Beware Of Safety, commonly abbreviated as BoS, is an instrumental post-rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band plays sprawling, instrumental rock that could be classified as post-metal, post-rock, and even math rock at some points.
Milanku is name after the author Milan Kundera, which books I was (Carl) reading at the time we got together. It is also the name of a character in one of his book, La Plaisenterie.
2. Do you have a standard procedure of creating a song? Do you just jam around or is there a main riff and the track is build up on it?
Yeah, it is mostly like that! There is no particular way of creating a our song. We try to stay open minded and creative. We could just keep on playing the same idea for a couple a weeks sometimes… without finding the right «spirit». But generally we manage to find our way and build upon feelings.
3. What are your influences and what kind of music do you hear when you are at home?
We all listen to a lot of music. To speak for myself, I’m really into mellow electronic music like Kiasmos, Ólafur Arnalds, with a lot of textures and sound-shaping. But I also really enjoy listening to bands like Cult Leader….
4. Which is the one album you can't live without?
I think the album I might have listen the most in my entire life is Leatherface «Mush». Since I totally appreciate all of their albums, I would say that Mush is the one I cannot live without.
5. What's the first record you've ever bought?
Humm, I remember when I was a little boy, asking my mom to buy Metallica’s «And Justice For All» on cassette... not to say Megadeth and stuff... Other than that, I also remember going at the record store to get cassettes from Nofx and Propagandi…
6. Name a band that you would like to share the stage or tour with?
Ok, It might not be the band’s choice, but I would definitely like to share the stage with Mogwai, or Mono. But as a band, let’s say we’d like to share it also with Envy.
7. Did the internet and specially the blogs helped to spread your music around the world? Name a place (country) that you were surprised to know your music has reached to?
Humm, I would say that it’s always nice when we get emails from Russia, but it’s also very nice when we get comments or emails from any far away countries from our home.
8. Do you support the idea of bandcamp where fans can decide the price or services like Spotify?
Yes, I think as a band, the more people listen to us, the more they would come at concerts. So that’s the best part.
9. Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?
Still jammin' in our rehearsal place on Friday night !
10. Is the artwork of an album important nowadays in the digital era?
Yeah I think it is still very important to define your direction on the album covers.
11. What is you favorite album cover?
Hahah, I always liked the Dinosaur Jr «Green mind» album cover, the young lady with a cigarette.
12. It seems that a lot of people are turning on vinyl again. Why do you think that is and which is your preferable media format?
I think it is all about finding the perfect tone…A lot of music are recorded with non-analog equipment, which then turns into MP3 and other compressed format. The idea behind the vinyl revival is about re-connecting with pure sound.
13. What's the most vivid story or moment as a band?
I would say is when we went to Japan on tour in 2013. I was just great to meet our Japanese friends and tour with them.
Milanku are going to release their new album "De Fragments" on November 6th 2015!

City Of Ships is a three-piece rock band from the USA since 2005. Members live in Brooklyn NY and Austin TX.
Tengil is a name almost every swedish child grew up with, since it's from one of author Astrid Lindgren's famous stories.The story is called The Brothers Lionheart. Tengil is an evil ruler in the world of Nangijala, a place you come to in the afterlife, according to the story.
2. Do you have a standard procedure of creating a song? Do you just jam around or is there a main riff and the track is build up on it?
A song usually starts from a riff someone plays, that we decide to keep, but it happens in so many different places. It can just as well be from someone sitting at the piano, as us jamming in the rehearsal space. If we decide to keep a riff, we record it and try to fit it together with others later. Usually the song we make fit in the context of a concept, so we try to fit the riffs we make in to that.
3. What are your influences and what kind of music do you hear when you are at home?
We all certainly have a diverse taste in what kind of music we like and listen to, ranging from classical music, to bands such as Bon Iver or Touché Amoré, but there is also a lot of bands we all enjoy as well. As for our own music, we find a lot of inspiration from bands such as O'Brother, Lifelover and Nine Inch Nails. We would be sitting here all autumn if we had to name them all.
4. Which is the one album you can't live without?
Anton: "Deadwing" by Porcupine Tree
Sakarias: the OST of "The Lord of the Rings"
Pontus: "The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance
Karl: "Good Morning Susie Soho" by Esbjörn Svensson Trio
5. What's the first record you've ever bought?
Sakarias: "Era 2" by Era
Pontus: "Lest we forget" by Marilyn Manson
Anton: "Pray for Villains" by Devildriver
Karl: "The Eminem Show" by Eminem
6. Name a band that you would like to share the stage or tour with?
O'Brother is a band we all would love to tour or at least play with. It's a little hard to know if you would like to tour with a band that you really look up to,since you don't know if the musicians are nice people or not, which we think is the most important thing if we would tour with anyone.
