Interviews: Diminium

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Atmospheric Metal/Groove Metal band Diminium from Ukraine. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

Dimi Rich: In the beginning, I planned to name it Giganium, but an old friend of mine suggested using the part of my name, so I changed it to Diminium.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

Dimi: It just came out of me like it is. I just started to play riffs and everything came out the way I heard it. So I think it's just my vision of the music I create.

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

Dimi: Well, most of the musicians involved in these records are my good friends 

4. Each band member's favorite band?

Dimi: Actually, I'm a big fan of Sonata Arctica and Zeal and Ardor and Devin Townsend!

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Dimi: The things that surround me in daily life, basically. And nature to some extent. I love to have a good walk or travel before diving into recording or writing! 

6. Where was your last gig?

Dimi: Oh, that was a long time ago, before COVID shit happened...

7. Where would you like to act?
