Hi Chelsea
Thanks for doing the interview
Anytime! Glad to be here for it
What got you into music ?
Chelsea-It’s just always been something that’s been a big part of my life. Some people turned to books for escapism. I think even as a kid, music was that for meI
know your band visitant has a album Coming out soon?
This year!! We were shooting for sometime in May for a first release Waiting for final masters and finishing up the edits for the music video 🖤 it’s been a long time coming We’ll be releasing Via Exitus Stratagem Records via Earsplit PRWe put a lot of heart into this album. We basically did most everything ourselves aside from masteringAnd PR
What’s the inspiration for this album?
Chelsea-It’s truly the embodiment of grief. Different stages. I think we were all going through some dark times when making it. Which makes it all the more raw . It takes you on a journey. There’s even a feeling of resolution and acceptance But when I was recording I envisioned the music or myself as this not necessarily vengeful spirit but definitely unsettled. And heartbroken. Wanting a story to be heard but no one can hear her no matter how loud she screams.We wanted it to be a bit cinematic. Pulling inspirations from ghost stories and dreams. Inspired by so many different styles of music. We didn’t want it to be like any Metal album out there I think that’s what was cool about making this. We were all free to express ourselves however we wanted
Me -That’s awesome. I can’t wait to hear it.
Chelsea -Can’t wait to get it out there!
How long it take to record this album?
Chelsea-That’s a hard question lolWe all recorded our stuff at different times It’s taken like 2 years to get it all together but we have solid members now and are excited for the futureMe- that’s a while but the work payed off And I’m sure your proud Chelsea -We are! And relieved lol
Me -I bet it’s a inspiration for me as a musician
Chelsea-We hope so!
How did visitant come together and form?
It was first formed by myself and Matt Brown from Demon King. We brought in Taylor and Anthony Lusk-Simone from Abiotic / Lattermath & Terran Fernandez. Then Demon King was hella busy so Matt stepped down. Terran had a hefty work load so we then brought in Kilian Duarte also from Abiotic and Lattermath , Scale the SummitMe awesome!
