The rising stars of extreme metal, Argorok, are back with their new EP, \u201cOmen.\u201d We spoke with the band in our two-part interview. <\/p>\n\n

Stay on top of things<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u201cYou have to keep moving,\u201d explained Bill Thiele, the bassist and founder of the Dresden-based quintet Argorok, when asked about the timing of the EP\u2019s release. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t want to make our fans wait too long for new material. Nothing is worse than having to wait three or four years for a band\u2019s new songs.\u201d But there\u2019s another, less pleasant reason, as he goes on to explain: \u201cThe music scene has changed dramatically in recent years due to streaming and social media. At the same time, this brings many opportunities, because it\u2019s never been easier to release music than it is now. Unfortunately, though, this also makes things difficult for a young band. Given how fast-paced things are today, it\u2019s not easy to stay on people\u2019s radar if you haven\u2019t released anything new for years. And we definitely want our music to reach people. So, in the end, we decided to release a short EP this time, and we actually had a lot of fun with the quick production process. But that doesn\u2019t mean we won\u2019t be releasing full-length albums in the future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
