And what got you guys incarcerated?

8
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.240
Man? Okay, that's a double edged sword. I mean we

9
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.799
played here in twenty four I love playing here.

10
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.479
So happy we're back. Weather's amazing today. What got us incarcerated?

11
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:46.719
Man?

12
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.759
We just wrote a song about.

13
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.479
GTA six and a bunch of felowies and maybe that's

14
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:51.960
what did it?

15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.119
What do you think? Yeah, I mean that's pretty much it.

16
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:56.280
Right.

17
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.240
If we're going to pick a reason to be incarcerated,

18
00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:59.520
and we just put out a saying know all about

19
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.240
going to me and Sam kind of out incarcerated inside

20
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.040
of her yesterday, I think you were in there with them.

21
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.359
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a little bit of a that's

22
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:07.120
how we got.

23
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.319
Closed, right. Yeah. It's funny out world works too, because

24
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.840
it's like, you know how many times that happens to me?

25
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.079
And even with him, he was up there and I

26
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:23.640
read his Hebrew at tattoo, So it's like separate experiences

27
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.280
for the same band, and I go through that shit

28
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.959
all the time. But it is creepy here anyway, at

29
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.000
shaw Shake Prison, Like because I was on the Blood

30
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.680
Prison tour today, did you do that?

31
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.560
I've not done the Blood Prison tour, but we were

32
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.719
here yesterday and that's probably as close as I know.

33
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:43.480
I'll probably come for Halloween or something.

34
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.719
But yeah, yeah, the Blood Prison tour. Oh my god,

35
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.319
that was uh, something was in there and it wasn't

36
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:56.480
one of the characters just saying I agree. Oh, and look,

37
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:03.920
we have a newest rival everyone. So I have a

38
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:10.199
very important question for you guys, extremely important. So which

39
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.520
do you think is gonna be better? The new Halo

40
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.400
or the new Call of Duty?

41
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.120
That to you guys, definitely.

42
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.439
I mean, I guess Call of Duty is technically a

43
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:24.879
new game and the Halo is a remake.

44
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.240
But come on, the Halo remate. I'm so excited.

45
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.159
Call of Duty is oversaturated their market lately. I love

46
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.560
Call of Duty, but every year it just gets worse,

47
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:36.080
you know.

48
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.520
I mean, I gotta I gotta give you a hot take.

49
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.039
There, so I gotta go Halo as well. It's kind

50
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.759
of the childhood memory. What is that two thousand and one,

51
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.639
two three one.

52
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.039
It's like the original, like the Xbox stage. Yeah, like

53
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:50.960
the original.

54
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.360
Yeah, and we both me and Mike both love Halo

55
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.680
funny enough, ironically enough, Mike's a bigger Halo fan than me.

56
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.240
But we wrote that song before he was in the band,

57
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.039
so it's like, yeah, rip because he wanted, you know,

58
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.919
it would have been cool for him to take part

59
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.520
in the songwriting. But we might have something up our

60
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.960
sleeve in the Yeah, I was called just the future

61
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.560
that might touch on that area.

62
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.599
Again, I won't say more, but yeah, some ideas have

63
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.680
been said, so it.

64
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.719
Could be something like I have enough song on one.

65
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:25.199
Oh, well we've done that. We might do something, not directly,

66
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:26.280
I don't want to give too much away.

67
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:27.080
No, we don't do that.

68
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.120
Nothing, something adjacent if you will.

69
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.639
Yeah, well, you know what people need to do. They

70
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.319
just need to go to your socials and your website

71
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.439
to find out when it happens exactly.

72
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:37.680
It's gonna be a minute.

73
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.599
We're doing a horror record next, and that's all like

74
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.199
horror games, Resident Evil and Slid Hill and stuff.

75
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.360
So oh, let's talk about that we can.

76
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.159
And that's Sam's area of expertise.

77
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:48.240
Let's talk about it.

78
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.159
What do you want to know everything? But we only

79
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.280
have like two days, so you have to narrow it down.

80
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.000
Yes, well, it's gonna be absurdly heavy number one.

81
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:00.639
Number two.

82
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.560
We're gonna try to incorporate more like older elements like

83
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.680
slip n like Iowa slip knot think that kind of

84
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.039
creepy atmosphere.

