1
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:19.640
Hi, you love Done to Censure? See Wow for you yours?

2
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.519
The Pipe Man here and the Adventures a Pipe Man

3
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.280
W four c Y Radio and I'm here with Chain Saint.

4
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:25.039
Nice.

5
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.079
It's so cool. We're here at Bloodstock. Last year we

6
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.519
talked at Welcome to Rockville. We had to cross the

7
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.079
pond and do it again. How does it feel to

8
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.039
be here at Bloodstock in the UK? Man?

9
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:36.920
It feels amazing.

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:38.920
Right now we're in the middle, well, actually on the

11
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.520
ladder half of our tour with Slaughter to Prevail. You know,

12
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.759
we're just chilling, surviving and thriving.

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.600
Nice. How has it been being on tour with Slader

14
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:49.640
to Prevail? Man?

15
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.640
Let me tell you it's been one of the best

16
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.520
experiences because not only do we get to like play

17
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.439
our own music, we also get to learn from some

18
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:56.960
of the best.

19
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.399
It's very fortunate. So were you guys at Blood for

20
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.680
Blood before Rockville this year? Yeah? Oh my god, that

21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:11.280
fight I Alex. He's fucking brutal. Like he fought. I

22
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.920
think he got his notes broken and then still performed

23
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:21.560
like mad props. So tell the people that haven't heard

24
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.599
you guys before, what you guys are all about. How

25
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.040
you would explain your music not necessarily a genre, just

26
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.640
you know, give them an idea of why they should

27
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.159
listen to you.

28
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.319
I think I said it last year, A raw ball

29
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.079
of fire. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's how I see it.

30
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.640
I mean, it's just like a lot of energy, a

31
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.239
lot of emotion, and a lot of thrash and a

32
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.280
lot of hardcore.

33
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:44.719
A lot of fucking thrash.

34
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.799
I love it. I'm an old school thrashball ahead, if

35
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.439
you remember, we talked about that last year, but that's

36
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:56.959
old point. Thrash is a combination of hardcore, punk and

37
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.799
everything you can't like just take like Suicide and Slayer

38
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.159
are not the same, and Frax and Megadeth are not

39
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.959
the same. And that's what's cool about the fresh genres.

40
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.120
You can blend all these genres, especially today because today

41
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.719
you have a lot of metal genres are so finite

42
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.680
that you can only play like this. And I love

43
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.800
bands like you that can blend all kinds of experiences

44
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.960
and make it something unique that's going to stand out.

45
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.240
And that's why Slurred Ravail brought you out.

46
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.639
I think, man, thank you appreciate that.

47
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.960
So we already know Suicide is one of your influences

48
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.759
who would you say is your major influence.

49
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.479
The guitar wise or like bands bands Sepultu nice did.

50
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:45.919
You catch their last u K set?

51
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.560
Every astronam As the Rocks, so their last Spain set?

52
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.080
Oh well see that's cool, that's cool. How about you

53
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.639
as a vocalist. I gotta go fill in Somelmo Panthera.

54
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.879
I mean it's just like there's a certain level of

55
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:58.639
great he has.

56
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.719
But you know, either way he talks. Even when he talks,

57
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.199
I know, he's like I'm friends with him and he's like,

58
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.680
oh dude, you know, I don't really like what was

59
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.719
going on today at the festival, and you know it's

60
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.919
pretty fucked up. Bring up the goddamn cigarette and try it,

61
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:17.280
how about you?

62
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.639
I would also have to agree with Sepultura that's like

63
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.280
probably our main influence in general.

64
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.479
So yes, I would say somewhere like newer, like Power Trip,

65
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:29.039
you know.

66
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:34.560
Oh yeah, see, those are some badass influences that are all,

67
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:39.120
like I said, a little different that brings that uniqueness. Well,

68
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.840
and we probably talked about this last time, but what

69
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.960
would you say so far on your musical journey, because

70
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.479
maybe it's new now a year later, it's your most

71
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.520
memorable experience, good or bad, crazy or not crazy.