7. Did the internet and specially the blogs helped to spread your music around the world? Name a place (country) that you were surprised to know your music has reached to?
Well the internet helped us a lot, no doubt about that. For example, us getting in contact with Japan-based Tokyo Jupiter Records. It was a huge surprise to us when Kimiyuki sent us an e-mail, telling us he found our old EP's and wanted to work with us with our new album "SIX". The internet is a great way to get your music out all over the world, but it can also be quite the hassle competing for the attention of big webzines or blogs with other bands out there. But if you keep working hard you might catch someone's eye, and getting some exposure out of that.
8. Do you support the idea of bandcamp where fans can decide the price or services like Spotify?
We like them both in different ways I guess. It's great to have bandcamp where you or the buyer can decide what price to sell/pay. It's just a great functioning service all in all. And as for Spotify it's really convenient for the listener to use since you're just one search-bar away from thousands of different songs from all over the world for a cheap to no price at all. Maybe it's not the best way for a non-famous band like ourselves to get rich, but that isn't the point for us either. We just want to spread our music as much as we can, finding those who would really enjoy what we do,and for that, Spotify is a great tool.
10. Is the artwork of an album important nowadays in the digital era?
Yes it is, because in a social media context and almost everywhere else on the web, it becomes the "profile picture" of your current piece of work, often the first thing new people see when they come across you. In this way the artwork becomes your first chance to communicate what your work is about, and when people come back to it after listening to your music, it serves as a way for you to expand the story you're telling.
11. What is you favorite album cover?
It's hard to remember and decide among the thousands of great album covers we're aware of but here's a few: Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Shadows Of The Sun - Ulver, The Satanist - Behemoth etc.
12. It seems that a lot of people are turning on vinyl again. Why do you think that is and which is your preferable media format?
Because the only real advantage the CD had over vinyl was that of convenience, it was easier to take with you, you could play it in your car, you could skip tracks easily and so on. With the dawn of digital albums and streaming, all that was made even easier so there's really no reason for CDs to continue being the mainstream format. However, If you're wiling to discard convenience, vinyl albums demand more attention from you in order to listen to them and that makes them more immersive. Also important is that the cover of a vinyl album is the size of a small painting, and we've seen many people using the to decorate their homes.
13. What's the most vivid story or moment as a band?
It feels almost like you've been in this band playing music for all of your life, since it's taking up so much of your time. So picking one moment or memory with the band isn't the easiest. But one moment worth mentioning is the short EU-tour we did with our friends in Totem Skin during late 2013, visiting Germany, Belgium and Denmark. In Denmark, we spent one night in the home of the guy who put us up with the show, where we slept in this room with maybe five to seven guinea pigs. Real and alive ones at that. And they where awake all night, running around making noise and doing guinea pig-stuff, so it was quite difficult to get some sleep for the next day. This was also the night Sakarias got drunk for the first time in his life, drinking tequila straight out of the bottle with our very dear friend Behzad.
Tengil released their ablum "Six" this year and it sounds amazing!
Band: Creshna
Album: The Fallout
Label: Self Released
Year: 2015
Tracklist
01. I Would Tell You Tales
02. Canticle
03. When Heroes Fade
04. The Fallout
05. For All I Know
06. The Precursor Streaming
Setting off on September of 2014, Creshna is the inevitable outcome of years of mutual respect, appreciation and love between its members. "The Fallout" is only the starting point on a series of events and sequences, taking place after The War.
When I first pressed play on this one, I definitely didn't expect anything like this!
The album begins with "I Will Tell You Tales", a great instrumental post-rock intro track and then comes "Canticle", which all of the sudden hits you with it's powerful vocals and before you realize what happened brings you down again. "When Heroes Fade" comes next with it's sludgy feeling to feed the listener's hunger for something heavier. "The Fallout" with a simple guitar melody and spoken words works like an intermission for what is to come. "For All I Know"is the best track of the album in my opinion, clearly influenced by Amenra, which is not a bad thing at all! "The Precursor" is the last track on this 35 minute journey, which is a powerful closure and leaving no other option, than press play again!

Zachary Reid is the eponymous pseudonym used by ambient producer/composer Zack Hansen, also know as a founding member and drummer of Tucson based doom monsters North (Prosthetic Records), and grind band Languish (Battleground Records/Crown and Throne Inc).
1. How did you came up with the name for your latest project IIVII?
I wanted a name that was short, symmetrical, and was pronounceable in a least one way…meaning not all consonants. I’ve been pronouncing as ivy, but have also read another pronunciation which is cool too, eve.
2. Do you have a standard procedure for creating a song? Do you just jam around or is there a main sound and the track is build up on it?
The last few records, including IIVII and A Storm of Light, I have been starting with noise mostly…parts of movie scores looped in reverse, screaming kids in massive reverb, NASA space probe sounds etc. That weird shit always sets a unique mood and usually inspires me to start adding new noise to the old noise, and then somewhere actual instrumentation will start to come into the mix.
