T: Wow, I never thought how the title would sound when translated! Its kinda cool! Anyway, the story behind the lyrics is about a Golden Boy who went bankrupt. This guy lives in a cardboard box until a garbage truck accidentally picks him up and dumps him on a landfill. The journey back “home” begins and all sorts of mischief and jinx hit him hard track by track. The inspiration was of course bad luck. When we think of a new song we always picture the hero being devastated by twists of fate and bad luck. This time we thought that each and every song should be about the same person so that's how the idea behind the concept was born.

N: Plus it's a lot more fun to torture the same guy 14 times in a row! So we keep on raising his hopes again and again throughout the album, only to crush them beneath tons of bad luck. Pure fun!

T: The guy on the cover is the hero of the album story. Just like Pappous, he suffers a great deal when his bad lack ruins his life and almost leads him to death!

N: There are no real semblances except the bad luck part, I don't even think he's that old. He looks like crap, but if you take a look at the booklet artwork (by Rubus) you'll see that when he shaves and finally looks like a normal person again, he's no more than 40-50.

T: Haha, not far from reality though. The schedule was tight but we were able to deliver on time.

N: Thanks to modern pharmaceutics, tons of tolerance from our women and no real life to speak of between rehearsals/recordings and our jobs, we made it right on time. We then resumed our zombie-like lives. Oooh the warmth of meaningless days passing!

T: I'd like to think that we are much better musicians now. We have progressed and thus were able to make a step further in terms of production, performance and songwriting. The new album is definitely more “mature” (I know it sound ironic haha) and diverse. It needs its fair share of listening sessions.

N: It's quite darker. Not all the time, but at 3 or 4 points, stuff gets heavy and/or depressing. Diversity is clearly the word here, both musically and lyrically. Not everything is funny this time, although it's almost always expressed in a funny way.

T: Staying local is what got us so far and I don't think we have any reasons to change. After all Greek is our native language and we are able to express our thoughts and feelings in a much more direct way. People can easily relate to that. I am a fan of language diversity when it comes to metal. I can easily listen to any language of the world as long as the music is good. So I think that a foreign listener who can overcome the language barrier can find many interesting elements in our music.

N: I wouldn't say never to anything cause I almost always regret that. But I guess there's no reason for that, we're pretty happy that we can really TALK to our audience. It would be weird otherwise. Plus we don't have to worry about the no1 “yikes” factor in Greek lyrics, i.e. the danger of them becoming corny or cheesy. And if they do we can always say we did it intentionally. [evil]Mwahahahahhaa.[/evil]

T: Can you keep a secret? We would like to make our own multilaguage version of a new song. We have talked about it and maybe will present it in the future!

N: [facepalm]Well done. Our secret is safe now.[/facepalm]. Yeah, I really like tags.

T: I would even go naked or dress like a woman as long as I could share the same stage with the Kings of Metal!!! So accept all the way! Although it would be difficult to find leather clothes to fit Count! Many animals would have to be slain in order to obtain enough leather and that might lead certain species to extinction!

N: Now I'll have to masturbate to that thought. Thanx.

T: Trampakoulas is a character created by famous Greek comedian Harry Klynn. All the black metal pseudonyms containing Necro in various forms was the inspiration behind Necropethamenos. Count “Varg Vikernes” Grishnackh and Warsteiner beer is the secret behind Count Vargsteiner. Satrigiannis is of course a tribute to Satriani. Tafoplakium is a funny way to call a tombstone and Qurada is the equal of shit!!!

T: Oh my God, I hate dilemmas like this one!

N: As long as there's food of some kind, we shall endure.

N: Our advice is to not think of your sales. Starting this whole thing is about you being happy because of the music you make. If anything more comes your way, sure, grab it, but it will always have to come second. What you should really focus on is writing, playing, having fun while doing all that and giving people the chance to listen to what you've done.

And that's where internet comes in. Who's gonna buy your record if he has no idea you exist? What label is gonna get interested if you're not there for them to find you? There's no real difference between the way the internet and copied audio tapes work, both mostly promote your work. If someone likes you enough, he'll eventually buy your stuff too. So start off by giving your work away for free. And when you get a record out on a label, be glad someone was interested enough to copy your stuff. It means you're getting heard more.

Plus, you're downloading tons of stuff too you little prick, give some back!!!

T: Hey guys, check Anorimoi music out! You might find some very interesting tunes! You may not have a clue 'bout what we are talking about but after all music is what really matters!
