The Germany experience you can feel in each track. Because we got to go to Germany, we even played in a small festival and it was definitely another world and seeing these medieval Gothic cathedrals. We actually took our photo for the album at a 13th-century Gothic cathedral and it took like, 300 years to build but, at midnight, in Germany. How Metal? /laughs
Bobby with his epic guitar riffing. Then I really had a chance to do something different with this album and really say what I meant to say. So, it was an exciting journey to do all of that and the way it came out, the level of sound and the response we got from it.
Anzzia: Wow... That's a lot! You are giving your fans really, the most. That is amazing!
Meka: /laughs
Anzzia: That is really deep. Taking a look at yourself and making those changes. I like it.
Meka: Well, it is just as much for our subconscious as much as it is for our conscious right? We program ourselves with what we watch and listen to. We might as well be putting something good in there. Something that means something. Something that has substance and that actually makes you feel better after you listen to it. Having a positive effect does not just have to be pretty kumbaya. There is a place for that.
Anzzia: Exactly.
Meka: Kids are listening to Metal and Rock, we all are and the Metal and Rock fans are loyal for life and it is a family. That is why they call it tribes because it is all of us together. It is a subconscious experience when they watch the video. They are going to be like, “Oh, shit.” There is another layer to it. imagine having a balance. Imagine having a look at your shadow self, looking straight into the dark and then even having the light shined right back into the dark. Having some power to face yourself and make your life better. So, this is a multidimensional experience and I hope to improve that even more and we evolve. As we grow is making sure that it does not just reach you on a surface level, this music, this experience. It is really there
to infuse all of the different aspects of our psyche and our human experience. Might as well when you are only here for a set period of time. Pack the most punch you can in each moment, right? So, ours is an opportunity to push those boundaries on both ends. Push the boundaries on the pretty girly music, you know, people expect from you sometimes. Because they can do that but, have beauty and have a philosophy and I mean, spirit. The people that are listening to us are getting like, what is there, men and woman but, definitely it is time to be like, "Hey, woman have a warrior spirit." and it is beautiful and yes, it is different. It's powerful and it is just as powerful as the male counterpart as the warrior spirit. But, I think it would really complete us as the tribe to remember that we all need to be empowered I our truth and our well-being altogether. If we are healthy minded and spiritually healthy and intellectually healthy beings then we can do a lot with this planet and making some really good moves. So, I am excited! /laughs
Anzzia: Interesting, the entire experience sounds amazing and serendipitous in so many ways. Tell me a little bit about what your writing and creative process was like. You can do it while you were still here in the states and during the time you all made the decision to go to Germany, how did all of that come together to create this awesome album that you all had?
