2.A few months back you had released a new ep, musically how does it differ from your past releases?

3.From 2008 to 2022 there was no new music being released, can you tell us a little bit more about what was going on during that time frame?
Eosphorus: We played some shows during this period, we created some songs but we didn't get to release them, in 2020 we decided to focus more on recording new material.

Eosphorus: I have been interested in various spiritual e magickal paths, in the last 20 years I have read many books, and applied it in my daily life, in my spiritual development.

7.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

Eosphorus: We don't have any dates scheduled for this year, but there is a possibility that we will play some shows in 2023.

10.Currently the band is unsigned but has worked with a label in the past, are you open to working with another label again in the future?
