Do you have other interests of work outside the band? Yes we all of us have different labor interests, just because in our country is almost impossible to live how a metal musician. All the labels support is focused on the "popular music".

What do you think about people downloading music instead of buying records nowadays? Well, in our case is a very good form to show our work outside of Colombia, and doesn't represent a huge investment for us to be on digital platforms. We think that is the better option for bands like us, that have to pay the records, CD prints, etc from our own pocket. 

How do you think the music industry has changed because of this? W think that's changing the elitism in the industry, because in our country if a band doesn't have at least 20 years old in the business or very good contacts, cannot show his work, or get gigs even in bars

What do you think of my work? We think that is very important, is really helpful for underground bands that exist people that share his work with the world.

How do you think and know that this interview will help you in the music business? The simple fact of show our work to the international headbangers is enough for to get an impulse to our band career and get a chance to enter stronger to the foreign metal business.

Is it easier to find inspiration from older bands, or bands that are more active today? Both equally, but generally we try to compose without having any band like base.

What have been your biggest obstacles? The Colombian metal music industry, because doesn't exist more than 5 labels that support rock music (not metal), and that means that we have to pay for all.

What advice would you give other bands or artists? Just don't give up, the way is hard but it's awesome.

How do you get psyched for a gig? We only think about having fun and giving a good show
