（V: 代表笔者 S: 代表Smeták）

Meaning “to fade away fast”, yet their roar resonates eternally. Hailing from the Czech Republic, old-school death metal force Be Fading Fast delivers their third full-length record Phobophobia after a fifteen-year hiatus. An outstanding old-school death metal cut that packs no less punch than their early material, the band makes this long-awaited, legendary return. Be Fading Fast has evolved greatly over these fifteen years of silence. Lineup shifts and life hardships have failed to erase this band from the underground scene. Today, Volcano Magazine connects with this Czech old-school death metal legend, and we dive straight into the soundworld of Be Fading Fast.

V: 大家好！很高兴见到你们，非常感谢你们接受这次采访。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，你们想对中国的乐迷们打个招呼吗？Be Fading Fast成立于2006年，是一支资历深厚的老牌乐队了！当初你们是怎么走到一起的呢？

Hello guys, it’s great to meet you, and thank you so 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, would you like to say hello to all your Chinese fans? Be Fading Fast was formed back in 2006—you’re quite a long-standing, veteran band! How did the band first come together?

S: 向中国杂志的读者们，以及所有热爱极端音乐的朋友们问好！首先，感谢你们邀请我们接受采访，让我们有机会向中国的金属乐圈介绍Be Fading Fast。如果没记错的话，这确实是我们第一次接受中国杂志的采访，我们对此深表感谢。

我们在2006年夏天组建了Be Fading Fast，当时我们刚离开了死亡碾核乐队Deflorace。最初的阵容包括吉他手Pablo和Pavel、贝斯手Dodan，以及担任鼓手的我Smeták。那年秋天，我们开始集中创作最初的几首作品，同时也一直在寻找主唱。最终，Masters加入了我们，补齐了阵容。2007年底，我们录制了首张宣传作品"Spill the Hate"，这是我们共同努力的第一个实质性成果，也开启了乐队的新篇章。

回首往事，二十年的时光在我们生命中占据了很大一部分。虽然这些年来发生了很多变化，但我们对演奏死亡金属的热情始终未减。

Hello to all the magazine readers and fans of extreme music in China! First of all, we'd like to thank you for inviting us to this interview and giving us the opportunity to introduce Be Fading Fast to the Chinese metal scene. If we remember correctly, this really is our first interview for a Chinese magazine, and we really appreciate it.

We formed Be Fading Fast in the summer of 2006 after leaving the deathgrind band Deflorace. The original lineup consisted of Pablo and Pavel on guitars, Dodan on bass, and myself, Smeták, on drums. In the autumn, we started working intensively on our first songs while also looking for a vocalist. Eventually, Masters joined us and completed the lineup. At the end of 2007, we recorded our first promo, Spill the Hate, which was the first tangible result of our work together and also a starting point for the next chapter of the band.

Looking back, twenty years is a big part of our lives. A lot has changed over the years, but our passion for playing death metal is still there.

V: 目前，乐队最初的成员中只剩下Pavel和Dodan了，其他成员都已更替。当初的成员为何离开？新成员又是如何加入的？你们对他们的贡献感到满意吗？新成员的加入又为乐队带来了哪些改变呢？

Currently, only Pavel and Dodan remain from the original lineup of your band; all other members have been replaced. Why did the original members leave? How did the new members join, and are you satisfied with their contributions? What changes have the new members brought to the band?

