Despite what people may assume our name has nothing to do with the common conception of the Greek demigod. The name stands as a sort of metaphor, as what truly fascinated us was the idea of an external force or entity that influences our deepest, core emotions.

Since we started thinking about the album we felt that no song could become the title track. Each song lyric is written as a sort tale, each one has its beginning and its end. The topics are quite varied and can easily be described as horror/sci-fi. This is why we decided to call the album "Decahedron", ten separate faces that together form a solid entity.

Everyone in the band listens to different kinds of metal and since the beginning of the band we always tried to take advantage of this in the writing process and not limit ourselves. For that reason we combine a lot of different styles, from black to death metal, some thrash metal and, like you said, even some "core" stuff, and then we mix it all with some epic orchestral parts!

Yes, we kind of feel the same because it contains every element that represent this album, and that's why we chose it as the opener! It's also very fun to play live!

For us the groove parts give the right energy to the song, specially live! I also find that they mix well with our most extreme parts! It comes out naturally when we write to find the right balance between the different parts, we write on a computer and then when we play we immediately feel it when something is not in the right place or if it's too much for the song.

Thanks, but that's actually a guest solo by Paolo Di Stefano, the guitar player of the band I used to play in (Roots of Death). I generally like guitar solos a lot, but I feel that not every song needs one! I don't want to put a solo in a song just to show the technical level. When we're finishing a song we all agree if a solo could fit well or not.

It's not just you, I've listened to the Gothenburg sound since a very long time and it has inspired a lot my way of playing and writing, this however alongside other kinds of metal. When I started playing electric guitar my main inspiration were Metallica songs, I really learned a lot from them and James Hetfield remains my main inspiration for the rhythmic parts. I also like to practice playing a lot of instrumental parts, like Jeff Loomis' songs!

We're actually not sure how much these websites contribute, I just know that I find them a useful way to let people hear your music. I don't mind if people can listen to the whole album without actually buying it, I like the fact that anyone can just go there and listen to us!

That's obviously one of the parts we like the most and we put all our energies into it! Unfortunally it isn't always going like we hope. A big part of that is because of the new mentality "pay to play" which we don't want to be a part of, even if that means taking down important concerts, but we're not interested to pay for a 20 minutes set five bands before the big one! At the moment we're organizing a few things by ourselves for this summer, so follow our facebook page to keep updated!

We're already writing some new stuff and we started to think how and when we're going to record it!
