\nINTERVIEW SEGMENT<\/h3>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> We are Rage Unfold \u2013 a virtual heavy metal band spanning 3 countries \u2013 Bulgaria, Germany and Australia! We formed the band in 2022 and our latest single, \u201cOmen\u201d, was released in February this year!<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> We formed the band by accident. The founders of the band \u2013 Bozhidar Popov \u2013 guitars, music and production and Marie-Louise Anastas \u2013 lyrics met by accident on a music platform where they exchanged ideas for songs. In 2022, we released our first song called \u201cChains\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Yes, from the moment we started with music creation, for me (Bozhidar) personally, this has become my destiny and my goal in life.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Currently, we are in the process of composing a new song. It is going to be a bit more different than our previous release. We will then promote it worldwide.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> This is the song that we are currently working on. It is called \u201cDislocated\u201d. It will be a mixture of metal and rock.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Our latest song differs from the rest in terms of style and composition. The tempo is faster; it is also a mix of progressive metal and heavy metal. There are different time signatures that determine the rhythm of the song, which makes it more interesting to the listener.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Marie-Louise sends me a bunch of lyrics to choose from. Then, I pick the most suitable one and start working on the composition of the song. When I\u2019m done with the musical part, I compose the vocal melody, and then I send everything to our vocalist \u2013 Siegfried Sch\u00fc\u00dfler, who is located in Germany, to record the vocals. After that, I mix and master the song.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> I have a very structured approach towards each song. This helps me in the creative process and I also manage to fully polish every aspect of the track down to the last detail.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> The need for inspiration, but usually that happens quite often and fast.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Bands like Dio, Metallica, Manowar, AC\/DC and many more.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> We are a progressive metal band. Our style embraces the typical heavy metal sound with added modern metal elements.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> We try to be different than other metal bands, but as stated above, we\u2019re more into the progressive metal style.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> To compose all the songs from a distance \u2013 that\u2019s not an easy job, but we did fantastic!<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> It might sound like a clich\u00e9, but you should never ever stop and never give up. You never know what might happen tomorrow, so keep it going and maybe one day we might be lucky and succeed.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> A true connection. The lyrics of our music are deep and emotional, also quite intelligent, so we try to connect with our audience through our music in an authentic way and help them overcome the obstacles in life.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> It means the world to us, as you see that your music has attracted the attention of others, which means that you are on the right path.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> With today\u2019s technology, the music industry develops quite fast, and it allows you to promote your songs in a faster, more efficient way. If you want to succeed \u2013 you have to remain positive despite all the challenges, so in conclusion I would say that the industry is going in the right direction.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Many think that we are actually a real band with 4 or 5 members, but the truth is that we have never met each other and, for now, we\u2019re working from a distance, which is remarkable.<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Follow your instinct and never give up on your dreams. One day it will happen!<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Our next song is \u201cDislocated\u201d. Stay tuned, we will release it by the end of this year!<\/p>\n
\nRage Unfold:<\/strong> Thanks for reading this interview. I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed it and if so, please subscribe to our channels for more interesting content!<\/p>\n