S: 我们最初的成员中，目前还有两人留在Be Fading Fast，那就是Dodan和我（Pavel），虽然大家更习惯叫我Smeták。Masters在乐队刚成立不久后就加入了，所以我们也把他视为我们早期历史的一部分。在过去的二十年里，我们的阵容自然经历了几次更迭。一些成员因个人生活或工作重心而离开，另一些则选择了各自的音乐道路。寻找新成员并非易事，尤其是要找到那些在音乐理念和个人性格上都能合得来的人。身处一支乐队，不仅要求成员具备出色的演奏技巧，还需要大家能够通力合作、学会妥协，并拥有共同创作的动力。

每一位曾加入过Be Fading Fast的乐手，都为乐队留下了自己的印记。新成员的加入也带来了全新的灵感，为我们的音乐注入了不同的视角。与此同时，我们从未为了改变而改变，也从未盲目追随潮流。虽然我们音乐的根基始终如一，但在歌曲创作和编曲方式上，我们一直在不断演进。

当前的阵容让我们能够充分汲取过往所有的经验。每位成员都为乐队贡献了独特的个人特质；尽管我们有着不同的音乐背景，却能默契配合，推动我们的音乐不断向前发展。相信大家在"PHOBOPHOBIA"这张作品中能够感受到这一点。最重要的是，我们依然享受在一起演奏的乐趣——在二十年后的今天，这或许比什么都重要。

Two of us from the original lineup are still in Be Fading Fast: Dodan and myself, Pavel, although most people know me as Smeták. Masters joined us shortly after the band was formed, so we also consider him part of our earliest history.

Over the past twenty years, we've naturally been through several lineup changes. Some members left because of personal or work priorities, while others decided to follow their own musical path. Finding new musicians wasn't always easy, especially people we could get along with both musically and personally. Being in a band isn't just about playing your instrument well. You also need to be able to work together, make compromises, and have the motivation to create something as a team.

Every musician who has been part of Be Fading Fast has left their mark on the band. New members have also brought fresh ideas and slightly different perspectives on our music. At the same time, we've never tried to change our style just for the sake of it or follow current trends. The foundation of our music has remained the same, but our approach to songwriting and arrangements has gradually evolved.

Our current lineup allows us to make full use of all these experiences. Everyone brings something of their own to the band, and even though we come from different musical backgrounds, we're able to work well together and keep moving our music forward. We think you can hear that on PHOBOPHOBIA. And most importantly, we still enjoy playing together, which after twenty years might be more important than anything else.

V: 作为一支资深乐队，你们的每位成员此前都参与过其他音乐项目，你们都是拥有丰富创作经验的音乐人。能否跟我们分享一下你们的创作过程？相信你们的经验一定会给许多年轻音乐人带来启发！在时隔多年之后，你们发行了第三张完整录音室专辑；这张新专辑的创作过程是怎样的呢？

As a veteran band, each of your members has been part of other musical projects—you are all musicians with a wealth of creative experience. Could you walk us through your creative process? I’m sure your experience will serve as an inspiration to many younger musicians! You have released your third full-length album after a gap of many years; how did the creative process for this new album unfold?

S: 这些年来，我们意识到音乐创作并没有什么通用的公式。对我们而言，创作通常始于一个吉他Riff或某个音乐灵感，随后逐渐演变成更完整的作品。有时，各个部分能很快地契合在一起；而另一些时候，我们需要花大量时间去打磨合适的节奏、过渡段落或整体结构。当然，也有一些起初看起来很棒的构思，最终却不得不被搁置一旁。

当然，过去二十年间，我们的工作方式也发生了变化。早年间，我们大部分的创作都是在排练室里完成的，主要依靠大家即兴演奏并凭记忆留存灵感。如今，得益于家庭录音和音乐构思的在线分享，我们能更轻松地提前准备素材。这确实节省了时间，但有一点是科技无法取代的，只有当我们聚在一起共同演奏时，才能真正判断一首歌是否行得通。

"PHOBOPHOBIA"这张专辑的诞生过程相当特殊。它受到了多种因素的影响，包括乐队长期的停滞、成员更迭、疫情以及健康问题。因此，这并非那种“把自己关在排练室里几个月，然后直接拿出一张成品专辑”的连贯创作过程。我们不断地回顾这些素材，反复修改其中的部分，最终一点一滴地拼凑出了整张专辑。

如果非要给年轻音乐人什么建议的话，那大概就是：不要害怕改变自己的想法，甚至要敢于彻底舍弃某些构思。最重要的是，千万别忘了聚在一起共同演奏。即便是在家里录制出色的作品，也不一定意味着它在排练室或舞台上也能同样出彩。

Over the years, we've learned that there's no universal formula for writing music. For us, it usually starts with a guitar riff or a musical idea that gradually develops into something more. Sometimes the different parts fall into place almost immediately, while other times we spend a lot of time finding the right tempo, transitions, or overall song structure. And sometimes, something that seemed promising at first ends up being put aside.

