What can we expect from your new album? Can you define your music for people who have never heard you in order to entice them to buy your album or go to your gig?

Hauptmann D: I would say the music is dark and hard industrial rock wrapped in catching melodies. Our shows are very intensive and kind of disturbing with strange sexual feeling. It can terrify and turn you on at the same time.

Cold Cold Grodnu was fund in 2001. Now, 9 years later you released your debut album. What do you feel after it? And why we had to wait 9 years for your first album?

HD: Actually Cold Cold Ground was founded in 2004. I started the project in 2001 by doing some demo tapes to convince musicians to join the band. The band became Cold Cold Ground after the bass player NooZ and the guitar player Mr. Bunny joined the band in 2004. The reason why it took so long to build up the debut album was that we simply had to find our way to express ourselves through Cold Cold Ground. We hardly were satisfied almost anything we did for the first few years. We wanted the band look and sound like Cold Cold Ground and it took time.

Why did you decide to play this kind of music? What was your inspiration?

How do you form all of your songs? Does anybody just write the lyrics while jamming the song gets to life or how do you do that?

HD: Basically me and Mr. Bunny make songs at our own in our darkest moments and then we bring them to rehearsal room where the whole band brings them alive. Everyone in Cold Cold Ground has something to give up for every song.

What do you like the most in creating music?

HD: Making a song is a trip into the darkest places in my mind. I like to visit there but don't wish to stay there permanently, it easily gets a bit too scary place to stay. I like it though. I also like the feeling that comes after making a song many solid days going nowhere with it, but suddenly there comes up an idea that solves the whole song and gives it a totally new direction. But to answer to the question, I would say the most I like when I'm finished with a song and bring it to rehearsal room where the whole band brings it alive, then sometimes I notice that, wow, there was something in the song that I couldn't see myself and the guys in the band made it a lot better song.
