Boomerang
Few hours before Boomerang
played live on stage and gave us a very pleasant pain on our necks cause
of the unstoppable headbanging, I had the opportunity to do a short interview
with Axel (singer), Stefan (guitarist) and Andreas. They were simply some
of the coolest guys I have ever met and also true heavy metal fans. They
don't really care about signing with a label, but they only care to write
the music they like and in my opinion that is a great attitude! Anyway,
read the interview and support this group. Also, if Boomerang play a show
near your town, go check them out. They really kill!!!
1.HELLO! SO YOU FINALLY MANAGED TO COME TO
GREECE... WERE THINGS HERE AS YOU EXPECTED THEM TO BE? HOW DID YOU FIND
THE GREEK METAL FANS?
Things are better. It is a great pleasure
to be here. The Greek fans are nice and very friendly. There were people
in Athens that they even knew our lyrics and they were singing them along
with us while we were playing live.
2.WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE FANS OF THESSALONIKI?
I don't know. I hope the same with Athens.
You see Greece is full of metal people, something that you don't see so
often in Germany...
3.AS BAND YOU HAVE THE ATTITUDE TO DO ALL YOUR
THINGS BY YOURSELVES. SO WILL YOU CONTINUE THAT WAY OR DO YOU HAVE PLANS
TO CHANGE A BIT AND FIND A DEAL WITH A LABEL?
To sign with a label is very difficult for
us cause most of the time they tell you how to write your music and we
want to have total freedom on that part. Also most of us we are family
men and we have jobs and so it would be very difficult to us to change
our way we live and start doing extensive tours for example... Maybe in
the future we might sign with a label. The only thing that we want from
a label is to have a good distribution and give us freedom to compose our
music the way we like... We can't say yet when the new album will be ready.
We have to find time first...
4.DO YOU HAVE ANY NEW SONGS READY? WILL YOU PLAY
ANY OF THEM ON THIS SHOW? WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO RELEASE YOUR NEXT ALBUM?
Yes! Actually we are on the process of giving
them the final form. I think that only one song is ready... However, we
won't play any new songs in this show. We can't say yet when the new album
will be ready. We have to find time first... We think that the new album
will be a bit more thrashy. It will be the link between "Balance Of Hate"
and "Weaveworld".
5.THE BROWSER OF THIS SHOW SAYS THAT YOU PLAY
HERE IN GREECE AS SPECIAL GUESTS OF JAG PANZER. IS THAT TRUE? WHAT KIND
OF PEOPLE ARE JAG PANZER? WERE YOU FANS OF THIS BAND OR NOT? DO THEY HELP
THE NEW GROUPS?
As special guests?!? We are fans of
Jag Panzer. The truth, though, is that the guys of Eat Metal Records told
us that they were organizing 2 Jag Panzer shows here in Greece and asked
us if we would like to play as support. ... And of course we accepted the
invitation hehehe.... Jag Panzer are really nice people and they
don't have the rock star attitude that you see in other metal bands...
6.THERE IS A RUMOR THAT SAYS THAT THE REST OF
THE EUROPE DOESN'T KNOW MUCH OF THE GREEK METAL SCENE OR EVEN MORE THEY
THINK OF IT LIKE SOME KIND OF JOKE... WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?
YOU HAVE PLAYED WITH SOME GREEK BANDS HERE IN GREECE. WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THEM?
Actually, we have heard more Metal here in
Greece than in Germany hehehe... Also, all the Greek bands we played with
were quite skillful and very good too...
7.DID YOU SHOOT ANY OF YOUR LIVE SHOWS HERE? WILL
YOU DO ANY VIDEO-CLIP WITH THEM?
Yes we will! We have taken many shots from
our live shows here in Greece (note: just visit the official site
of BOOMERANG and you can download the video clip showing the Greek fans).
8.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS SHORT INTERVIEW!
THE LAST LINES BELONG TO YOU... LEAVE A MESSAGE TO THE READERS OF BEHIND
THE VEIL WEBZINE...
We hope that we will satisfy all the people
that came to this show tonight. It is great to be here in Greece and we
would like to come again. Take Care...
