今天采访到的是来自波兰的Doom/Death Metal with Metalcore influences乐队Wingless组建于2012年的Wingless乐队，由Grzegorz Luzar组建，2014年发行了第一张正式专辑“Hatred Is Purity”，2021年乐队和波兰本土厂牌Selfmadegod Records合作发行了他们的第四张正式专辑，真正开始让更多人关注这支乐队的是他们2024年在Selfmadegod Records发行的新专辑“Ascension”，这张作品依旧是一张经典的Doom / Death Metal作品，但是他们的作品完全拥有自己的特色，在保持着快速的节奏的同时还营造出Doom Metal的氛围感，当节奏处于中速的时候甚至还有一些Sludge Metal的元素，一些纯粹的Death Metal作品当中还可以感受到一些类似于荷兰早期Death Metal的乐队感觉，今年乐队在Selfmadegod Records发行了最新专辑“Vision Beyond Form”，这张专辑乐队也是首次以四人编制的阵容录制，也是新歌手Marcin Urbaś加入乐队的首张专辑，在新专辑发行之际杂志通过Selfmadegod Records的协助与乐队的创始人Grzegorz Luzar取得联系进行了一次专访！

Today, we feature an interview with Wingless, a band from Poland that blends Doom/Death Metal with Metalcore influences. Founded by Grzegorz Luzar in 2012, the band released their debut full-length album, *Hatred Is Purity*, in 2014. In 2021, they collaborated with the Polish label Selfmadegod Records to release their fourth studio album. However, it was their 2024 release—also via Selfmadegod Records—titled *Ascension*, that truly brought them wider attention. While firmly rooted in the classic Doom/Death Metal tradition, the band possesses a distinct style all their own; they manage to maintain a fast-paced rhythm while simultaneously cultivating a heavy, atmospheric Doom Metal vibe. At mid-tempo, the music even incorporates elements of Sludge Metal, and in some of the more straightforward Death Metal passages, one can detect a sonic quality reminiscent of early Dutch Death Metal bands. This year, the band released their latest album, *Vision Beyond Form*, again through Selfmadegod Records. This record marks the band’s first release as a four-piece ensemble and serves as the debut for their new vocalist, Marcin Urbaś. To mark the arrival of this new album, we reached out to the band’s founder, Grzegorz Luzar—with the assistance of Selfmadegod Records—for an exclusive interview!

V: 你好！很高兴见到你，非常感谢你接受这次采访。我想这应该是你们乐队第一次接受中国杂志的采访吧。首先向中国的乐迷们打个招呼，Wingless乐队是哪一年成立的？你们又是如何走到一起的呢？

Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you, and thank you very much for taking part in this interview. I believe this is the first time your band has been interviewed by a Chinese magazine. To start things off, could you please say hello to all your Chinese fans? In which year was the band Wingless formed, and how did you come together?

G: 大家好！我谨代表全队感谢你们提供这次采访机会。当然，我们也要向中国所有的乐迷致以问候。希望随着新专辑"Vision Beyond Form"的发布，我们的音乐能吸引到更多中国的金属乐迷。WINGLESS成立于2012年，地点在波兰的克拉科夫。我创立这支乐队的初衷是，在参与过当地其他几支乐队多年后，我觉得是时候去做一些完全属于我自己的音乐了。事实证明，这条路走对了——明年我们就要迎来成立 5周年纪念了。

Hell On behalf of the whole band, I’d like to thank you for giving us the chance to speak in this interview. Of course, we send our regards to all our fans in China, and we hope that with the release of our new album, "Vision Beyond Form", our music will appeal to even more metalheads in your country. WINGLESS was formed in 2012 in Kraków (Poland). I founded the band because, after several years of playing in other local bands, I decided it was high time to do something that was 100 per cent my own. As you can see, it’s worked out, as next year we’ll be celebrating our 15th anniversary.

V: Grzegorz Luzar你是目前乐队中唯一的创始成员，其他成员都已更替。当初创始成员们为何离开？新成员又是如何加入的？你对他们的表现满意吗？他们为乐队带来了哪些新的变化？

Grzegorz Luzar is now the only original member left in the band; all the other members have changed. Why did the original members leave? How did the new members join? Are you satisfied with their work? What new changes have they brought to the band?

