Well Multan is a very odd place for doing a work like this how can u manage ?
Furqan: well ur wrong. Multan has many talented underground bands and artists but, there are no opportunities or places where the artists can sit relax jam or whatever to record their songs.I know a lot of studio stuff so,no problems for us till now.

Rehan: Furqan is cent percent right.No one is thinking to come forward and do something for Multan.IF someone do they dont develop the music scene here but,plan to move to bigger cities like Lahore & Karachi.So we though atleast someone has to walk the beginning step and why not us?

Usman: Rehan is my cousin i wouldn't have been here if he hadn't called me for the vocals i was too thinking about starting something in Multan but,these guys were too fast they did it before me and now im with them.

How it all started ?
Furqan : well im involved in music from about my childhood.I just wanna make a difference and luckily i got the chance and i grabbed the opportunty.lemme tell u from the start.Well,Rehan and i am classfellows and good old pals for 3 years.Both of us had high aims for doing something in music from the start.So,we never thought that we are only teens under 18 but kept full confidence in ourselves and composed some music and usually ended up in a band.

Rehan : I and Furqan were classfellows and when Furqan came to know that i know guitars he invited me for a band and i agreed thats it.Then the vocalist problem came Furqan was good although but somethin was missin therefore i introduced my first cousin to Furqan. Furqan took some days to make the decision and finally allowed Usman into the band.

Usman : Furqan is a really good person and even my cousin from whose suggestion i made a way into the band.I was all a typical bathroom singer but,never thought that i would be the heartbeat of a band.

Metal music isnt listened commonly by Paki ppl What do u think can u attract them towards it?
Furqan: well ill answer that one.NOTHING is impossible if you do it with full heart and confidence.By the way you should know the style and tactics to pull the audience towards you eventhough MIZRAAB,EP,BLACK WARRANT & OVERDRIVE are doing the same thing and they are successful to some extent.

How has your experience with Pakistan media been so far?
Furqan : i have a lot of contacts so,its good so far.In Multan u have no opportunities but,we are trying our best.
Rehan : hmmmmmmm ! 50 50 but, there is no one to help you out there.
Usman : I dont know, i just do my work its Furqan's job to deal with it.

Any plans for a video ?
Yeah ! but not so fast first we'll improve us with other things and inshallah by the end of 2005 or in the early 2006 well be releasing our video.
