A few questions - interview with WRAITH. 

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play , etc.? 

Hello and cheers! We are Wraith, a blackened thrash band from Northwest Indiana. Wraith was founded by vocalist/guitarist Matt Sokol in December 2016. Mike Szymendera joined shortly after on drums and Chris Petkus was enlisted late 2017 to play bass. 

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering? 

We recorded our new album ‘‘Heed The Warning‘‘ in Matt’s basement. Recorded and mixed by CJ Rayson. We sent the album over to Joel Frind to master. 



How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)? 

We are releasing on CD and digital independantly. We are releasing a limited run of cassettes through RapidFire Records. 

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with? 

Matt Sokol wrote the lyrics for our album ‘‘Heed The Warning.‘‘ Lyrics range from war, an endless winter, addiction and motorcycle riding bastards! 


Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important? 

The band logo and font was created by friend Felix Roman. The artwork for our new album was created by our friend Andy Wiszowaty. Both are local tattooers. We consider social media to be extremely important. Thanks to the internet we have fans across the world. 

Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you? 

We are releasing a limited run cassette release through RapidFire Records. RapidFire has been very good to us. 

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration? 

Our inspirations are Venom, Motorhead, Toxic Holocaust and Midnight. To name a few. 

Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

We sent the record out to a few labels. But no bites as of yet! 


How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best? 

Wraith has shared the stage with bands like Whipstriker, The Varukers and Steel Bearing Hand. We love playing live whether it’s a club, festival or a basemnt show! 

What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band? 

We plan on releasing our album ‘‘Heed The Warning‘‘ in mid August. We plan to play as many shows and hoping we can do a US tour. We hope that the album is a success and hope people dig the music!
