Praise The Sun exclusive interview and New Music

1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest. 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?


We are a metal band formed in 2019 in Warsaw, Poland.


2- "Alterego" is the band's upcoming single. How long did it take to compose and record it?

"Alterego" was a project that took some time to come together. First riffs were recorded 2 years ago then it went through several phases of composition and refinement before we hit the recording studio. The recording process itself was spread over a few months to ensure we achieved the sound and quality we wanted for this track

3- What musical influences inspire the band's compositions?

Our music draws inspiration from a wide range of musical influences within the metal genre. Bands like for example Lamb of God or In Flames have been inspirations for us to some level. We also incorporate elements from other musical styles and experiences from our own lives to create a unique sound.

4- Can you tell us how did the members all meet?

That’s a long story actually. The whole band (which was a cover band as the beginning) was started by Daniel, our rhythm guitarist and Wojtas, previous drummer, then Mateusz joined with an idea of creating our own music, songs. After some time Konrad (bass) joined a team, and not long after him, Marcelina (vocal). Last year Wojtas decided to finish cooperation with us, so Egor (drums) joined the band. We shared a passion for metal music and decided to form Praise the Sun.

5- The new song title is "Alterego". Tell us the details about the content and a more in-depth meaning to this title?

"Alterego" is a song that delves into the concept of inner duality. It explores the idea that we have different sides to our personalities. The title "Alterego" signifies inner alter ego or the hidden facets of our identities.


6- Are the current members of this band part of another band or project? Or is everyone dedicated solely to the group? How do you maintain a good balance working together?

Currently, only Egor (drummer) is a member of another band - LeFort, rest of the members are fully dedicated to Praise the Sun, so it's relatively easy to keep the balance

7- Have you performed any shows in your area? If so, how receptive and supportive are the people of your music?

Yes, we are performing in Poland regulary, we recently finished the tour promoting our first full album - The Proffer of Light. Each show is different, of course, but the metal community has been incredibly supportive

8- Are there any upcoming shows or tours you can tell us about?

The next concert will be played on 20.10 in Elblag in the club Mjazzga on the occasion of as a part of the Darklander tour of the band - The Materia.

9- Thanks for your participation. Finally, what is the best way to get a hold of the group just incase someone wants to book or promote the band?

Any final words?

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, 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? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