85
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.639
It'll make Metals scary again kind of deal.

86
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.360
Right, We're gonna try to do that, but with a

87
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.240
kill streak, twists and the games we have in mind

88
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.920
are going to be insane for the vision that we have.

89
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.639
That's that's really cool. And when should we expect That.

90
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.160
First single from that will probably be in the fall

91
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.560
of this year, by late twenty seven.

92
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.600
For a full album drop just depends on how things

93
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.439
go with the writing process and all that stuff.

94
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.879
But yeah, it's cool.

95
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.199
We like to really treat our albums like their own

96
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.000
entities in regards to like the first album's first person shooter,

97
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.319
second album's fantasy games. We got a horror album coming up.

98
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.879
We're gonna do sci fi after that. It makes the

99
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.040
writing process more fun, more easy.

100
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.040
We already know what we're doing. It's all there for us.

101
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:56.839
The lore and all that, and we can just kind

102
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.240
of take from that and create something cool.

103
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.600
Cool. And so how does it feel to play at

104
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.600
a prison like you're Johnny cash?

105
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:08.639
Well?

106
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.680
I love Johnny cash so it's pretty cool, dude. And

107
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.959
not only that, dude, but this prison, you know, is

108
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.079
a haunted prison and it's a tattoo festival.

109
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.240
I'm a tattoo artist.

110
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.399
I love Halloween and it's a metal festival on top

111
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:24.639
of it.

112
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.160
Dude, this is like my ideal thing.

113
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.879
It's Disneyland for me.

114
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.160
Yes, absolutely.

115
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.319
And now here's the goal. Next time you play ink,

116
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.800
you're gonna have to do ink and music. You'll you'll

117
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.839
be tattooing and play.

118
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.480
He just likes to join the bands too much to

119
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.279
make it a job, you know, right, Yeah, I just

120
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.600
when I come here for incarceration, I'm here for the music.

121
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.720
Like I get my my spooky fix, you know, and

122
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.399
I get my tattoo fixed daily because I'm a tattoo artist.

123
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.120
So like when I come here, I'm I'm here for

124
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.240
the bands. I'm here for kill Streak, you know.

125
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:08.480
Nice. And what's your favorite tatt on you? Oh?

126
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.040
I uh, probably it used to be the wolf on

127
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:12.800
my hand, right, here on my right hand.

128
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.680
But I would say, now it's my sheep and wolf's

129
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.639
clothing on my neck because I feel like that's how

130
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.040
I am.

131
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:20.240
Like.

132
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.879
People see me right off the rip and they're like,

133
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.759
oh that guys, yeah, yeah, he's got tattoos.

134
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:27.839
He's probably not a good person.

135
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.959
But then people get to know me, and the first

136
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.240
thing I do for the people that I first meet,

137
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.199
I gave him a big old hug, you know what

138
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.399
I mean. And and it ties into my faith as well.

139
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.759
I'm a Christian, so it's.

140
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.720
Yeah, see, that's way cool because metal, that's what metal

141
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:50.399
is like. People think, oh, we're real, scary, bad people

142
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.639
like and it's the exact opposite.

143
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:54.240
You know.

144
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.800
It's funny because I got reminded of something the other day.

145
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.399
I don't know if you saw in the news about

146
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.800
this country concert where there was this big brawl. Okay,

147
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.199
And so there was a time I had to cover

148
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.680
two festivals in one weekend. So I had one of

149
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.639
my employees cover the other one. And she had never

150
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.000
been to a rock show ever in her life. And

151
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.680
she she was a country girl and she's scared. I'm like, listen,

152
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.560
you go to these country shows where rednecks are getting

153
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.240
drunk on Jack Daniels and kicking the shit out of

154
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.120
each other. You're gonna go to the show, You're gonna

155
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.199
meet new friends, you're gonna probably find a boyfriend, and

156
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.360
you're gonna see one. We're one big family that takes

157
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.399
care of each other. And she comes back from the

158
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.839
festival and she's like, oh my god, you were so

159
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.360
right because I have all these new great friends. It

160
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.839
was so much fun. I tee backed some guy and

161
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.759
he's now my boyfriend. And I have this new favorite

162
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.319
fand I don't know if you know them. They're called

163
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:02.600
Bring Me Their Horizon.