3. The artwork is depicting a derelict space colony across Saturn. Do you think this will become a reality in near future?
Probably not as soon as I would like. Stephen Hawkings has predicted the end of humanity in the next 1000 years if we don't start to colonize other habitable planets. So if we don't destroy each other before we develop the necessary equipment, then yeah…it may happen at some point.
4. What do you think about extra terrestrial civilisations? Do they exist? Are they advanced?
The odds are in favor for extra-terrestrial life. Our sun is one very average star out of an estimated 200 - 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone. Our planet is one among 100 billion planets in the galaxy. The age of universe suggests that alien civilizations could be more or less advanced depending on the their environmental conditions.
5. “Colony” could easily be the soundtrack of a sci-fi movie or TV series. Is something like this in your future plans? To dress a movie with your music or even direct and compose the music for your own sci-fi movie?
Both would be awesome. I think creating a soundtrack would be a bit more realistic. Movies are insanely expensive. But yes, exploring all options! haha.
6. What are your influences and what kind of music do you hear when you are at home?
I listen to everything except pop and modern country. It’s a pretty schizophrenic collection of music. metal, rock, experimental, drone, dub, blah blah blah. In the last 2 days I have listened to Ranking Joe, Pj Harvey, Nick Cave, Metallica, Creedence, Hair and Skin Trading Company, Joy Division, The Police, Bad Brains, The Cure, Nortt, and probably few more. Heavy influences for me are Joy Division, Black Flag, The Cure, Ministry, Brian Eno, Arvo Part.
7. Which is the one album you can't live without?
Like on a desert island? That's insanely tough…Pink Floyd - Meddle or Joy Divison - Closer, or Hair and Skin Trading Company - Over Valance.
8. What's the first record you've ever bought?
I bought random crap records in 2nd / 3rd 4th grades. In 7th grade my dad’s co-worker let me borrow (for a year) all of the Black Flag records. I think the same week I bought The Cure - Pornogaphy as well.
9. You’ve collaborated with big names either by designing their artwork or directing their videos and visuals or even by founding and taking part in bands. With whom would you like to collaborate in the future?
Young and upcoming bands are always fun to work with. Big names that come to mind are Pj Harvey, Nick Cave, Massive Attack, Die Antwoord.
10. Do you support the idea of bandcamp where fans can decide the price or services like Spotify?
They are both interesting. I think Spotify needs to work out a better payment system for artists. I use Spotify to find music all of the time, and for that I really like it, however I buy the music that I latch onto rather than continually streaming from Spotify. Bandcamp feels pretty straight forward, albeit it’s not curated whatsoever, and so there is no quality control.
11. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I have no idea really. Time goes so damn fast. I just keep working my ass off and hope I can continue to make a good living at all of this. I feel really lucky for how things have gone over the last 5 years.
12. Is the artwork of an album important nowadays in the digital era?
Yeah definitely. Even the iTunes single image still gives people insight into the music, where the artist is coming from, and a visual reference for the music. the massive explosion of vinyl over the last 5 years has also brought back some more importance to the artwork.
13. What is your favorite album cover?
Storm Thorgerson is probably my favorite album-cover creator. As a kid i was always drawn to Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here.
14. It seems that a lot of people are turning on vinyl again. Why do you think that is and which is your preferable media format?
I think the format makes people relate to the music more. The artwork is bigger, you have to interact with the album itself, flip the sides etc. the fidelity rules. Unfortunately my set up right now is based on the computer. All of my records are still packed away from our last move. I’d like that to change sooner than it will.
15. What's the most vivid story or moment as a musician?
Hmmm, probably 2 different scenarios.
1. playing in Kiev last year and seeing the city changed by the riots. Then we left Kiev to play Minsk, Moscow and St Petersburg, and drove for 12 hours every night with no hotel, our driver was high on meth, blaring BOTH a russian CB radio and Russian pop music. I assumed we would die on one of those drives but somehow we made it out alive. the shows were all amazing.
2. playing ATP in London with Slayer, Melvins, and Yob.
IIVII is the new solo project fabricated by visual artist, multi-instrumentalist and composer, Josh Graham, which focuses on sonically engulfing and moody soundscapes, layered with a science-fiction edge.
Well, in fact we have to say that we are not sure about the origin of the name. Our drummer, Jordi, one day suddenly came up with the name. He claims that read on the internet that is one of the many words that the Inuits, the people who inhabits antarctic regions, have for snow; Astralia was supposed to mean -on his words- something like snow lit by the full moon. We could never refute the information. Anyway, it sounds great to us and quoting what the guys at Labirinto said once to us talking about the same question: who cares the meaning, you will build it yourself. Well said!
