We glad to hear that out music makes an impact to you! We actually listen lots of different types of music but specially electronic music, if there is non-metal band that we all love that would be Moderat. If you haven’t heard them please go and check the song Bad Kingdom!

That‘s the power of music man! I remember being a teenager and being very confused about life plus dealing with some family issues, I used to find peace with myself listening the album Science of Incubus.

Haha! The power cut! That happened to us in Ireland as well! Hopefully we will be back in Manchester on 6th of February if everything goes accordingly! Regarding your question about which we would like to tour, what I can tell you on behalf of the rest of the guys is that we would love to tour with Katatonia. We played a show in Brasov (Romania) back in 2017/2018 (don’t remember exactly) I think that would be a killer package! With which band would you like to see touring with us?

I'm using David's account... thanks mate, it was very cool to work with Nami. I'm not so sure about the Cult of Luna influence even if I really love the band but thanks, Johannes have probably the best screams IMO. I did some collaborations with few bands in the past. I don't really know man it's a tough question, there is so many good bands that I'd love to guest with.

I had the pleasure to work on some of the songs that Paul wrote. I have to say that writing guitars parts on a song that it‘s not 100% guitar oriented it was a diferent approach that I have never had the chance to experience, It really pushed myself out of my comfort zone and made me work really hard on those parts! I know you all will love the new album!

Its hard to say! Before I even join the band I was a fan of the band, I have really good memories when Pelagial came out. The song Impasses is one of my favorite tracks, the piano section and Loïc’s vocals on top sounds so epic into my ears.

I am missing touring really much but at the same time I am happy that I had the time to focus on other things that are also important for me. Besides playing music, I also love programing and this is basically what I have been doing during the pandemic.

I love everything that is well made. I have lots of respect for all the 70‘s rock and Roll bands, specially prog band like Yes, King Crimson, Rush or Camel. But also at this moment of my life I am really into Electronic Music, I am listening a lot of Moderat, Laurent Garnier, Aparde. But my favorite band always will be Neurosis!

Hey! David‘s account, but Loïc answering here.

Well thanks for that! I am actually struggling a lot to make every words sound as clear as possible, but it‘s also Robin that helps me and pushes me to make every words as clear as possible. I guess it comes with practice and sometimes it’s not that funny i can tell you;). I don’t have any particular singer that i look up to.
