STREAM OF PASSION vocalist Marcela Bovio is featured in a new interview with SeaOfTranquility.com discussing the band's new album, Darker Days. An excerpt is available below:

SoT: Tell us about the feeling of waiting to release a new album, as you hear it come together and are ready to release, but must wait for all the marketing to get organized behind it.

Marcela Bovio: "It's torture! For the musician's feeling it takes FOREVER for the album to be in stores after recording. After months and months of writing, rehearsing and recording, we first have to wait for the mix and master to be ready; that's already hard. And then you have it, the final master... You get over excited with the final product, but then you still have to wait for a good four, five months until you can start hearing some reactions from the fans and critics. When you're so proud of what you made you wish you could just share it with the world right away! I certainly can't wait."

SoT: Napalm Records does an impressive job supporting all of the artists they host. I've learned that from working with VISIONS OF ATLANTIS and EDENBRIDGE. How much free reign to create do they give Stream of Passion?

Marcela Bovio: "We have complete artistic freedom when we're writing music, which is a must for us. We wouldn't settle for anything less. The great thing about Napalm is that they also know how to bring it out to their public; they know the fans and handle the marketing part really well."

SoT: Your studio clips of the making of this album and the last were very good. Now please describe what it's really like. It looks like you guys are having so much fun. What is an average day in the studio like?

Marcela Bovio: "It is lots of fun, and also hard work of course! We record everything separately but I think the studio days are for all of us pretty much the same: you get there early, have a little coffee and get settled. Then it's nonstop laying down tracks until the afternoon, having some lunch, doing some more recording and then having dinner. It's rather intense, but the fact of being in the studio is already cool; chatting about music and sound engineering with the people from the studio and the producer on the food/drink breaks is lots of fun, and just hanging out with the band is also great. I try to be on all the recordings if I can, and it's fantastic to see all the pieces coming together."