164
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.920
Oh yeah, I may have heard of them, right, that

165
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:06.600
is what you said.

166
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.279
You were like, I've probably heard of them once or time.

167
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:09.720
The country.

168
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.079
Oh well, what a start, I know, all right, yes,

169
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.920
shout out. So I also played country music. So like

170
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.120
when you started talking about that, like started to perk

171
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.040
up a little bit. You're absolutely right, though, I mean,

172
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.240
you're probably safer here than you are with you know.

173
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.000
I mean it's hard to tell sometimes, but I think

174
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.839
you are. You know, we just it is more of

175
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.279
a family. It's fine, it's fine. It's a lot.

176
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.399
We're a lot more of a family than we are here.

177
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.720
You're you know what I mean, And it feels like

178
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.559
in other places, like when you're right here in the

179
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.279
metal It's just it's just something about it. I think

180
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.120
it's like, you know, a lot of us, maybe a

181
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.080
little bit of outcasts or something, it kind.

182
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.720
Of seems normal. So it's like this is the thing

183
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:43.960
that we had to gravitate towards.

184
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.159
Well, this is where we're all on the inside, you know,

185
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.399
we're on the outcasts on the inside, you know. And

186
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.720
maybe we metal heads can just handle their alcohol better.

187
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:54.240
I don't know.

188
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.840
I mean, I think it's that, but I'm sure everybody

189
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.200
would agree. It's the music gives you a place to

190
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:03.200
channel your anger already, so when you're at these shows,

191
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.000
it's like therapy. So yeah, you're not worried about picking

192
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.799
fights or for the most part, and.

193
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.159
I mean, I love listen. I've kind of warmed up

194
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:13.639
the country.

195
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.679
I used to be kind of that guy that that

196
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.399
stereotypical metal head. It's like, oh I hate all country,

197
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.200
and now I'm kind of like getting into a little bit.

198
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.240
But that's not you don't get the same visceral feeling.

199
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:28.440
You just don't know, you know, and my former head engineer,

200
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.039
only former because he passed away. He was also one

201
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.320
of my best friends. He had a metal band in

202
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.039
the eighties and he was, when he passed away, a

203
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.279
country rock duo, and he used to always say I

204
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:47.039
love metal and I love country and I love Neil Diamond,

205
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.240
and he did. He's saying Neil Diamond. You thought it

206
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.720
was him, but it is. It's all three of those

207
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.679
are different vibes, that's all it is. It's like what

208
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.559
you connect to and the therapy. That's always my big thing.

209
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.480
Like I go into mosh pits so I won't kick

210
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:08.480
people's asses. You know you get so.

211
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.679
Let me drop a quote. I like music because everyone

212
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.080
sings it back for their own reason.

213
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.120
No one has the same reason for singing the lyrics

214
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:15.559
back to you.

215
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.279
I love that because a lot of artists get it

216
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.080
and some don't. They want, oh, you should have the

217
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.360
meaning of the song. No, That's why I never asked, like,

218
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.120
what's the meaning of this? Because people, the best music

219
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.159
people put their own meaning to and you kind of

220
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.360
think you know what the artist is saying, but only

221
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.960
the artist knows what they're saying.

222
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.720
Absolutely, I can touch on that now with our band though,

223
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.159
Kill Streak, we.

224
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.240
Make songs about video games. As I mean, it's.

225
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.120
Pretty cut and dry that you get what you what

226
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:50.600
you see.

227
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:51.679
Yeah yeah.

228
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.159
But as far as like other metal music, I think

229
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:59.639
Mitch Lucker quoted it from Suicide Silence. He said, Dude,

230
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.759
if you like you hear one of my songs and

231
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.519
that means something to you, keep that for you because

232
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.480
if that's what helps you get through life, keep that

233
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.200
that's your thing.

234
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:10.960
Heck, yeah, that's what it's all about.

235
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.000
So yes, I'll even add that there's some songs for me.

