Interviews: Satura

On this new occasion, we had the opportunity to interview the Metalcore band Satura from Iran. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

We didn’t plan the band name beforehand. After writing a few songs, "Satura" was one of the names suggested to us. We found it intriguing and decided to go with it.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

This genre offers a comprehensive fusion of all metal subgenres without limitations. It allows blending elements from electronic to rap, from death metal to even pop, which makes it incredibly versatile and complete in our eyes. Another reason is its modern and ever-evolving nature, keeping it fresh and exciting.

No, we didn’t know each other beforehand. We connected through social media. Over time, the band members have changed multiple times.
