny me.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: So how does that feel? How does that feel for yourself?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Performing that? You know, in that more aggressive tone, is it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Fight out? Is it more therapeutic?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Definitely. It's also easier for me to sing because I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: don't have to force myself, yeah, to sound a certain way,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and like it just comes out naturally. It's even the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: aggressiveness is gentler on my voice somehow, so.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Like you can identify with that as a bellow female vocalist.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And in the heavy style, I don't sing pretty. I
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: sing loud and yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, famili yeah I can do. I had
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to do it and it was fun, but it's a different,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: like you have to particulate singing differently.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and that's you know, credits the vocal range
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: that you have. I guess as well, and I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I know with myself. You know, the older I've got,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the more able my voice has been able to do
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: that and carry me through when it's just it's easier
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: for me than to sing the pretty star right yeah, yeah, yeah, same, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: More girls in rock, like you know, power to you?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: So are you there's self and believe they are two
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: females in the band.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: How many of us out in with yourselves?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So it's five us, the three the three that departed,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: plus you know, we have bass and drums and we
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: found really talented musicians for that and they're part of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the band. They're not just tired musicians. So we're excited
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to see how everything develops with them. But they're really talented.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: So excellent, excellent, yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And so previous do you say you had like a
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: lineup change as well as a sound change, and you
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: did that come with the like the lineup change changing
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the direction of your sound?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, because now we have
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: full creative control, so we can decide everything and so
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: our taste shines through and what the choice we make
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: are hours. So it's absolutely different. We're i mean, we
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: still want to keep it theatrical and some elements that
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you know, defined us from before. Yeah, but it's like
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we're evolved. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, even the Paul, Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the costumes, everything is evolved. And you know, so we
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: love that lot.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I love the theriggle on the performative side of you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: when bands get right into that. So tell it, tell
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: us and the listeners a bit more about how your
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: selves go about that, what we're previously doing in costume
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: in stagewise as to what the direction is now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So before it was nons and now we're priestesses, so
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the range is level.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's a total turns love it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: The hierarchy is hired. Is definitely a hierarchy, yeah, yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: priestess is. Yeah, they have much more control on whatever
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: order and the way of thinking they're trying to spread.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: But the costumes are also different. It's much more pre higher,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: higher priestess and it still has all the lethurgical elements.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not then you know, non typical costumes
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that was before.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Maybe we might find one shred it up and it
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: might makes an appearance, you know, and down the track. Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: it's a throwback to your former days, completely rearranged and
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: we're burning I.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: We'll do it. Well, that's a good idea. Actually, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: might put it in a music video like we're going
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to burn your boss.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: To Yeah, make an averaging of it somehow, and just
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: like you know with the new I A for sure,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: probably good idea, good idea. I would argue, like, no,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that's all good excepts.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: And it's fun when you get to even do that
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: sort of stuff and you can take that theme and
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: anyway you say, you can have fun with it and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it really makes you know, it expands that music experience
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: for not just yourselves but your fans in the audience.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And you know the.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Video obviously you know you've got more creative aspect there.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But you know when you go on stage two, when.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: You do live stuff, that's when you really throw some
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: fun out without having to turn to pyrotechniques so to speak.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, people really relate to things when they're storytelling,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and it's so much more of experience if you create
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a world. And of course, yeah, yeah, aesthetic is a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: big part of that. You know, esthetic is also a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: way to tell a story. So for sure, if people
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: get a lot like fans get really really passionate about
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the project, especially when there's this aspect of the performance involved.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know that's awesome, and so they can
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: be sure, you know, they get to do almost like
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a close play and they get to dress up with
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you when it's something I've seen that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And also again like if if if there's not much
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: of yourself but more of a character on stage, they
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: can project themselves even more into it because it's less
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: so much of like a person and more of a
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: symbol or the concept. Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, I.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Think that's all my stum. You know part of the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: metal genre, isn't it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's the extra element that we have is that you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: there's performance, performance and theatrical album side to it that
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: you know, it takes that real face and and our
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: listeners can identify in so many different ways and different
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: levels in it, you know, kind of it's a way
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: to expand you know that that you have in just
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: different ways as well as your music. It's not just
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: that they're connecting with it's a whole way you say,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: it's a whole theme and like a character and you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: you know, characters take on all my life of their
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: own really I think, actually creative aspect.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the Lord of the Rings before Obsessed. So
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: there's you know, it's horrible. Yeah, yeah, that's so true.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So true. And so with your your fans, do you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: find that you've got a wide fan base, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: from young to the old and everything in between, or
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: do you sort of tracking?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the older fan base, you know, that relates
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: so much to the eighties nostalgia. Yeah. And the younger
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: fans they, I don't know, they love it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Young people like anything these days, you can never guess.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: No, no, definitely not. But you know they're open minded.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So they see a project like this and that's true.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: And it's always funny when they find something on TikTok
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: and they go, oh, it's new and they think it's
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: new and it's really been around ages fine viral.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Like oh my god.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, it always makes me google when the young ones
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: think they've discovered something new and it's right. I keep
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: thinking that it's good. Son makes you readjusted and think,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: ship have I been around for that long? Like you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: a whole generation is like skipped and like not even noticed,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and it's like refreshing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: It's humble, likely refreshing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: So what are the plans for later in the plan?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: So I'm going tocuse me release that new album as well, and.

• 9:07

• 9:09

• 9:12
  Speaker 2: But and then we're planning on a surprise tour after
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the summer. But I can't say anything, and you know,
