AzhiRock | August 28/29 | DiliRock Main Stage

❔ Where, and under what absurd circumstances, did the band come together?
▫️In Tehran, Iran, back in 2001, when metal music was forbidden and playing it was considered a crime.

❔ Who came up with the band’s name, and why didn’t anyone stop them?
▫️It was the vocalist Bobby’s idea. The name combines two Farsi words and means “a scream of pain.”

❔ Tell us one fact about the band that sounds made up but is actually true.
▫️The band members have been arrested several times for playing music.

❔ What beer—or any other drink—absolutely has to be in your hand during your DiliRock set?
▫️We don’t give a s**t — any big-ass beer will do!

❔ Shashlik in lavash or shawarma? Explain your choice.
▫️Shashlik in lavash, because we love meat.

❔ If your music were food, what would it be?
▫️A medium-rare steak. 🥩

❔ If your band ever gets banned, what will it be for?
▫️Anti-religious views.

❔ What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever brought to a concert?
▫️Me.

❔ What phrase is most often heard five minutes before you go on stage?
▫️“You guys are gonna kick some ass!”

❔ What’s the most ridiculous reason for cancelling a concert you can come up with?
▫️Explosive diarrhea.

❔ What question are you asked so often that you feel like charging money to answer it?
▫️“Why would you choose metal music?”

❔ Who in the band is most likely to survive the longest after the apocalypse, and why?
▫️Rodney, because he has already survived one apocalypse.

❔ If you could steal one musician from any band, who would it be?
▫️Joey Jordison, if he were still alive — or Fieldy from KoЯn.

❔ What rumor about your band would you love to start?
▫️That we come from a mental hospital every time we perform, and after every show, we go straight back there.

❔ If you had to perform in just one place for the rest of your life, where would it be?
▫️Knotfest, if a festival counts. Or Las Vegas, if it has to be a place.

Sasha Sans | 29 августа | DiliRock Experimental Stage

Sasha Sans — техно- и экспериментальный артист. Модульные синтезаторы и аппаратное оборудование превращаются в текстуры и напряжение, в постоянно развивающиеся и мутирующие паттерны, сосредоточенные на ощущении потока.

Звуковой профиль: сюрреалистичный, племенной, ритуальный, церемониальный.

EisFjord EisFjord | August 30 | DiliRock Main Stage

❔ Who came up with the band’s name, and why didn’t anyone stop them?
▫️There were plenty of objections — the name definitely wasn’t born in five minutes. We went through dozens of options, trying to find a word that would sound the way our music does.
We wanted to combine northern restraint, a sense of ice, air, and open space with what we ourselves feel in our songs. That’s how EisFjord appeared: Eis means “ice” in German, and fjord is Scandinavian.

❔ Which famous musicians or bands inspire you?
▫️The power and riffs of Rammstein, the emotional depth of Radiohead, Björk’s strangeness, the electronic aesthetics of Depeche Mode, and the atmosphere of Massive Attack. We’re interested in finding our own sound at the intersection of rock, ambient, and electronic music.

❔ What’s the vocalist’s favorite jam? This is important.
▫️Himbeermarmelade. Yes, specifically in German.

❔ Tell us one fact about the band that sounds made up but is actually true.
▫️We create our music using custom guitars designed and built by hand by our guitarist, while the vocalist paints them, turning each instrument into a unique work of art.

❔ What beer—or any other drink—absolutely has to be in your hand during your DiliRock set?
▫️Johannisbeerschorle — provided, of course, that you can pronounce it to the festival bartender.

❔ If your music were food, what would it be?
▫️Steak with wild berries and truffle ash.

❔ If your band ever gets banned, what will it be for?
▫️For exceeding the permitted concentration of air and space between the notes. Experts still can’t explain how it got in there.

❔ What are the chances your drummer disappears before the festival is over?
▫️Disappear? No. Get lost behind the drum kit? Entirely possible.

mothkitten mothkitten | August 29 | DiliRock Main Stage

❔ Where, and under what absurd circumstances, did the band come together?
▫️The band came together at our place. Sasha, as everyone already knows, is the kitten, and I became the moth — and that’s how our mothkitten was born! Then Sasha ran out of hands, so we invited our friend Damir to play guitar. Now we’re the moth, the kitten, and Damir :)

❔ What’s the vocalist’s favorite jam? This is important.
▫️Blueberry or rose petal jam.

❔ Tell us one fact about the band that sounds made up but is actually true.
▫️Maybe the fact that just a couple of years ago, I was absolutely terrified of singing.

❔ What beer—or any other drink—absolutely has to be in your hand during your DiliRock set?
▫️Hmm... an espresso tonic. But if you want a beer at 11 in the morning, why not?

❔ Shashlik in lavash or shawarma? Explain your choice.
▫️I’m Dasha, and I don’t eat meat, so I’ll answer for everyone: falafel shawarma.

❔ If your music were food, what would it be?
▫️Something pink and berry-flavored — maybe jelly or marshmallow.

❔ Which brandy tastes better: Noy or Ararat? Why?
▫️Ararat. Self-explanatory.

❔ If your band ever gets cancelled, what will it be for?
▫️We’ll never get cancelled.

❔ In one sentence: why shouldn’t people miss your set?
▫️Well, we’ll cry, scream, and feel the light sadness. It’ll be cute.

❔ What are the chances your drummer disappears before the festival is over?
▫️Our drummer lives inside a very old laptop, so there is a chance... Let’s pray for the well-being of our Lenovo.
