10 years: I don’t know where it all started. What was the first spark to start a band & rule the world (or at least aim for it). Maybe it was just pure insanity from the start. A force nature or something like that. It was quite a hard to get friends & start a band to play music that wasn’t a) puritanistical metal or b) indie rock (which was the coolest thing in early 2010’s). But somehow we got it all together. First it was just me & @joonasbc but very quickly we found the other members as well. Going solo wasn’t (and is still not) an option (it feels like you have to pay your band to be your ”friends” if you know what I mean?). So It had to be a band. I’ve always been a team player I’d go insane alone (and my ADHD is just too bad for handling everything). Looking back the journey it all feels like yesterday but on the same time only like 100 years. Weird. 1/3 of my life has been just aiming towards the impossible. Learning, grinding, struggling, travelling, failing, sweatin’, bleeding and then finally winning. But as long as we decide to do this the fight will go on. As I’ve got older I’ve realized that the numbers will drive you insane in a long run. So I’ve dived back to the square one - what was the reason to start it all in the first place? For me the reason is fans. 100%. In one week we’ll raise the bar higher than ever. Carry on & thank you for reading this!
