Interview - EMERGENCY GATE

English text


Martín: Hello! First of all introduce your band to our readers.

Vladi: We are seven good-looking guys from Munich and Düsseldorf, now on tour with KREATOR, CALIBAN & ELUVEITIE, well what else is there to say, nothing :)

M: Tell us about the birth of your new album “Rewake” and its main concept.

V: We recorded "Rewake" at the dreamscape studios over the last year, it has been a hard birth, our former singer and guitar player Fabian Kießling quit before we started recording, so we had to first look for a replacement, and found with Matthias Kupka and Udo Simon, two excellent guys who are with us right now. "ReWake"'s message is plain simple: All songs are kind of a retrospect to what happened to me and us as a band and friends the past 2 years.

M: Your sound is as powerful as varied. How do you describe your own music?

V: It’s hard to describe in detail what kind of music we play. We have been described as the most Swedish sounding German metal band. A good mix between CHILDREN OF BODOM, SENTENCED and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, few electronic parts, everything straight forward with
great melodies.

M: Talking about the lyrics, what themes inspire the songs?

V: There are a lot of private experiences buried inside, but masked in a perfect way, so everyone can adapt it on their own situations and say, this is the same way they felt in this minute, or on that day, if it was anger, hate, loss, anything you can think of.

M: How were the recording sessions? Are you satisfied with the results?

V: Sure we are :) but as you know, no song is perfect from the beginning, since everyone of us likes different kinds of music, we could recreate all songs that have already existed with a unique touch of everyone in the band.

M: Recently you made a video for the song “Gold & Glass”, how was the experience?

V: We had really, really a loooooooot of fun! the team was really working professional, and it was easier to make than we all thought, but the experience was worth it, we would do it again anytime

M: You are touring Europe with the legendary band KREATOR, how is going the “Chaos Over Europe” tour?

V: It is really no chaos at all :) the KREATOR guys are really cool in person, all the other bands too, this is our 6th tour day now in Bordeaux and we will have fun tonight on stage! We are really anxious about the upcoming days and shows

M: How do you see Metal scene in Europe today?

V: The metal scene in Europe is not dying, many people like to think this. We can see every day the proof, there are so many young people coming to the concerts, and we are very happy to be party of this one metal family, the one we meet every evening, new faces but the same metallic heart.

M: Thank you very much for your time. Here you have space to write what you want as farewell.

V: Anytime and come to the KREATOR shows! There are 3 other great bands besides legendary KREATOR, you won't be disappointed.
