The band comments:
"The themes of the songs on EP are not the easiest to grasp, but they are extremely important! I have always wanted to write about my own experiences and the things happening around me, especially the negative things and mental struggles. It's kind of therapeutic to get the words down on paper first and then shout these themes out as loud as I can, maybe that's my way of dealing with difficult things.

The process itself was very exciting. We did the recordings ourselves for the first time and got the necessary equipment for it. It wasn't the easiest way to do it, but we're happy with the result. There is always room for improvement, and that drives us forward. We want to learn new things and get better at these things too. Most of the actual recording was done by our guitarist Joni, and we owe him a big thank you for his time, effort, and perseverance in the name of "creativity."

Next, we will focus on gigging, as long as we are blessed with gigs, and on writing new songs. Our goal is to make a whole album, which we also intend to record ourselves. The schedule is not rushed, so don't hold your breath just yet. Making the EP was a great process, we got what we wanted out of it and learned a lot through the process!"

BIOGRAPHY:

The band found its current identity through shared musical tastes, playing together, and a shared hobby. We are a group of people who enjoy making and playing music that works for all of us. A big part of this is that composing, writing lyrics, and editing songs is open to everyone. All songs and compositions are created by the whole group, not based on one person's vision or goal.

Our influences definitely come from older metal, but that doesn't matter, because mixing genres actually adds a lot to our music; there's no one right way to do things. Krushor's goal is to make music that sounds good and at the same time talk about the difficult things that are part of life. For many people, music can be therapeutic, and if even one person feels that way about our music, we feel we have succeeded.
