From: Germany
1. What's new with Receiving Echoes?
Right now, we are about to release a new song. The mix & mastering should be ready soon so that we can release it before summer break. We’ve finished recording a new band video for this song. Here too, the video still needs to be edit. I think the release will be after the summer break. In general, we are working on new songs. We will be in the studio for this from September. We have new awesome material.
2. What's the word on new music?
We want to adjust our style a bit and make it a little more modern. We'll see :-)
3. How does the writing process go with the band?
As I said, we’re working on new songs for the studio from September. We will record six new songs. I think we are taking new paths and trying to present ourselves in a new and better way.
4. What have you been listening to lately?
Oh, that’s not so easy to say. We all have different musical tastes in the band. There is a wide range of music from Old School Metal, Party music, Hip Hop and Electro music to Deathcore.
5. Do you have any pre-show rituals before performing?
Nothing special, really. We retreat backstage together before the show and get ready. Before we go on stage, we share a team hug and energize each other.
6. What's one thing you'd change about the local music scene?
The local music scene has grown significantly, boasting some truly great bands and musicians. Unfortunately, there is a lack of opportunities here to play live in clubs and at festivals. Sadly, the relatively few available slots are dominated by just a small segment of the scene. A large number of excellent bands struggle to secure even 10 to 12 gigs a year. It’s a real shame. Of course, any band can release music on streaming platforms and try to get noticed—but everyone is doing that. Ultimately, the only bands that really advance are those with strong backing from the industry. That’s why it would be fantastic to have more live performance opportunities for smaller bands within the scene. It would also be great if more lesser-known bands were booked as support acts for live concerts.
7. What's your favorite show that you've played and why?
I think it was two years ago at the Wisdome Tooth Festival. It’s a small open-air festival in southern Germany—about 2,500 people. We played on the Baby Stage, and the crowd didn't know us. People were pretty skeptical during our intro, which was very heavy on the electronic elements. But once we kicked into a massive breakdown, things went absolutely wild. The crowd went crazy—for the whole show. It was awesome.
8. Any plans for any music videos?
Yes, we shot a video for a new song last month. It is currently being edited. I hope we can release the video after the summer break.
9. What do you wish to accomplish for the rest of the year?
We’ll head into the studio after the summer break to record new songs. In the meantime, we’ll play a few smaller shows. However, our goal is to have the new tracks fully recorded by the end of the year so we can really tear it up with them starting in January 2027.
