IKER: Thanks to you for your great words about our new release! I'm Iker, guitarist and vocalist on Grave Noise and it's a pleasure to been here.

Iker: The creation of the band is a simple history: we knew each other because we are practically family and we live in places very close to each other. One day we discussed the idea of getting together to play songs by bands we like and that's how Grave Noise came about.

Iker: Actually Iker has been the vocalist since the beginning of the band, so that figure did not have to be replaced.

Iker: As I mentioned before, I have been the singer and guitarist since we formed the band in 2013. It is always difficult to play thrash metal and sing at the same time, but with time you get used to it.

Iker: I have composed all the lyrics except two that had already been written from previous years. At the end, I always ask the rest of the band for their opinion, but they are mine. Also, Sara, my partner, helped me with the structures and others. Music is more collective. We usually bring individual ideas that we put together to reach the final result.

Iker: I am anti-fascist and in recent years, the rise of these currents has increased a lot, so I did want to reflect the anger I feel every time I see these characters generating hatred within society (and I won't say more because I don't want to end up in jail). The problem of depopulation in rural areas of Spain is also addressed. The area we come from will disappear as we know it sooner rather than later, so I wanted to reflect that reality as well. Finally, there is also room for such an important topic as anxiety, since a few years ago I went through a very bad stage related to it and it was something that marked me a lot. In short, it is an album that speaks of current affairs with the rage that characterizes us.

Iker: When we finished recording the album, our producer, Alberto Marín, already told us about the company and, later, they themselves contacted us to see what we could do. The truth is that we are very happy with the choice we made.

Iker: Yes, the lyrics talk about serious and important issues, they have a message that aims to reach people. On the other hand, the music is also different, it is more elaborate and designed to hook people together with the voices; we want to hear people sing with us at concerts! The recording process was new for us, since we work with a producer and that makes the difference. The entire album was recorded at Savage Estudio, our guitarist Edu's recording studio.

Iker: The design of the entire album has been the creation of Juanjo Castellano, a true beast of art, as well as a great guy. It brutally reflected the idea we wanted to convey and we are very happy. It is a cover created to stop to look at the details.

Iker: This answer is very personal, but I love all topics, and I say that with pride. To stay with three, I would tell you that my favorites are Perpetual Anxiety, No One Higher and Broken Land. I think they reflect the album in general very well and the message they convey is very clear.

Iker: I would tell you no. We started with this to have fun and, if we could reach more people, the better. We would all like to play Hellfest, for example, but what keeps us going is how much fun we have together playing wherever they want us.

Iker: We are fully prepared to play anywhere. We are not intimidated by playing in Europe, Japan or Latin America. Unfortunately, to carry out this type of tour you have to have a good economic base, something that, today, we do not have. But we would love to cross our borders and go far.

Iker: Thanks to you! It has been an honor for Grave Noise. Keep on Noise and respect to the others!