Of course, the way we work has also changed over the past twenty years. In the early days, we worked most things out directly in the rehearsal room, relying mainly on what we played together and could remember. Today, home recordings and sharing musical ideas make it much easier to prepare material in advance. It saves us time, but there's one thing technology can't replace. Only when we play a song together do we really know if it works.

PHOBOPHOBIA came together under rather unusual circumstances. Its development was affected by a long break in the band's activities, lineup changes, the pandemic, and health issues. So it wasn't a continuous process where we locked ourselves in the rehearsal room for a few months and came out with a finished album. We kept coming back to the material, making changes to some parts, and gradually putting the whole album together.

If we were to give younger musicians any advice, it would probably be not to be afraid to change their ideas or even throw some of them away completely. And above all, not to forget to play together. Even the best home recording doesn't necessarily mean a song will work just as well in the rehearsal room or on stage.

V: 你们历张专辑的制作水准都非常出色，尤其是今年发行的这张新作。你们是在哪家录音室录制的？制作人又是谁？新专辑的录制过程顺利吗？

The production quality on all of your albums is outstanding—especially on this year’s new release. Which studio did you record at, and who was the producer? Did the recording process for the new album go smoothly?

S: 感谢夸奖！我们一直非常重视录音的音质，每一张新专辑，我们都力求在制作上更进一步。2024年7月，我们在位于捷克布泽内茨的Shaark录音室录制了"PHOBOPHOBIA"。Pavel Hlavica负责了整个制作流程，涵盖了从录音到最终混音及母带制作的各个环节。我们之前就曾与他合作过，因此他非常了解我们的音乐风格，也清楚我们想要呈现什么样的音色。

录音工作分成了几次进行。我们先录制了鼓组，接着是吉他、贝斯、吉他独奏，最后是Masters的人声部分。整个过程非常轻松，没有那种不必要的紧迫感。我们希望留出充裕的时间来打磨细节，绝不仓促行事。

在混音阶段，我们也采取了类似的方式。我们制作了几个不同的版本，在每次审听之间留出间隔，以便能以全新的听感重新审视作品，提出反馈意见，并与Pavel一起进行后续调整。有时，我们还会邀请几位朋友试听，听听那些不像我们这样对这些素材“耳熟能详”的人会有什么看法。总计经过了大约四轮调整，我们最终得到了令自己满意的成品。

Thanks for the compliment! The sound of our recordings has always been important to us, and with each album we've tried to take things a little further. We recorded PHOBOPHOBIA in July 2024 at Shaark Recording Studio in Bzenec, where Pavel Hlavica took care of the entire process, from recording to the final mix and mastering. We'd already worked with him in the past, so he knew our music well and understood what kind of sound we were looking for.

The recording took place over several studio sessions. We started with the drums, followed by guitars, bass, guitar solos, and finally Masters' vocals. The whole process was relaxed, without any unnecessary time pressure. We wanted to have enough time to focus on the details and not rush anything.

We took a similar approach to the mixing process. We went through several working versions, taking some time between listening sessions to come back to them with fresh ears, give our feedback, and make further adjustments together with Pavel. Occasionally, we also let a few friends listen to the recordings to get opinions from people who hadn't spent as much time with the material as we had. Altogether, we went through about four rounds of adjustments before reaching a result we were happy with.

