Hi there. We are very pleased with the album. When we initially released the album ourselves early 2011, we mainly wanted to see how people would react to our music. When the reactions turned out really great, we decided to look for options to get a bigger audience for our music. Massacre Records was willing to help us with that and since the release a few months ago, overall reactions have been really great as well.
I don't think much has changed. We've always had a good balance in the band and that's still the case. There's no need to get arrogant or feel more important.
Well, not really. At least not on the signing part. We do see some more people at shows and festivals that are coming to check us out. So you could say the interest in the band has increased.
Obviously, we want to get some touring done and play festivals and we are working on some things, but nothing is set in stone. It's too early to say.
Every song has its own story to tell. Some are kind of political, others are more personal. But there is no overall concept.
When we decided to go look for a label, we made a decent promotional package and sent it to labels we would be interested in signing with. Massacre Records was one of them and they liked our album and wanted to release it.
Yes, we have. So far we've composed about nine songs and are demoing some of them. We want to maintain the balance of aggression and melody, but also improve and explore.
We are working on new things for our live shows. Nowadays, it's not only important to play good music, but also have a good live show and we're working on the visual aspect.
Besides some shows and the new material, we are working on concepts for a new video for one of the songs.
Yes, we think it represents the album very well. It's a fast, aggressive song, with a lot of melody. Also, it's a compact song that has most of the elements of our album.
.
I love it. But then again it's my job. We had a lot of fun making the video. Obviously, these things can get boring, especially when you're doing individual takes and the other members have to wait a while. But it's nice to do things away from the rehearsal room.
Well, nothing really big. We are going to play in places we haven't been before. It's exciting for us to see how the people there will react and we are looking forward to meeting new people.
Thank you very much! Hopefully your readers will give our record a listen and enjoy it.
