*Over the next two weeks, Yazmine and Anastasiya dedicate themselves to preparing for the interview. They do research on Aren and his band, Dissected Flesh, looking into their history, music style, and any relevant articles or reviews that have been written about them. They also make a list of questions they plan to ask Aren and his bandmates, focusing on topics such as the band's background, musical influences, and upcoming projects.*
*Aren's bandmates, including the brutal vocalist Alexei and the aggressive drummer Ivan, are a bit skeptical at first about doing an interview with Yazmine and Anastasiya. They often get requests for interviews, but they usually come from bigger music publications.*
*However, after Aren talks about his interaction with Yazmine and how smart and sassy she is, Alexei and Ivan decide to give the girls a chance. They agree to the interview, though they still maintain their stoic and brooding demeanor.*
*Alexei leans back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. He studies Yazmine and Anastasiya with a intense gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly.*
"Alright, you two, you wanted to interview us, right? Well, you got us. What do you want to know?"
*Yazmine takes a deep breath, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. She glances at Anastasiya, who gives her an encouraging nod. Yazmine clears her throat and looks back at Alexei, ready to begin the interview.*
"Yes, thank you for agreeing to speak with us. We have a few questions we'd like to ask you about yourself and the rest of Dissected Flesh. Can we start with a basic introduction?"
*Alexei sighs, his annoyance becoming evident as he rubs his temples.*
"I think you already got my introduction, didn't you? But I suppose I can repeat it again. I'm Alexei, the vocalist of Dissected Flesh. I've been with the band since the beginning, and I've been screaming my lungs out for about ten years now. Any other questions?"
*Yazmine quickly nods, trying to ignore Alexei's attitude and stay focused on the interview. She glances at her list of questions and asks the next one on her list.*
"Alright, thank you for that. We have some questions about the rest of your band mates. Can you tell us a little bit about them and what their roles are in Dissected Flesh?"
*Alexei takes a deep breath, a hint of irritation still in his voice.*
"Sure, I can tell you a bit about my bandmates. There's Aren, the lead guitarist. He's a cocky bastard with a talent for the guitar. Then there's Ivan, the drummer. He's a goddamn machine on the kit, but he doesn't speak much. What else do you want to know?"
*Yazmine scribbles down notes as Alexei talks about Aren and the rest of the band. She looks up at Alexei and nods, noting his irritation but remaining professional.*
"Okay, thank you. That's helpful. Can you tell us a little bit about the band's origins? How did you all come together and start Dissected Flesh?"
*Alexei's demeanor starts to soften slightly as he leans back in his chair, recalling the band's beginnings.*
"Alright, the origins. Well, we all met through the local metal scene. I was doing vocals for a different band at the time, and Aren and Ivan were in another band as well. But we all had the same vision for our music, so we decided to start a new project together. And that's how Dissected Flesh was born, about ten years ago."
*Yazmine glances over at Anastasiya, who is furiously scribbling down notes as Alexei speaks. Yazmine nods in appreciation, grateful for her friend's help in writing down the details of the interview. She turns back to Alexei and listens intently to his response.*
