| Kertokaa yhtyeenne taustatarina: | We met in a bar in Basel that usually none of us would go. None of us has been there since we met there in 2014. I guess that was fate. Now that we think about it, we could arrange our 10 year anniversary there. For the bar that would be a deep stylistic break.We have diverse backgrounds that we still explore. The downside being, that it is hard to crystallize a clear identity. We are happy with the fact that we still are perceived as psychedelic Doom is just the distorted extension of mellow and slow psychedelics. The upside of a stilistic mix however, and that’s where the passion lies, is that we are able to create musically and harmonically interesting and rather challenging aarangements that still feel digestable and round. |
| Minkälaiset tavoitteet yhtyeellänne on: | We run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking. |
| Minkälainen työnjako musiikin tekemisessä on: | We know each other well and therefore manage to work towards a goal that is in everybody’s interest. As it is in any relationship, tasks need to be explicitly distributed in order to not create resentment. We also try to do fun things from time to time, things that are not related to touring or writing music together. |
| Millainen kokemus bändinne on livenä ja miksi yhtyeenne keikoille kannattaa tulla: | We challenge the audience to listen and sink deeper. |
| Uusimman levynne nimi: | Curatio
|
| Avatkaa uuden levynne/julkaisunne taustoja. Mikä on toiminut sen inspiraationa ja miten tuotos on syntynyt: | Our first album ”I” was a rather fast and bluesy adolescent work of ”Sturm und Drang” (for our standards!). The second album ”Volva” is shy, psychedelic and sometimes long-winded, still authoritative in many places. The third album ”Destrudo” is doomy, destructive and uncompromising. Now, ”Curatio” feels like a matured version of ”Volva” and ”Destrudo”. It has its own unique mix of progressive elements, it can quickly shift shapes, but feels holistic nevertheless. We have to add: the fourth song is an outlaw exploring echolotesk black pop metal.Our texts are metaphorical and symbolical representations of our experiences, limitations and strengths, as given by the human form and mind. They can sting and create turmoil. ”Curatio” is the idea that there are mechanisms that stimulate personal growth in order to overcome or accept andlive with a haunted mind. |
| Minkä bändin kanssa lähtisitte kaikkein mieluiten kiertämään maailmaa: | We believe in hyper Space |
| Jos uudelta levyltä/vanhasta tuotannosta pitäisi suositella kahta biisiä, niin mitkä ne olisivat ja miksi: | Burdens of Sorrows and Resilience of Floating Forms from the upcoming album Curatio |
| Mikä musiikki kolahtaa yhtyeellenne juuri nyt: | Italo Pop, Dino Dungeon Synth and the Soulbreacker Company |
| Muita asioita, joita haluatte kertoa yhtyeestänne: | We are permanently eager to keep the doom express rolling until the deadend |
