Daniel Tyka is a great artist from Poland and I wish him much success.
And he did a great job on our album cover, when I saw the art work I was very, very happy. His artwork is amazing, check out his page online. And so we got in contact with Daniel Tyka, and when he answered back we were very happy. So we wanted to look for an artist that would fit my vision on how I wanted the cover to come out. The cover concept was my vision in order to match the album title ‘The Fallen Entities’. So, can you tell a bit more about that as well? Please don’t forget that even though I am in a band I am also a fan of music. Metal fans are very cool and if they like a song, they’ll listen to it. One thing that I like to add is that what I love about metal music is the artistic freedom that each band has on what type of topic a band wishes to write about. But as many may also notice we do also write about other topics like the economy, climatic catastrophic phenomenon, automation, AI, etc. The album title was inspired by Genesis 6 and that after that it had a second influx of the Fallen Angels as documented in the Bible. Yes, it does influence us in some of our lyrics. It’s not a secret you follow the Christian faith and I think you take a lot of inspiration from the Bible when it comes to the lyrics and album title. I think that ‘The Fallen Entities’ picks up where ‘Beyond The Unknown’ left off.

An upgrade version that is modernized without losing the perfect energy we had with ‘Beyond The Unknown’ back in the 90s. I strongly feel that ‘The Fallen Entities’ is ‘Beyond The Unknown’ 2.0. That was our vision from the beginning when Moyses and I started to write ‘The Fallen Entities’ album. We wanted to capture the same energy we had with ‘Beyond The Unknown’. How did you approach this album when you started writing? It also seems you took a look to your past albums as well as moving forwards at the same time. The compositions are great with plenty of variety. With this album we decided to record the material first and then look for a label so we could get the album to the fans as soon as possible since the fans were expecting a new album from Opprobrium for a few years now. They have years of experience and understand the vision that each band has. So we feel at home with High Roller Records.
But since we went through a lot of hard work with this record and making the songs, we knew we had to choose a label that would understand that. So, when did you hook up with them? Was this after you recorded your album or in an earlier state? And were there any other interested parties?Īs with any band, there are always different offers.
#Incubus band death metal free#
I guess you were free agents before signing a deal with them. ’The Fallen Entities’ has been released by High Roller Records. So even in this time lapse I did keep busy writing songs either for Opprobrium or for my solo instrumental band And It Echoed In Every Part. The band name of my solo album is And It Echoed In Every Part. Also I would like the fans to know that before we recorded ‘The Fallen Entities’ I’ve released a solo album called ‘Let Your Light Shine’ in the style of rock instrumentals with no vocals. But after all these struggles and sufferings, we did continue the recordings in Lady Lake, Florida. And we had to move, so we’ve decided to move to Florida. And yes, in the beginning of the recording of ‘The Fallen Entities’ in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, our area where we used to live, got hit by a major flood in 2016, and that held us back big time concerning the recordings. We had a lot of setbacks in the past before and during the recording of ‘The Fallen Entities’. I assume this has something to do with the hurricanes? I think you already mentioned in 2016 you were about to release a new album.
Can you tell us a why it has taken such a long time to come with a follow-up to ‘Mandatory Evac’ (2008). Hi guys, great to see you return with your fifth full-length.
