Interviews About Albums: Projector - Before The Last Light (2026)
1. What can you say about Before the Last Light?
It’s our second album, and it represents the evolution and consolidation of this lineup. It also reflects greater maturity in our lyrics and songwriting, while allowing us to incorporate new influences and explore other aspects of our sound.
2. What is the meaning of the Before the Last Light title?
It feels like a moment of urgency, a moment on the edge, filled with nostalgia. Given the state of the world today, it seems like everything is getting darker, and that we are reaching a point where even that last light of hope is beginning to fade. It may sound sad, but that is precisely what resonates with us at this point, and we try to channel those feelings through our music.
3. Who is the main composer of Before the Last Light?
I’m the main songwriter. Usually, I start by bringing in the demos, and then we work on them together, first from the musical side and then on the vocal and lyrical aspects. I try to involve everyone as much as possible, because the idea is for each of us to contribute and express our own feelings and sensibility through the music.
4. If you had to pick one song, which one would you pick?
Ufff, it’s really hard for me to pick just one, so I’m going to cheat and choose two! Hahaha.
The first one would be “Living Resources,” because I think it represents the album and different facets of the band really well. It’s also a lot of fun for us to play live.
The second one would be “The Future We Deserve,” because it pushed me out of my comfort zone and it’s quite different from the rest of the album. Also, having Cinthia Santibáñez on vocals was a real honor. She’s one of the most important voices in Chile, and she’s also my vocal teacher, so I’m really happy and grateful to have her on the song.
5. Is there a special message in this album? If there is, what is it?
I don’t know if there is one particular message, but there is definitely a general idea behind the album. It invites us to look at the current state of the world, as well as ourselves, and to ask what we can do to make things better. But in order to do that, we can’t ignore the elephant in the room; we have to be willing to acknowledge our mistakes and take responsibility for our own actions.
6. Are there some lyrics that you'd love to share?
I’d love to highlight the lyrics to “200 Eyes,” which deal with the 2019 social unrest in Chile and the conditions that triggered it. It was an extremely tough period whose aftermath is still felt today, and honestly, not much has changed since then.
I’d also add “The Future We Deserve.” Its lyrics are almost poetic, and the duality of the vocals gives the text that melancholic edge that defines the song.
7. Which inspirations have been important for Before the Last Light? (Musically, friends, family, or someone special?)
Musically, our core foundation has always been the Swedish school—bands like In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, and A Canorous Quintet—alongside gothic and doom influences like Paradise Lost and Sentenced.
Beyond music, everything plays a role. The current state of the world gives you that frustration and anger, but at the same time, love for your people and the desire for something better shape the outcome. It’s not just about spitting hatred in the lyrics; it’s about adding something deeply reflective to them.
8. Something to add?
Thank you for the interview and for taking the time to feature our work. It means a lot to us to reach as many people as possible and show the world the kind of metal we’re creating from this part of the globe.
We invite everyone to check out Before the Last Light and make it part of their daily playlist. See you on the road soon!
