Hello everyone. We're here today with Her Last Sight! How are you guys doing?

Alon - We're doing great, we're doing great!

I'm glad to hear that. So how's your life going with the pandemic?

Nir - It's going... Now, in this world... I think most of us know that we're all ready here, everyone has a vaccine, or almost, I think. Over 70% of the people here have already been vaccinated. So the bars are already open and we're scheduling shows again, so it's really incredible.

Yes, it is! So let's talk about your album. It's your very first. How do you feel about it?

Nir - Hmm... How do we feel about it? I think we feel really good! We worked really hard on the album, I think it took us nearly a year and a half of really hard work; whether it was writing, recording, mixing and mastering, and all that. And I think it's a masterpiece because we worked really hard on it and we did it during the pandemic, we had a great time; being together and working with everyone with everyone at home.... We really did our best.

Amazing! What about you guys? Alon? Ron? What do you think of this album?

Ron - I love it. Absolutely every note is incredible! When I joined the band, I wasn't really into metalcore and these guys forced me into it and I love it and I think it's great.

Great! What about you, Alon?

Alon - I'm extremely proud of every second and every note on this album. So I'm really happy that we've got it out and that we've got good responses to the album.

Yes, the fans seem to love it! That's what I've seen on YouTube and other platforms.

Nir - Yes, it's on every platform, on every streaming platform, and it's extraordinary!

Yes, it is! So what's the message, what's the story you want to tell with this album?

Ron - Actually, the message of the 'Mirrors' album is about mental health issues. Because, we believe that all the people we know, all of us, go through these problems every day. So, basically, the album brings together a lot of pieces of stories. We put them together and when we look at all the pieces, all the meanings of the songs, we realize that we're all the same and linked to these problems. That's why we called the album 'Mirrors'. Which means that, at that moment, when you look in the mirror, that's when it happens. It's the music, it's where it touches us, really. In a good way of course, haha!

Yes! What's your favorite song on the album?

Nir - That's a really difficult question because it changes every week. We were talking about it again today, what's our favorite song, what song do we like least. I can say for myself that I really like 'Answers' and 'New Dawn'. Those are my two favourites. What about you guys?

Alon - My favorites are also 'New Dawn' and also 'Dead Romance'. I really like them.

Ron - Great song! Great song! I think my favorite song is going to be the one that the fans at the shows love the most! It's going to be my favorite song.

This guy is already thinking about concerts!

Nir - We're already scheduling concerts in Israel, so it's really exciting for us!

Ron - The crowd singing... I can't wait!

And I hope for your sake that you'll be leaving soon for an international tour.

Nir - We hope so too.

Where would you most like to play? Which country?

Nir - For me, my dream is to play in Japan. That's my dream, yeah, I love Japan! I've been to Japan and that's my dream. What about you guys?

Ron - I lived in Australia for a year, so going back to Australia as a musician must be amazing!

Alon - I want to travel to Europe.

Nir - Yeah, but which country in Europe?

Alon - Just Europe... England, Germany, France…

Is there an anecdote or something you'd like to say when you were working on the album? Something that came to mind, or a funny story...

Nir - I can say for myself that, for example, when we were working on the album, we mainly used the stories of our friends and how they move on with the things that happen to them. Basically, I think the big anecdote is there. It's what happens because of the Corona, because during the Covid, everything changes; people lose their jobs, people have mental problems. Every time we started working on a new song, everything came up. When I think of 'Ghost', 'Ghost' is like someone walking away from their body and everything. It's really like the problems that happen during the Covid crisis. I think it happens to most of us like... looking for answers and looking for what you want to do.

Wonderful! And who writes the lyrics?

Nir - That's a really difficult question. Basically, for this album, as we mentioned earlier, we used our friends' stories to give a much more original form, because this album means a lot. Of course, Ron and I also threw ourselves into writing the lyrics, but most of them are our friends' words about mental health.

All right, then. Is there anything you want to say? Maybe about the BTS of the Rise Up music video ?

Nir - I think it's the best! Ron did absolutely everything for and in that video; so go for it!

Alon - He did the video, he's like the director.

Ron - Actually, there was a day when I posted on Instagram. And I explained in my Instagram post the whole process of making Rise Up. The video was one of my dreams to make. And I'd had this dream for 3 years now, something like that, of wanting to make a video shot in a dark room. So it was amazing to shoot the video, but it was very very difficult. It was also very hot! You know, we stood in a “what's that? A big refrigerator? It was so hot and you know, Alon was with flames and drums and everyone was sweating and you can see it in the video!

Nir - It's like being in a closed refrigerator that's not frozen at all! For, like, five to six hours. And when you come out, you feel... Dead, exhausted! It was historic and fun every time.

Ron - Yeah, but I think the video is great, we get a lot of good feedback on the video, so yeah, we're happy with it.

Great! So I have one last question. What's your dream? What's the dream (musically speaking, of course) that you want to make come true? It could be someone you'd like to work with; something like that.

Nir - I'll give you my dream, my dream is... I think what we all dream of is, first of all, to tour! Meeting other people, being in other nations, seeing cultures and things to understand the musical culture because in every country, in every state, in every part of the world it's different so that's, I think that's one of our first goals. I think our second goal is to play with our idols, for example I can give you Avenged Sevenfold, everybody loves them. Let's just talk a bit about Metalcore bands, for example, we can give you Parkway Drive, they're an Australian band and I think they influenced us a lot in the album. You can hear them. August Burns Red who are my childhood heroes. I think most of us... AH and also, the big band, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE is like the most... Like the highest of inspirations for us and for Ofek. And for us as a band. And... It's the ones that I think are the four biggest for us.

Do you have anything to add?

Alon - I agree with every word he said.

Ron - Bring Me The Horizon has always been my greatest love of all time. I've been to tons of shows and I've been to France, to Rock En Scène, you know, and a few years ago I saw them at Rock Im Park, and a lot of shows and Bring Me The Horizon is one of my favorites. I really enjoy those days when I learn to love Bury Tomorrow in particular. They're a great band. Great riffs, great vocals, incredible.

Great! Then I have no more questions. So, is there anything you'd like to add, anything you'd like to say?

Nir - I think what we want to say is “thank you” first of all for interviewing us. It was a pleasure talking to you. Really a pleasure, so thank you for your time. Thank you for talking with us, it means a lot, and I think... That's all! We're delighted with this album! This album is, as I mentioned earlier, and I'll mention it again, it's our hard work. And doing this with my best friends for... I think for a year, and so, it's been a journey, and we're excited for the next journey. And I think the next trip will be to France, and we'll meet!

Wooooow! That could be, just, amazing! So thank you so much, guys, for coming here today... well, tonight. Thank you very much because, as we say here, music shouldn't stay silent and you know it! So thank you for the new music, thank you for the hope, thank you for the concerts, and I'll see you later!
