Summon: How did the band get started?
Marcello: We formed the band in 2010 and immediately decided the direction that our music would have taken. We recorded our first EP at the end of that year and released it in February 2011. In the meantime we started to play in some local shows across Italy, then toured Russia and Ukraine in April 2011 supporting Dufresne. As we came back our second EP “In crystalline worlds beyond” was released and then we started to write the first songs for our full length album, which has been released only in September 2013, due to different line up changes, also during the recordings.
Summon: What kind of music do you play?
Marcello: We started playing metal core/death core with some electronic elements; then our style changed becoming more direct and strong, moving on to a sort of experimental death metal.
