Interview with Lone Roman

What is your greatest non-musical influence?

Beyond music, my passion extends to horror literature. Some notable authors I admire include Clive Barker, known for “The Hellbound Heart,” adapted into “Hellraiser,” as well as Bram Stoker and Edgar Allan Poe. The lyrics in my music tend to reflect my love for horror and fantasy as well.

What inspired you to create this project?

In the midst of quarantine, I encountered significant challenges – caring for my ailing father, unemployment, and health issues that plunged me into a state of general depression. Amidst this darkness, this project emerged as a beacon of hope. I aimed to craft something uniquely appealing, a creation that I, myself, genuinely wanted to listen to.

What are your plans for the future (musically)?

I’m in the process of crafting additional songs for an upcoming release. Rediscovering the joy of playing in drop C has sparked a new passion, and I’m eager to infuse freshness into my music. In the vast ocean of song releases, I aim to create something distinct and original, recognizing the challenge of standing out. My sole objective is to produce the most authentic and sincere music possible.
