It's doom metal, so it is supposed to be slow. Just kidding. Since the release of "Clouds" we have had a lot of changes in our lineup, and not at the same time but let's say once a year. Then you have to start looking for new people and they need to learn the existing stuff. So we had a few years that every time we thought we could move forward, someone else decided to leave. Mind you, it was always with mutual understanding.

Regarding the album name, we got the idea of incorporating the concept of "The Stages of Grief"(1. Denial; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance) into our songs. So the album is kind of a concept-album if you will. It is sometimes difficult to find things to write about and we found this idea helped us. We all know the feeling of loss, whether it is in death of the end of a relationship, and the concept of those stages is something we, and I think most people, will recognize in some way. Not that we think these stages necessarily have to be followed, but there are parts of it everyone will recognize.

I haven't been in the band that long, but that's pretty much it. It is the Dutch word for "fail". Back in the day they thought it sounded cool and the were able to come up with a great logo.

There are quite a lot of Doom bands in the Netherlands. I could name Officium Triste, Abysmal Darkening, Treurwilg and more. Also, I don't believe Doom is limited to any country. Some countries maybe have a longer history, but it's everywhere (fortunately).

Yes, we do. Of course we can't see into the future, but we really think this lineup is here to stay. And the unity is hopefully apparent in the new album, which we really did together.

We have had some great times with the guys from The Drowning and Eye of Solitude. It would be fun to do that again.

That could be a really long list if the six of us answered that question. We listen to thrash, death, grind, doom, funeral, stoner, sludge...
But for me (to name a few) My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Slayer, Skepticism and many, many more.

We are doing a few release shows. In March at Haunting the Castle festival in Belgium and in May at Little Devil Doom Days in Tilburg. And we should probably start writing new material so you won't have to wait for six years again 😉

We have a few shows lined up. Hopefully the reception to the new album enables us to do more shows and possibly a tour. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for having us here and same to you!!
