The Metal Asylum Talks To…. Laureen

Can you tell us about the origin of the band name, a history of the band and a little bit about the various members?

I’m a solo artist and this is my real name.

Are you all from the same area? How did you get together as a band?

I’m from the munich area.

Who are your favourite artists/bands and how have they influenced your own sound?

My favourite bands are Bring Me The Horizon and The Pretty Reckless. I grew up with these bands and I love how they do different styles in the rock genre. They showed me that I can do whatever I feel.

Did you always have the ambition to be a musician and in a band or did you originally have other plans?

Since I was a kid, I always wanted to be a singer. So I originally started to do music in my native language, so in German, but I also grew up with English. I didn’t had other plans, music was and will be my number one.

What songs or albums are on your current playlist?

Bring Me the Horizon- Show Moses, Bad Omens – Dethrone, The Pretty Reckless – Hit me like a man and Five Finger Death Punch – Wrong side of heaven. A lot more but these are the main ones I love to listen to at the moment.

Do you sing in the shower?

Yes I do, my poor neighbours lol

Do you have any plans for the band for this year and into next year?

I recently released my EP “Sick of Hiding” and this is my first EP I ever put out, so this project cost me and my partner Selly a lot of time and creative processes, but we had so much fun while writing this EP and its finally out for all our listeners. Next year we are planning to release singles and maaaybe put out an Album, but this is not sure.

Do you currently have any new songs/albums ready to be released?

We have a few songs that are ready to be heard, but the main focus is on the EP right now.

If you could play at any venue in the world where would you choose?

Madison Square Garden! Just imagine having this much people there to only see you. This would be a dream come true.

Do you have a favourite album? If so, what is it?

All-time favourite is and will be “Sempiternal” from Bring Me The Horizon, but for a few months I really like to hear “THE DEATH OF PEACE AND MIND” by Bad omens.

Do you have any guilty pleasure songs/albums?

No, I’m very open about genres, so nothing I hear is guilty pleasure for me haha

If you were putting together the greatest show on earth, who would be playing?

Definitely Bring Me The Horizon and The Pretty Reckless.

Can you remember the first album you bought with your own money? What was it and do you still have it?

Yes. I was 16 years old and The Pretty Reckless released “Who you selling for”. I went to a shop and bought it immediately. I don’t think I have it anymore.

As your fans will be reading this, is there any message you would like to send out to them?
