Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
We are four guys from Poland, playing slow heavy metal music.
How would you describe your style and genre?
Doom metal is I think the most accurate way to describe the genre we're in. If you're in search of a revolutionary approach to the craft – you're in the wrong place. It's basicaly four dudes playing the shit out of their two guitars, bass and drums with two vocals. Mostly melodic, but there are some singing parts that are more harsh.
Who are your biggest influences and idols … and why? Do you have any idols? Are you a super fan of anyone? (Dead or alive, musician or non-musician)
There was that almost unknown polish band, they recorded only one 7" in the end of the 60's. They were called Sir Snake, which was quite strange for that time, because in communist Poland such things weren't welcomed warmly by the authorities. Anyhow, if you get a chance to listen to them – don's waste your opportunity to meet with one of the first proto-doom bands. And they were Polish, holy shit, man.
What´s new right now? What should our readers know about that is coming up from you?
We joined the Doomstar Bookings roster lately. That means 2018 will be very busy for us, we will visit whole bunch of new towns and countries. Look out for a gig in your neighbourhood!

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Making mistakes is a natural part of our lives. Everybody makes mistakes. You learn from them. Persistance is the key.

How do you get gigs? Can you share any tips?
Up to this time we were on our own finding new gigs. We started with playing shows in our hometown. One of us at that time did some booking of stoner bands and that was a great opportunity for us to show ourselves out there. After we recorded our first album we would get some gig requests. We tried to be up to date on who's coming into town to try and squeeze in as a support band. If you want to play gigs and you're on your own – you have to try every possible way. And that's it. Lately we joined the Doomstar Bookings roster, a booking agency from the Netherlands. From that point they are taking care of booking shows. And they are great in this.
