Dear Nick, hi. First of all I would like to welcome you to our webzine and I would like also to congratulate you for your first self-financed album.

My warmest greetings Sir! Thanx a billion for your compliments.

It is very unusual for the Greek standards to start with an album. Is it actually a full length official release or maybe an extended demo that will test your powers and the feedback of the world?

Well, right from the very beginning we've regarded "Eyesight…" as a full length attempt. It's also a fine chance to check what people may think of our music and its recording process was certainly a jump-start at an era when we were seeking some motivation as to further focus on our songs.

What are the responses you take back from the various magazines and webzines?

Actually, your review is the first one we have received and we really dug it. We expect similar spirits from the ones to come.

What is exactly your story so far? What is your background? I mean do you have participated in other bands?

We've been in this band for 5 years more or less and therefore this current line-up is its very core. As far as other bands are concerned, George and Elias were in World Beyond band when at High school whilst also Elias used to be Utmost Contempt's vocalist and is responsible for many productions ( a busy man, huh?).As for Andrew and me, we had also participated in a couple of bands, yet their recorded proofs are few or even non-existent.

How would you describe your music? Do you think that we can attach one single label on your sound, e.g. progressive, or is it too constraining?

Progressive's fine, provided that the term's connected to open-mindedness and the natural melting together of different musical styles rather than to explosions of vanity accompanying a squeezing lemon, which result in a mostly dubious outcome. "Art rock" has also been attributed to our stuff by Mr. C.Hatzistamou and paraphrasing it, we sometimes use the term "art metal" too.

Is there a particular vision behind the formation of the band?

Sure. A dim one?. Anyhow, we like the process of writing songs and expressing ourselves via them, yet sadly it's quite-if not totally- futile to expect something more. If I might be a trifle bolder… Andrew-being an obsessive womanizer-is in for the chicks, Elias is in for the weed, George's a great sucker for chicks on weed, while my intent's even more morbid and abject to be penned down.

Dimeyes is an unusual name. Moreover it sounds like the word "Demise"? Is there any wordplay behind your name or just it occurred?

Way to go! Our name did not cross my mind out of the blue ("out of the blues" seems more appropriate). Further more, "Dim eyes" and "demise" relate to each other in a clear way to my mind and I deem anyone can ponder over it and give their personal explanations. It would be also more accurate to state that I have witnessed this connection rather than imagine it.

What are the issues you treat in your songs? The titles are quite fancy and to some degree provoking, so can you tell us a few things about it?

Well, there's a lot of personal stuff there (monstrously egoistic muthas, huh?) pretty hard to verbalize explicitly. Most of the time, the subjects unfold in an abstract and general way greatly assisted by the confusing titles we are fond of. Consequently, the songs might as well conceal what we aim to express rather than reveal it.

The artwork is very good and has an artistic essence. Can you give us more details about it?

Thanx a lot! The artwork is based on works by O. Redon, carefully chosen and abused so as to add a sweetly sour shade to the songs.

We live in the same city so it's a first class chance to share opinions about the scene. Why do you think that the bands from Patras fail to impress or do not succeed to cross the tight boundaries of the city?

I'm not quite sure, but it's such a pity! It is a fact though that we lack appropriate places that could hold a live concert and dash it!!! I might be bringing owls to Athens now, but I see them diminishing. I don't really intend to be either mean-spirited or Cassandr,a but all this is bound to contribute to the deteriorating of the whole situation and make our small city even poorer.

Being on the side of the musician, do you believe that there is a potential in our bands?

As for the potential of the bands, I think that there's an awesome one, an exceptional one. Moreover, not only is the quality really high, but it also covers a vast range of styles from jazz to avant-garde and even to extreme genres. Maybe we could derive some explanation from conspiracy scenario,s but I strongly hesitate to accept and/or make use of them.

To close this issue, do you think that there is a problem of synergies? Because I think that to some extend we do not know how to cooperate.

To some extent, this is correct although there are some brilliant exceptions. To put it succinctly, maybe the problems are mainly due to the difficulties lying in the synchronization of 4-5 people's moods, desires and time as well as the lack of discipline and will.

Do you plan any live appearances in order to promote "Eyesight is Getting Dim"?

This aspect of ours is really uncertain. Currently, we don't have a bass player in our ranks whilst our key-man will move to Zurich in February for reasons of studies (or so he claims…). Hence, only if we hap to find a bassist before that we may make it for a couple of live appearances.

What are your future plans?

We are rehearsing and preparing some new material right now so as to make our sophomore recording attempt. Our further future we ignore. :)

Dear Nick thank you very much for speaking to our webzine. I wish you all the best in "Eyesight is Getting Dim" and to all of you.

We honestly feel grateful for your support, interview and review. Hopefully, I was not overly verbose. Take care and all the best.
