interview in Hard Rocker - Poland
....................
Welcome, this is Darek Konicki here, from a Polish Hard Rocker magazine. I’m sending a few questions for the interview. I would like to ask you to respond rather promptly. I would also ask you to send the band’s logo and 2-3 high resolution photos (300dpi) needed for the printed magazine.....
Yours sincerely....
....
1. What’s your definition of Cyber Metal?....
.. ..
Our definition as well as the main way of playing of cyber-metal is Style where we mix strong, powerful rhythmic riffs and melodic progressions with electronics and cyber key parts, as well we include catchy cleanvoice refrains with original melodies. For people who didn’t know our stuff I may explain this in a couple words as parallels with bands they know: Our place is where Prodigy meets Fear Factory and The Kovenant. ....
....
2. You were playing Black Metal at the beginning of your career. Then you’ve gone away from this genre. Hasn’t Black Metal got anything interesting to offer to listeners anymore?....
.. ..
Yes, we were used to play BM, btw we moved to a new style, coz we were not a number one BM band, we love that style but we moved in case of to be original and make something new, at least for ourselves. Black Metal is a perfect style with strong and powerful music and ideology compressed and splitted together. However this style is so common so there is very difficult to make something new, something what haven’t been played by someone. BM flame will be alive until such bands as Behemoth, Hate, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir and many more will stop their careers. Keep The horns high!....
....
3. You released “Nexaeon” in 2009. This isn’t a new material, is it? Why wasn’t it published earlier?....
During the time of working on Nexaeon we did some mistakes which caused the not very catchy quality, btw during the promo work we decided to move our way to another style and decided to release Nexaeon just for our listeners and fans, who love this material. Material from Nexaeon is a very interesting and catchy but have not a highest range in sound quality.....
....
4. How important to you and your music is the appearance of musicians and stage design for concerts?....
We estimate this factor as very important, that’s why we are working hard on image, live show, our costumes and appearance. Our shows are very good support for engine of our career, which really starts now on new canvas of cyber-metal.....
....
5. You played a few concerts with two Polish bands - Hate and Behemoth. How do you remember those events?....
In case of this question firstly I need to say that I really love polish stage and polish people . While we toured in support of Behemoth, they were godlike for us, btw we had a very friendly relations, they were so amicable. ....
We have a friendship with Hate, with this band we have a very strong relationships. We spent a lot of time together, as well as vodka drunk, while we toured in Russia and played together at Brutal Assault v13 in Czech perublic. Adam Adsinner will sing in one song of our coming album, as well we’re signed together to the same management company – The Flaming Arts Agency. Besides Behemoth and Hate we have a very good relations and friendship with Crionics, they are really Kickass guys, we surely love them and we had a lot of funny situations while we were touring together in Russia.....
....
6. You have a very extensive network of street teams on myspace. Does it already bring any tangible results for the band?....
I might say – yes! This work brings us new fans, our myspace community is growing day by day, we’re receiving a lot of request from a different radiostations and channels as well as webzines, this way we’re promoting ourselves besides of another ways of promotions we use. For bursting of promotion on a myspace I show my gratitude to all our team managers, especially to our Renata Drzymala(Polish StreetTeam) and Freyja Awbrey(UK StreetTeam)....
....
7. Are there many supporters of your genre of music in your country? A lot of people come to your concerts?....
Yes we have a lot of listeners here in Russia, there is a lot of people who like cyber-industrial and modern metal, BM styles in non-casual ways. That’s why we’ve became the first runner-up of the Nation-wide «Na Vzlyot» contest competing against more than 1000 rock-bands. In 2007 we won the Rock nomination at a contest held by Russia's Ministry of Culture in Southern Russia, while in January 2009 we finished as No.2 in a contest held by Metal Radio, with over 500 other Russian bands participating.....

8. Any chance of you performing in Poland?....
I think in 2010 we’ll have some dates in Poland, our management now is working to book us for some gigs and tours near your area. We will highly appreciate if you’ll report about these gigs)))) ....
