"Not enough. But then again when bands like Black Sabbath, Megadeth came, there were only a few thousand people. For a 4 million 5 million population it's very little so bands don't really look forward to coming but I think it has to open up. It's very conservative. Singapore wants to be a world city right? It can't just be for shopping and this and that right? It also has to be for music" - Dave, Thy Fallen Kingdom Vocalist

Live4MusiC: How long have you guys been together?

Akhbar: 7 years

Live4MusiC: How do you find the local metal scene?

Dave: Noisy! (Soundcheck going on in the background)

Suhaimi: It's rising. In 1999 it was very good but it died down, but the past 2 years it's going up again.

Live4MusiC: Any suggestions on how to improve the metal scene here?

Akhbar: If the organizers put their heart and soul to it, and with a lot of supporters that can support the scene, maybe it will rise.

Dave: The audience in Singapore is better than Europe but i heard Malaysia is even crazier so I hope we can do some gigs in Malaysia as well.

Live4MusiC: Any long-term or short-term goals for the band?

Akhbar: We would love to go abroad.

Live4MusiC: What are the challenges that you guys face?

Akhbar: Selling tickets, convincing people to buy their CDs.

Live4MusiC: How do you think of the acts that are coming to Singapore so far?

Dave: Not enough. But then again when bands like Black Sabbath, Megadeth came, there were only a few thousand people. For a 4 million 5 million population it's very little so bands don't really look forward to coming but I think it has to open up. It's very conservative. Singapore wants to be a world city right? It can't just be for shopping and this and that right? It also has to be for music
