INTERVIEW | DARK THOUGHTS

Dark Thoughts is in the office today, here to answer some questions. Be sure to check out their latest release ANGEL, now available on POM RECORDS!

Q: Welcome to the label Dark Thoughts! I know there was a few issues with the contract, which is why it wasn't officially announced when signed. BUTTTT.... now you're signed, on the label and on the site. How does it feel?

A: I'm very happy with everything! I feel happier now because people get to know more about us.

Q: You guys recently came out with your official big release on POM Records, ANGEL. Tell us more about it. What should new listeners expect?

A:  A magical but heavy album. It's a bit like TX2 because I tried to throw a lot of Emo stuff in it. There's also a lot of stuff like Angels singing. It's a super hard album.

Q: What if any were any changes or challenges on Angel from the previous releases?

A:  The previous album (Hurting Feelings) I just started and just let riffs run. Here I tried to make it more like riffs running through each other and use more rhythm riffs. I also tried to mix Prog Metal in by changing drum riffs all the time.

Q: Looking back at Hurting Feelings, which is what got POM Records attention, how do you feel about the fan reception? You guys put out a DELUXE version as well. Did it help motivate you guys to put out Angel? Seems like a lot of people liked what Dark Thoughts was putting out.

A: The fans wanted more Heavy stuff and more and the fans wanted more of Hurting Feelings but more pro. So that's why we released a Deluxe and fans wanted more Metalcore and more Heavy And we listened so we didn't really feel like it but ultimately we did because fans were mad that it was taking so long so we wanted to make our fans happy and we wanted to make ourselves happy!

Q: What's the music scene like in Europe? Are you guys going to tour in the States? Or anywhere else?

A: We now travel more to the Netherlands because we live there of course and people hear more about us. We are very popular in Friesland and Groningen and people in Sweden and Germany want us to Come there more often.

Q: What's next for the band?

A: Is big coming in the summer or fall. We're not going to say what yet but something REEEEEEELLL big is coming!

Q: What message would you like to leave for the fans, new and old?

A: Keep rocking to our music and chase your dreams. That's what I've managed to do as a drummer!- Bowen (Drummer)
