Interview:
WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION TO WRITE YOUR MUSIC? IS IT YOUR SURROUNDINGS?
Our source of inspiration comes from the frustration we feel toward this corrupt society manipulated by those in power. Through our music, we try to spread truth and social awareness, because we believe that music speaks a universal language capable of bringing people together and inspiring cultural change.
Finding inspiration is not always easy, but we believe it is worth fighting for authentic music and genuine artistic expression. Composing music, exchanging ideas, and discussing real issues keep us alive, engaged, and open to sharing critical and sincere thoughts.
We feel that the social reality we live in is surrounded by a political system that often benefits from ignorance and manipulation. For this reason, we see cultural and artistic exchange as a civic duty, a way to challenge the capitalistic propaganda that we are increasingly forced to endure in many modern democracies.
The environments we seek are, naturally, artistic ones. We try to involve musicians who, like us, live in the shadows and share the same sense of dissatisfaction. We believe in this mission of cultural activism and unity because today’s World is often dominated by individualism and selfishness.
Stay united and stay rock!
We also reject every form of artificial and meaningless music because we believe that true music must come from genuine human expression, passion, and consciousness.
WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DID YOU LISTEN TO GROWING UP?
We love music! To grow artistically, we try to listen to as many different genres as possible. We enjoy exploring a wide variety of musical styles and searching for inspiration that can help us create something unique and different.
There isn’t one specific type of music that we constantly listen to. We believe that every genre has something valuable to offer and can contribute to our artistic development in its own way.
That being said, our natural preference leans toward rock and metal music. Those genres have always been at the core of our musical identity and continue to be our main source of energy, passion, and inspiration.
IS THERE SOMEONE YOU LOOKED UP TO AS A HERO?
Without a doubt, our heroes are the great bands of the 1970s, including Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rush, and Pink Floyd. For that, we have to thank our parents, who introduced us to this incredible music and helped shape our musical taste from an early age.
When it comes to the metal scene, we can’t overlook legendary bands such as Pantera, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Testament, Slipknot, Korn, and many others. These artists have had a huge influence on our musical journey and continue to inspire us through their creativity, energy, and dedication to their craft.
Their music has helped define who we are as musicians and reminds us why we fell in love with rock and metal in the first place.
IF YOU WEREN’T A MUSICIAN, WHAT WOULD BE DOING TODAY?
We honestly can’t imagine our lives without music. It is such an essential part of who we are that thinking about a life without it feels impossible.
We will continue making music for as long as we have the strength, passion, and energy to do so. Music is more than a hobby or a profession for us—it’s a way of life, a form of expression, and a driving force that keeps us moving forward.
As long as we have something to say and the determination to share it, we will keep creating and playing music.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OUR FANS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO CREATE MUSIC?
First of all, we would like to thank our fans and encourage them to keep supporting us and pushing us beyond our limits. Their support gives us the motivation to continue growing and improving as musicians.
For those who want to pursue music, our advice is simple: never give up when you encounter the first issues in building your own artistic journey. Internal conflicts, setbacks, and moments of doubt are common, and they can sometimes seem strong enough to destroy your dreams. However, these challenges can also become sources of strength and opportunities for growth if you learn how to face them together.
Unity within a band and accepting each member’s strengths and weaknesses can become a turning point and a source of pride in the vast and often difficult world of the music business.
We also believe that constant experimentation, continuous study, and the sharing of new ideas are essential to avoid creative stagnation and keep evolving as artists.
Most importantly, have fun and truly love what you do! Even when you don’t achieve the results you hoped for, passion and enjoyment are what will keep you moving forward and make the journey worthwhile.
Buy guys! Thank you and keep pushing! Hole in the Frame will lead you!
