Directly from Bulgaria arrives Dash The Effort. A young band that has a potent EP and they show the title of winners of the noted W.O.A, in their edition for Bulgaria. In these moments they are buried their next work that it should see the light for the spring of this year. On these details and many more I talked with Jo, their vocalist. By: Alejandro Pérez
Hello DTE and be welcome to this Cuba rock magazine! I´m very happy for this interview! Hello there! Thank you for the interest and for interviewing us! To start. When and were arises the band and who are their current members? Jo: The band is formed in 2011 when Georgi (our current guitarist) and Gio (ex member) begin to make music together. After a couple of years the band was fully formed and we released our first EP. The current members are: Georgi - guitar Atanas -bass Jo “Vortex”- vocals Yavor - drums. What are the main influences of the band? Jo: I would have to say that my main influences are bands like Parkway Drive, Breakdown of Sanity, Suicide silence etc. The lyrics I write are mainly influenced by the human nature, human impact on the world and many more topics.
“Polar Dawn” is your debut EP and I will like to say that the same is amazing and powerful work. How do you feel it whit the same? Jo: Thank you for the kind words! We put a lot of energy in the songs and 2 years after the release we still enjoy it ourselves and I think that for that time being we couldn’t have done any better. Of course now we discover more and more things we should have done but didn’t think of them at the moment, but we still put our emotions and inspiration in it, so that’s enough I guess. Let’s talk about “Polar Dawn”. How was the process of edition and recording? Jo: Actually the process was just like a normal starting band. It was recorded in our rehearsing room (the guitars) and almost everything was home-made. Only the vocal was recorded in studio. After that we sent the songs for mix and mastering in Greece where a friend of ours did the magic Hahaha. How many songs bring it? Any official video? Jo: The EP contains 5 songs: Redemption Dead so long ago Demons among us Borliness Dusk panacea The official video is to Redemption and it is the first video that we ever made. With the new album we are planning 2 more. How was received the same for the public and the specialized press? Jo: The time when we did our EP was a time when nothing much was happening. And in our genre specifically. I think that the EP was really nicely accepted by the fans and the media alike. We didn’t have so much metalcore bands as we do now, so it was a nice change for the metal scene.
Where the people can get this EP? In which formats are available? Jo: We have the EP uploaded on our Bandcamp profile. Other than that it can be found and listened to at our YouTube channel where everything is uploaded. We are planning to release it with the new album on Spotify, Itunes and every other platform in the spring of 2018 In 2015 you won the W.O.A Metal Battle Bulgaria. How did you feel when being winning in this festival? I think that to being an important festival, the quality of the bands should have been quite good. Could you mention some of the bands that participated in this competence? Do you think any time that you would win that competence? Jo: The feeling of being the first Bulgarian band to play at Wacken Open Air is really great. We had no words to describe what was happening to us and we were (and still are) very grateful for being given such an honor. There was a lot of pressure on us because we had to represent our country, so we had to practice a lot of course. There were a lot of great bands that participated in the Battles at the WOA. Bands like Materia, Walkways and Vesperia were amazing and they deserve more recognition for sure! In this same year DTE became in the first Bulgarian band to play in the W.O.A. How do you remember your participation in the W.O.A? How was the reaction of the public? How do you feel when the W.O.A finished? Jo: Like I said earlier it was amazing. The opportunity to play at such a big festival was really breathtaking and may I say life changing. It was a good wake up call to see and compare experience with other bands from other countries and see how the big festivals work. We learned a lot from there. The reaction of the public was also really nice! There were a lot of Bulgarians that were in the crowd that supported us, but apart from that there were a lot of foreign fans that enjoyed our music and this too was amazing for us. We came back from WOA with a lot to think about and a lot to change in ourselves as people and musicians. Let’s change. How is to be in a concert of Dash The Effort? How is the reaction of the public? Jo: All our concerts are filled with emotion and energy. Every show we strive to deliver our message in most rhythmic and energetic
way so the people can have a good time and get really hyped and positively charged! What you can tell us about the rock scene in Bulgaria? Quality of the festivals? Bands? Jo: There is no doubt that we have a lot of great bands here in Bulgaria. And not just in our genre, but in all metal music as well. We are a small country so we have smaller festivals, but the fans are really devoted and it’s always a pleasure to play for Bulgarian a Bulgarian crowd. In this moment you are focused in all related with your debut full-length album, which will be ready for the spring of 2018. Can you give some details about the same? Jo: Yes, we are currently finished with the preproduction of our debut album and we are going into recording in January 2018. All I can say for now is that the debut album will be a departure from what we did in “Polar Dawn” and it will show the band in much more mature and evolved light. The topics that we are talking about and the music is much more developed and serious. What we can wait of DTE for the New Year 2018? Jo: Well, hopefully our first album haha. Apart from that we are planning of shooting 2 videos for our album, and a nationwide tour in Bulgaria. After that we are planning on going on tour in Europe and after that who knows, maybe Cuba! Hahaha Well DTE, this is all. Thanks a lot for your time for this interview. I wish for you the best and good things. Any words that want to say to the Cuban and Bulgarian public. Jo: And thank you for the interview! It was a pleasure and an honor. What we can say to everyone is: Always strive and prosper and never give up even in the face of failure!
