Интервью подготовил OccultBlackMetal (Dark Underground Music Zine)

 

1) For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?
The band was founded in 2011. Few years were spent for searching style of music in which we would like to play. Finally as result of our searching, has become our album “Anywhere Is Everywhere” which was released at begining of 2014. Previously we have issued EP “The Road To Eternity” and single “Change Your Fate”, but they can’t be compared to our full-length album.

2) Recently you have released a new album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording?
We have put all the best which we could during the process of recording our full-length album “Anywhere Is Everywhere”. Heavy and melodic riffs, melodic vocal, which no one can repeat, strong bass which has similar sounding with Korn and Madvayne, inexpressible , strong , difficult and beautiful parties of solo guitar’s. Moreover, acoustic guitars, fortepiano and cello, are presented in the bonus-track “My Motherland”, where we have shown, that we can use not only electro instruments, but also classical as well.

3) On the album you had mostly melodic vocals, are you planning on using aggressive vocals in the future or do you prefer to keep the vocals melodic?
By now we are working on the new album, we leave the possibility presence of extreme vocal, but anyway we’ll still keep melodic vocal in a priority.

4) What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
Texts in the album mainly based on relations between man and woman. Love and all the consequences of it, as well as pleasures and disappointments. The new full-length album will be different from first.

5) What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name ‘Thanks For Your Pain’?
For everyone this phrase has personal meaning , every may find unique understanding for itself. Pain, which was inflicted by someone, can change all your life, in our case for sure, only for better.

6) What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?
Each our performance on the stage is the best. We don’t split them by the quality. From every our concert we obtain a huge volume of satisfaction and this gratification is increasing every time.

7) Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?
We are planning to visit a huge amount of festivals in coming 2015. We have applied for a lot of concerts throughout Ukraine and we’re waiting for response from organizers. At the moment we have agreed for few concerts in Kiev.

8) On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of melodic, extreme metal and metalcore?
Every day appear new feedbacks. As the saying goes: Every Jack has his Jill. Mostly of feedbacks are positive, listeners enjoy the music what we make.

9) Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
We’ve almost accumulated all material for 2nd full-length album. Unfortunately I can’t divulge any information concerning our new album according to our contract with label. But nevertheless few word I will say, our new album will become more heavy and interesting then “Anywhere Is Everywhere”, we are not left without attention lovers of ballads, probably 2 ballads will be included to the album. Guitar riffs will become more interesting and difficult. We’ll do all the best in order to gladden our listeners.

10) What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
Each member of the band has his own taste of music. The album which was released at the end of 2013 had succumbed of direct impact following bands: Korn, Metallica, In Flames, The Agonist, Mudvayne, Godsmack и Disturbed.

11) What are some of your non musical interests?
Mainly we’re trying to devote all our free time for the music. Repetitions and creating new songs. So, if say honestly, our main hobby is music.

Terroraiser 60/2014

Количество появляющихся новых групп в совершенно различных категориях металла позволяет предположить, что метал-сцену списывать со счетов еще рано. Ведь если звезды зажигаются – значит это кому-нибудь надо, не так ли? Украинская команда THANX FOR YOUR PAIN будет в первую очередь интересна любителям современного металла, хотя и поклонникам олдскула не будет лишним ознакомиться с ее творчеством. Пока же представим этот коллектив на страницах Terroraiser…

В пресс-релизе ваша музыка рекомендуется фанатам: Korn, Metallica, In Flames, The Agonist, Mudvayne, GodsmacK и Disturbed. Такая смесь требует пояснений для людей, все-таки вышеперечисленные команды достаточно сильно различаются друг от друга. Итак, попробуйте описать свою музыку людям, доселе с ней не сталкивавшимися.
Как мы и говорили – наша музыка сочетает в себе стили всех вышеперечисленных команд. На словах объяснять – это так же, как передать на словах вкус какой-то очень вкусной еды. Лучше попробовать, а в данном случае – послушать самому, купив наш альбом на iTunes.

Что привело вас к созданию именно такой музыки? Что повлияло, где черпали идеи и вдохновение?
Мы пробовали себя в разных стилях, меняли вокалистов и музыкантов, пробовали что-то новое. Музыка, которая получилась, это плод работы всего состава, собранного сейчас. Каждый внёс что то свое, выразил себя в альбоме. Получилось, по нашему мнению, довольно интересно.

Насколько мне известно, поначалу группа играла более менее традиционный metalcore. Почему вы не стали останавливаться на этом стиле – творческие амбиции или желание вырваться из уже переполненной ниши? Не каждый любит эту “переполненную ниши”.?
Менялись люди, мы искали идеальный состав для нас, с этим и менялась музыка; да и сам metalcore – для определенного слушателя, а мы хотели, что бы наша музыка была более однообразна.

Дебютный альбом “Anywhere Is Everywhere” выходит пока в цифровой версии. Не верите в то, что ваши диски будут продаваться, или же имеются какие-то другие причины?
Причины очень простые – по нашему мнению, цифровой формат сейчас гараздо актуальнее, диски, понемногу, отходят на задний план и, в довольно скором времени, их будет ждать такая же участь, как и виниловые пластинки. Верим ли мы в продажи? Это непредсказуемая вещь – кому-то понравится, кому-то нет, но цифровой альбом стоит примерно столько же, сколько стоил бы диск. И, напоследок, к ответу на этот вопрос – CD “Anywhere Is Everywhere” выйдет в скором времени небольшим тиражом.

Вы уже экспериментировали со звучанием классических инструментов. Это одноразовая акция, или в будущем можно ждать от вас чего- то подобного?
Насколько, на ваш взгляд, уместно внедрение классических или народных инструментов в экстремальную музыку?
Не знаю, как на счет народных инструментов, хотя, в нашем ЕР
используется бразильский народный инструмент, но с классическими инструментами мы еще будем работать. Есть выходы на
профессиональных музыкантов, которые с удовольствием нам в этом помогут. Только эти эксперименты будут ещё не в следующем альбоме.

В вашем “багаже” уже имеется несколько видео-клипов. Вы их делали для того, чтобы представить свою группу, или же они играют какую-то более самостоятельную роль?
Все клипы крутятся на ТВ, сейчас мы планируем снять еще один клип. Все это делается для поддержки альбома.

Я уверен, что концерты для вас имеют особое значение. Где уже успели отыграть и какие концертные планы у вас имеются на ближайшее время?
Концерты очень важны для нас, мы потратили много сил на музыку и хотим донести её до слушателя. Год начали с презентации альбома в новом составе, также планируем посетить крупные фестивали, как Киева, так и Украины.
