LULLACRY interviewed: We are still very much alive!

Tero Tolkki of Metal From Finland interviewed Lullacry-members Sami and Tanja. During the interview we discovered the reasons for their hiatus and also how things look in the future. Below couple of excerpts

"After your Vol 4-album Lullacry sort of disappeared out of the blue. Was it because of this hassle with the label that made you kinda disappear?

Sami: Yes it was loud and clear at least from my part. I putted everything on hold and didn’t do any Lullacry stuff for a year. Well I did started doing some songs after a couple of months cause it is what I do best so when I feel empty or otherwise crappy, I write songs. Escapism maybe. Escape from reality to this mystical world where I just combine sounds in different order and that way create something incredibly beatiful yet very ugly and mean…or incredible horseshit haha! I also started composing songs to my other band R.O.C.K and that was a very therapeutic process and it gave me belief on my writing skills…so the journey continues.

Some years ago you made some shows in US and other places as well. Is your main target still outside of Finland or are you happy with the success you have here?

Tanja: Hell no it’s not enough what we have here in Finland hahhaa We want more

Sami: Of course the main target for Lullacry is outside of Finland. Of course the realities in life put some boundaries on these things. Nowadays we couldn’t pack the van and hit the road for 2 months just like that. Especially with all expenses payed by the band. But all those US tours and other gigs and festivals outside of Finland were the ones that left us the greatest memories. I am not saying it’s not fun to do shows in Finland. We have excellent memories from Tuska where we played 3 years in a row, Nummirock etc."