V: 你们乐队曾两次“解散”，分别是在2012年和2019年。是什么导致了这些“解散”？又是什么让乐队重新聚到了一起？

Your band broke up twice—once in 2012 and again in 2019. What led to those breakups, and what brought the band back together?

S: 其实情况稍微有些不同。我们从未正式解散过“Be Fading Fast”，尽管乐队确实经历过一段不活跃的时期。最长的一次停滞始于2012年底，这主要与Masters的健康问题有关。我们曾尝试找过另一位主唱继续合作，但感觉总是不对，于是最终决定让乐队暂时搁置。

但这并不意味着我们停止了音乐创作。Be Fading Fast的其余成员组建了一个名为“All Stars United”的项目，专门翻唱歌曲。因此，我们始终没有脱离音乐，彼此之间也一直保持着联系。Be Fading Fast只是暂时退居幕后了。

2016年底，我们开始考虑重整旗鼓。起初只是口头商量，后来真的重新聚在了一起。Masters 康复了，而且我们发现，其实谁也没有真正放弃过Be Fading Fast。于是，从2017年开始，我们逐渐恢复了合奏。此后的过程也并非一帆风顺，但重要的是，我们又重新开始共同创作了。

后来到了2019年，阵容变动和健康问题接踵而至，一次次拖慢了我们的计划。有一段时间，乐队里几乎只剩下Masters和我了，但我们还是决定坚持下去。我们逐步重建了阵容，并将重心放在了筹备第三张专辑上。随后，疫情又带来了新的阻碍，因此，通往"PHOBOPHOBIA"这张专辑的道路，比我们最初预想的要漫长得多。

Actually, things were a little different. We never officially broke up Be Fading Fast, although there were periods when the band wasn't active. The longest break started at the end of 2012 and was mainly related to Masters' health problems. We tried to carry on with another vocalist for a while, but it just didn't feel right, so we eventually put the band on hold.

That didn't mean we stopped playing music, though. The remaining members of Be Fading Fast formed a project called All Stars United, where we played cover songs. So we stayed involved in music and kept in touch with each other. Be Fading Fast was just on the sidelines for a while.

Towards the end of 2016, we started thinking about giving it another try. At first, we just talked about it, and eventually we got together again. Masters had recovered, and it turned out that none of us had really given up on Be Fading Fast. So in 2017, we gradually started playing together again. Things weren't completely straightforward after that either, but what mattered was that we had started creating something together again.

Then 2019 brought more lineup changes and health issues, which repeatedly slowed down our plans. At one point, Masters and I were practically the only two members left, but we decided to carry on. We gradually rebuilt the lineup and focused on preparing our third album. Later, the pandemic added another complication, so the road to PHOBOPHOBIA ended up being much longer than we had originally expected.

V: 你们乐队曾与美国（Creates）和波兰（Mad Lion Records）的厂牌合作发行过专辑。据我所知，捷克本土也有许多优秀的厂牌，为什么你们没有选择与捷克当地的厂牌合作呢？另外，你们对这两家厂牌的工作表现满意吗？你们的新专辑目前仅以数字形式发行，有没有考虑过推出 CD版本？你们是否已经联系过唱片公司了？

Your band has released albums in collaboration with labels based in the U.S. (Creates) and Poland (Mad Lion Records). I happen to know that there are many excellent labels in the Czech Republic itself—why didn’t you choose to work with a Czech label? And are you satisfied with the work these two labels have done? Your new album has only been released digitally so far—have you considered putting out a CD version? Have you reached out to any record labels yet?

