 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music NEWS and Interviews. Our readers are excited to get to know you and your band. Could you give us a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? Parity Boot was founded by our singer/guitarist Thias in 1998. We released several Demos and won the Lower Saxony Part of Wacken Metal Battle 2005.  In 2009 we released our first Album “Into Nothing” and played a tour through Germany with Hantzel and Gretyl as well as several festivals.

STRAMONIUM: 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest. Thanks for taking the time to do the interview. Could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? Stramonium was formed in Milan in 2018. In the beginning, we realized we wanted to go back to 70's doom, proto-metal, and garage, following models like BLACK Sabbath, Pentagram, Mc5, and many others. Within a short time, the sound of the band took a very defined shape. The most noticeable thing is precisely the retro sound that is deliberately Lo-Fi, something that in modern doom happens not so often, this feature has led our band to be appreciated even abroad and to have the honor of playing with Pentagram for their 50th-anniversary tour. 2- Elder Moon is the band's debut full album how long did it take to write? Elder Moon is our first record, initially self-released on vinyl and only later it has been reissued and finally released by Argonata Records. The record came out very naturally af...
