We also wish to thank you for being interested to promote us among your Readers. Hello and big howdy to everyone!

"The Event Horizon" is now out to the stores. It's been a long time since your last official full-length release so I would like to know how you feel about it.

We're extremely happy that it's been finally recorded and released. This new album with a new vocalist is our next step on the path we started, to follow some time ago. But it's also something totally different - the sum of all our experiences; as for today - we feel very satisfied with it. We tried our best in order to saturate the whole material with dark mysticism.

Can you give us some details about the recording procedure? Was something special or something new during this period of preparation that contributed to the final result?

Well, everything went very traditionally, however we decided to make the least use of computer corrections, as we hate all those plastic productions, full of artificial sounds. Besides, the final result was mostly based on our brainstormy discussions, and sometimes even quarrels!

What were the reasons for this long-term absence?

Our line-up has changed a bit, and - as a result - our approach to music, as well. We always wanted to finish the new album, but there was always something in the way. We parted from our former vocalist, we lost our drummer, then it was really hard to gather everyone together in the studio at one time, and so on…

How would you describe "The Event Horizon" compared to "Prelude to a Sentimental Journey"? Apparently is more modern, but I would like to hear your own opinion.

As we said, it's totally different - and it would be futile to seek any continuation of our previous songs on the new album. We constantly evolve, and that's why we find creating the same things on and on absolutely senseless, because the real Act of Creation in Art depends on never-ending transformations.

I guess that you will agree when I say that competition is much more intense these days with all these bands. Which feature of Cemetery of Scream do you think is more attractive to the fans? In other words why should someone prefer "The Event Horizon"

Well, we're not afraid of any competition because music - both for artists and fans - is Art, not merchandise. But it has to be merchandise for modern labels as they live on selling their products. We are a branded band on the music market, all because of our hard work and going against the flow. We do not compete with any other artists, just the opposite: we cooperate with them and help them develop. All we want is compose good music with many untypical ideas included, and we believe our new album may be attractive to our fans, due to its alchemically innovated form.

I believe that "The Event Horizon" reflects the overall state in atmospheric metal scene today. Do you agree with this?

To some extent, yes, we do. But we are far from generalizing things, since it could harm the individual element hidden as a special message in every good piece of music. "The Event Horizon" is our meditation and reflection on the conflict between the modern world and the old one.

Are you satisfied with the issues of production and cover?

From the perspective of the time passed, we're never fully satisfied with what we've already done, so this time, it is the same as usual - we would have done many things differently, but it's too late to change anything, so we have to move forward. Next time, knowing the mistakes we've made, we'll do everything much more carefully and thus far better. As to the graphic concepts, we always choose perfectly fitting masterpieces of art, and such is our new cover - an artistic photography taken by a famous Lithuanian photographic artist, Mr Remigijus Treigys. We are enchanted with his vision, it goes so well with the music and lyrics on our latest release.

Can you give us some information on the cover? There are some figures on the cover. Is it a reference to you? How is it connected to the title of the album?

In a sense, one could interpret the figures as the band musicians, another could think it might be some listeners. We never force any interpretations into anyone, we only suggest them, slightly. Anyway, we realize the fact that the cover is very suggestive itself.

Which are your future plans? Concerning the fact that you are under the umbrella of a company that has produced some of the finest DVDs ever do you feel ready to release a DVD?

We're currently thinking about making a video-clip to the "Prophet" track, it will take time, however. It's not going to be an ordinary video. We cannot betray more of the secret - we don't want to push our luck.

And what about touring? Is going to be only on Polish ground or are you going to visit countries as well?

We'll tour both Poland and the rest of Europe on the occasion of "The Event Horizon" soon, but still we're learning to play the tracks in their special live versions. We also feel very attracted to the East, as people there are still very openhearted to music, they come in thousands to watch rock gigs! And last but not least - we do wish to play a few concert in Greece, as its ancient culture and powerful atmosphere would certainly add much to our music, needless to mention what a musical nation you are! So we're excited!

You are almost fifteen years on the scene. I would like to turn back and remember one positive and one negative moment of your careers.

All our moments have always been positive cos we love playing gigs together and recording new things, but we also had one negative moment - our biggest mistake, when we once disagreed to sign a contract with Nuclear Blast. We simply wanted to be honest to those who kept us obliged, that's all, but now we regret our decision.

Speaking of your career you have lived the scene in various times and periods, from fully underground and pen-based to internet. Which period is more pleasant for you and why?

We're sentimental about all the periods. Surely, the Internet has changed everything, but I guess you remember those days when photocopied fanzines were in fashion. It was so cute. It's really easy to make a fansite on the net, but publishing your own fanzine means much more effort. Pity this world is becoming so dehumanized and computerized, at the moment. Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes a curse. Everything depends on people, not on their inventions.

Marcin this is the end and I would like to thank you for sharing your time with us. I wish you all the best with your new release.

Thanks for the interview, too. Greetings to you , your colleague journalists and, most of all, to your dear Readers! Take care and keep the faith, and never listen to shitty, synthetic music. Stay dark!