236
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.279
Part of it I connect to and the other part

237
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.039
I don't. Or the reason for those lyrics that I

238
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.080
know they are, I don't, but my own meaning to

239
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.559
it is what makes sense, you know. Like I'm a

240
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.480
pretty positive person, so I could take some songs and

241
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:36.000
I'll push the negative out and take the positive from it.

242
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.519
Like one of my favorite lyrics ever speaking of bringing

243
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.360
me to the Rizon is I can't drown my demons.

244
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:47.159
They know how to swim as the fucking most brilliant

245
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.240
shit ever, And I don't even care what it means.

246
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.960
It's just fucking brilliant.

247
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.279
I love Till Slater to wash his Dick. You know

248
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.639
that's just as deep.

249
00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:01.120
Dude, that's good advice, So come on.

250
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.320
Yes, especially at metal vessels, it generally yes.

251
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.559
So speaking of that, for each one of you, what's

252
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.440
your favorite lyric of your own songs?

253
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:16.360
Oh?

254
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.320
God, well, that's really easy for me.

255
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.960
I love Skyrim and that was like one of the

256
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.320
songs I got to, you know, contribute for on this

257
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.080
new record, and honestly, just the fuce row Da chant

258
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.759
because it's just so iconic in the game, and so

259
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.080
the fact that we just actually have the fus row da, Like,

260
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:38.240
I know, there's a lot of probably more lyrics, but

261
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:39.159
that just does it for me.

262
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:39.879
Nice.

263
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:45.360
I need to think on this a minute, all right, man, dude.

264
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.960
See, I would say guard with a hard question there.

265
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.240
I would say, just to kind of summer up Kill

266
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.279
Streak as a whole.

267
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.159
I feel like our anthem is no scope.

268
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.720
That's like, that's the one that we started with, that's

269
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.080
the one against most people go. But there's the literally

270
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.840
like the last breakdown is all's I can taste is

271
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.240
blood and victory. I feel like that kind of sums

272
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.159
up this band in general. We freaking grind and do

273
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.759
our thing and we push through and then we're slowly

274
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.879
but surely seeing our work payoffs. So I feel like

275
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.159
that kind of translated we're about video games, but that

276
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.559
lyric in particular, I would say is probably mine.

277
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:24.759
I love it.

278
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.720
On a less serious note, so we have a song

279
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.840
called Death Touch and it's about Magic the Gathering, and

280
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.799
I play a lot of Magic the Gathering, especially on

281
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.279
the computer. They have like a magic gating arena game,

282
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.240
and I lose a lot, and I get really angry

283
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.799
when I lose. So when I wrote Death Touch, some

284
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.960
of the lyrics, I wrote that with that in mind,

285
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.039
so like it would be the soundtrack to me losing.

286
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.200
And Mike does the vocals of this part.

287
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.120
But essentially, for those listening that play, Madge of the

288
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.919
Gathering gets, your manna is weak, your counter spells be nothing.

289
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.679
I will exile all that is before me.

290
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.559
It's literally if you play the game and you heard

291
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.559
what I just said, it makes so much sense. If

292
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.639
you've never play the game, it's just some neurse shit.

293
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.600
But man, I can't tell you how many times I play.

294
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.679
I play frequently and I lose in the worst way,

295
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.919
or if somebody as a deck I hate and I

296
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.639
just want to throw my keyboard or throw the cards,

297
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.879
and I always thought I need a soundtrack for that anger.

298
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.159
It's like, let's do it. So one of our heaviest

299
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.600
songs ever. I was like, yeah, let's go.

300
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.799
I love it.

301
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.960
My favorite lyric is probably this.

302
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:37.440
I can't think of any right now that.

303
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:42.120
No, but that was the best answer ever. Like I

304
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.960
love those kind of things that happen on my show,

305
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:53.639
you know. And he's your shirt. It looks like it's

306
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.240
Cheap Trick, but it's cheap hey.

307
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.120
Yeah, so shout out to him. This is my cousin's

308
00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:58.919
band he plays in.

309
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.279
It's like they're like a rock band and a lot

310
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.679
of their themes are based off of eighties wrestling, So

311
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.519
got the Chuck Norris and honestly just a badass shirt

312
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:07.519
and they're they're awesome.

313
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:08.759
So yeah, shout out my cousin.