首先，我想做个小小的澄清。Cre@tes Production其实是一个捷克项目方，我们在“Be Fading Fast”乐队早期阶段曾与他们合作，主要涉及乐队的宣传及其他相关活动。

我们与波兰厂牌Mad Lion Records的合作，源于我们当时的演出活动、现场演出以及我们逐渐积累起来的人脉。这让我们有机会将音乐带给更多的听众，于是我们抓住了这个机会。这并非因为我们刻意回避与捷克本土厂牌合作，纯粹是因为当时恰好有了与波兰厂牌合作的契机。

对于"PHOBOPHOBIA"这张专辑，我们选择了数字发行，目前它已在各大音乐平台和流媒体服务上线。此外，我们还准备了一些宣传用的CD-R副本，供感兴趣的朋友获取。现阶段，我们暂无计划去接洽唱片公司，也没有发行正式压制版CD的打算。

First of all, just a small clarification. Cre@tes Production was actually a Czech project that we worked with in the early days of Be Fading Fast, mainly on promotion and other activities related to the band.

Our cooperation with the Polish label Mad Lion Records came about through our activities at the time, live shows, and contacts we had gradually built up. It was an opportunity to bring our music to more listeners, and we took it. It wasn't that we wanted to avoid working with Czech labels. We simply had an opportunity to work with a label in Poland at that time.

For PHOBOPHOBIA, we chose a digital release, and the album is now available on the major music and streaming platforms. We also have promo CD-R copies available for anyone interested. At the moment, we're not planning to approach any record labels or release a professionally pressed CD.

V: 你们乐队的标志设计非常简洁，我个人最喜欢这种风格，因为它让乐队名称变得非常容易记忆。这个标志是谁设计的？你们的专辑封面设计也非常精美，这是由谁负责的呢？

Your band’s logo has a very simple design—which, personally, is the style I like best, as it makes your band’s name very easy to remember. Who designed the logo for you? Your album artwork is also beautifully designed; who was responsible for that?

S: 谢谢夸奖！我们的标志是Dodan设计的。它在乐队成立初期就创作出来了，我们一直沿用至今。它简洁、易读，我们从未觉得有必要对其进行重大改动。

我们所有专辑的视觉设计都出自捷克艺术家Roman Kýbus之手，我们从一开始就与他合作。我们通常会先提出一个想法或概念，然后共同探讨、打磨，最终完成设计。Roman拥有独特的艺术风格，这与我们非常契合，也十分贴合我们的音乐。经过这么多年的合作，我们彼此非常了解，合作起来感觉十分自然。

Thanks for the compliment! Our logo was designed by Dodan. It was created back in the early days of the band, and we've been using it ever since. It's simple, easy to read, and we've never had a reason to make any major changes to it.

The artwork for all our albums was created by Czech artist Roman Kýbus, who we've worked with from the very beginning. We usually come up with an idea or concept, which we then develop together, gradually working towards the final design. Roman has his own distinctive artistic style, which suits us and fits our music well. After all these years, we also know what to expect from each other, so working together feels very natural.

V: “战争”与“悲伤”是你们音乐的核心主题。为什么选择这些主题？你们希望通过它们表达什么？此外，你们的作品中也包含歌词——这些歌词是谁创作的？灵感又来自哪里？

"War" and "grief" are the central themes of your music. Why did you choose these themes, and what do you aim to express through them? You also incorporate lyrics into your work—who writes them, and what serves as the inspiration?

S: 战争与苦难确实出现在我们的歌词中，但这绝非我们探讨的唯一主题。我们的歌词主要取材于生活以及我们所处的世界。它们探讨了人性弱点、社会的阴暗面、政治、恐惧，以及人们内心的冲突。有时，我们也会从恐怖电影或文学作品中汲取灵感。

我们对“战争”的理解不仅限于武装冲突；它也可以象征我们在日常生活中与各种问题、不公，或是我们自身“心魔”的抗争。因此，这些主题未必非要从字面意义上去解读；我们可以在歌词中以更广阔的视角去探讨它们。

我们的歌词全部由 Masters 创作。他的灵感来源于周遭发生的事件、人类行为、他个人的思考，以及那些能引起他共鸣的艺术作品。有时，他会在音乐创作完成之前就写好歌词，随后再根据歌曲进行调整。有时，歌词是在歌曲已具雏形之后才创作出来的。无论哪种情况，他在创作时都享有充分的自由，我们也尊重他的表达方式。

War and suffering are themes that appear in our lyrics, but they're definitely not the only subjects we deal with. Our lyrics are mainly inspired by life and the world around us. They explore human weaknesses, the darker sides of society, politics, fear, and people's inner conflicts. Sometimes we also draw inspiration from horror movies or literature.

