- Hello Kornel, hello dear readers :) Generally speaking, the time it took to create the album was about 4 years, as you know, I joined the line-up earlier this year, so most of the details that contribute to this state of affairs are unfamiliar to me. Not only because I am not interested in what the relationship between the previous line-up was like, but above all, because since the decision to join the ranks of Epitome, I had a lot of things that had to be dealt with. First of all, listen to the material, read the texts written by Omar Zamorano Martinez, Mariusz Zawadzki (Halucynogen, ex-Mysteria), interpret these texts, write the missing texts, prepare for recording (which was not easy, taking into account the lack of the room rehearsals, etc.), besides, I had to start learning old hits in connection with the planned concerts, by the way I took over the "social media" of the band. Adding to these regular rehearsals and working on new material with the SARS team (greetings gentlemen!), it turned out that this time is basically not enough, but I made it!

As for the second part of the question, personally, this material is very good for me, the very fact that the vocal parts are arranged very quickly and intuitively proves that I found myself very well in this material. I think many people interested in the band will be satisfied.

- That's right, we planned to promote the album with two tracks, but due to the fact that the time to the scheduled premiere was quite long, we decided to reveal the third track, by the way, we decided that we would like to have a "less static" image for it :) So for the performance this lyric video is done by Gosia (Angelbeloved, privately my wife). Each of us liked the idea and the performance, for which, of course, I would like to thank Gosia on behalf of the band :) Referring to your feelings regarding the sound, I do not fully agree with you, I believe that there is a balance between the content of death metal and grindcore on this material. After all, grindcore is a much broader concept than death metal, in my opinion, there is more creative freedom in it, thanks to which you can include and interpret many more musical concepts in this music, which in the world of classic death metal can often be perceived as unsatisfactory, maybe spoiling the whole picture of a given material. Just relax and drift away into this world of sounds :) The recording of the instrumentation for this material was made at home, which of course gives the comfort of unlimited time that can be spent on recording. The vocal recording sessions are a bit different matter, because I recorded my parts in Pawel Leniart's studio, Kiszka recorded his parts at Hybrid Studios in Portsmouth, the guest vocals for the song "A Modern Lobotomy (A Perilous Confession)" was made by very much nice man Sebastian "Sirius" Syroczyñski (Gnida, Thy Disease, Sutener) (greetings of course!) in his own home studio. Mixing and mastering was done by our guitarist Misiek.

- The material was registered in the following line-up: Misiek, Kiszka and me. The drums are made by Surowy. As I mentioned in the answer to the previous question, guest vocals were recorded by Sirius.

- At the moment, only the CD format will be available, producing vinyl records in these times is a very breakneck challenge, so there are no vinyls today, but we hope that in the near future the situation will normalize enough to make it possible. Of course, there will be T-shirts that you can buy only at a concert or from a publisher as a bundle with the album.

- Surely there will be no revolution in the band's stage image known for years :) As for the setlist, you will be able to hear the whole range of the band's discography and 7 songs from the new album. I will not reveal the titles :) At this point, we should also mention the musicians who will support us on stage – Martin (Realms of Chaos – guitar) and Dan Jaworski (Toughness/Conveyor – drums).

- The author of the photo used on the cover is Klaudyna Hady (thank you!), and the author of the entire artwork for the album is Pawel Ozon (XXV The Sign). Let me mention that we are very pleased with the results!

- There is quite a lot going on in the Rzeszów stage recently, there are a few young prospective bands, not necessarily from the world of grindcore. Certainly, the most recognizable death metal band should be mentioned – Atropine (as far as I know, they have finished recording another full album), Egzekucja (very promising new project), Halucynogen, Haunted Cenotaph, Excidium, Banisher, Bagno, Into Dark, Pandrador, Khrognar...

...And of course, SARS :)

- As far as I know, these materials are still available for purchase. Re-releases were made due to the interest in old materials, which were not in circulation for a long time. You can hit these materials while they are still there, then it will only be eBay :)

- As long as I have time, I am interested in something :) However, there are more bands from outside the mainstream on my menu. It's not always metal, but it's more a conversation over a beer :)

- At the moment we do not have very precise plans yet, but our organizational manager Kiszka is constantly doing something in many directions, even for the next year. As soon as we can share certain information, we will definitely do it, just follow our profile on the largest social networking site, I do not have to do ads for this site :)

Dear Ukrainian colleagues, we know that you are very tough people, we know that you will cope with today's reality, who if not you? :) Without going into politics, the war itself, I wish you a return to normal existence as soon as possible. And also so that we can soon meet in front of the stage, on stage, at the back of the stage, with a pint of beer or whatever :)

Thank you Kornel for your interest in our activities and for the opportunity to do this interview :)
