Alex – I try to channel emotions honestly, and intensity here is our default state, the way we experience life. I love art on the edge of collapse, and in vocals I pursue the same thing, attack, delivery, pure raw mental energy. At the same time, I always maintain control to keep exploring and pushing that edge further. But sometimes the source still breaks through the form, creating these intense, sometimes ugly, but honest expressions.
RA – You kicked off 2026 in the Wacken Metal Battle Canada. What was that experience like, and how does a high-stakes competition change your approach to a live set?
Remi – The night was really fun and the turn out was great, but I’m not particularly a fan of mixing music and competitions. Win or lose there’s an extra dirty layer to these things that just doesn’t sit well with me. High stakes doesn’t change anything for me, I play every show like it’s the last day of my life.
