We are incredibly lucky to live in a time that allowed us to start this band
and to create this album the way we wanted. With no compromises.
This is our first record, but we've been together for four years.
So we know each other very well.
That's why we knew how we want to do this record.
The reason why I think it works is because
all of us are best friends and we have the same vision.
Songwriting is very exhausting sometimes.
You have to go through all the depressive memories and stuff you hold inside.
But once you get it out of yourself, you create something new.
Something uniqe that has a bit of yourself in it.
And then you feel relieved.
Some songs are finished immediately, like in one day.
Sometimes it takes several months, because it's quite harsh process.
We need to argue what to keep in the song, what to feel from it.
What we can influence now is the music to be the best it can.
So we focus on composing the album to make it the best we can
so people would feel something from it.
Now I can't predict what's going to be next. But I'm looking forward to it.
After the release we will continue with what we're doing now.
Playing shows, working hard, creating new songs. That will never stop.
Getting our music to as many ears as we can. That's the absolute goal.
For me, Exit Empire means walking the path I've chosen myself.
Where I'm in control.
For me it means a new life with no mask.
When I was producing demos for my previous bands,
I was wondering what makes the professional releases sound so good?
How can we achieve that too?
Thanks to the Internet we can learn directly from producers like Joey Sturgis
Deadmou5, Hans Zimmer, Eyal Levi, Jesse Cannon...
But even the best sound is worthless if the song itself isn't good enough.
If it doesn't contain the right emotions.
When writing a song I think about communication. What story will be there?
How will it resonate with people?
Whether they listen to it at home or at a show.
And I think about what elements can I put there so they would sing it back.
When I heard the mixes the guys made for the first time,
I immediately told them that's exactly how it should sound.
I wasn't expecting it to sound that good if we do it ourselves.
Considering our conditions.
On one hand, the production is very technical. But on the other hand,
you can get very creative with it. That's why we produce us ourselves.
This way we possess complete control over our sound.
Only we decide how our recordings should sound.
I love music that contains strong emotions, grandiosity, epic parts.
That's what I enjoy. At the same time, I like intimacy, some relatable topic.
That's how we make our songs - for people like us.
This record we're creating with Exit Empire is not just a rock record for me.
It's something much more. We used so many different elements in there,
whether from film scores, electronic music, house, pop, whatever.
But we used it solely to deepen the dynamics of every song.
And to support its emotions. On the contrary, we got rid
of everything that shouldn't be there.
The ultimate goal of this album is to put a bit of ourselves in there.
To put there our own experiences we lived while composing.
I believe people will hear it there
and when listening for the fiftieth time, they'll still hear something new there.
We've released four singles so far, the album is coming out this year.
I hope people will hear it there.
And I can't wait for them to hear it.
