Z-MUSIC/LYRICKS/ARTWORK HAS TO BE IN TRANCE WITH THE VISION OF THE COMPOSERS OF THESE “GREAT WORK “ ,ITS LIKE A BOOK OR A MOVIE…SO THE TITLES MUST FIT THE FEELINGS WE HAVE FOR THE MUSIC PART, AND THE STORIES BEHIND THE LYRICS ,THE TITTLES OF OUR RELEASES WAS JUST THE WORDS THAT COULD SPEAK AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO OUR HEARTS….AND OUR AIM IS TO STICK THOSE WORDS INTO THE HEARTS AND SUBCONSCIOUS OF OUR AUDIENCE AND FANS ,ITS NOT OF ANY USE TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF OUR RELEASES ..SINCE I WILL NEED SO MUCH SPACE AND AFTER AL L..

Z- THE MUSIC IS DYING THE WAY WE KNEW IT SINCE NOW ,THE ONES THAT SAY ITS OK.. OR ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM ARE JUST STUPID DREAMERS AND HOME BOYS THAT ARE IN LOVE WITH THEIR SOFA…IF EVERYBODY IS DOWNLOADING ..LABELS WILL NOT SIGN ANY BANDS…SO EACH ONE OF US WORK WILL NOT BE DONE AND WILL NOT EITHER REACH ANY OTHERS PEOPLE HEART AND SOULS…WHAT IS PHYSICAL WILL TURN TO DIGITAL ALL THE WAY ..ARTWORK WILL BE LOS T ..LYRICS WILL BE VANISHED IF THERE IS NO MONEY FOR A BOOKLET… BUDGET FOR RECORDINGS AND PROMOTION WILL BE A DISTANT DREAM ..,NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS…SO THE CHOICE REMAINS UPON HYMANS ,IF THEY LOVE MUSIC THEY MUST KEEP BUYING…IF NOT THE END IS HERE TO STAY
28-If there was one thing you want people to know about your band what would that be?
