As we promised, today you can expect another interview of our series. This band is already more than 20 years on the stage and is not getting tired to please their fans with hits and performances. Their style is red shirts and black ties. Of course we are talking about SOLITARY EXPERIMENTS. Frank Glassl, drummer of the band, has agreed to answer our questions. Hope you will enjoy it.

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time until you decided to get it done?
Frank: I carefully waited until I was 18 and I made a tattoo on my right forearm, a tribal, that I drew myself. I worked on this sketch over two years and thought that tribals are not exposed to time and I will always like it. Yes, after 18 years, I see there is much more nuances :D

• Charly Barth-Ricklefs

No matter how high the temperature may be outside, during the show of this band you can always expect snow, ice and Bigfoot. Early next year, the band will go on their first headliner tour “Nichtsommertour”. So, today our guest is Charly, vocalist of EISFABRIK. If you expect a tattoo in the form of a snowflakes or ice planet, then I have to disappoint you, but I think you will find a lot of other interesting information here.

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time to make you doing it?
Charly: I had my first tattoo done in 1992 in London, it was a scorpion. Back then, I paid twelve British pounds. Strictly speaking, the scorpion was my second tattoo; the first one was the “male” symbol, which I did myself, but now it is underneath the scorpion tattoo. Fortunately, you cannot see that embarrassing logo anymore – it was badly done and I’m not sure you can even call it a tattoo.

I am one of them, and I will do my best to explain why I am still going to see the Sisters live today.

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time until you decided to get it done?

• Alex Møklebust

We continue our series of Interviews with Alex Møklebust - the beautiful voice of SEIGMEN and ZEROMANCER. I don’t think that these bands need additional introduction and many of you have seen amazing live show one of these bands.

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time to make you doing it?
Alex: My first tattoo was a ugly scorpion. Got it in Miami Beach, Florida in 1991. It was my birthday and I was all by myself. Just wanted to celebrate my birthday in a cool way and decided to get a tattoo. I was such a wimp. It didn’t hurt much, but I was afraid that it would. So I forgot to breathe and nearly fainted. So dumb. That’s what happen when guys try too hard to be cool. Just be yourself.
