■ I've heard that many bands are like brothers, but I've never heard of an official brother band.

Xenon: We are always watching them as sinners, we're now dealing together to bring them to justice at any moment we can.

■ What do you think of your brother band NETH PRIERE CAIN?

Xenon: They’re a good opponent that are to be defeated sooner or later.

■ A Split-cd was released immediately after the start. Which of the 4 tracks are yours?

Xenon: Track 3, 「ill fame」has an aggressive finish that symbolizes us as i.D.A. And Track 4 「Break free」is in contrast to 「ill fame」, a song with a message of seeking freedom.

■ The song 「神話双星記(Shinwa Soseki)」 was released on January 30th, and the same song was arranged differently by i.D.A and NETH PRIERE CAIN. What's the feeling behind the i.D.A's 「神話双星記(Shinwa Soseki)」 version?

Xenon: We paid close attention to every detail to make sure that it would never leave the mind of those who heard it.

Xenon: It has a heavy sound which gives the taste of i.D.A, also it has a vigorous melody with the theme of anger.

Xenon: It has become the most aggressive and intense song we have made.

Naki: A way of life.

■――The coupling song is "Wrath". What kind of song is this?

Naki: A rough song that brings out the feelings of anger.
