What was the beginning point for your music career? How did it all start?
We started in Porto Alegre, Brazil, as a bunch of friends trying (and failing) to cover Queens of the Stone Age. The problem was… we weren’t exactly great musicians, so instead of struggling to replicate their songs, we figured it was easier to write our own. That way, no one could say we were playing it wrong—because it was ours! From there, we embraced our own sound, blending heavy riffs, stoner vibes, and a lot of raw energy.

Were there any bumps on the road? What kind of challenges did you have to deal with?
Absolutely. The road is never smooth in rock and roll. From struggling to find the right members to dealing with the usual financial struggles of an underground band, we’ve seen it all. Booking gigs, getting our name out there, and managing everything ourselves wasn’t easy, but we’ve learned to embrace the grind.

What was the most fulfilling and satisfying moment so far?
Releasing our debut album Spellbound was definitely a huge moment for us. Seeing our music out there, getting reactions from fans, and knowing that people connect with our songs—there’s nothing more satisfying than that. Also, every time we step on stage and feel that energy from the crowd, it’s a reminder of why we do this.

How would you describe the music that you typically create?
Imagine driving through a post-apocalyptic wasteland with nothing but heavy riffs and dark skies ahead—that’s our sound. It’s stoner metal with a cinematic vibe, mixing existential dread with elements of horror, sci-fi, and a touch of doom.

What is your creative process like?
It usually starts with a riff. Someone brings in something raw, and we build around it, letting the song take shape naturally. Lyrics often come from imagery and stories we create—zombies, alien invasions, or inner demons manifesting into something tangible. We let the music guide us.

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
We’d love to see more support for underground and independent bands. The industry often focuses on what’s trending, leaving a lot of great music buried under the surface. More fair streaming payouts and better opportunities for smaller bands to tour would make a huge difference.

If you were asked to give a piece of advice to upcoming bands, what would that be?
Stay true to your sound and don’t chase trends. Play the music you love, even if it doesn’t fit into a specific mold. Also, be ready to work your ass off—nothing comes easy, but if you keep pushing, the right people will find you.

What has been the best performance of your career so far?
There have been a few wild ones, but one of our best gigs was when we played a packed underground venue where the crowd was just as crazy as we were. The energy was unreal—people screaming the lyrics back at us, headbanging like there was no tomorrow. That’s the kind of night you live for.

If you didn’t become a musician, what would you be doing now?
Probably something still connected to music—maybe running a record store, working in a garage blasting Motörhead all day, or just wasting time on video games. Music is in our blood, though, so it’s hard to imagine doing anything else.

What is new with the band at the moment? What are you currently working on and would like to share with the world?
Right now, we’re writing new material—taking our sound to heavier and darker places. We’re also working on getting back on the road, bringing our music to as many people as possible. Stay tuned, because we’ve got some surprises coming.
