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?

We were in the middle of our musical studies when we started working on the first songs of Hypnagone. 2- "Qu'il Passe" is the band's debut album, how long did it take to write?

So, at the end of the day, let’s say 4 years. 3- What musical influence inspires the bands compositions? I think, on top of classical stuff like Metallica, Periphery, Gojira, Fear Factory, Tool etc., the particul...