G: 没错，我是乐队最初阵容中唯一留下来的人。过去几年里，由于各种原因，乐队阵容经历了几次变动。有时是因为成员需要优先顾及工作或家庭，无法再抽出时间积极参与乐队活动。我对此并无怨言，因为每个人都有选择的自由，可以根据自己的情况做出决定。在乐队历史上，我只有一次主动要求某位成员离开，那就是我们的第一任主唱——他曾参与录制了乐队的前三张专辑。遗憾的是，随着时间推移，他的言行举止以及对待乐队的态度表现出极度缺乏尊重，所以我决定让他离开。事实证明，这是一个非常正确的决定，它成为了我们职业生涯中一个决定性的转折点。多年来，作为团队的领导者，招募新乐手的工作一直由我负责。他们大多是我在他们参与其他乐队期间就已经结识的人。他们每个人都有——而且至今仍保持着——各自独特的风格，这意味着他们总能为乐队的音乐注入新的元素。我始终清楚自己需要什么样的人加入乐队，因此，人选绝非随意确定。只要某位乐手身处乐队之中并参与了后续专辑的录制，就足以说明我对他们的演奏风格非常满意。

That’s right, I’m the only member of the band who’s remained from the original line-up. Over the last few years, the line-up has changed several times for a variety of reasons. Sometimes someone prioritises work and family and can no longer find the time to play actively in the band. I don’t hold it against anyone, because everyone has free will and makes their own decisions as they see fit. Only once in the band’s history have I removed someone from the line-up. It was the first lead singer, who recorded the first three albums with us. Unfortunately, over time, his behaviour and attitude towards the band showed a total lack of respect, which is why I decided he should be removed. As it turned out, this was a very good decision, which led to a decisive turning point in our career. Over the years, as the leader, I’ve always been the one to recruit new musicians. Most often, these were people I already knew from their work in other bands. Each of them has always had – and still has – their own style, which automatically meant they added something new to the band’s sound. I’ve always known exactly what sort of people I need in the line-up, so they’ve never been chosen at random. The very fact that someone is in the line-up and recording further albums means that I’m happy with their playing style.

V: 你们乐队保持着每两到三年发行一张专辑的节奏，这显示出你们有着非常强劲的创作动力。能谈谈你们的创作过程吗？新专辑的制作进展顺利吗？

Your band maintains a pace of releasing an album every two or three years, which suggests a very strong creative drive. Could you tell us about your creative process? Is the work on the new album progressing smoothly?

G: 在乐队成立以来的十多年里，我从未遇到过缺乏创作灵感的问题。或许成功的秘诀在于，我在创作新作品时从不给自己施加任何压力。一切都是自然而然发生的，源于我内心对通过创作进行自我表达的持续需求。我享受弹奏吉他，也热爱与乐队伙伴们共同创作音乐的过程。既然创作过程一切顺遂，也就没有理由让后续专辑的发行间隔变长。如果将来某一天，我发现我们需要超过两到三年的时间来创作下一张专辑，那也无妨。但目前来看，这种情况尚未出现，所以我们正乐在其中，尽全力呈现出最棒的金属乐。在创作新作品时，通常不会遇到什么大问题。多年来，我们一直沿用一套行之有效的方法：在进入录音室之前，我们会先进行前期制作；在排练室反复排练，确保对作品驾轻就熟；之后才会进入录音室进行最终录制。这套流程沿用多年，目前看来没有必要做出任何改变。对我们而言，这套方式非常高效且便利。

Over the dozen or so years the band has been around, I’ve never had a problem with a lack of creative inspiration. Perhaps the secret to success in this regard is that I try to compose and write new material without any pressure. Everything comes naturally and is the result of a constant need for creative self-expression. I enjoy playing the guitar, and I love the process of creating music with my bandmates. Since there are no problems with the creative process, there’s no reason for subsequent albums to be released at longer intervals. If the time ever comes when I realise we need more than two or three years to create our next album, then so be it. For now, there’s no sign of that happening, so we’re enjoying playing and trying to deliver the best metal we can. Usually, there aren’t any major problems when creating new material. We’ve been working according to tried-and-tested methods for many years. We prepare pre-production, before we go into the studio; we rehearse everything in the rehearsal room to make sure we can handle the material without any problems, and only then do we go into the studio to record the final result. This system has been working for years, so I see no reason to change anything at the moment. In our case, it works very well and is very convenient.

V: 你们每一张专辑的录音品质都非常出色，且每一张都有明显的提升。你们是在哪些录音室进行录制的？由谁担任制作人？新专辑的录制过程进展顺利吗？

The recording quality of every one of your albums is outstanding, and each one shows clear improvement. Which studios did you use for the recordings, and who produced the albums? Is the recording process for the new album going smoothly?

