Review Fix chats with Drops of Heart’s Vadim Nizamov, who discusses the band’s origin, goals, creative process and goals for the future.
Review Fix: How did the band get together?
Vadim Nizamov: First of all, we played in other bands together before. Our Drummer Artem and I met each other and started to play together when we were in school. And Den, our vocalist, sang in a band where I was the bass player few years later. He offered Me the idea of resuming the activities of the once-dead band. The name was left the same, everything else completely changed, from line-up to all the components of music
Review Fix: What’s your creative process like?
Nizamov: Our band has two songwriters, and they are our guitarists – Myself and Igor. Our Music is written by several people very rarely, usually it is done separately. And Den writes lyrics with my help.
Review Fix: What’s your standout song? How was it written?
Nizamov: It’s called «Мой Май» (“My Mayâ€), and it was the first song we composed after the reunion in 2013 and released in 2014 as the first single of album «ÐÐ¾Ð²Ð°Ñ Ðадежда» («New Hope», 2014). It was like an experiment, a first experience within the new band. Amiazing, but Мой Май became the most popular song in our live concerts and remains so toda
Review Fix: What are your goals for 2017?
Nizamov: We just finished the work on the songwriting of a new album. And 2017 will be full of recording sessions, work on some details, and development of songs arrangements. We have a lot of work we have to do this year, so, we will not be bored.
Review Fix: How do you want your music to affect people?
Nizamov: We want our music to bring the ideas it carries, to inspire people and prove that people in Russia know how to play high-quality metal.
Review Fix: What’s next?
Nizamov: Our main goal is a strong, competitive album which will be able to take an honorable place in the world of heavy music
