2.You have a new album coming out in a couple of months, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical
direction of the newer material and also how does it differ from previous recordings?
MI: Yes our new album "For I Am Genocide" will be out on April 1st this year.Now musically it's a mix of classic
Death metal riffing,including elements of "modern" drumming like our previous release. I think that this album is "a level up" than our previous work "The Age Of Recreation", from the hand of song structuring,composing and final production.It's a mix of new and old era style of death metal music and sound. Expect a massive album of 9 tracks inspired mostly from the us sound of genre, similar with bands like Unmerciful, Hate Eternal,Origin,Severe Torture and more...

apocalypse and war, providing a fulfill dark feeling from start to finish.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Mass infection'?
MI: When we was in searching of the band's name back in 2003,we would like to found something that reminds
the whole bad aspects of the human society over the years.Mass Infection was the unique name to describe the falling of every human's salvation belief. Many people, one by one everyday driven into misery and fear.
That's what we call "Mass Infection".

MI: The main direction of our music these last years is the memorable riffing and the mix of the old school and the newest sound of death metal.I think that our future releases will be in the same veins of music and maybe a little bit more "darker" than our previous works.
