Hi, Marketa (and all the band :) )..I don't know much your country, so I was wondering how is metal considered in Czech Republic, is it easy for bands to practice and organize gigs, how public reacts, how are relations between bands, and all this sort of things :)
In the Czech Republic metal isn't mainstream at all, it's not like in Finland for example. The mainstream here is mostly the pop music and also public takes it that way. They called us underground music. There are few TVs and radios that support rock music but its the minority. And how is the underground scene? Well, overloaded, but we think it is the good thing. There are hundreds bands, which means the huge competitive environment but also the huge possibility to cooperate with each other and support each other. Then it depends on the nature of every person/band - how they act to other bands, what they choose - cooperation or fight. We prefer the first option :D And about organizing gigs, it's the same thing - people don't go to concerts much these days and there are about 2 rock events to every day in the weekend, so it's very risky to organize something and bands solve it by exchanges for example, which is also very good way to cooperate.Thank you a lot for your question.Markéta and Štěpán
I am curious, when you write lyrics, do you write directly in English, or do you work it in Czech first and then translate?
Mostly I write in English directly but I also use the rhyme dictionary or the Czech-English dictionary when I want to use some particular word I don't know in English. :)Thank you for your question. Markéta
For all band members. If you could do a song for any movie or franchise what would it be? (Although we already know Marketa's answer.)
Hh, cool question! :DŠtěpán: Queen of the Damned, Cloud Atlas, Inception Radek: Back to the Future, Gladiator Patrik: Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny Pavel: "I don't know" :D (he is the bassplayer, whatever) And me... well... maybe... The Hunger Games? :-OThank you for your question :)Markéta
Hi Marketa ! Do you think that your band might in the future tour in the U.S.A. with some other European bands ? Have a European symphonic metal concert tour here ?
Hi dear J. :)I don't think it could be possible in next few years but who knows how lucky we can be :) With loveMarkéta
Was wondering where you get inspiration for your song writing process . Do you always follow the same process ... Or does everyone in the band have a part in the writing process ?
We finish song itself together as a band but with the first ideas or also whole songs comes Radek or our external member Filip Hrazdira. Other members then add their ideas, change their parts if its possible, or leave it like it is only with few individual changes. And Markéta writes all lyrics.Thank you for your question! :)Radek and Markéta
HI ... Love the name Alia Tempora ... just wanted to ask if there was a meaning to the band name ?
Hi there,the Alia Tempora means Other/Another/Different Times. The meaning is quite subjective but we take it as a link of the old and the new - world, style, music... We live in the world where everything needs its inclusion and we wanted to be somehow above it, just do music as we feel it, experiment and don't care about the categorization.Thank you for your question :)Markéta
Hi .... Just watched a killer drum solo by your drummer Aleš Winkler. Just wanted to ask .. Does he plan his solos ? Or does he already know what the basic solo is going to be like and then make it up as he plays ...
Hi Paul,I have some idea in my head of how it should sound like, but the realization is not strictly set. My playing much depends on how I feel at that moment. :)Aleš
Your male singer is ... WOW!!! I hope he will visit Germany again ^^ I have a question ... Does he have a girlfriend? ^^
Thank you very much :) We are gonna return to the Germany for sure! :) Yes, I am in relationship. :)Štěpán
when will you be touring Europe?? ^_^
Probably in 2017, we hope :) But this Friday we are gonna play in Germany, so we hope we are gonna meet our German fans there! :)Where are you from?Markéta
I am really interested to hear your new drummer . I'd like to ask ... what do you think he brings to Alia Tempora ?
We will introduce our new drummer really soon, we just need to spend some time with him before we do that. :) But for now we can say he is really nice and he is an awesome drummer. ;)
Jak to vypadá s novým bicmanem, kdy nám ho konečně představíte? :P
S novym bicmanem to vypada skvele, nasli jsme super clena do party, ktery je navic uzasny bubenik, takze uz se moc tesime na spolupraci s nim :) A predstavime jej brzo, jen potrebujeme chvilku casu, abychom si ho uzili nejdriv sami :PMarky
Would You Or Band Ever Come To California To Do Some Showa Or Come Visit Me?
What Member Of Alia Tempora Brought This Good Band To The Metal World?
We will probably not visit the USA with the band in next few years, but it is possible that you will meet me and our external member Filip in the California this summer on our personal USA trip. :)Thank you! :) It was me, Štěpán and Radek who formed the band. :)Thanks for the questions :)Markéta
What Are Some Female Fronted Bands Would you Like To Tour With You Someday?
We would love to share the stage with Delain the most, it's our big dream. :) Then Amaranthe, Lacuna Coil, Epica, Within Temptation... :) And we were lucky to play with lovely bands like Xiphea and Sleeping Romance :)Thank you for your question ♡Marketa
Proc nepisete texty v cj??? prijde mne to docela skoda u cesky kapely
:D Už jsem, se bála, že tahle otázka nepřijde :D :) Hodně lidí řeší, proč česká kapela nehraje česky a my jejich argumenty chápeme a bereme, jen jsme se rozhodli jít svou cestou.Důvody jsou třeba ty, že se nám čeština v metalu moc nelíbí, přijde nám dost složité napsat český text, který zní dobře, většinou se z toho vyklube kýč. V angličtině je to mnohem jednodušší, protože většina slov prostě zní hezky :D No a pak taky proto, že se hodně orientujeme na zahraniční fanoušky a angličtina je univerzální jazyk, takže naše texty můžou oslovit více lidí.Marky
Proč Aleš skončil s kapele? Měli jste nějaké problémy?
Problémy jsme měli leda jako jakákoliv jiná kapela, nic světoborného, byli jsme skvělá parta a rozhodně by nikdo z nás žádného člena neměnil, všichni jsme si to obrečeli. :( Důvody, proč nám Alda odešel říct nemůžeme, protože jsou pro něj příliš osobní a vážné, ale můžeme aspoň říct, že si s námi v budoucnu rád občas zahraje, když bude příležitost. :)Kdyžtak mrkni na naše "oficiální prohlášení", jestli Tě zajímá víc :)https://www.facebook.com/AliaTemporaOfficial/photos/a.512406198770291.118665.455714051106173/1247875468556690/?type=3&theaterMarky
Nazdar kapelo, měl bych otázečku, s jakou českou nebo zahraniční kapelou byste nejraději chtěli jet turné a proč?
Jé, tak u nás je to jasnačka - Delain! :D Nejen proto, že jsou naši miláčci a mají úžasnou hudbu, show, image, ale taky proto, že jsou to strašně super lidi! :)No a potom bychom si určitě rádi zahráli s Amaranthe a Lacuna Coil, ke kterým taky vzhlížíme. :)A z českých kapel jsou to určitě Wolfarian, s těmi si vždycky zahrajeme strašně rádi - mají skvělou hudbu, show a jsou to naše zlatíčka. ;)Marky a Štěpán
What Age Did Markéta Morávková Start Wanna Sing In Metal Band?
You probably did not expect this answer, but it was when the Alia Tempora started... :D I always wanted to be the kickass guitarist but it didn't work (obviously :D ) and I were also singing in some choirs my whole life, but my first idea of being the SOLO singer in ANY band was when we created Alia in my 20-21 years :D :)Thank you for your question ;) Markéta
