ROZHOVORY

  

Freedom Call soon release a new album. I could not miss this band and so I prepared my questions have been addressed to the charismatic frontman. To learn more about the upcoming album, but why look forward to concert in Slovakia and on all this said Chris Bay.

 
What you like most about your new upcoming album? What for should we be looking forward?

I 'm loving the endless energy and the natural instrumental sounds...maybe my attitude is a bit old fashioned, but I love when the instrument are naturally performed not programmed...
A typcial Freedom Call album, colorful and with energetic performance.

Your lyrics are almost always epic and fantasy. What is the main inspiration source for your song lyrics?
The inspiration of lyrics and music is always the real life, dreams and longings.

Are you guys fans of some fantasy books or movies? :)

There are a lot of interesting and fascinating books which are activating your creativity.
But for me it's important to READ it as a book, because only this way can build up your own fantasy...
 
4. Metal music is many times about dark and sometimes also depressive stuff. Why you do decided for playing metal music that is so positive and optimistic?

I don't know an understandable reason, that metal music must be dark or doomy...
For me it fits perfectly to combine metal music with happy lines and positive lyrics.
I didn't decide to do it in this way...I'm not able to write dark or depressive songs. it's my character and attitude to life...being optimistic and thinking in the postive way...

Do you like playing in Slovak Republic and are you satisfied with your Slovak fans? Is there something you like about them?

Slovak metal heads are one of the most enthusiastic fans in Europe!
We love their open minded mindset to metal music.
They are not selecting their favorite bands and dislike the others.
Slovak metal fans are party people, we love to play there ;)

How do you prepare for a show? Are there some rituals you guys always do before starting playing on stage?

We are very concentrated before going on stage...I'm always very nervous, but not in an obvious way. I have to be bit separated to warm up my vocal chords, but then we give us “the 5 “ and the show goes on .

Our Slovak metal fans look forward for upcoming More Than Fest. Is such a big festival more fun or stress for musicians like you?

We already played one time before at this festival, it's one of the greatest metal festivals in Slovakia.
All stress at big festivals is positive energy for us. We are really enjoying every moment at festivals like this. To meet our friends of other bands and having a good time with the crowd while performing...

Sometimes things may go wrong... Can you remind of some especially negative experience from a concert?

Mostly the problems are caused from the technical side...but anyways, it's better to take it from the funny side, or you're pissed off for the entire show.
And that's not what the fans deserved.

Do you listen to your own music in your free time or you prefer listening to your favourite artists?

Good question, I'm getting this one lots of time...
But honestly, if you are working to write, record and produce a new album, you're listening to the new songs almost a million times...
So, I prefer to listen to other music, which is inspiring me.

As an artist you must travel a lot around almost whole world. How do you feel when there's so much politic problems in EU now? Do you feel safe?

Some problems in the world politics are made to make the people scared...
Of course, it's not the best feeling if your flight schedule is close to a terror attack or you're traveling in a country where the political situation is not solid.
But that is part of our job...
Better dying while living an exciting life, than dying dead bored ;)

Have you ever thought of  stopping for good with metal music and live like "normal" people do?

So, here is the counter question...what's a normal life?? lol
A normal life should be, being honest to yourself, enjoying your lifetime, being respectful to anybody...trying to make the world a bit better.
So, tell me, what's to change  to live a more normal life? ;)

What is your biggest motivation to go on? :)

To live my dream, my passion...and to get the best girls at the backstage area ;)
