Interview Though Email
On the band's Facebook page you describe the band's genre as "Death Epic Folk Metal" What is that?
"It is a mere description, a label like any other, so that the public can get a previous idea of how it may sound and if the music is near their musical tastes.
There are growls, so many people put it into the sack of Death Metal. There are epic lyrics, about fantasy, battles, glory... some people call these kind of songs 'epic metal'. And there are influences from traditional and folk music. Anyway, you may or may not agree with that labels, the only important is that you like the music when you listen it."
