Hail Greek Metalheads!! We just finished our brand new CD, The Book of Heavy Metal which is definitely our best work to date. We've also been working on a DVD, a CD single, and a video clip. Quite busy I must say..........
There is no story or a concept. It's just a general idea to create the manual of how to play Heavy Metal music hahaha!!! I mean in a great metal CD, u need fast solos, loud drums, great vocals, great ballads, really hard rocking songs as well as speed and powerful songs with melody.
While doing Evilized album we realized that most of the songs we're good at writing, are mid tempo and more hard rock stuff. So, this time it also happened that most of the songs that we brought to the table, were mid tempo. To us it doesn't matter if they're fast or slow, we mainly care that we have GOOD songs in our albums
Not the best track in my opinion, but one of the strongest songs for sure!!!
Like I said, there is no story behind this album. It's just the way that we would write a classic Metal album (or at least, try to) by building our own Heaby Metal manual! 🙂
I think the band became popular so fast because it's considered a super group. Of course people like Fredrik and Snowy Shaw have a history behind them and that turned heads when we formed Dream Evil. I think this album will be even more popular, because our label is really pushing this release 100%.
I don't really know about this, as I didn't discuss it so much with him. He didn't seem so troubled though, like he was when we did Dragonslayer. This is our 3rd CD and it's more of a normal process for us.
Yes, it's done and it turned out killer I think!! Just wait and see my friends!
No, not really. We are currently busy with other things and we wont be able to make it to these release parties.
Dream Evil will play @ Earthshaker festival in Germany and Lorca Rock festival in Spain this summer. However, I will not perform with them, as my busy schedule leaves me with no time to play these shows. There will be a stand-in guitarist for me. I'm sure a Japan tour will follow and some European tour as well, but nothing confirmed so far.
Hahahahaha!!! Actually we don't practice at all!! We just meet 4-5 days before we do a show and we rehearse a few hours. However, it helps that we're all good performers and we know how to do our jobs well. So rehearsing is not a problem.
I have a schedule that I always work out. Of course there are times where I don't have time enough to play some shows or do enough promotion, but there's always solutions to everything.
Thanks! I was not in charge of the cover, so I know nothing about it, except that Snowy worked closely with Media Logistics artists, to make it happen. I agree that it looks really cool and symbolic.
Yes, I think so. We've achieved things way beyond our expectations even with our first album.
No, we don't make a living from Dream Evil. Everyone got their own jobs and I play with 3 other bands, so that's how I make a living.
I've only seen 2 reviews so far and they're 10/10 and 98/100, so it doesn't get any better than this!!! 🙂
I think everything's fine like it is with this release. I'm happy with it and so are the other guys.
Yes, we usually all write the songs. However, this depends. On this album I contributed with 2 songs only as I was working a lot with my other band Firewind. On this album Snowy did most of the songwriting. We also wrote one song altogether and that's Lets Make Rock.
Yes, there will be a limited digipak edition of the album which will contain a bonus DVD. The DVD includes documentaries from our tours as well as making of footage. It's really entertaining and there's a lot of crazy shit in it!I think the fans will dig it!
Of course!!! Where do u think we live??.......... you gotta be careful with the porno sites though hahahaha!!!
No, never. I hate reality shows, I don't watch them and I've never considered participating in any of it, even if my band was on it.
I wanna thank all my brothers in Greece for the support!! Check out the new Dream Evil CD and I will see u all with Firewind @ Rockwave festival!! I hope we play Greece with Dream Evil as well.
More results...
