1 – Fall Of Serenity (origin and meaning of the band’s name, short bio with highlights, discography, etc):
Eddy (guitar): Basically the name means what we see every day. Dead people. For example in school, at work. People who just live for a system they maybe never voted for. Just like machines. They try to work like machines till they get replaced by real ones. Thats something everybody should think about, cause life is to short to waste time.
We´re existing since 98, released 4 full length cd´s (GREY MAN´S REQUIEM, ROYAL KILLING, BLOODRED SALVATION, THE CROSSFIRE), a split with HEAVEN SHALL BURN and an EP called SMOLDERING DOOM which was actually our first release. We toured in almost every european country with bands like DISMEMBER, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, BY NIGHT, HATE ETERNAL, ANATA and so on.
2 – “The Crossfire” (writing & recording process):
Eddy: This went really fast this time. We wrote the songs for the album in less than half a year. Our hearts decided what is cool and sounds great for the songs and the album. So we tried to think not to much about our music....so we basically just played it haha. And have to say that this was great for the album, cause it sounds like FALL OF SERENITY. And thats how it should be for a band.
We recorded 12 days/ 12-14 hours a day. So that was hard but also very fun and worth it.
3 – Ralf Müller / Rape Of Harmonies Studio:
Eddy: Our producer. Very cool and talented with an incredible good ear and good skills concerning motivation. We recorded the first time just with him as a producer. He was the 6th member for almost 1 year, checking out the songs in the writing process till everything was recorded. Many thanx to him. He was very important for the new album.
4 – Dan Swanö / Unisound:
Eddy: We are very proud that he mixed and mastered our album. We´re all a big fan of EDGE OF SANITY and his work as a producer. And he did a great job. He gave us exactly the sound we wanted. No overproduced shit but with lots of power and real metal-balls...hehe. By the way, he told us that it´s the best mix he ever did so far. So give it an ear!
5 – Sabina Classen (Holy Moses / Temple Of The Absurd):
John: Yeah – German metal icon with a real great voice. She joined us to put some guestvocals on the new record. It worked pretty well. Hopefully we’ll perform live together in future.
6 – Album frontcover / artwork (who, why, meaning, …):
Eddy: Just a fucking tank. Not more, not less. There is no specific meaning, but it reflects how the album sounds. The artwork was done by a company called DARKMOUTH. We like this piece of art very much.
7 – Lyrics (influences, themes, messages):
John: The lyrics are written in a multi-understandable way. Most of lyrics deal with war against inner conflicts. We put the meaning into dark words and and provocative phrases. Everyone should be able to identify himself/herself with one or two songs.
8 – Musical and other kind of influences:
Eddy: Actually to much to mention. Sorry...but of course SLAYER...haha!!!
John: SLAYER !!!!
9 – Lifeforce Records:
Eddy: Our label. Stefan and his team doing a great job for us. We are really happy with how all works out. We have and had allways lots of support from LIFEFORCE RECORDS. Thats really important for a band and we have to thank very much.
10 – Tour to promote the record:
John:. Doing much interviews as possible haha...and of course we’ll continue to play live as often as we can. In 2008 we will hit the road with Dismember again to support their European tour. After the tour we’ll try to play as much festivals as possible. I guess the best way to promote a record is on stage...that’s what we’ll do...
11 – Final Message:
John: Don’t hesitate to check our new album “The Crossfire” – visit us at myspace and get in touch...we love to talk! THANX FOR THE INTERVIEW !!!