G: 我始终致力于确保每一张新专辑的听感都能更上一层楼，并达到我们的预期。我一直非常关注录音制作环节。多年来，我始终密切关注着录音室制作流程相关的各类事项。从一开始，我就担任了我们录音作品的制作人。我的理念是：作为主要作曲者以及乐队发展方向的把控者，我最清楚作品最终应该呈现出怎样的听感。WINGLESS 并非由客座乐手拼凑而成的“人造产物”，也不是为了迎合一时潮流或满足音乐产业在特定时期的期待而打造的商品。在乐器录制方面，多年来我们一直固定与同一位录音师及同一间录音室合作。但在录制新专辑"Vision Beyond Form"时，我们决定做出一些调整：由Michał Pijocha在他自己的录音室负责鼓组录制、混音及母带制作；而我则在位于克拉科夫附近的Dominik Burzyma录音室完成了吉他和无品贝斯的录制。至于人声部分，Marcin是在他自己的家庭录音室完成录制的。这样他就能投入充足的时间，打磨出专辑中呈现出的那种令人惊艳的效果。由于这是我们首次尝试这种合作模式，起初我们并不确定一切是否会按计划进行。事实证明，我们的顾虑是多余的——整个过程完全按照既定计划顺利推进。唯一的小插曲是，最终混音阶段比原计划多花了一个月的时间。这是因为我们追求完美，而达到理想效果所需的时间超出了我们的预期。好在最终呈现出的效果令人振奋；鉴于这次尝试非常成功，我们毫无疑问会在下一次录音中继续沿用这种模式。

I always try to ensure that each new album sounds even better and meets our expectations. I always pay very close attention to the production of our recordings. For years, I’ve been keeping up to date with issues relating to the studio recording process. From the very beginning, I’ve taken on the role of producer for our recordings. My philosophy is that, as the main composer and the person setting the direction the band should take, I know best how it should all sound. WINGLESS is not an artificial creation made up of session musicians, designed to be a product for the moment or a response to the expectations of the music industry at any given time. As for the actual process of recording individual instrument tracks, for years we’ve been using the services of one person and one studio. With the recording of our new album, "Vision Beyond Form", we decided to make a few changes in this regard. Michał Pijocha handled the drum tracks, as well as the mixing and mastering, at his own studio, whilst I recorded the guitars and fretless bass at Dominik Burzyma’s studio, located near Kraków. As for the vocals, Marcin recorded them in his home studio, as this allowed him to devote as much time as he needed to achieve the stunning effect you can now hear on the album. As this was the first time we’d worked in this way, we weren’t sure at first whether everything would go to plan. As it turned out, our concerns were unfounded, as the whole process went exactly as planned. The only thing was that the final mix took us a month longer than we’d originally planned. This was because we wanted to achieve a perfect result, and getting there turned out to take a little longer than we’d anticipated. Fortunately, final result is electrifying, and there’s no doubt that we’ll repeat this approach for our next session, as it worked brilliantly for us.

V: 你们乐队的前三张专辑都是自行发行的，直到2021年才与来自你们国家的优秀厂牌Selfmadegod Records合作发行了一张专辑。你们是如何与他们建立联系并展开合作的？你们对他们的工作表现满意吗？

You chose to self-release your band's first three albums, only partnering with Selfmadegod Records an excellent label from your country for an album release in 2021. How did you connect and collaborate with them, and are you satisfied with their work?

G: 当我们录制完成第四张专辑"Nonconform"时，我意识到是时候找一家唱片厂牌来发行它了。我们坚信这张专辑质量过硬，对乐队而言也是一次突破——因此值得尝试去争取金属乐界那些严肃且受人尊敬的厂牌的关注。我联系了Selfmadegod厂牌的Karol，并让他听了其中一首曲目。我们进行了沟通，在听完整张专辑后，他表示有兴趣与我们合作。这张专辑反响极佳，收获了许多好评。它吸引了许多此前并未关注过WINGLESS的人。至于我们与Selfmadegod Records的合作，我认为堪称典范。一切都严格遵循双方的约定，合作非常顺畅。"Vision Beyond Form"已经是我们通过该厂牌发行的第三张专辑了，这足以印证我刚才所说的一切。每一张新专辑的推广工作都在不断进步，而且我们似乎也吸引了越来越多的乐迷来关注我们的音乐。顺便提一下，我希望现在能有更多的中国死亡金属乐迷发现WINGLESS。

