Despite the frequent line-up changes they have been through during their career, Shakra have managed to keep a lasting identity thanks to the two founding members, who have maintained the original spirit of the band. When we interviewed him a few weeks ago, guitarist Thomas Muster insisted: “Actually, it wasn’t that hard, because Thomas Blunier and me, Shakra’s core, we’ve known each other for twenty years: so Shakra hasn’t changed so far. I’m also the main song writer, and I think this is the reason why Shakra still sounds like Shakra: it doesn’t matter whom we work with, it will still be Shakra. These changes weren’t a big problem for us. There are bands, like Iron Maiden, who changed their singer, and it didn’t work: in our case, it seems to work and we’re really happy with that. […] Having new musicians is a new experience for the band, for sure, but in the end, what is important to us is Shakra”.
Thomas seems satisfied with the balance the band have found between said original spirit and the involvement of their new members, Dominic Pfister and John Prakesh: “Dominic and John wrote some lyrics: it was cool. Both are focused and integrated in the band, and that’s perfect. I think you can hear this on the new album: Shakra sounds like a really strong band. ”.
