Here's my interview with singer Ghanima Galach
How'd you get started in music?
I grew up in an artistic environment (my parents are both musicians) where classical music was prevalent, but I developed a strong passion for rock and heavy metal, so I started to learn electric guitar. Later on, I attended music school at my hometown's main university and eventually joined several rock and metal bands.
2020 lockdown came, and that's when I decided to go on solo, founding a project based on synths, to explore atmospheric and experimental music. I also have a solo black metal project.
Who are your inspirations or influences?
From classic rock acts such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, UFO, Scorpions, and NWOBHM bands to heavier stuff, including several black metal, doom, death, and heavy metal bands,.
I also share a great love for artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Alphaville, Kraftwerk, and others.
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
If you are not passionate about it, better find another gig. When you do it for the money, you will soon be disappointed. Try to learn something new every day and show respect for your craft.
How do you set yourself apart from other bands or singers?
I really never thought about that. I'd say that the wide variety of influences and styles that are displayed in my musical projects set them apart from the rest.
Any new gigs or albums in the future?
Regarding my black metal project (Khlyst), a new album is in the making and is expected to be released in October.
Ghanima Galach, which is my atmospheric/synth/dark ambient act, is now on hold just to let me focus on the production of the aforementioned project.
