30-What are your views on the current state of this Electro / Gothic / Industrial HELLEKTRO - TERROR EBM - HARSH EBM- AGGROTEK scene in Spanje.in terms of creativity and audiences? And the scene in other countries?
looks too poser who is only interested in the visual appearance of the scene. In Spain hardly any bands and very little response from the audience, probably tend more to appreciate what from outside rather than what they already have, although exceptions are always great that are worthwhile
31- you have very nice numbers` tell me about lyrical compositions what you can tell about the done work? How does your music creation process work? How do you create a song?
Most points in dealing with philosophy, misanthropy, terror, war,religion ... is our way of working them extremely complex to comment In short jajaja

we like ebm branded terrorists if we are not much given to labels,our influences are very wide, we like very much experience and include such things traditional in the genre
33-Since the music industry is more open now to purely electronic music has this made things easier for you?
the truth is that not many people do not understand that is the EBM, in Spain is very minority people who listen to electronica and it looks very aggressive for them like the music you are very aggressive email jajaja
34-So what are their main influences as a band at the moment?
everything around us influences us in some way vasamos us in our own
experiences and moods and try to express to composition mode
35-What is currently inspiring your material as an artist? tell me all about the Electro / Gothic / Industrial HELLEKTRO - TERROR EBM - HARSH EBM- AGGROTEK scene of Spanje?
we live in one of the smaller cities of Spain and here there is nothing like a scene from nothing, we are the only band in our city ebm ... and we're a bit disconnected from what happens in big cities, although there very little movement in general.
36-Do you think that people from the music press didn't expect you to grow up musically?
if, in our city we have no support by any means, now we are one of the bands with more trallectoria in our city and we are known in only she.
37-what is the key to making music from Vondage and what inspires you to keep growing as a musician?
I suppose the music itself, every day you learn something new to try to put in practice, I suppose that our own evolution as musicians is what pushes us to continue. that and people you like our work
38-How do you see the future of download / Copyright in area of goth-Electro / Gothic / Industrial HELLEKTRO - TERROR EBM - HARSH EBM- AGGROTEK music ? What are the best ways to develop it in your mind ?
I do not see it very clearly, Vondage is a band that barely has the means, being of the
Spain's smallest town is more difficult we can hope to compete with bands large cities, here we have many opportunities and few means unfoldment project but we do not surrender soon and hope to edit the album and everything goes well for more material to edit
