Could you provide us some basic info about your band? (name, country, year of birth, music style, etc)
GOLDEN AGE is a Russian synthetic metal band. We began our history in 2005 and walk a long way to release our debut album "Golden Age" on November 01, 2007 through Hellcome To Dollywood Records. We believe that it’s a fantastic mixture of industrial metal rhythm and cyberdance vibes in the vein of Dope Stars Inc and Oomph. Our album was highly evaluated by Russian and foreign media. GOLDEN AGE is also well-known for our collaboration with a famous Japanese cyber punk Kenji Siratori. CD “Psychotronic” is rocking the houses in Holland, USA, Japan and other countries. In January 2008 we started the recording for our second yet untitled album.

Why did you exactly pick this track to appear on the compilation?
“Fallen Angel” is the opening track from our debut album “Golden Age”. It’s very groove and we believe that it can give a listener the exact feeling of our CD. It’s definitely one of the best our songs.

How important is and has the internet been for your band?
Well, we think that modern internet technologies will dominate in the future over the normal CDs. Downloading will be the quickest way for the fans all over the world to get new music immediately. So we try to use all internet possibilities to promote our music. This F**K EM ALL COMPILATION is a good idea and we will support it for sure.

What are the views upon the local music industry in your native country? And what about the rest of the world?
Nowadays it is a fantastic growth on the music market in Russia. We have a great number of live shows each week and many new arrivals on CD markets each day. Music is the language that is spoken all over the world and everybody can understand it. You can make friends in different countries and keep them updates about your new CD, shows, news while just sitting home near a computer. Also the promoters can get in touch with the band pretty fast via computer in case fans like the music and ask to bring the band. MySpace is a great site and the guy who created it is a genius. :)

How do you see the role of the record labels in the music industry in about 10 years?
We think that in 10 years we can expect more independent labels than now because it’s better to be number one on independent labels then number 332 on the major one. :)

What are your opinions on the Industrialized Metal Webzine?
Industrialized Metal Webzine is a very good up-to-date online resource and we would like to say thanx to all Industrialized Metal Webzine team for a great job they are doing.

Do you have some final words to add?