We don't see war only as an armed conflict. It can also represent the everyday struggle with problems, injustice, or our own demons. So these themes don't always have to be taken literally. We can also explore them in our lyrics from a broader perspective.

Masters writes all our lyrics. He finds inspiration in events around him, human behaviour, his own thoughts, and art that speaks to him. Sometimes he has the lyrics ready before the music is written and later adjusts them to fit the song. Other times, the lyrics come together only after the song has taken shape. Either way, he has complete freedom when it comes to writing, and we respect his way of expressing himself.

V: 首先，祝贺你们在多年之后终于发行了第三张全长专辑！你们的作品融合了老派死亡金属、激流金属和硬核的元素，带来了强劲的听觉冲击——风格凶猛、凌厉，不仅有紧凑的吉他Riffs和经典的歌曲结构，还有精彩绝伦的吉他独奏。鼓手和主唱的表现也都非常出色。你们自己对这张新作品有什么看法？与之前的作品相比，这张专辑又有哪些不同之处呢？

First of all, congratulations on the release of your third full-length album after all these years! Your work blends elements of old-school death metal, thrash, and hardcore, delivering a powerful sonic impact—it’s fierce, vicious, and features tight riffs, classic song structures, and brilliant guitar solos. The performances from both the drummer and the vocalist are truly outstanding. What are your own thoughts on this new material? And how does this album compare to your previous releases?

S: 感谢你们的认可！我们非常高兴能遇到那些认真聆听我们音乐的朋友，他们不仅能欣赏到每位乐手的个人表现，也能感受到我们作为一个整体所呈现出的音乐魅力。

"PHOBOPHOBIA"在许多方面都与我们之前的专辑有所不同。这一次，我们更加注重录音的最终呈现效果。这不仅关乎歌曲本身以及我们的演奏方式，还涉及乐器之间的配合、音色表现以及整体的平衡感。这也是它与上一张专辑"GLOBAL ATTACK"相比最大的区别之一。在音乐性上，这张新专辑旋律感更强，风格也更加多样，但它依然保持了“Be Fading Fast”一贯的内核。

从一开始，我们就对最终成果感到非常满意，这种感觉至今未变。"PHOBOPHOBIA"是一张我们自己也会反复回听的专辑。我们认为，我们成功地将音乐构思与我们想要呈现的音色完美融合在了一起。这是一张我们引以为傲的作品。

Thanks for the recognition! We always appreciate it when someone listens closely to our music and can appreciate not only the individual musicians, but also the band as a whole.

PHOBOPHOBIA is different from our previous albums in many ways. This time, we paid much more attention to the final sound of the recording. It wasn't just about the songs themselves and how we played them, but also about how well the instruments worked together, their sound, and the overall balance. That's where we see one of the biggest differences compared to GLOBAL ATTACK. Musically, the new album is also more melodic and varied, but it's still Be Fading Fast.

We were happy with the result from the very beginning, and that feeling hasn't changed. PHOBOPHOBIA is an album we enjoy coming back to and listening to ourselves. We think we managed to bring together our musical ideas and the sound we wanted to achieve. It's an album we stand behind.

V: 作为一支资深乐队，你们参加过许多音乐节。其中有哪些给你们留下了深刻的印象？能否描述一下当时现场的氛围？另外，你们计划在 2026 年参加哪些音乐节的演出呢？

As a long-established band, you’ve performed at numerous music festivals. Which ones have left a lasting impression on you, and could you describe the atmosphere at those events? Also, which music festivals are you planning to play at in 2026?

