Metallers Defamed talk about latest single “Doves” and upcoming EP!

Any funny story to share from your recording or writing sessions? We could talk about Norman losing his cymbals and socks in the snow (RIP) when recording the “Circles” music video. Josh pulling a muscle in his butt on the first stomp of the “Doves” music video or Simone recording all vocal parts without shoes on to be “closer to the earth”. To make things more complicated, we recorded “Doves” just after Josh got operated on his hand for his severed tendon. Releasing something often means tour support. Do you guys already have some dates planned for the end of the year or 2021? We have a few planned, like our gig in Romania next year, we are very excited about that! It all depends on what will happen with the pandemic situation. We are trying our best to get as many dates lined up, and if everything is confirmed, it will be a fun year. We just need to wait and see.

Do you have any other projects in the making? Simone and Josh were thinking of starting a side project, but we think Defamed will be our main priority for the next few years. Josh is getting into sound design a lot, Norman has been a drum teacher and session drummer (and has a million bands). The last words are for you. If you have a message to convey, here’s your chance! We have two: the first one is BE KIND. It’s already a bad year. Everybody’s lives are changing rapidly, and we don’t really know what’s going to happen next, so don’t make it worse for the next person. The second one would be TAKE YOUR TIME. Whatever project or idea you have in mind, don’t rush it. Make a plan. Everyone has good ideas and thoughts that can be developed into something successful. Planning how to show the world your creation is just as important as the creation itself, so don’t rush anything and think it through. Thanks for your time!
