Hello everyone. Number 1 is Das Ich 's "Anthchrist". There is a surreal atmosphere, and unusual-sounding synthesizers, all this is dissonant and otherworldly. This album sounds like no  other album by any other band. The same is for all Das Ich albums. I also hope for a miracle that they will release something new. Number two is X-Fusion's "Vast Abysm". It also sounds quite unusual for its genre, epic and vicious. And number three is Death Metal band Hollenthon's “With vilest of worms to dwell”. An album with a lot of orchestrations, but at the same time not soft at all. And also epic and evil. All my favorite albums are like that.

Distorted World was more personal, gothic and more experimental. But I wanted to write something more rhythmic, for the dance floor. There are almost no melodies here, only sounds synthesized on a weird hardware. This project is more entertaining, energetic, with more emphasis on kick drum.

This is a word from mythology, similar to darkness, gloom, they can describe a forest with a terrible swamp, fog and wild creatures. I love this aesthetic, so the album is named after it.

It's even easier and more fun. Every time you invent a certain sample on the synthesizer, without being attached to melodies, notes, traditional arrangements and other things from the music school. This music is written with knobs rather than keyboards. I use a modular synthesizer, it looks like a spacecraft control panel with its knobs, jacks, wires, and it is almost fully analog,  there are no presets in it, once you built a successful patch, recorded it, it will not be possible to recreate it again. Once you get some riff and say "wow!"  - record it immediately. You can't decide to fix something in it later. So I think such process is more creative.

I would not say that there is something fundamentally new in “Chthon”. Rather, it continues what was already laid down in the EP. I continue to use the same techniques in composition as in the EP. So don't be afraid to listen to the tracks in any order LOL.

"Chthonos" in ancient mythology means "in, under, or beneath the earth". Also Chthon is a science fiction novel by Piers Anthony . This novel is about an underground prison, which is a huge cave that stretches almost the entire planet, where terrible creatures live. There are no cells, no laws, no security, no clothes either, because it's too warm here. Just a wonderful place :). You can also remember the underground Zion from the movie The Matrix. In general, you can make associations with the underground gothic club LOL. So the concept is: Caves, darkness, demons, everyone is drunk and having a party. Everything that we love. “Happiness in darkness” © Gothminister.

It contrasts in many ways with the entire album, which probably wakes up the listener if he falls asleep from a constant rhythm. After all, remixes should not be similar to the original.

Of course, after the 1st one "Ghost" it is "Wir" ("We" in German). We is a dystopian novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin, and the voice sample in the track is from the corresponding German film adaptation of the novel, and this man screams that everyone should cut out fantasy. They did just that in the novel.

Maybe a single, but it's hard to say right now. Live shows are often canceled, so we can't talk about plans here. Let's find a creepy cave, put a beer pipeline in there, and have an illegal party there. "Chthon" club :)

Since I try to write music so that it takes everyone away from the boring gray everyday life, I wish that the disgusting reality does not absorb you. And thank you for the interview!
