What's your style of genre? We do not attach ourselves to a style, our music travels between several kinds of metal, grindcore, punk ...
What inspires you? our inspiration comes from several bands of extreme music, and also the environment that we live in Brazil, with social disparities
Who does the composing and writes the lyrics? Usually I create the songs and we share Bruno and Bruno the lyrics, but it's a collective, where each member has the freedom to present ideas
Do you start with the music or the lyrics? both
What language do you sing in? Portuguese
Do you always play the same songs live, or do you vary? Currently we play the same songs, which, in fact, are all copyrighted songs we have
Do you have a regular place you play live often? Yes, the underground scene where we live has many events, whether in the city of Diadema or neighboring cities. We play a lot in this region
Where have you played live this year? As we are going to launch our first full album this semester, we intend to play in several places for divulgation, besides Brazil, in other countries like yours
What do you think about people downloading music instead of buying records now a days? downloading on digital platforms like spotify, deezer, etc, I think it's valid. We have to adapt the technology, and for us the interesting thing is to spread our music, of course we have costs, but we can guarantee ourselves financially with the band's products and shows.
What do you think of my work? I find your work very good, even more looking for bands from other countries like Brazil. This helps and a lot in spreading. Congratulations.
How do you think and know that this interview will help you in the music business? It helps in publicizing both public and show producers.
Is it easier to find inspiration from older bands, or bands that are more active today? The old bands will always be inspiration, but there is a lot of new band that shows great quality and creativity, so in both have a good inspiration.
What have been your biggest obstacles? The biggest obstacle is always financial, hard to have money to record, release, and all other costs that the band has.
Do you have any new material? In 2018 we released the EP "Fúria Manifesta", and this year we released two singles that will be present in our album that will be released later this semester.