314
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.519
That's pretty wild, because you know, when I interviewed Rick

315
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:17.720
Nielsen of Cheap Trick, he said, we have a new song,

316
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.879
like he was back backstage as concert. We have a

317
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.080
new song. Nobody knows about it yet, would you like

318
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:27.039
to hear it? And he pulls his acoustic guitar around

319
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:31.039
and starts playing it in the interview. I'm like, that

320
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.840
was I think that was probably a fanboy moment for

321
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.559
me because like it's so badass those impromptu shit. Now

322
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:42.799
what you just did is now another fanboy moment for me.

323
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:47.879
Oh shucks, dude, No, it seriously metal though in general,

324
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.720
like for me, it's not always about the lyrics, because

325
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.559
I mean, you listen to like pre to a chainsaw,

326
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.320
you know, I'm like, what do I take from that?

327
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.159
You know what I mean?

328
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.919
But it's not necessarily the lyrics. It's the aggression, it's

329
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:04.519
the vibe. It's the because I have a lot of

330
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.879
pens up stuff that I just need to get out,

331
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.600
and metal does that for me.

332
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.279
The more heavier it is, the better.

333
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.639
That's how I always say that all the time. It's

334
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.399
the best therapy there is for you the artist and

335
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:20.000
for me the listener, you know. And because like you

336
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.120
the artists, you get to get shit out of you

337
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.120
that you might not if you didn't have that outlet,

338
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.120
because you wouldn't want It's like different telling somebody opposed

339
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:33.480
to singing it or writing it down, you know, And

340
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.440
then somebody like me, you go into your pit and

341
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.639
fucking get all the anger and depression and bullshit out

342
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.919
in the pit with a bunch of people that we

343
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.679
all just love each other while we're trying to kill

344
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:49.120
each other.

345
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.279
Mike is a pit boss. He'd be like, all right, guys,

346
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.360
I'm taking it easy. I'm taking it easy. I'm not

347
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:55.279
gonna do anything tonight.

348
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.759
And then he's like, all right, hope, my bade, I'll

349
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:58.240
be right back, and then he runs into the pit

350
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:00.559
and then busts his knee at knock loose or whatever.

351
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:06.119
Guilty. Well, like last night, we were hanging out out

352
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:12.119
there and one note of a go Jira song came

353
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:16.519
out and I handed somebody some down here. I'll be

354
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:22.559
right back, zoom. And then somebody got fucked up and

355
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.880
I'm like, oh, I'm out good.

356
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.319
It wasn't me, okay, But did that random guy give

357
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.039
your drink back?

358
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:36.200
It was a chick, and I gave her the confetti

359
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.279
that was shot out of the cannon. I'm like, here,

360
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:44.440
I brought you back a gift. So what else do

361
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.039
you want the listeners to know that we haven't covered already?

362
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.000
And tell them how they can reach out to you

363
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.559
on your socials, buy your merch because they can't fucking

364
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.759
listen to my show. Unless they buy your merchant.

365
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:59.200
All right, so I'm holding the mic. Okay, So we

366
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:00.359
are out.

367
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.240
As I mentioned, with the new single this Fall, Resident Evil,

368
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.960
it's gonna be a cool music video.

369
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.319
Along with that.

370
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.799
Make sure you check that out.

371
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.559
We're hoping to have the actual album done and released

372
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.359
in the late twenty twenty seven, so not too much

373
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.039
of a turnaround time. We'd like to not have too

374
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.279
long a breaks. I know every band has different opinions

375
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.720
on that, but I want to have stuff out for

376
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.359
people to enjoy but not not get bored with, you know.

377
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:27.440
What I mean? Yeah, totally.

378
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:34.240
You can find us on socials, kill streak us everywhere, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram,

379
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.400

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.960
And if you like video games, you'll love us.

381
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:39.759
If you don't like video games, I think you'll still

382
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.039
love us because one of the things that we really

383
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.960
try to do is make it so if somebody doesn't

384
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.960
know the game, it's still a good metal song, you know.

385
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.319
That's it. Yeah, And people can take what they take

386
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.359
from exactly and you killed it here on your streak

387
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:02.839
at incarceration. That's for Robert. That's my bread and butter

388
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.279