When we finished recording "Nonconform" (our fourth album), I realised it was high time to look for a record label to release it. We were convinced that the album was good enough and, at that time, a breakthrough for us as a band – that it was worth trying to attract the interest of a serious and respected label on the metal scene. I got in touch with Karol from Selfmadegod and played him one of the tracks. We got in touch, and after listening to the whole album, he expressed an interest in working with us. The album was very well received and garnered a lot of positive reviews. It attracted the attention of many people who hadn’t previously taken notice of WINGLESS. As for our collaboration with Selfmadegod Rec. itself, I consider it exemplary. Everything is always in line with our mutual agreements, and I think it works very well. "Vision Beyond Form" is already our third album on this label, and I think that speaks volumes about what I’ve said. The promotion has been getting better with every album, and it seems to me that we’re attracting the attention of an ever-growing number of fans to our music. Incidentally, I hope that now more death metal fans in China will also discover WINGLESS.

V: 你们乐队的Logo设计得非常精美——是谁为你们创作的？你们专辑的艺术风格发生了显著变化；最近三张作品的视觉设计显然出自同一位艺术家之手。你们委托了哪位艺术家来负责这些设计？

Your band's logo is beautifully designed—who created it for you? There is a significant shift in the artistic style of your albums; the artwork for the last three releases clearly appears to be the work of the same artist. Which artist did you commission for these designs?

G: 非常感谢你的赞美。我也很喜欢我们的Logo。在它创作出来之前，我就明确希望它既要清晰、独具特色，又要兼具金属音乐的质感。这个标志的诞生背后有一个非常有趣的故事：它是由我们前任主唱 Xaay 设计的，他曾参与录制了我们的第四张和第五张专辑（"Nonconform"和"Ascension"）。Xaay本职是一位平面设计师；2012年我联系他时，并不知道他同时还是一位活跃的死亡金属主唱。他先拿出了一个设计方案，随后根据我的反馈进行了几次调整，最终定稿成了我们现在的标志。随着时间的推移，我们在私下里也变得熟络起来，发现彼此不仅有着共同的音乐品味，在日常生活的许多方面也有着相似的见解。多年来，他一直与乐队保持着非常紧密的关系。他不仅负责了我们第二张专辑封面的创作与设计，还策划了 WINGLESS 乐队的多次拍摄活动。我从未想过，多年后他会成为我们乐队的主唱，我们会一起录制两张出色的专辑，并为了推广这些作品而进行现场演出。至于我们最近四张专辑的封面，则是由Rafał Wechterowicz设计的。准确地说，他设计的不仅是最近三张，而是最近四张专辑的封面——他也绘制了我们第三张专辑"Triada"的封面。我一直很欣赏他的风格；我特别喜欢其中的“骷髅”元素，我想这正是促成我们合作的关键。此外，他的所有画作都是纯手绘的——我非常推崇这种具有“有机感”的艺术创作。他对于线条的运用以及对主题的刻画方式，令我惊叹不已。这一点在我们乐队的 T 恤上体现得尤为明显，大家可以清晰地看到每一个细节和每一根细微的线条，简直令人赞叹。他曾与Slayer、Mastodon、Behemoth、Machine Head 等乐队合作，也曾为Madonna和Lady Gaga创作过作品。我认为他的艺术风格与我们的音乐产生了完美的共鸣。能将他的画作呈现在我们的专辑封面上，我感到非常高兴。

Thank you very much for your kind words. I like our logo too. Above all, before it was created, I wanted it to be something that was clear and quite distinctive, whilst also having a metallic feel. There’s a very interesting story behind the creation of this logo, as it was designed by Xaay, our former vocalist, who recorded albums 4 and 5 with us ("Nonconform" and "Ascension"). Xaay is a graphic designer, and when I got in touch with him in 2012, I didn’t realise he was also active as a death metal vocalist. He prepared a design, then made a few adjustments based on my feedback, and that’s how we arrived at the final result – our logo. Over time, we also got to know each other on a personal level and it turned out that we share an interest in the same music and have similar views on many aspects of everyday life. Over the years, he’s been very close to the band. He created and designed the cover for our second album and organised many of WINGLESS’s photo shoots. I never imagined that, years later, he’d be standing behind the microphone in our band, that we’d record two brilliant albums together, and that we’d be playing gigs to promote them. As for the covers of our last four albums, they were designed by Rafał Wechterowicz. Rafał designed not the last three albums, but the last four. He also painted the cover for our third album, "Triada". I’ve always liked his style; I love the skull motif, and I think that’s what clinched it. Besides, everything he paints is done freehand. I really appreciate organic artwork. His linework and the way he depicts the subject matter are simply stunning to me. This is particularly evident on our T-shirts, where anyone can see every detail and every tiny line for themselves. It’s incredible. He’s worked with Slayer, Mastodon, Behemoth and Machine Head, amongst others, as well as with Madonna and Lady Gaga. I think his work resonates perfectly with our music. I’m really delighted that we have his artwork on the covers of our albums.

