Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with? 

Mictian: I wrote all the lyrics on the album; The lyrics speak of humanity's corruption, its follies, the greed of politicians and also religious the ambition of the church for its eternal power; They are social criticisms also things we live in our day to day real facts of the world today.


Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important? 

Mictian: The band's logo, I created it when I founded AFFRONT; The cover of the album was made by Marcelo Vasco same artist who made arts for DarkFuneral, Soulfly, Testament, Machine Head, Slayer ...

Yes Social Networks are something very important nowadays everyone who likes Heavy Metal use social networks is a way to approach everyone and a way of promoting music.


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?

Mictian: I met Polymorphe records through Social Networks. I sent the songs for audition they liked and they gave me a good release proposal for this album. We want to be great. We are working for this and we need more support. Polymorphe is helping us. and we hope they can do more with us, do big things.

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

Mictian: I hear a lot of bands, I really like listening to several bands of different styles.

Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal, Hardcore tec ...

But my influences are "old" Sepultura, Motorhead, Sodom are the bands that really influenced me.

Bands that I respect and always hear.

Lemmy, Angelripper and Max Cavalera are like gods to me.


Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

Mictian: I did not send to many Labels, nowadays it is no use sending many of these labels or listen to the music they send them.

You need to be close to the Labels to get some chance, big Labels are hard to access.

I'm glad to have Polymorphe records with us.

I hope we will have a Big Label in the next few years.
