Mammatus

Bild
American alternative progressive rockers of Mammatus has been on our radar for quite a while and finally we had the chance to do this interview with them. Sit back, relax, and read further on...   First of all, could you tell us why and how you started the band?   Mammatus originated from a collective passion for crafting expansive, immersive music, fueled by a shared vision among us.  Guitarist Nicky (myself) and drummer Aaron, bound by a blood connection as brothers, share a unique bond that traces back to our formative years of growing up and playing music together. This familial tie not only solidified our artistic connection but also infused Mammatus with a shared history and musical language that is deeply ingrained.   Adding to this familial dynamic, bass player Chris entered the picture as a brother from another mother. Chris became an integral part of Mammatus, joining forces with Aaron and I after high school. Our shared experiences forged a camaraderie that transcended mere

Brotherhood from Sweden is a band that has been around since 2007. They have released multiplied albums and singles and we caught them when they were playing as support to "The Mission" in Stockholm in May of 2023. Here´s what they had to say:                                                                                       Photo: Uffe Sandin You started the band back in 2007. Could you tell us about the early days of the band and what goals you had when you first started out? We’ve known each other since forever and had a lot of different bands and musical projects together in those early days. Then Micke moved to Stockholm to work in the music business and Stefan started and joined some other bands. In 2007 we decided that we wanted to do something musically together again. When we wrote and recorded what was to become “Turn The Gold To Chrome” we thought a lot about The Sisters of Mercy album “Floodland”. Which in - our opinion - is a great album with just great songs

A Projection from Sweden will soon turn 10 years old as a band. Last time we talked to them was around five years back and we thought that time has come to check in on things again. The singer Rikard kindly answered our questions, and here´s what he had to say: It´s been five years since we talked the last time. What have you been up to since then? Rikard: Worked, toured, and recorded. Since last time we must have released "Section" and "In a Different Light", right?                                                                      Photo Courtesy: A Projection   In november of 2022 you released your latest record entitled ”In A Different Light”. What can you tell us about the recording process for that album? Rikard: We went back to a way of recording that I personally like: recording the songs one by one, letting them rest, taking them up again and reworking them in different iterations, while still having the overall sound profile and philosophy in mi

One of Sweden´s longest running post-rock bands "EF" will release a new record on November the 4th. We sent over some questions to see how things are going and what we can expect from the new record. Here´s what they have to say...                                                                 Photo: EF First of all, it´s been four years since we talked the last time. How have you survived the period of Covid-19? We’ve all survived - yes! All of us got it of course but no one got really bad which we feel lucky about. I believe all of our close ones also gone through the pandemics without anything worse than a tough cold.But the pandemics was also what made us contact each other again and start figuring out a way to create music again. The boredom that sneaked upon you when you couldn’t party, travel or even meet your old folks was horrible.       In November of 2022 you will release your new album entitled ”We Salute You, You and You!”. We have heard the first preview

Syberia

Bild
Syberia from Barcelona, Catalonia, is a post-rockband with both melodic and heavy parts which stands out in their music. We sent over some questions to see what the band is up to.  Could you tell us a bit about why you started the band and what ambitions you had in the beginning? We had always played in other bands and a few of us who wanted to make instrumental music got together. At that time there weren't as many bands as now and we were fans of Caspian, Mogwai, Isis and similar groups. We wanted to make something of our own and play as many places as possible.   Speaking more about the start of the band, why did you pick the name "Syberia"? We were looking for a name that was one word and had a good sound. One of us loves geography and proposed it. We liked it and it stayed that way.   When you think of the past and now the present, what has changed the most during all these years? Since the start a lot of things have changed.
