1. Hello. You come from Finland, cold and dark, with roots of Beherit, Furia and Impaled Nazarene. Let's start with this, tell us about your scene today!

 Hailz! 
I feel like there are two sides to the scene. We've played with some really cool and fun bands that can deliver. Sometimes I see bands that don't have any kind of charisma or presence on stage, they just stand around and play their songs and when it's time to speak on the mic they sound like scared little pansies. I wanna see a band that's gonna get off the stage and kick my ass! That's what I try to do at every show. If you're not willing to die on stage, just stay the fuck home! 

​

2.One demo and split with Abigail. Why so little and yet such success?

 Depends on what you consider success hahah, but I'm happy to be able to play shows whenever we get the chance! We've had some roadblocks along the way. A year ago we were about to hit the studio to record a new EP, but as things turned out we had to get rid of our drummer and get a new one. It's never fun to kick a friend out of the band, but ultimately it was the better choice. Now we have new tracks recorded for an EP and a possible single release in 2024. Hopefully sometime next year we can finally record the full lenght album, but right now we are still focused on finding a label to put out this new material.

​

3.You are of different ages. Doesn't this conflict with past experience?
 Yep we are from 17 to 45 (ish)! I suppose sometimes there can be some differences, but nothing we haven't been able to work out. I think it can be beneficial to have both youthful hunger and ambition  mixed with some life experience.
 

4. Lyrics - tell us something about them and why are they so dark?

 I write about my life experiences and mix them up with dark fantasy and horror. Most songs are a part of a concept that all take place in the same world, they have different characters so the songs aren't necessarily all my opinions, they are stories and things that these characters are going through. I like to refence a lot of things like my favorite bands and other stuff, but I like to leave it at a vague those who know know basis. I don't get asked about my lyrics often, I think it's the underated part about a lot of music that people just don't really seem to care about.

​

5. Covid, war (two), how did it affect you personally and the band?

The band was formed around 2019 and we were writing our earliest material during the lockdowns  so we didn't really miss any shows. Once the nonsense started to clear we already had our set ready!

​

6.Finally, a shout from the north for those who don't know the murderous cold!
 I despise the winter! It's cold as fuck and even the icy ground is trying to kill you, most importantly there are no festivals, it sucks so I can't recommend! But also it needs to suck so I can be angry and write more pissed off lyrics haha!
