ROCKNATION ISSUE 21
ROCKNATION: Please name of influences of other bands that help
create your music.
Scream Maker: Hard task because it’s difficult to tell exactly what
part of music you listen to have an impact on what you compose.
So in result you can hear various inspirations in only one song.
What’s more, everyone hears different thing. So our guitarist can
say that because he loves Judas Priest he is influenced by them.
Ok. Maybe true. But the fans could say: Hey! This riff sounds like
Iron Maiden! So maybe it’s better to ask what music we listen to,
because probably even Bjork could have some impact on our
music. Really, I love some Bjork’s albums. Michał Wrona, our lead
guitarist and main composer, loves Judas Priest and Iron Maiden
but he also loves Abba or – don’t laugh - good German pop. What
we discovered is that in modern heavy/power metal the songs
have melodies that could be used with a good result in pop productions.
ROCKNATION: Any funny stories or encounters you had before or
after performing at shows you can tell us about?
Scream Maker: There were so many funny stories that it’s so hard
to pick only one... So once we were playing in Latvia in a city
called Yelgava and after the show we spent a night in something
that was kind of a dorm for high school students. Very funny
places, there were no closets in rooms for your personal stuff, just
shelves covered by thin curtains. One of our guys, can’t reveal
which one, got drunk
so heavily he started to
run through the corridor half naked, actually
he had only his orange
panties on, with... cabbage and sausage in
hand. That was one hell
of a picture!
ROCKNATION: What is
some of the music you
listen to now?
Scream Maker: Actually
I fell in love with Winger
once again. Their album
“Karma” from 2008 is
just excellent. From
new bands... I can’t really tell, they all sound
so modern and digital
to me. I like listen to
some piano music.
In Poland there’s a
genius pianist Leszek
Możdżer, I strongly
recommend his music.
ROCKNATION: What
plans do you have for
2013?
Scream Maker: There
are many plans but
which one will become
reality? We want widely
promote “Livin’ in the Past”, organize some European Tour and
go to play some shows in China, we already found promotor
there. Live shows are what we love and the more of, the better.
We would like to perform on Polish Woodstock Festival. It is the
biggest fest in Europe, like 500000 people in one place.
ROCKNATION: Thank you for taking time for this interview and
last words to
the fans?
Scream
Maker:
Thank you,
too! Me and
the whole
band would
like to see
the heavy
metal comes
back to life
in a global
scale. Hope
you, fans,
will help with
that! Cheers!
For fans of
Dio Judas Priest
and Iron Maiden.
