DAYNIGHT
1.Tell me the history of the band.
The band was formed in the year 2000 when Magnus convinced his old friend Robert to join the band. Andreas and Magnus knew each other since they had studied psychology together and they had thought about forming a band for a while. Ola was recruited the same way Lars Ulrish found Hetfield namely via a contactadd. We also have an extra guitarplayer by the name of Martin that has replaced Magnus guitarplaying during the last months. He is a friend of Ola.
2. Which are your main influences?
Robert is influenced by seventies band in general and Uriah Heep and Led Zeppelin in particular. Ola is influenced by more modern heavy metal bands like Iced Earth and Virgin Steele. Magnus is influenced by powermetal and folk music. Andreas likes instrumental music in general and instrumental music containing wild solos in particular. Magnus is our main songwriter so the bands main influence might be the same as his.
3.”Moment of your time” is your latest cd, have you got any reactions so
far?
Yes! There have bin a bunch of people who have contacted us via the net. Most of the reactions have bin positive.
4. Where do you come from?
We come from the town of Lund in the South of Sweden!
5. Tell me your opinion about the metal scene from your country
It’s relatively OK. There are a lot of talented bands but the Swedish Market is usually to small for most of them.
6. Have you played live outside from your country?
Not yet but we would love to . We would especially love to come and play for our fans in Greece!
7. Have you planned for a full length CD?
Yes but we haven’t really completed all our songs yet, not in terms of rehearsed at least.
8. I found you through internet, do you think that the net can replace the
old underground days?
Not really. It was much easier to get livegigs and recorddeals with big labels for metalbands in the seventies and eighties. The net has made it easier to promote yourself but the positive development ends there. The old underground days won’t come back as long as MTV is destroying the Metal community as it has been doing for the last 10 years.
9. Is metal a way of your life?
Sure, the freeway to our rehearsalhouse is made of 100% metal. Sorry for our dry humour! Ola is working as an electronicsassistant at a hospital so he can’t really live out the metal way of living during workingdays. Coming to work with a serious hangover isn’t recommended when you are responsible for equipment used during advanced surgery. He is also the only one in the band with a steady girlfriend. Robert works in a printinghall for newspapers and is propably the person who is most metal in the band, at least when it comes to large consumption of liquor. He can go to work at 1.00 clock in the night like nothing happened after a wild party with lots of Whiskey. No one can drink this guy under the table! Magnus and Andreas are both students. Magnus is a medicine student and Andreas is currently writing a master’s thesis in Parapsychology. As all Swedish students they enjoy a good party. Magnus and Andreas are also the bandmembers who are most likely to chase girls!
10. Send a message to your fans all over the world
We would love to meet all our fans out there on the road as soon as possible. Especially our fans in Greece. The girls are so gorgeous in Greece!
