TWYSTER

1.How are you Oliver?
 
Fine , thank you
 
2. In the site of Massacre records said tha “lunatic Siren” is your debut album,but I see in Twyster site that you have already two more cd’s.Why it is happen?
 
Yes,back in 1997 we recordered a nine track album called “Zipper Jaws” and the second called “Eclypse of the iris” and we recordered in 1999.Both cd’s we produced by ourselves and we distribute by ourselves. So “Lunatic Siren” is the real debut album, because we are in a label now.

3. So, Massacre Records listen the “Demo 2001” and after Twyster sing?
 
Yes,we record this demo back in 2000 with a new producer team and from this 3 track demo we have include all songs in the “Lunatic Siren”

4. I have the promotional copy and I see that near the title “The sun always shines on TV” exist an asterisk.
 
Yes, we have convert an A-Ha song.We do that because 80ies is very important for us.We wish to carry the spirit of the 80ies in 2002.The only change we have is to play it more heavier.
 
5 .I search in your site and I went to the biography section but I can’t understand anything because everything are in German.So could yoyu please tell me a debrief of the bands history?
 
First of all, we work to translate the site.Twyster was born in 1995 from me and we have the same line-up until today.Only the guitar player, there is another guy today because our guitar player,who we record with him the “Lunatic Siren” wants to leave the band because of problems with his work so he decide to leave.Also the music is a little bit different from the two cd’s to the “Lunatic Siren”.The reason is our producer team they made a little more hard rock sound on “Lunatic Siren” and we had take part in many festivals and october we will tour again.
 
6. Maybe you come for a gig to Greece?
 
No,not this year. We would very happy to leave the German board for a tour in Europe, but is very difficult to get a European tour with only one cd in the market.

7. Have you heard any reactions for “Lunatic Siren” from magazine,radio stations,fans etc?
 
The reactions are very very good. I have heard 100 reactions and only 2 or 3 want to kill us (laughting). We have a good mark in German Metal Hammer I think is 5 ot 7 , which is great for a debut album.

8. (Interrapted him) But hear in Greek Metal Hammer you get 4 to 10.
 
OK, we can live with that and I accept this mark.
 
9. Tell me your work in your band

I am the bass player and the song writer which is a little bit unusual because the songs mostly the guitar player or the singer writes.I start with composing sixteen years ago and all the songs are my babies

10. Do you create the band ?

Yes
 
11.”Lunatic Siren” is a concept album?
 
No, the lyrics are mixture from many ifluenced like movies, weather etc.Each song is a story for example “50 bloody bucks” is from the “Blade Runner” movie or “Mrs. Borden” is the real story from Lizzy Borden.Also we have a power balland which is the last song. So the differences of the songs are very big.
 
12. If someone told you that metal bands with female vocals are in modish now,What you will answer to him?
 
I think that female vocals are still a little bit rare.Many people said that Coco(vocalist) sound like Doro from Warlock, but I think Coco generaly Twyster is a unique band.

13.You describe your music as Power Metal?
 
I have to do this, because many magazines they do but the only thing I can say to that ,is some people called it hard rock ,some people power metla , we say it Twyster music.

14. Your favorite Bands?
 
My favorite are Iron Maiden, Steve Harris is also a bass guitar and a song writter so I admire him. Also I like AC/DC, Helloween , Gammaray and many more

15 .OK Oliver I would like to thank you
 
Ok Antony , Bye
