Scarleth Interview


1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

Band’s style is expanding constantly and represents mind-blowing mixture of many melodic genres – from power, folk, doom and gothic metal to modern/progressive metal.

3.The band has been around since 2005 but so far have only released 2 albums, can you tell us a little bit more about the gaps in between releases?

- That's because of the line-up changes through the years. It is difficult to be involved in the band for a long time without getting paid for what you are doing - that is the sad reality of Ukrainian metal scene.

9.When can we expect a new album and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

darker and heavy compared to what we did before.

10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
