Listen them here :-



Vishal - "What are you doing nowadays?"
Luis
- "Currently we're making all of the preparations in order to hit the stage and do it the right way. It is taking a bit of time but it'll be worth it when it happens."

Vishal - "Can i get the story of your band and biography? What is the meaning of We The Equinox means to the band?"
Luis
- "We all knew each other from previous bands and when we got together it was an instant click. We The Equinox stems from the feeling that we all had at the time that we were turning over a new leaf, a turning point, if you look up what the EQUINOX is it makes more sense."

Vishal - "What are the lyrical themes you use in your song?gore, horror, politics, anti religion etc.."
Luis
-"We all write lyrics collectively. Our lyrics are centered around life experiences we've had and what they've taught us. Acknowledging the bad in the world but focusing on the good."

Vishal - "How it feels to be in a Underground band? And for how many years you are in this scene?"
Luis
- "Aggressive music will always be more of an outcast in the music scene but it makes for a closer community so in that sense we don't mind. We've all been in the scene for years but this band is fairly young. Under a year."

Vishal - "Which are the bands that have influenced your band most?:
Luis
- "Influences come from a lot of different genres and bands but if I were to pick a few it would be Veil of Maya, Born of Osiris, Within the Ruins, etc."

Vishal - "What are the future plans of We The Equinox ? any tours, releases, recordings etc."
Luis
- "We're releasing our debut self titled demo this Friday the 14th. After that we'll be focusing on hitting the stage and making an impact in our local scene."


Vishal - "What is your opinion on sites posting Underground Materials?"
Luis
- "I think sites like this are a huge medium for bands to reach people they wouldn't have otherwise. For any band trying to get their music heard and name out there sites that really care about the community and music are super important."

Vishal - "How do you feel about the classifications in metal? like deathcore, metalcore and other subgenres.."
Luis
- "Those classifications help when trying to explain a certain sound or influence to others but they tend to divide people way too much. Good music is good music regardless."

Vishal - "In general term metal isn't appreciated by Society what do you have to say on this?"
Luis
- "It is an outcast genre. Though people will recognize talent and passion regardless of what the label is. That is, if they're open minded."

Vishal - "Ok, what do you want to tell those peoples who rips off the band hard work and illegally downloads their music?"
Luis
- "It really does hurt the band. Bands try to reach certain financial goals in order to continue to provide the best material for their fans. So stop."

Vishal - "Beside We The Equinox do you have any other projects you have? If then, Can you tell us about those projects in few words?"
Luis
- "Our bassist, Allen Barkley, is in another band as well. Dethrone the Sovereign. They're killing it!"

Vishal - "Is it hard surviving in underground Scene?"
Luis
- "People complain that there is not much of a scene and so the hopes for their bands are low but if there is no scene, make one! Hard work is always rewarded."

Vishal - "Metal has to be underground or metal has to go mainstream, what's your opinion?"
Luis
- "That's the beauty about the genre as a whole. There is metal that is underground and some that is mainstream. It doesn't have to be one or the other."

Vishal - "What is your opinion on the current state of underground metal?"
Luis
- "There is a lot of talent in the underground scene. A lot of bands are tearing it up. Music lovers will actually take the time to dig through and find those bands."

Vishal - "Which is the album you want to take to your grave?"
Luis
- "Tough question, I've been diggin this album a lot lately Hollow Crown by Architects. A perfect blend of great musicianship and hooks/melodies. Every member is a master of their instrument. I can't speak for the whole band though."

Vishal - "Can you recommend us some good bands from your country for our readers?"
Luis
- "I've gotta pick our brothers from Dethrone the Sovereign. You've probably heard of every other major band from here.


Vishal - "Support Underground Metal, how much you agree on this quote?"
Luis
- "Agree whole heartedly! Bands need a good fanbase to succeed! We can't do it without you!"

Vishal - Where do our readers can buy and listen We The Equinox and any other merchandise?"
Luis
- "You can download our demo from wetheequinox.bandcamp.com, iTunes, Spotify, etc. For physical copies of our demo and upcoming shirts you can visit wetheequinox.bigcartel.com.

Vishal - "Do you remember your first show with We The Equinox, How was it and how did the crowd reacted to your first show?"
Luis
- "Haha we haven't played a show yet. We're working towards that but putting in the preparation has already given us a solid fanbase to work with when we're ready to hit the stage."

Vishal - "Metal Fans from Nepal doesn't have a proper way to reach your records and any other such bands, Is there an easy way so we can also get the hold of cds, shirts etc."
Luis
- "All our merchindise will be posted on wetheequinox.bigcartel.com and for downloads of our music visit wetheequinox.bandcamp.com, iTunes, Spotify, etc."

Vishal - "Do you have any plans to come to Kathmandu (Nepal) in coming days?"
Luis
- "Maybe in the future, who knows where this will take us."

Vishal - "What do you hate in Underground Metal?like, anything.."
Luis
- "I wouln't say I hate it but there's too much division between the different groups of people with certain genres. Just get along! Appreciate good music! Simple as that."

Vishal - "Your dream metal fest line up."
Luis