72
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.719
Memorable tour like tour experience, like.

73
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.319
In general, anything in music.

74
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.000
I'm gonna have to get back on this one unless

75
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:03.840
you guys go around for us.

76
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.960
He's got a lot to think.

77
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:06.919
Mine's explicit.

78
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.360
That fine. You could say explicit, you could do explicit.

79
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.080
I don't know what he's gonna say.

80
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.720
Remember, Oh, yeah, Okay, So we're playing Arizona Bike Week,

81
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:24.279
right and we're sound checking and yeah, and basically we

82
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.560
hit the last quart of the sound check. We're expecting

83
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.720
to just go backstage because you know, but since it's

84
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.519
the festival, there's people that were watching a sound check

85
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:38.040
out of nowhere. Somebody screams, sign my titties. Now, I'm like,

86
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.240
I'm like seventeen eighteen at the time, so it's I

87
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.240
hain't never seen titties before, period. So I was just

88
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.759
kind of like, no, long story short, it just did

89
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.360
not go the way I would have liked it to go.

90
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:53.920
But we signed her.

91
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.560
Bra Well there you go. And now you probably think

92
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.040
back and like, what was I thinking?

93
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.959
Oh no, I'm even today, I would not sign them.

94
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.240
Good for you, Good for you, good person, think.

95
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.560
I think one of the ones I'll say is definitely

96
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.199
on this tour. It was, Yeah, what was the when

97
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.959
we're at with Matt around the festival super Lit.

98
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:15.839
Romania?

99
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.160
Yeah, yeah, I think so the festival in Romania.

100
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.519
You guys were lit. They were awesome. I had a

101
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.000
great time there. That was probably my favorite night on tour.

102
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.399
Nice all time, how about you?

103
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:29.879
Uh? Low key?

104
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.160
Yesterday was kind of crazy.

105
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.399
We met me and him, met the singer for Marauder.

106
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.439
He was like watching a side stage and that's a

107
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.519
big influence on so it was pretty cool. And then

108
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.839
we also like almost got into an altercation with some

109
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.720
guy in this band. I don't know who he was,

110
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.800
but uh, there's that.

111
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.519
I guess why was there an altercation? What?

112
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.160
I think he just thought we were talking about him,

113
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.040
but he was just singing a Prince song.

114
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.319
Singing a Prince song and then he got offset and

115
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.560
then said like my dog just got put down, and

116
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:05.959
I had no clue.

117
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.839
Oh yeah.

118
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.319
Then he like threatened me saying I'll be put down next,

119
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.600
but you know what, I don't care.

120
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.480
Well, you know what, I'm sorry you had that experience

121
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.600
because usually at Bloodsuck there are no assholes. Here. We

122
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.680
don't like assholes, and that's an asshole. I feel bad

123
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.439
no for what he happened happened to him, but that

124
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.720
don't give him a right to be a dictum totally

125
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.920
point blank. So is that one the story you would.

126
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.160
Share a story I was gonna say, so.

127
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:38.839
Yeah, so that's pretty cool that Marauder was sitting side

128
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.399
stage like that must kind of blow your mind.

129
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.720
Yeah, of course that that was very crazy.

130
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.360
I just like looked over when like in the middle

131
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:47.560
of one of the songs and then I just see

132
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:48.160
him standing there.

133
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.879
I'm like, holy shit. So yeah, it was a big deal.

134
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.079
And then in catering, he like came up to us

135
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.120
and he was like, oh, like we killed the set

136
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.120
and I was like, wow, So it's really cool.

137
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:02.240
That is a cool experience. So tell everybody what you

138
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.959
got going on after this and after the tour is over,

139
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.600
and tell everybody how to connect with you on your

140
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.439
socials and buy your merch because they can't listen to

141
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.040
my show. And let's say buy your fucking merch.

142
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.199
Okay, well I like that, So to get started on

143
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:20.800
like what we got going for the rest of the tour.

144
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.720
You know, we're just playing we're ending up at Dynamo Fest.

145
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.759
So that's another cool one.

146
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.079
