- Our style is very frontal, direct, wild, with catchy melodies which allow each title to be well separated and to avoid linearity in listening. To do this, we avoid music based solely on speed or brutality, and on the contrary we include numerous breaks in rhythm. The guitars are very present, and are not there to make a succession of riffs, but on the contrary to serve the pieces and make very distinct and varied tracks. In my opinion, this is our most aggressive album to date.

- The recording and mixing were carried out by Sebastien Camhi, who runs the ArtMusic Studio, the latter located in the South of France. He had already done the same for our two previous albums, and as we were satisfied with the result, we returned to his place. The mastering was done in Germany by another studio which worked for Aborted, Crematory, Powerwolf...

On this album I recorded all the guitars, bass and vocals and our drummer, Hellesylt, recorded his instrument, of course. We had 2 guests, one who sent us 3 keyboard files that we needed and another one who came on site to do very guttural vocal backings on 2 tracks. These additions once again make it possible to have tracks that stand out from the others.

- The lyrics mainly talk about death, possession, war and the dark and occult side, in general. We nevertheless spend time looking at our texts because we also want to bring quality to this part of our work. We often use less commonly used terms, and we try to match our words to the music by writing only what we need. The music is therefore always written first. Inspiration can come from a cinematographic work, or from our readings, but we also combine our texts with personal elements and reflections.

The album artwork was designed by Alex Shadrin of Nether Temple Design, who worked with us on the previous album. There too, we repeated the experience with this person, because we had a good understanding and we had appreciated what he had provided us previously. He based himself on elements that had been provided to him and enriched the result with his own vision.

- No, for the moment there are only one-off dates planned, including fests among others in Switzerland, Italy and Germany in 2025. The public will therefore be able to see our current live line-up which since summer 2023 includes A. on guitar and Nia Vile on bass. We have already performed with these new members in Romania, Canada, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden, etc. and we have received great feedback following our stage performances. Since then, we have established a new set list, which will eventually evolve over time, and which includes titles from different periods. And we see that the titles of the new album fit perfectly with the old ones.

- Our concerts are very energetic and there is very little down time. Since "our return" live in 2019, we play as a quartet with 2 guitars, 1 bass and drums. Indeed, by choice, we don't have any keyboards on stage, like we did in the 90s. The selected songs do not lend themselves to this. We actually use blood during our performances, but no pyrotechnics. There are sometimes elements of stage decoration, but this is quite rare, because this is not always possible when traveling by plane abroad. Our set list can vary depending on the playing time at the fests, but we generally headline 13 titles. Our last date saw us play 3 tracks from the first and last album, 2 tracks from the 3rd, 5th and 6th album, 1 from the second. We have a good balance between the different rhythms played, which helps to maintain interest for the spectator because they do not always listen to the same speed of execution.

- Yes, Antibes is a city by the sea, located in the South of France, next to the better-known city of Nice, and one hour from the principality of Monaco and the Italian border. Agressor, one of the oldest thrash groups in our country, originated from the same city before moving to the North of the country. There is no local black metal scene, just a few more or less affiliated groups like Assacrentis or Darkenhöld. Less than two hours from here, in the city of Toulon, you could see for example Seigneur Voland, Funeral, Blessed in Sin, etc. To play live, we have a venue in Nice, where we performed the day after the release of the album. Taake, Shining, Necrodeath, Mystifier, Impiety, Absu performed there a few years ago. If not, you have to go to the neighboring department, where a more modest venue, but well equipped with proper gear, has also welcomed us in the past and organizes concerts, often metal in the broad sense, every week. But what is most successful in terms of attendance in our area are the tribute bands, and we have Cradle of Filth, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, etc. We also have an old metal record store in Nice which saw members of Iron Maiden and Metallica pass by in the 80s before they performed the same evening. Our sector is not focused on extreme metal. However, we played there with Sadist in 1992, and Samael in 1993, in Nice. I also organized a date for Opera IX in 1996 a few kilometers away.

- It turns out that for the 2nd album we had, as for the 1st, 11 tracks to include on it. Since then, it has become the rule, there are always 11 tracks on each of our albums. There is no particular meaning, it is more like a sort of trademark per say. Die-hard fans will have noticed that the first print of our 4th album contained a ghost track, therefore one more track, listenable after a few moments of silence after the 11th track. The reissue released a few years ago, deliberately did not include this bonus track.

- Indeed, in the 90s Osmose Productions distributed our creations, and has done so since the 1992 demo. By signing with them, we joined their stable, with a contract established for each new release. There were 3 new albums, but also in 2019, the re-release of our demo on CD, and the first 2 albums on CD and vinyl. For "For Those..." formats include CD version, blue vinyl, black vinyl and a cassette version. There is also a t-shirt made. In themselves, these are the usual formats. Some groups also benefit from the digipak CD format or a hoodie, which is not currently the case for us. We are treated well by this label and our common language facilitates dialogue. Their graphic designer is competent and very responsive, and we have artistic freedom in what we release and submit. This may seem curious, but in so many years, I have only physically met the owner and this famous graphic designer once, in 2021, during one of our concerts in your capital where they had traveled to. Osmose Productions is based in the North of the country, the complete opposite of where we live.

- There is none in my opinion, the only difference would be that nowadays, with internet, I receive messages from admirers from many more countries. Before then, I knew that our records were being sold in South America, Asia or Scandinavia for example, but, it was rare that I received letters by mail to tell me that we were appreciated over there. It was more zines from these corners of the world that wrote me. The ease of contacting groups, sending photos of their collection and the free nature of the thing allows another exchange from now on. During a concert in 2021, in a city in France where we had never performed before, a fan came to have me sign almost everything that had been released by the band. Except for one or two things, this guy had everything. It was impressive because we are talking about each album available on CD, cassette, the 2 colors of the vinyls, the period versions, the reprints, the demo, the EP, etc. In conclusion, I would also say that I noticed a great respect for the group, what it represents for many people, but also a real pleasure in the eyes of some who had not been able to see us live in the 90s, and who now finally meet us on our various dates. There is a whole generation that has remained loyal to the band over the years.

- We discussed quite a few topics through which, your readers will discover us or, on the contrary, learn more about us. We have dissected this new album with your questions, but being a matter of taste, it is now up to them to listen to it to judge its potential. For our part, we are very proud of the result which honors our discography and we invite them to form their own opinion.
