Thank you for this interview! Gonna see those guys in Berlin during their upcoming tour. Can't wait😁🤘🏻 Regarding the last question, I think Symphonic-Metal is currently experiencing a new wave. We had the comeback of Delain and Xandria, we have the more and more rising popularity of bands like Visions of Atlantis, Black Briar or Beyond the Black, we have the continuous working of bands like Epica and Kamelot, and we had this reaction hype around Floor Jansens amazing vocals, opening Nightwish to new fans outside of the (Symphonic-) metal scene, and by this, also opening the whole Symphonic metal genre to much more people. Nightwish will release their 10th album this year, Epica is working on their next record as well, Visions only a few hours away from releasing their new album, Xandria continuing their comeback from last year with one new single this year (wich will likely be followed by more music soon). Wintersun will finally release TIME II, wich ofcourse is more of an melodic death metal album, but with a lot of Symphonic influences and orchestrations. So I think this genre is becoming relatively popular again😊
The arrival of Clemy marked a decisive turning point for the band, but one key element was still missing. Meek's arrival completed this transformation. Thank you, Meek, for the compositions. I hope this line-up will remain unchanged. Kudos to Thomas for his humility. Voa is his baby, but he has allowed the new members to fully express their creativity. Clemy and Meek have found a fertile ground here to develop their creativity, art, and each enriches the other. Attending a concert is seeking to be transported elsewhere. A concert is also a show, a complete experience. It’s heartening to hear that pre-sales are going well. Blessed are the artists who leave a mark in this world, because your music is eternal.

Cool interview! 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you
Love Meek's vocals. Can't wait to see Temperance at Progpower this year. Wish he had a band where he was the only vocalist.
interesting about the markets.... I think they could do really really well in South America... Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
Meek is musical genius
