Q: When you are composing music… Do you have something special that is inspiring you or you just doing it more like…. randomly? When I’m composing music, it tends to be somewhat random, but that’s when the things that have captured our subconscious attention start to surface. Personally, I’ve noticed some similarities in my riffwork…

Duncan Patterson on Phase
We read on your site as well on Phase’s, about the cooperation you had with the Greek band, on a song of theirs, entitled “Ibidem”. What do you think of their music? DP: The guys got in touch with me and asked if I wanted to be a guest on their album. So I asked…
On Phase’s Reach
Q: What impact did your debut have, in local and worldwide level? We are really satisfied by the response. Financially things are hard even for the bigger acts so we don’t even going to elaborate on that matter. When it comes to Greece, we’d prefer for things to have been a bit different . There…
On the Time Between Releases
Q: A lot of time has passed since “In Consequence” was released. What has transpired in these approximately 3 years? Life got in the way. The band became stronger, more mature, and we went through enormous difficulties but “the song remained the same”. Phase is an idea like Marios used to say. It’s something higher…
On Rock’s Motherland
Using the free distribution of the remarkable debut, “In Consequence” as an excuse, my ‘royal highness’, considered as fitly to communicate with Thanos Grigoriou of Phase, for a little general chit-chat, yet in an artistic and essential colour… Q: Good evening Thanos! Where do I find you? At the moment I am in the UK where…
Phase on Stage
After the great performances of Normah, Storrmbringer and Universe217, the time had auspiciously come for the headliners of the night Phase. A bit before they got on stage, I admit that I thought to myself: “There is no way that after the hopeful Normah (all-female band), the astonishing heavy metallers Storrmbringer and the mystic heavy/drone/dark rock-metallers…
on Freud and other “Authorities”
Q: […]That would be interesting…Have you ever based your songs around Freud’s theories on the three elements of personality–the id, the ego, and the superego? You must have stumbled upon our recent promo photo “3”. We’ve considered Freud‘s ideas some of which we find revolutionary. We tend to ponder a lot about ideas and go…
Poetry, Art and the Academic Approach
Q: I was just reading the lyrics to your song, ‘Sowing Scorn’ and I’ve noticed you write traditional poems that some use when it comes to writing in rhyme to help add musical elements to readings. Did you start out as a poet first before a musician? I actually started off writing parodies of songs as…
Lyrical Evolution
Q: In December of 2008, you did a few acoustic shows to celebrate “In Consequence” do you feel that your lyrics have matured since then and over the years? The lyrics obviously remain the same, when talking about the already finished songs, and the writting in general has not changed much. What hase changed and…
The Person and the Persona
Q: What’s the difference between the band’s members when on stage and backstage? Backstage after a gig? Definitely sweatier! (laughter) I can’t say that there’s any particular difference. Obviously, there can be a theatrical element on stage but I don’t feel we have any overblown persona that we exhibit on stage or in public and…
