A large portion of the got-djent.com team attended Euroblast festival in Cologne, Germany in October this year, and we used this opportunity to record a couple of video interviews. Our fifth interview in this series was with Disperse, a Polish progressive metal band featuring 18-year-old guitar prodigy Jakub Żytecki. We talked about their album 'Journey Through the Hidden Gardens' and their upcoming sophomore effort, gear, playing live, and more.

This one took a bit longer to publish than we expected, for which we apologise. Two more interviews from Euroblast festival will be published soon.
