- Our good friend from All Things Rotten design, Andrej made the logo and cover art for the debut album „Misanthrope“. Art work for second album was done by Maciej Kamuda.
You can find us on facebook, youtube and bandcamp.
In today’s world, yes. Because most of the people are on social media so you have to be there as well to spread the word about yourself.
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?
- Godz Ov War Productions from Poland released our second album. Why? Because they were the only ones interested in releasing it. Haha!
We are very satisfied with them and I hope that we will continue our cooperation.
Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?
- We idolize mostly death metal bands but there are also black, thrash, hardcore, grind, punk, crust, d-beat bands... Mix of what we listen to is what we make as HerezA.
Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?
- Yes we did. Godz Ov War Productions signed us and released the album.
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?
- Since we are two man band, we didn’t play any gigs yet but we hope that in a near future we wll find some musicians to play with.
What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?
- First, to stay active as long as possible and to top our previous releases. Then, to find other musicians to play with and play live shows as much as possible.
Nothing much. Just to enjoy making and playing music, traveling, meeting new people, visiting new places and having fun most of the time. No big goals for me personally.