V: 你们音乐的主题是什么？你为什么选择这个主题？又希望通过它传达些什么？此外，这些歌曲的歌词也是由你创作的——你是如何构思这些歌词的？灵感又源自何处？

What is the theme of your music? Why did you choose this theme, and what do you wish to convey through it? You also wrote lyrics for the songs—who penned them, and what was the source of their inspiration?

G: 在歌词创作中，我主要探讨死亡、哲学、虚无、原力的黑暗面以及抑郁等主题。这些内容源于我个人的思考与经历，有时也会从文学作品中汲取灵感。我认为，这些主题与我们的音乐最为契合，两者相得益彰。我无法想象歌词会变成那种毫无精神内涵、琐碎而幼稚的故事。这一点对我而言至关重要，且绝不会改变。正如我之前提到的，自乐队成立以来，我一直担任主要作曲，因此所有的歌曲都出自我的手笔。在前四张专辑中，歌词是由我和当时的首任主唱共同创作的；而从"Nonconform"这张专辑开始，乐队所有的歌词便完全由我一人负责。我的灵感通常源于我内心的深处，以及多年来我所接触过的文学作品。

In my lyrics, I mainly explore themes related to death, philosophy, emptiness, the dark side of the Force and depression. I draw on my own thoughts and experiences, and sometimes I draw inspiration from literature. I believe that the themes I’ve mentioned are the best fit for our music and complement it perfectly. I cannot imagine the lyrics being silly little stories devoid of any spiritual element. This is a very important aspect for me and will certainly never change. As I mentioned earlier, I have been the main composer since the band’s inception, so all the songs are my own work. On the first four albums, I co-wrote the lyrics with our first lead singer at the time. Since the album "Nonconform", I have been solely responsible for all the band’s lyrics. Inspiration usually comes from the depths of my mind and from the literature I’ve encountered over the years.

V: 首先，祝贺你们发行了最新专辑"Vision Beyond Form"。你们的音乐融合了Doom Metal、Death Metal和Metalcore等风格；那种沉重、缓慢的氛围营造出一种压迫感，而Death Metal的狂暴与高速又带来了令人振奋的体验。再加上Metalcore所具备的那种硬朗质感，你们的音乐风格显得相当独特。你们自己是如何看待这部作品的？与之前的作品相比，这张新专辑有什么不同之处？

First of all, congratulations on the release of your latest album, "Vision Beyond Form". Your music blends styles like doom, death metal, and metalcore; the heavy, slow atmosphere creates a sense of oppression, yet the brutality and speed of death metal make for a truly exhilarating experience. Combined with the toughness of metalcore, your sound feels quite unique. What are your thoughts on your work? How does this new album compare to your previous releases?

G: 首先，我想澄清一点：我们从未将自己归类为金属核，也从未从中汲取灵感。我不明白为什么我们会与这种风格扯上关系。几年前，有人在“金属档案”网站上为我们创建了条目，并将我们的音乐贴上了“Metalcore”的标签——但在我看来，这完全是个误解。我们的音乐确实受到了Doom Metal和Death Metal的影响，这是事实。在最新专辑"Vision Beyond Form"中，厄运金属的元素确实有所减少，但这并非刻意为之，而是因为我们觉得音乐本该呈现出这种样貌。当你聆听这张专辑时，一定会注意到其中还巧妙地融入了Progressive Metal或Technical Death Metal的元素。不过，我们从不想给自己设限，也不愿被局限在某一种狭隘的音乐流派里。这就是我们对音乐的理解，也是最终呈现出的成果。至于与以往作品的比较，其实很简单：每一张新专辑既是自然的延续，同时也把水准又向上提升了一个台阶。我们力求让编曲更加有趣，确保其中包含独特的元素，最重要的是，要让听众听过之后印象深刻。我们还会尝试引入新元素，制造出一些惊喜感。我认为到目前为止，我们在这方面做得相当成功，也希望未来能继续保持这种状态。我们脑海中还有许多想法，在死亡金属以及我们自身的音乐探索上，我们还没把话说尽呢。

