Hi my friend! Everything is really good at the moment and we're working and playing at full throttle!!!While I'm writing to you I'm packing the last stuff before to leave Italy to Czech Republic, since we're going to play there at Under Dark Moon Metal Fest as headliner! Everything is real good ​

Thanks a LOT!!! Uhm…good question but I think we cannot answer since it would be like to ask to a fish if the water is wet hehe. We're too much "inside" our music to understand what makes it different from many Power Metal bands in Europe. What I can tell you for sure it's that we don't follow any precise style, we just compose and play the music we like. No matter if it has many or few influences, no matter is it's something very Progressive Metal or something more straight. We don't hate to be labeled of course since it's a natural reaction but we avoid to be stuck into themBEJELITis like a melting pot that could mix a lot of different music styles adding, of course, its personal touch.

​

Oh no, the Punishment 18's guys are really amazing and they did a great job with our previous album "You die and I…"but we felt that to promote at the best the new "Emerge"we needed to make a step further. So we got in contact with Bakerteam Recordsand they are doing the best work for BEJELITand to promoter "Emerge"as well! We're really happy about them and our partnership is strong!

​

Diversity is the key to listen to "Emerge" for sure but the darkest chapters of it are the first song "The Darkest Hour"and the last one "Boogeyman"but to be honest all the songs have a negative situation that needs a strong reaction. For example in "Dancerous"the plot is about the very last night on earth. Our lives are close to end for a catastrophic event, no matter what, and the real question is "What should we do now? Cry all night? Or gather all our strength to dance, to drink, to have the wildest and biggest party on earth?". So we use a very tragic situation to find the reason to "Emerge".

​

"Emerge"isn't a concept album or something like that. Of course there's a common theme line about the lyrics and the general mood. After a dark and quite obscure album as "You Die and I…" we needed to react to that mood and write something more direct and more "happy" . I think it's the natural path for our music. "Emerge"'s songs are linked by a more positive way of thinking' dominated by the will to go on and not to give up.

​

Since they're a very good "Deus Ex Machina"to use to create a storyAnd they fit so well with heavy music and heavy riff, minor melodies and so on. It's what I call "Cinematic approach". If everything is positive why tell the story? It would have been so boring.

​

Fabiois a very theatrical singer who likes to put different style and voices in his singing. It's a very good weapon for us since we're able to write very different stuff without the problem of his singing style. I really appreciate this. Of course there are some styles where he gives his best but at the moment I'm writing we didn't find too much difficult style for him. Quite often our songs are intended as dramas so we start writing music thinking' about the different characters and/or the narrator of the lyrics. For example in the first song of "Emerge", "The Darkest hour", Fabiois speaking about  depression that brings the character to a fluctuating state of mind so I think it would be natural for Fabio to use a wide range of different vocal styles.

​

Our band's name comes from a Japanese Manga called Berserkwhich was our first lyrical influence during the first two albums. It's a talisman which could realize your deepest dreams but it requires a sacrifice. It's a very rough comic but all in the band were used to love it. Now we prefer to have some more personal lyrical themes.

​

Another very difficult question. It's hard to say what music style kept us together during these years since we have all different influences. They go from IRON MAIDENto HELLOWEEN, from IN FLAMESto STRATOVARIUS, from Classical music to Pop music. It's quite impossible to define a single music genre at least. This maybe it's the strong element which kept we together and which permitted us to arrive at "Emerge".

​

We're touring Europe and of course Italy during these months with more than 35 gigs then we'll play at some big European Metal festivals in Czech Republic and in Croatia. It will be a nice summer I thinkThen we're going to play some more gigs in autumn and after that it will be the right time to work on some the new stuff we're composing yet.
