Cartographs - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Melodic Hardcore band Cartographs from Denmark, so here you can see and give a like to his FACEBOOK PAGE. We have nothing more to say, so enjoy this interview!

1.Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

It represents our way to write music, a Cartographer must be very precise in his drawings of maps, the same goes for us. We love going into detail and thinking every song and lyric through to make sure it represents our emotions and goal with the particular song we a writing.

2.Why did you want to play this genre?

It's a genre where you're able to do a lot of different things and the music can be very moving and it can touch your soul even though it is considered metal/hardcore and most people wouldnt connect that to delicate emotions and soul moving lyrics and melodies. You can really send a powerful message with this kind of music if the listener is in fact willing to listen.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Frederik, Caspar and Oliver used to play in melodic-tech-hardcore band. Due to certain creative diffenreces that band split up and Cartographs was formed.
