First of all, please introduce your band to the readers.
The leader of the band is Grzegorz Kabasa - the composer and the guitarist. Jakub Tabaczewski is the vocalist and a textwriter. Tomasz Graczyk - bass guitar, Miroslaw Niescior - second guitar nad the drummer Mariusz Kukuryk.

How did things get started?
Everything started long time ago in Grzegorz's head - a musical project that needs suitable people who think the same way to make it work right.
It almost seemed like impossible to find appropriate people in such country and especially in the same city. In the middle of 2003 Grzegorz started forming a band and at the beginning of 2004 by many coincidences the final members have been found.

Why have you picked this particular name for it? Has it any special meaning?
It comes from the name of a ship with a very dramatic history. I think the meaning will show up in time.

How would you describe your music?
We describe it as a series of synthetic sounds supported by a strong guitar hit.

What are your main influences?
The musical influence can be found in the energy that comes from the music played by such bands as Rammstein, Clawfinger. The lyrics are inspired by the today's world - it's rules and mechanisms that we usually don't want to agree with.

You managed to spread some of your songs already via the digital highway. What were the replies you recieved so far?
There aren't many fans of such music in Poland, so thanks to the internet we could hear that many people from all over the world like our music.

You already did several live shows in Poland. Can you give us a short explanation how a live show of Bremenn looks like?
We realise the the live performance is something more than just playing instruments live. On stage we also express our music in the way we look, we act. We are currently working on adding theatrical elements to our shows.

Poland has some great grindcore and death metal acts, but when it comes to industrial metal the scene does not seems that developed. How is the industrial scene in Poland? And what kind of crowd do you appeal with Bremenn?
Yes, the industrial scene in Poland is far away from what we can see in Germany or Sweden for example. However, in Poland there are young and middle-aged intelligent people looking for alternatives in life, refusing what media is flooding us with.

What can we expect of Bremenn in the near future?
We are currently working on recording our first LP album. In the near future we'll show our first videoclips. Some official videos from live performances will also be available soon.

Ok, the interview ends here, thanks a lot for your time. If you have something to add, you can do it here.
Thanks to all our fans for their support. Our album is an independent production so please be patient and stay tuned.
