Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Numenor has released 3 CDs: ''Colossal Darkness'' (Stygian Crypt Production, 2013), ''Sword and Sorcery'' (Stormspell Records, 2015) and ''Sword and Sorcery 2016'' (Stygian Crypt Production, 2016) re-issue including bonus mini CD ''Aeons of Magick with 5 tracks. We have also contributed with various covers on various CD compilations like ''Valhalla'' (Blind Guardian), ''Riders of Theli'' (tribute to Therion CD), ''The Legend of the Master-ring'' (Summoning tribute CD)...
When it comes to our members Srdjan, Mladen and Marko are also members of Alogia and some other projects as well and I am owner of Metal Sound Magazine (www.metal-sound.net). Zeljko plays in band Orvel.
How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music?
I think that epic power metal (with some extreme metal moments) is quite suitable for describing the style, but if I say that there are lots of various influences mainly coming from Rhapsody, Blind Guardian, but also from Summoning or Bal-Sagoth I think it will be even more suitable for the readers.
Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
I guess that people listen Numenor because of the unique epic style and quality of performance. Some say that some of our songs like ''Dragon of Erebor'' have become already very important since these songs are the finest mixture between epic power and black metal...
What have you released so far and how were your releases received by the public/media?
Thus far we've released three 3CDs: ''Colossal Darkness'', ''Sword and Sorcery'' and ''Sword and Sorcery 2016''. I am quite satisfied since we have already some songs like ''Dragon of Erebor'' with more than 50,000 views at Youtube, but also there are other songs with higher number of views like ''The Eternal Champion'' from the debut record or cover ''Valhalla'' (Blind Guardian) which turned out to be very popular.
Do you play live as well? How's your live activity so far?
In fact, thus far we have never performed live, but, yet I guess, that in the years to come we'll also make some gigs. We've already some plans and some offerings to appear on some festivals but, still we haven't schedule anything yet.
What should labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
We're already working with two labels (Stormspell Rec. and Stygian crypt Prod.) and, also we are working with some promoters as well like Unknown power metal Youtube channel so we are quite satisfied. Also, I use my Metal Sound webzine for the promotion as well since it has higher number of views. I think that more and more people already supported us since they like our style and music.
What plans do you have for the near future as a band?
We are just recording the upcoming, 3rd record. The working title is ''Chronicles from the Realm Beyond''. We've already recorded few songs like ''Over the Mountains Cold'' which will be released I guess in November as a studio video-clip. And, if everything goes well, we will released a brand new record in 2017.
Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
I think that the facebook page works quite fine, you can get out there all important information and news about the band, and there are lots of songs on Youtube as well. You can get our CDs and shirts, or just contact us, over my mail: metalsoundmagazine@gmail.com
