Balancing soaring melodies with heavy metal force is a craft that demands instinct rather than calculation.
In this interview, the band behind ‘Divine Power Flowing‘ speaks with Fok ‘bs‘ about emotional honesty, modern mythology, creative independence, and why true power in metal has nothing to do with preaching.
You describe your sound as melodic and epic, yet firmly rooted in heavy and power metal.
How do you balance grandeur with emotional intimacy in your music?
“It comes naturally, I guess. Melody is a core element of power metal, so we don’t really force that balance. We just write the music the way it feels right to us.”
‘Divine Power Flowing‘ feels almost like a spiritual manifesto.
What kind of energy or philosophy do you hope your listeners absorb from it?
“We’ll be more than happy if people simply enjoy the songs. We’re not gurus or preachers, we just want to create music that connects.”
Your lyrics often explore inner struggle and personal growth.
Do you see metal as a tool for self-reflection, or more as a weapon to challenge the world around you?
“It depends on the band. We’re not a political band, although some of our lyrics can be interpreted as criticism of the society we live in. Music used to be a stronger social force in the past, nowadays it’s different.”
Galicia has a rich cultural heritage and mythic imagery.
How does your regional identity shape the stories you tell in your songs?
“Hard to say exactly. The weather, the landscape, the atmosphere, our way of being… all of that inevitably shapes who we are and how we create music.”
Many of your tracks draw inspiration from video games, manga, and pop culture.
How do these modern myths compare to traditional mythologies in giving meaning to your music?
“Some modern stories could be considered mythological in their own way, but they’re different kinds of creatures. We simply write about what we like. We’re not a fantasy or epic power metal band in the traditional sense.”
Epic choruses and soaring vocals dominate your sound.
Do you think heavy metal can carry a kind of collective emotional catharsis that other genres cannot?
“That’s defined by the audience and the community around the genre. Metal fans tend to be very passionate in a genuine way. Unlike pop idol culture, in metal the music itself usually comes first…if we ignore the carnival-style bands, of course haha.”
‘Divine Power Flowing‘ was largely self-recorded and produced.
How does maintaining control over your creative process affect the honesty or integrity of the music?
“100%. No more, no less.”
Your riffs are both technical and heroic.
How do you ensure that musical virtuosity never overshadows the emotion behind the songs?
“We’re not a virtuoso-focused band, so that’s never really been an issue for us. It’s not something we actively worry about, to be honest.”
Darkness and hope coexist in your lyrics.
Do you see metal as a way to confront the shadow aspects of life without losing sight of aspiration?
“Metal can help with that, sure, but confronting the darker sides of life requires much more than music alone. Still, it can be a powerful companion in that process.”
The album conveys personal growth while remaining aggressive and energetic.
Do you believe struggle is necessary for transformation, both in life and in art?
“The most important thing is to do what you truly like and not be obsessed with other people’s opinions. A band grows through work, effort, enjoyment, and having the right people around you. After that, it’s also a matter of time.”
In an age of streaming algorithms and short attention spans, how do you maintain a long-form, narrative-driven approach to album-making?
“We try to keep the spirit alive while somwhow adapting to how times are changing. We’re not a band that blindly follows trends or fashions and we’re fine with that.”
Divine Power Flowing blends personal, mythic, and pop-culture elements.
How do you navigate the line between authenticity and inspiration when borrowing from stories outside your own life?
“We throw everything into the same cauldron, chant a spell, and wait for the elixir to be ready. Somehow, it usually works.”
When someone finishes listening to ‘Divine Power Flowing‘, what reaction matters most to you:
awe, reflection, or empowerment?
“TRUE POWER!”
Rather than chasing trends or crafting grand statements, ‘Divine Power Flowing‘ stands as a record shaped by instinct, passion, and creative autonomy.
It’s an album that embraces melody and strength not as opposites, but as forces that grow stronger when allowed to coexist naturally.
