1) Hello! You have already recorded your eighth album. And this time modernism is combined with neoclassicism. How did you manage to achieve such a contrasting sound?
Druknroll: You were great! Well, my friend, you went too far about neoclassicism, there is a living god up there – Yngwie Malmsteen and no matter how hard you try, you can’t reach him! I think I’ll have to rap for 200 years to get a little closer to him, but no fact!
2) At the same time, the lyrics are becoming more and more insane. Especially on “Höllenewald” with its rebuke to the hellish metropolis. Before us passes a series of blasphemers, maniacs, melancholics with a clownish joy in their eyes. A devilish carnival or a freak of consciousness?
Druknroll: It’s like the old song, but in a modern way: “Drundolish death metal, there’s no consciousness left, everything’s clouded over in his eyes”… Then granny got stuck in this hellish forest Höllenewald… In short, everything got mixed up in the Oblonskys’ house, people, horses, guitars and drums!… And either clones or clowns are wandering around the city, although what’s the difference… Yes, the flask’s bottom has been broken and you can’t seal it back up, it’s whistling!
3) The refrain is “Don’t watch TV!” In the age of the Internet (even if it’s already a little limited) this looks a little strange.
Druknroll: Yes, the idea here is much broader, before there was one zombie box, and now there’s a zombie iPhone, a zombie tablet or a zombie computer, which is much worse than a TV, so Pandora can even rest a little here!
4) You’ve switched to Dark East Productions. Before that there was Polygon Records. Will the search for a badge continue or is it now just one, but fiery passion?
Druknroll: Well, Polygon Records is a normal company, but it only deals with digital, and there is not much metal there, but Dark East Productions is the best, only heavy metal, digital, discs, distribution, promotion, in short, it is blowing in the right direction! I also wanted to say that we are already in full swing working on a new EP of 3 tracks with an intriguing name – I haven’t come up with one yet!
5) Experiments continue. And one of them is “3.14”, where we see exactly what is on the package. And with noise. What should we expect next?
Druknroll: With the composition 3.14 I also wanted to get a little closer to other living gods – Dream Theater, well, what do you mean, the same 200 years have to be droned and drummed, but, as you already understood, that is also not a fact!
6) “In me you will see God!” If you compare it with the presence of bots around, then a joyless picture of the dominance of artificial intelligence arises. When will the machines assemble their great puzzle? Druknroll: I think they have already assembled it and are waiting for the command hoy! You heard Metallica singing Anna Asti’s song, yes, and suddenly the end of the world has come! Anticipating your next question about the blue guy on the cover of the disc, I will answer right away – I myself do not know where he came from, maybe the bots whispered it! Good luck to everyone and F..CK`N`DRUCK`N`ROCK`N`ROLL!!!
