The band comments: “The classic approach of working in the studio implies recording all the instruments separately, which always gives a flawless picture of the band. Whereas live albums capture all peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of the band’s chemistry onstage – they are always fresh and alive, because they are the expression of ‘nowness’. That is exactly what we wanted to capture and demonstrate with ‘Youniversal Voice’ – what vibes and atmosphere Ethereal Riffian can create in a concert hall when functioning as a single organism. In my opinion live albums are a lot like Sumiye’s works (Japanese painters).”
“When Samiye draws a line – it’s perfect as it is, because he catches things alive. When it’s accomplished Samiye’s pictures are the reality itself, complete in itself, not a copy of something else. The brush must run over the paper swiftly, boldly, fully, and irrevocably just the like work of creation when the universe came into being. Things are beautiful where they are inevitable, that is, when they are free exhibitions of a spirit.” Quotes from the selected writings of D.T. Suzuki

I began my writing career in the year of 2012 due to my love for the metal community, and have since moved onto a second role as the Tech-Wiz of PoM - taking good care of our website. My favourite music genres are Progressive Metal in all its different shapes and Melodic Death Metal.
