1) Hello, guys! How did it happen that you decided to pay attention to your inner demons?
Horror: Demons always live inside us and it is not cultural to ignore them.
Denis: I am always in touch with them. It so happened that on this album we decided to demonstrate them to our listeners!
Oleg: Inner demons are in each of us, in some they are sleeping, in others they are roaring at the top of their lungs. If they are awake, then ignoring them is too dangerous. Through our creativity we give them an outlet, exactly as much as is acceptable in society:)
Dmitry: They are in everyone and sooner or later the meeting is always inevitable. And it takes a huge amount of courage to look them in the eye. It can be scary and it can seem like they will swallow you up completely. It all depends on whether you are afraid of them or not.
2) At the same time, “My Dark Desires” has not only frankly hardcore and groove moments, but also extreme melodicism. Playing on contrasts?
Horror: This is such a moment! What we feel, we share!
Denis: The versatility of our inner demons itself dictates such musical techniques. It’s very cool when in a musical composition you can play on contrasts and awaken a different spectrum of emotions in listeners. This is why they love us!
Oleg; Playing on contrasts is our life, constant compromise and movement towards something new. This is how we emphasize the diversity of our perception. After all, a person is just a part of nature, which has sunny days, rain, hurricanes an
d earthquakes.
Dmitry: As Frank Zappa said, “All music has already been invented by dudes in wigs” and we try to adhere to the precepts of the classics. In their tradition, there have always been contrasts. For example, the first part of a sonnata should be fast, the second measured. As well as the conduct of the main and secondary topics. A place where the listener could feel the dynamics and change of accents. It worked for them, why shouldn’t we use it too?
3) “My Mars is Phobos and Deimos. My Mars is neither death nor life. My Mars is neither feeling nor anger.” It seems that the topic of the five stages of accepting depression is being raised again.
Horror: Perhaps this will help someone).
Denis; For those who are familiar with such a phenomenon as depression, this will be a kind of therapy. Even if harsh, sometimes unpleasant, but uncompromising and frank.
Oleg; For me, these concepts partly mean awareness and calm. No depression, only fear of the unknown.
4) “My dark desires make me crazy, My dark desires are not lust.” Is the song about another Chikatilo or is it much deeper?
Horror: Don’t compare this to mental disorders! This is a daily struggle of people in their own thoughts. There is something dark in each of us, and everyone has to live with it!
Denis: Here everyone is free to interpret the meaning of the text at their own discretion. In any case, lust is not the most complex type of dark desires. Lust is primitive. We want to send the listener to the deeper corners of his consciousness, to search for something inexplicable and frightening!
Oleg: Dark desires, just like demons, are in each of us, and sometimes they cannot be controlled. But desires and action are different things, the main thing is not to go beyond the limits, and to remain human in any situation.
Dmitry: Well, dark desires can be not only about murders and various other debaucheries. Dark desires can also be something that is not accepted by society or condemned by it.
5) You have already
recorded the seventh and, apparently, the craziest album. What should we expect next?
Horror: There will be more! And it will be even tougher! Whoever can understand, it will be easier for him to look at the world!
Denis: There is no need to wait, just put on our album again and enjoy the madness! When the time comes for something new, you will hear everything yourself!
Oleg: We continue to make the music that we like, the degree of its “madness” is determined by the listener himself. I would call it our fantasy. But if our music evokes such feelings in someone, then we managed to reach someone!
Dmitry: We will play on contrasts, we will record a collection of our songs in a jazz arrangement!
Druknroll: Yes, I want to sum it up, bros, metal is essentially a huge lump of shit rolling down a mountain at a tremendous speed and whoever got hit by it at least once will roll on it until they go grey!!!
