The whole story has begun in 2003 when a group of guys put together to create something new. Later on, they started with rehearsals, own production as well as with first gigs. I´m talking about a Slovak band Eye Beyond Sight and we´re bringing up to you this interesting interview with them.

In the beginning of your existence you had to go through several personnel changes. How have you kept the appetite to continue? Several times, you had to basically „start again“.

Doki: The personal changes have occured about 2 years after the band was established. Then the bassplayer Kepas and drummer Bálint have been replaced. Actually, only they two needed to learn the songs. It was at one time, we didn´t have to do the things separately. 

Is your current line-up already constant?

Doki: The line-up has been constant actually for 5 years. Macsek, the guitarist, missed out one year but Maťo from Apokryf has replaced him during that period.

How would you describe the music of Eye Beyond Sight?

Kepas: We classify it as metal.

Did you have any musical “idols“? What or who has influenced you to create and start to play music?

Kepas: We all have been growing up with metal music. And if you really love it you need to do it as well. We were influenced by bands like Slayer, Sepultura, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Machine Head, but of course many others.

Why have you decided to write lyrics in English?

Kepas: We want to present our music also outside Slovakia. 

How the name of your band was born? Who invented it or who came up with that?

Doki: Tomi and  Macsek invented it.

What do you think was the biggest difference between the process of composing of your first album “Dies ad Quem“ and the new one “The Sun and the Flood“?

Kepas: The main difference was concerning the line-up. Bálint, the drummer, wasn´t there when we have been working on “Dies ad Quem“.

You had relatively long break between these two albums. It was something like 4 years. Could you present your brand new record to us? I mean the title, songs, artwork etc...

Bálint: New album "The Sun and the Flood" is a result of our current line-up. The album carries a certain message to this society. The lyrics descibe a status and situation that occurs nowadays. I mean political manipulation as well as manipulation in media. But on the other hand, the lyrics are also about the emotions. Macsek designed the artwork and the person you can see there is our second guitarist Doki.

The first song is called Sick Society. Do you think we are really living in a sock society?

Bálint: Yes, I do.

Some time ago, you performed on a big festival in Hungary. Of course, I mean Metalfest. How was it? Did you like that?

Bálint: That was an amazing experience for us. We were able to perform on the same stage as Kreator, Kataklysm, Rage and Equilibrium.

Was it the biggest opportunity for you so far?

Bálint: Of course, one of the biggest. But the gig with Sepultura in Šaľa in 2009 was also a big honour for us. 

What are your plans for the future?

Doki: We want to develop our music and enrich metal scene.

Would you like to tell something to your fans or our readers?

EBS: Read Hellmagazine, listen to our music, come and see the gigs and STAY METAL!!!!!

Thank you very much and we wish you all the best for your future carreee!