S: 在过去的二十年里，我们经历过许多令人难忘的演出。比如在波兰的那一场，演出过程中观众席里爆发了冲突，而我们当时依然坚持完成了演奏。还有在维也纳的那次，那里的观众极其热情，现场氛围至今仍让我们记忆犹新，回想起来依然倍感美好。像这样的故事，我们还能讲出很多。

对我们而言，是在大型音乐节还是在小型俱乐部演出，其实并没有太大区别。每一场演出都至关重要，因为我们是为那些特地来看我们的人而演奏。无论台下是几十人还是几百人，我们总是会倾尽全力。

至于2026年，由于乐队成员的健康问题，我们的现场演出计划受到了一些影响。因此，在无法确保一定能成行的情况下，我们不愿提前做出任何演出承诺。不过，我们希望能尽快重返舞台，并有更多机会与乐迷们面对面交流。

Over the past twenty years, we've played plenty of gigs we'll never forget. Like one in Poland, where a fight broke out among people in the audience during our set, and we just kept playing while it was going on. Or in Vienna, where we were surprised by an absolutely fantastic crowd and an atmosphere we still remember fondly today. And we could tell you plenty more stories like these.

For us, though, it doesn't really matter whether we're playing a big festival or a small club. Every gig matters because we're playing for the people who came to see us. Whether there are a few dozen or a few hundred people in front of the stage, we always try to give it everything we've got.

As for 2026, our live plans were affected by health issues involving one of our band members. That's why we didn't want to promise any shows in advance unless we were sure we'd be able to play them. But we hope to be back on stage soon and have more opportunities to meet our fans in person.

V: 你们每个人都受到过不同乐队的影响——能列举一些你们最喜欢的乐队吗？

You have all been influenced by various bands—could you name some of your favorites?

S: 我们每个人的音乐背景和经历各不相同。我们接触过多种风格，从经典摇滚到激流金属、厄运金属、黑金属以及死亡金属。当然，我们听的音乐也不局限于金属乐。这种多样性在一定程度上也影响了我们自己的音乐创作。

如果要列举一些曾影响过我们或者至今仍常听的乐队，名单里肯定少不了Slayer、Death、Morbid Angel、Vader、Deicide、Kreator、Napalm Death和Dream Theater。而且这个名单还可以列得很长。我们每个人给出的名单都会有所不同，毕竟要一一列出多年来曾对我们产生过影响的所有乐队，几乎是不可能的。

给中国乐迷的寄语:

最后，感谢大家让我们有机会向中国的金属乐迷介绍Be Fading Fast。我们很高兴看到我们的音乐能够传到捷克共和国以外的地方，被更多的听众所聆听。如果这是你们第一次通过这篇访谈了解到我们，欢迎去听听我们的音乐，并告诉我们你们的感受。此外，也要感谢GlobMetal Promotions的支持，帮助我们将音乐带给更多的听众。谁知道呢，说不定哪天我们还能在演出场合碰面呢！

Be Fading Fast

Each of us has slightly different musical roots and experiences. We've been through various styles, from classic rock to thrash, doom, black metal, and death metal. And of course, we don't listen to metal exclusively. This diversity also influences our own music to some extent.

If we were to name some of the bands that have influenced us or that we still enjoy listening to, the list would definitely include Slayer, Death, Morbid Angel, Vader, Deicide, Kreator, Napalm Death, and Dream Theater. And we could go on for quite a while. Each of us would come up with a slightly different list, and it's practically impossible to name every band that has influenced us in some way over the years.

Closing message to Chinese fans:

Finally, we'd like to thank you for the opportunity to introduce Be Fading Fast to Chinese metal fans. We're glad that our music is finding listeners far beyond the borders of the Czech Republic. If you've discovered us for the first time through this interview, we'd be happy if you checked out our music and let us know what you think. We'd also like to thank GlobMetal Promotions for their support in helping us reach new listeners. And who knows, maybe one day we'll even meet at a gig!
