After a very successful European tour, we decided to take a break to rethink our creative direction, plan our next steps, and focus on writing new music. The songs came almost immediately, and in the end, we spent more than a year creating the album.<br\/>In fact, it was the first time in our career that we completely put all other activities on hold to focus exclusively on writing and recording new music. We made this decision quite deliberately because we wanted the album to feel like a cohesive work, both conceptually and sonically. Each song was meant to be part of the same story and the same musical world.    <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> Why did you choose the title \u201cGrey Hound,\u201d and what role does the theme of time play in the album\u2019s concept?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> When we started thinking about the concept for the album and our emotional state at the time, the first thing that came to mind was the color gray. Gray felt like the color of an uncertain future, the color of cold concrete.<br\/>As the concept evolved, we realized that the album needed a central figure\u2014someone whose perspective would guide listeners through the story. I\u2019ve long been fascinated by the idea of time as a healer of human souls. People often tell us that our songs help them get through difficult phases of their lives. In many ways, time does the same thing. It helps us heal and move on, even though we sometimes view it as an enemy<br\/>As this idea took shape, I began playing with words and searching for a title that would capture this notion of time in a metaphorical way. That\u2019s how the phrase \u201cGrey Hound\u201d came to me. On the one hand, it evokes a gray pursuer\u2014something that constantly chases us. On the other hand, it refers to the Greyhound, the fastest dog breed in the world. Just like time, it is both our faithful companion and something that is impossible to catch up with.         <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> How did the idea come about to turn \u201cGrey Hound\u201d into a cohesive concept album?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> These days, making an album is almost a luxury for musicians. In the age of TikTok and quickly released singles, deciding to make a full-length album is a bold move. But we felt ready for it. More importantly, we needed it creatively<br\/>\u201cGrey Hound\u201d is our fifth album, and we wanted it to be something special. It\u2019s an album meant to be experienced from start to finish. When listened to as a whole, it unfolds into an atmospheric and very cinematic story.<br\/>Visual storytelling has always been an integral part of The Hardkiss, and this album is no exception. We\u2019ve already released seven music videos related to \u201cGrey Hound,\u201d and they all follow the same concept. In these videos, you see a mysterious figure dressed in gray\u2014the embodiment of time itself, our \u201cGrey Hound.\u201d       <br\/>We deliberately left many clues, symbols, and unanswered questions in both the music and the visual elements. We wanted listeners to discover them, recognize the connections, and decipher the deeper layers of the story for themselves. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> Time is one of the central themes of the album. What does time mean to you personally? <br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> As a Ukrainian, I find much of what is happening to us today\u2014and, in a way, to the world around us\u2014absurd. It feels like a world without rules, without principles, and without justice. And when you truly grasp that, it hurts.<br\/>For me, time is one of the few things that helps put everything into the right perspective. It helps us process what\u2019s happening, accept the inevitable, and find the strength to move forward. It doesn\u2019t take the pain away, but it allows us to live with it. In many ways, this idea became one of the emotional foundations of \u201cGrey Hound.\u201d     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> How does the songwriting process usually work for The Hardkiss?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> Val and I wrote all the songs on the album. We both write demos, which we then develop further together. I think that\u2019s why you can still hear the two sides that have always defined The Hardkiss: the \u201cHard,\u201d which comes from Val, and the \u201cKiss,\u201d which comes from me.<br\/>The songs I bring to the table are usually more lyrical and dramatic (\u201cIntro,\u201d \u201cOutro,\u201d \u201cTake Me to the Start\u201d), while Val\u2019s songs are typically more energetic and driving (\u201cNice,\u201d \u201cI Love You,\u201d \u201cAi Ai Ai\u201d).<br\/>Once the idea for a song is fully developed and part of the arrangement is in place, we share it with the rest of the band and continue to develop it together. Then everyone brings their own unique touch to the music.<br\/>Our drummer Zhenya infuses the tracks with his character and energy, while Klym crafts the basslines and helps shape the songs\u2019 final sound.   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> What made working on \u201cGrey Hound\u201d different from your previous albums, and what was the creative process like for you?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> This album was a complete experiment for us. We\u2019ve never written music so quickly and yet so deliberately before. At the same time, it was a challenge because the entire band was living in different countries during the process, so a large part of the work had to be done remotely.<br\/>One of our main goals was to write songs that would come across powerfully on big festival stages. We knew we\u2019d be playing at major festivals this summer, and we wanted the new songs to have exactly that energy and scale. At the same time, we had our upcoming European tour in mind. That\u2019s why it was important to us that the songs not only work in the studio but also come alive on stage and connect with the audience.     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> The album artwork is impressive. How did the idea for it come about, and who is responsible for it? <br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> The idea to design the album cover ourselves came from Val. Within the band, he\u2019s not only responsible for the musical side, but also for the visual direction. He\u2019s directed all of our music videos.<br\/>He also has a background in the visual arts, so this kind of work really suits him. In fact, he painted the cover himself. The portrait was completed in just a few days, although he struggled with my eyes for a long time and repainted them several times until he was satisfied with the result.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Annabelle Reiter<\/p>\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll continue our interview shortly!<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Lineup:<\/strong><br\/>Julia Sanina \u2013 vocals<br\/>Valeriy &#8220;Val&#8221; Bebko \u2013 guitar<br\/>Klym Lysiuk \u2013 bass<br\/>Zhenya \u2013 drums<\/p>\n\n<p>Listen to <strong>The Hardkiss<\/strong> on our \u201cCurrent Issue\u201d playlist on Spotify:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/4jHJBBSbRZp2SNFeHoJMfA?si=692591a28ffc4283\" style=\"background-color:#07b710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To the &#8220;Current Issue&#8221; playlist<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:58px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Already subscribed to our newsletter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38308\" style=\"width:214px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-636x636.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/en\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscribe to our newsletter<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Choose your favorite CD as a subscription bonus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-28206b41 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orkus-shop.de\/c\/abo\/deutschland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscription premium<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our two-part interview, we talk with Julia Sanina of The Hardkiss about the new album \u201cGrey Hound,\u201d cold concrete, the concept of \u201ctime,\u201d and the changes she has witnessed over the band\u2019s 15-year history.
