I never really cared about that, I'm more into the artistic part of the thing.
What is your latest album and why should people buy it?
Khymera/A new promise. It's very melodic and catchy!
How would you categorize the style of the band? And did you ever consider or try playing other styles of music than the one(s) you are playing now?
Khymera is AOR melodic rock, and yes! I play other styles on other bands/projects. Metal and prog metal.
