2.How would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recordings?
- We developed our sound starting from Death Metal, which is the most recognizable one in our tunes, but it’s surrounded by various influences. We wanted it to be something new and very
personal, so we improved it with a progressive and groovy attitude, combining driven and
punchy riffs with melodic and inspired ones.

3.This is the first release since 2012, can you tell us a little bit more about what has been going on during that time span?
- In 2012, when we published our first EP, we played with a guy who was guitarist and the main vocalist. After he left the band we needed to replace him, so some time later our guitarist
Francesco joined us, but we still didn’t have a singer so the other guitarist Riccardo started to
sing. For this reason we needed some time to re-arrange and work on our songs, in order to
make them sound the best!

4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
4 - Our lyrics mainly deal with psychological or philosophical topics. In particular, in our latest album all the lyrics are connected by the Greek concept of “Logos”, a natural law which leads
the universe and the mankind. We describe and analyze the human behaviors and their relation with it. This law may be listened and told, and that’s what we did in this work.

5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Fate Unburied'?
5 - Our name is taken by Foscolo’s sonnet “To Zakynthos”. We made our interpretation of the lasts lines: “…and our fate already written, the unmourned grave.”. We think it gives us a deep and hidden meaning, which probably contributes to making our music more interesting.