2. Do you have a standard procedure of creating a song? Do you just jam around or is there a main riff and the track is build up on it?
We use to combine both. It is an indescribable feeling when you start jamming and you create a song or a passage out of nothing, the three of us blended and doing it at the same time without any preconceptions. Is awesome and we use to jam a bit every rehearsal. But, at the end, it is true that jamming usually drives you to the same paths and structures. That's why we also use to write at home fresh riffs and ideas and then we put it all together in the room.
3. What are your influences and what kind of music do you hear when you are at home?
Roger: I listen mostly instrumental music and derived genres. But in my ipod there is also room for music I used to listen while ago and I still listen like stoner or doom. Albert: Mostly like Roger, I listen to a lot of instrumental music, also a lot of OST. It's great to hear some music that brings you to other places. But of course there's space for all kind of genres, mostly rock, stoner, progressive rock and also a little bit of math, it always depends on your mood... Jordi: I love post-rock but I also enjoy playing a math or stoner record while doing things at home or on my way to work in the car.
4. Which is the one album you can't live without?
Roger: Hard one. I change the one album time to time, but Solace by Jakob is probably the album that I have played more times. A masterpiece which I would bring with me anywhere. Albert: It changes from time to time but one that never get out of my ipod is Lateralus by Tool. Jordi: Solace from Jakob, definitely. I have many favorite albums, but if I have to choose this one...
5. What's the first record you've ever bought?
Roger: I can't even remember! Probably Smash from The Offspring in cassette tape. Albert: Mine was AC/DC Highway To Hell. Jordi: I believe it was In Utero from Nirvana in cassette.
6. Name a band that you would like to share the stage or tour with?
Easy, Jakob!
7. Did the internet and specially the blogs helped to spread your music around the world? Name a place (country) that you were surprised to know your music has reached to?
This is a key point, and this interview is a paradigmatic example. The internet has broken down the borders of music, and has been a great impact on the growth of novel bands and underrated genres as post-rock. Bands can easily spread their music, independent blogs can write about it and fans can seek, listen and discover music that never would have discovered otherwise. On the other hand, is a priceless tool for networking between bands and fans, DIY touring and so on. So, yes, Astralia owes everything to the internet; thanks to internet our music has been able to reach all parts of the world, even some countries (in Asia or middle East, for instance) where internet is censored. But even so, they can finally make it. We often have greetings from those places.
8. Do you support the idea of bandcamp where fans can decide the price or services like Spotify?
Each tool works for certain things. Spotify is one of the big social networks, everyone use it, and so they have easy access and can include your music in their daily playlist. Definitely you are exposed to a larger audience. But, personally, I prefer bandcamp's idea where fans can directly support the bands they love. There is the possibility of free downloads or the nice "pay what you want" tool. Amazingly, many people even pay more than the minimum!; it's sort of like saying "we believe in you!". With a fan account you have your own collection, where you can share and follow others, write reviews, and so on. At the end, thanks to bandcamp we can finance part of our expenses as a band: editing, merch, touring... This is not possible by Spotify where, as an artist, you have even to pay for uploading music and you get almost nothing for streaming to compensate these expenses; as a user you are paying monthly and you don't even know where this money is going to...
9. Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?
Hopefully writing and touring in as many places as we can.
10. Is the artwork of an album important nowadays in the digital era?
Always has been, in my opinion. We like to think of an album as a whole, and of course the artwork is an important part. The artwork helps to frame the listening experience or give an starting point to the listener to build up its own story. On the other hand, the artwork becomes part of the band identity at the end, so it is something we like to care about.
11. What is you favorite album cover?
It's difficult to pick some artwork because it depends on genre and what the artist trying to depict. One of my favourite album covers is "Metanoia" by Porcupine Tree, and also Tool's "Lateralus", because they use some 3D images and it's really well done. But it's just to pick a few.
12. It seems that a lot of people are turning on vinyl again. Why do you think that is and which is your preferable media format?
Most of the people says that sounds better. Technically speaking, a CD has to sound better than a vinyl, but the analog sound from the vinyl is more harmonic and has more vibe than the CD. Of course it depends on the quality of your hi-fi equipment! Personally I think that is a matter of collecting unique pieces, unique records, and all the ritual involved in its unfolding, putting the needle, spinning, and give to the record all your attention; It's kind of romantic. A tradition that we should never have lost. We are happy that people turn on vinyl again. In this fast-food society the music made with love deserves to be heard with pause and attention.
13. What's the most vivid story or moment as a band?
We could say many but what we lived last may at Dunk!Festival#15 was simply amazing. Being part of this festival is the best experience any band can have; playing with all the bands that we love and admire, in front of the best audience. But, above all, there is something magical there, the good vibes with all the bands, the lovely organization, the great music, all the love from the fans...you feel like flying in a dream. We will never forget it.