First of all, I’d like to clarify something. We’ve never identified with or drawn inspiration from metalcore music. I don’t know why we’re associated with that genre? I realise that someone on Metal Archive set up an account for us a few years ago and labelled our music as such, but in my opinion, that’s a mistake. Our music contains influences from doom and death metal, and that is a fact. On our latest album, "Vision Beyond Form", there are slightly fewer doom metal elements, but that’s simply how it turned out because that’s how we felt it should sound. When you listen to the album, you’ll certainly notice that we also subtly incorporate progressive elements or those associated with tech-death metal. However, we’ve never wanted to limit ourselves or confine ourselves to just one narrow genre. That’s how we feel about the music, and that’s the end result. As for comparisons with previous albums, it’s quite simple. Each new album is a natural continuation, but also raises the bar a notch higher. We try to make the compositions even more interesting, ensure they contain distinctive elements and, above all, that they stick in the listeners’ minds. We also try to introduce new elements to create an element of surprise. I think we’ve been quite successful at this so far, and I’d like that to stay the same. We still have plenty of ideas, and we haven’t had our final say when it comes to death metal and our music.

V: 作为一支资深乐队，你们参与过无数场现场演出；其中有哪些场次给你们留下了深刻的印象？当时现场的氛围又是怎样的？你们对 2026 年的现场演出有什么计划吗？

As a veteran band, you have performed countless live shows; which ones left a deep impression on you, and could you describe the atmosphere at the time? What live performances do you have planned for 2026?

G: 每一场演出对我们来说都很重要，也都留下了难忘的回忆。现阶段我不想特别指出哪一场，因为每一场都有其独特之处。通常，舞台前的氛围总是非常热烈，随着我们演奏的曲目增多，观众席中的能量也在不断积聚。我们总是力求编排出一份充满活力、绝不沉闷的歌单。这种方式效果总是很好，看得出来大家都很享受。在我们的现场视频（例如"The Ascension (after the light)"这首歌的视频）中，你可以看到观众们极其热情的反应——现场气氛火爆，观众们甚至差点把舞台前的护栏都给掀翻了。至于演出计划，我们在2026年年底之前暂无安排。我们想先看看新专辑的反响如何，以及发布后大家会有怎样的反馈。为"Vision Beyond Form"进行的宣传演出，最早也要到明年春天（2027 年）才会举行。我们也希望能参加一些音乐节，或许明年有机会实现。

Every concert is important to us, and each one leaves us with unforgettable memories. I wouldn’t want to single out any particular performance at this point, as each one was special in its own way. Usually, the atmosphere in front of the stage is electric, and as we play more songs, the energy amongst the audience builds. We always try to put together a set list that’s dynamic and never dull. It always works, and you can tell people enjoy it. You can see the audience’s enthusiastic reactions in our live video for the track "The Ascension (after the light)", amongst others. The crowd reacts very enthusiastically there and almost tears down the barriers at the front of the stage. As for our gig plans, we’re not planning any gigs until the end of 2026. We want to see how the new album is received and what the reactions will be following its release. Promotional gigs for “Vision Beyond Form” will take place next spring (2027) at the earliest. We’d also like to appear at a few festivals; perhaps we’ll manage that next year.

V: 你们是一支非常优秀的乐队，我会继续关注并支持你们。也希望这次访谈能让更多的中国乐迷发现并支持你们的音乐。在访谈结束之际，你们有什么想对中国乐迷说的吗？

You are an excellent band, and I will continue to follow and support you. I also hope this interview helps more Chinese fans discover and support your music. As we wrap up, is there anything you would like to say to your fans in China?

G: 非常感谢大家给予我们的一切支持！多亏了你们，我们才能与中国的重型音乐乐迷建立联系，对此我们感到无比高兴。欢迎大家去听听"Vision Beyond Form"，如果喜欢的话，欢迎在 Facebook或YouTube的评论区告诉我们。我们也希望大家能去听听我们之前的专辑，相信每个人都能从中找到自己喜欢的作品。现场演出见！！

Thank you very much for all the support you’ve given us. We’re absolutely delighted that, thanks to you, we’ve been able to reach fans of heavy music in China. Have a listen to “Vision Beyond Form” and let us know on Facebook or YouTube in the comments whether you like it. We’d also love for you to check out our previous albums.
