Did you have a specific sound in mind when you formed the band, or did that grow and evolve as you played together?
The basic idea was to make old school black metal music using corpse paint and other “equipment” but when Asen join the band, the music become in something more melodic …we also change the tempo, faster and faster.
How does your writing process normally work out?
We live in different cities and the rehearsals are not so often, that’s why we create song part by part. Krum create the main ideas he send them to the others, after that Asen do the melodic parts, Kamael and A. Catacombs think about their parts and when we play on rehearsal we make the full song.
What are your ambitions and how far do you want to push your band?
We try to do more and more live gigs in different countries, our ambitions for now are to visit some big festivals.
What are your influences/musical references and the impact those same influences had in your sound?
We are fans of different kinds of metal bands, we are trying to be strong, powerful, fast black metal band with melodic parts and uncompromising vocals.
What’s next for you?
We are preparing our next 4 songs EP or may be it will be split with other band. We plan more concerts and we hope to realise vinyl release.
