1. What are your main musical influences?
1990s progressive metal and ambient/dark ambient music are the genres that inspire and excite us the most when it comes to composing. Bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Pain of Salvation (on the progressive side), and artists like Julez, Repulsive, Trapeia (on the ambient side) are major reference points for us.
2. How would you describe your musical style?
Our musical style blends 90s progressive metal with a more modern sound, sometimes even bordering on pop, bridging past and present with ambient and ethereal nuances. It’s definitely a technical and inspired kind of music, but one that always leaves room for melody and emotion.
3. How does one of your songs come to life?
Our songs almost always start with the lyrics. We often write about emotions or situations that people may encounter throughout life, all from an abstract perspective so that anyone can relate to or recognize themselves in the text. Once the theme is chosen, we begin with a rough draft of the lyrics and try to translate the feelings it evokes into music. Once the musical base is ready, we refine the lyrics, and that’s when the song truly takes shape.
4. What has been the most difficult song to write, and why?
The most difficult song to write was “Just A Mask,” mainly because it’s one of the few tracks where the musical base came first and the lyrics were written afterward. That made the initial writing process a bit uncertain, and the solo was particularly challenging to create due to numerous metric changes. Fitting everything together took a lot of time, but in the end, we’re very proud of the result, and “Just A Mask” is now one of our audience’s favorite songs.
5. Is there a musical genre you’d like to explore in the future?
We’re very excited about evolving our sound by exploring different musical genres, while still staying true to our progressive and ambient roots. In particular, we’d love to move toward a more aggressive metal style, with tighter, more impactful riffs, and try blending it with modern horror music, which draws heavily from dark ambient. We’re already working on something along those lines and feeling very enthusiastic about it… but all in good time.
