Marianna Full Movie Kickass Torrent
Eden Alvardo
Mariana put up an ad that just resonated with Megan and I so much it prompted us both to respond. I knew I wanted to be in a kickass band and how Mariana described it just seemed perfect. Our visions seemed to align within that description. Her original ad was only for bass and drum instrumentation only though, but I managed to worm my way in!
We had kicked around band names, but once we realized High Priestess was available we went for it. We all have an interest in the occult and the archetype of the High Priestess is one that we particularly admire, and thought the name really embodied the sound we were going for.
Thank you so much! Again, it was really an attempt to capture us in the practice space for the most part, but I did have a bigger vision with more keyboards and elaborate harmonies in mind. It was surprising to me how different we sounded when I listened back the first few times to the basic tracks, how we had evolved, and I can attribute some of this to simply spending more time as a band and playing the songs a lot on tour. Also, my main guitar this time was a Gibson SG instead of a Fender strat. I tripled guitars at places instead of just doubling them. The SG has a darker sound. Plus I think the keyboards add an extra dimension.
It was really positive and encouraging! We are very satisfied with the reviews and the feedback we get from the fans as well as the opportunities that have come our way due to this album. We are really thankful for all the support and the fact that people take the time to dive into the songs and lyrics and to listen to our message.
The first two things are time and money. You need time to write good music and to be a good player and performer. And then you need a lot of money to record that music and to be able to go on a tour. Of course we have sacrificed a lot of things that could help us be more independent and self-sufficient in life since all our money goes to the band. Sometimes we are thinking if we should buy a soda for ourselves or keep that 1 euro for a music video or for plane tickets. It gets really difficult sometimes because we always want to put out quality stuff and that shit is really expensive!
I think we have made some pretty good live show experiences so far. The ideal live for me after the little experience that I have is to be worry-free from technical difficulties in terms of backline and production organization. Then what matters the most is the reaction of the audience. If you have a warm audience that is supportive and energetic everything is amazing. We have experienced some really good shows like the ones with Evanescence in Kiev in front of 5000 people or in Athens with Bullet For My Valentine in front of 2,500 people where the crowd was crazy. I hope that we will have even more and better ones in the future! What I really dream of is to someday be on the stage of a packed huge open-air festival! That would be amazing!8. Which attributes, do you think, that a new Metal Band should have in order to gain identity and be unique?
Bandcamp is a really kickass platform for musicians because it respects the hard work of the artists. However, platforms like Spotify and other streaming platforms with their pro rata models are beneficial only for the big names and not so much for underground artists which is the majority of the music out there. For me live shows and music videos are the best way to promote your music because people get to see how you are performing and especially in a live show you can interact with them in a more direct way.
The metal scene in Greece is really active in the last few years. More and more bands are starting to have a steady following and to organize their own shows and there are a lot of zines that support and spread the word of live shows. There are some promoters who are doing a great job as to the organization of lives but we are really lacking on suitable venues and equipment which sometimes make the whole thing a little bit difficult. Having toured in several countries in Europe I can see that that is our biggest disadvantage with respect to other countries. But there is a lot of passion to make up for it!
We are slowly starting recordings for our second album and organizing our live shows for next year. We are hopefully playing a live show on August 8th in a festival in Greece alongside Rotting Christ and we have already announced a rescheduled festival with Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil and Delain in Bulgaria for the summer of 2021. We have other shows in the making which will be announced in due time since the situation is a bit weird right now.
