Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?
The lyrics were written by Rivoo ( Tiyanak- Bass and vocals) . The lyrics basically consists of personal philosophies in the form of misanthropy , Horror , death, all consuming emptiness and void.

The logo of the band was a joint venture of Alex (Ah Puch-Drummer) and our good friend, Radi. We are available in Facebook and Instagram. We believe these platforms to be instrumental to spread our music among the audience. We do post all updates regarding our releases and tours in our social media pages.
Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?
For this album we chose Nuclear Winter Records as our label partner. They have been really helpful throughout the release process. We wanted to release an album or two with NWR for quite a long time because we think the roster is super sick and consists of bands that we listen to with similar taste in death metal.
Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?
There are lot of bands that we listen to and admire. Along with the classics, Bands like Incantation, Immolation, Dead Congregation, Death, Spectral Voice, Morbid Angel, Grave, Blood incantation, Inquisition,1349 are some of our major influences and inspirations while making music.
Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?
Yes, we sent our songs to some labels that we like including NWR, NWNPROD, Dark Descent Records and so on. The response was mostly quite positive and appreciative.
How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?
We played quite a lot of gigs, very hard to keep count. Most of the gigs we played were indoor gigs. But we also played in some local outdoor metal festivals. It is hard to pick one best performance. We played our hearts out in each and every one of them. Had a killer time.
What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?
We want to keep on doing what we are doing. Keep making music and doing gigs and having a good time while doing it. We plan to work on the next release and keep on exploring and experimenting keeping the OSDM core intact.
