Aftershock 2025 Draws Record-Breaking Crowd Of Over 164,000 Fans, The Largest In The Festival’s History

The West Coast’s Ultimate Rock, Punk & Metal Destination 115+ Bands • 4 Unforgettable Days • Fans From Every Corner of the Globe

Danny Wimmer Presents’ record-breaking 2025 festival season concluded October 2–5 with the largest Aftershock in history — drawing over 164,000 fans from all 50 states and more than 30 countries to Sacramento’s Discovery Park, generating an estimated $35 million in local economic impact.

The West Coast’s biggest rock, punk, and metal festival reached new heights in 2025.

Debuting in 2025, Aftershock introduced several new fan-favorite experiences that elevated the festival weekend to new heights. The Capitol Club offered an all-inclusive oasis with premium amenities and elevated views of the main stage, while Tremors Dive Bar kept the energy high with a pop-up set by DJ Rock Feed with surprise guests My Darkest Days, and a special Sunday takeover by Sacramento’s own The Jungle Bird. Fans also discovered spontaneous performances at Beatbox and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it speakeasy hidden beneath the underpass — each adding to the sense of discovery and excitement that defined this year’s festival.

To celebrate DWP’s cultural and economic impact to the region, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, Senator Angelique Ashby, and Assemblymember Maggy Krell honored Danny Wimmer Presents with official recognitions from the City of Sacramento, the California State Senate, and the California State Assembly. The proclamation and resolutions celebrate Aftershock’s decade-long legacy, recognizing its profound cultural, economic, and charitable contributions to the Sacramento community and beyond, and highlighting how the festival has firmly established the city as a premier destination for live music in California.

The 2026 dates for Aftershock will be announced in the coming months along with early bird tickets, allowing fans to lock-in lower level pricing and maximum payment plan options. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to the festival’s official social media channels and AftershockFestival.com.

In addition to music performances, this year’s edition of Aftershock featured various partner onsite activations, award-winning beverages and delectable eats from partners including Animal Place, Astral Tequila, Beatbox Beverages, Black Shades, Blackcraft, Body Art Express, California Army National Guard, Coors Light, Don Julio, Eargasm, Freak On a Leash, Fxck Cancer, Golden State Cider, Hyatt Vacation Club, Jack Daniel's, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, Little Rocker Clothing, Mortus Viventi, Nowhere Fast, Parlor Root Beer, Red Bull, Sierra Nevada, Strüng, Take Me Home, The Pretty Cult, Tito's Handmade Vodka, To Write Love on Her Arms, Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, and Waterloo Sparkling Water.

Aftershock is proud to partner with Visit Sacramento and is produced by Los Angeles-based Danny Wimmer Presents, one of the largest independent producers of destination music festivals in America.

1
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:11.359
Hi, you love them too, Yes, that's true. Why for

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:12.279
you young?

3
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.559
Let's say it's a pipe man here on the Adventures

4
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.960
pipe Man W four c Y Radio and I'm here.

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.039
With I'm Cameron Leuch. I am the drummer for Born

6
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.600
of O Cyrus. Thank you so much for having me.

7
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.359
Dean oh Man, I'm glad you're here at Aftershock. That's badass.

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.479
Yeah, it's a cool festival. So far, so good. I

9
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.600
will say that is one of the earliest shows I've

10
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.439
ever played with the most hyped up crowd. It was incredible.

11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.240
Waking up and just doing that is a shock to

12
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.679
the system, right, Yeah, but I had a lot of fun.

13
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.159
It was great.

14
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.200
Well, that's what's cool about it too, is like I

15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.039
heard that from a lot of other bands that play

16
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.399
early in the day at a Danny Wimmer festival. It's like,

17
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.960
I don't know the magic of Danny Wimmer that people

18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.760
show up when you don't expect them to weigh early exactly.

19
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.680
And I have played many festivals, and I don't want

20
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.640
to throw any particular festival under the bus, but I

21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.480
know that when I do a Danny Wimmer festival that

22
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.079
even if I play very early, he will make sure

23
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.799
there's people coming through the door, and I think there's

24
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.879
some fresh energy with people who might be We were

25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.560
probably the first band they saw of the day, I assume,

26
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.879
so I could just see all that energy and they

27
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.280
hadn't been in the sun for hours yet, so I

28
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.760
think actually we got a bit spoiled in that regard, right, Yeah,

29
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.280
I always know it's gonna be a good time. I'm

30
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.040
also drinking a drip coffee here in the lounge area.

31
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.920
I think the accommodations are just amazing at this festival,

32
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:45.079
So yeah, having a great time.

33
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.319
How cool is that too?

34
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.159
And you know that drip bar adds a line all

35
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.439
day long, and there's an open bar next.

36
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.359
To it, but the drip is where everybody's at.

37
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.400
Yes, I will probably make bad decisions if I hit

38
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.480
that open bar. So today I'm sticking to the coffee

39
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.239
better idea so I can be attentive for all the

40
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:03.439
bands I want to watch tonight.

41
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.319
And who do you want to watch tonight?

42
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.400
Well, Corn is the obvious one. Yeah, who's not going

43
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.759
to be watching them tonight? I think everybody that's here

44
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.960
is gonna see Korn and go Jira. Of course, me

45
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.000
being a drummer Mario is a huge influence also Ray

46
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.240
from Korn. Those are two powerhouse drummers who I'm just

47
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.479
very influenced by Slaughter to prevail as playing as well.

48
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.919
Seven Hours After Violet. I just had to walk away

49
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:30.479
from their set.

50
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.400
But I know Obama right because they're so good.

51
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.759
Oh they're great. Yeah, so yeah, there's a lot more.

52
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.479
I'll have to look at who else is on the list.

53
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.199
Okay, I have a trivia question for you, because I've

54
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.719
interviewed seven Hours After Violet, like I don't know, three

55
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.120
or four times in the past several months, and we

56
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.159
just came to this, like aha revelation last night. Where

57
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.719
does what does their band name mean? Why is it?

58
00:02:58.879 --> 00:02:59.080
See?

59
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.159
Instead of asked you about your band name, I'll ask

60
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.800
about somebody else's band name.

61
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.479
But it's so funny.

62
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.560
Do I get any hints because I'm stumped?

63
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.280
Okay, so think acronym?

64
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:16.639
Okay, so that's your first thing? Oh wait, oh SHOVEO

65
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:17.639
from system of it?

66
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.840
Like any hint it just that's why the hint makes

67
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.039
it easy. But like never registered and I don't ask

68
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.120
bands ever, like how'd you get your band name? Because

69
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.639
it's like one of the stupidest questions asked. But wow,

70
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.599
we were just looking at it like we had to

71
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.479
visualize it, and we're like, oh shit, Wow.

72
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.199
Well, he is one of my childhood heroes and the

73
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.319
system of a Down got me into heavy music. And

74
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.199
it's really cool to see what seven Hours After Violet

75
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.280
have done in only one year of being a band.

76
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:47.560
Right.

77
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.639
They were just out with Marilyn Manson, who's also just

78
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.479
an incredible groundbreaking artist. Still to this day, he's still

79
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.319
putting out great music, as are they. So I'm happy

80
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.240
for the boys. I know Taylor from way back.

81
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.159
Two, so yes, they're all nice guys.

82
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.039
They're great dudes. I just got to chat with them

83
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.039
today too, so we shared a stage today.

84
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.840
I saw them several times in this year. I saw

85
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.479
them at hell Fest and that was insane. Oh nice

86
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.240
because you know what Healthfest is like and they had

87
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:17.920
this crowd.

88
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.079
No is are you talking Hellfest in France?

89
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:20.439
Yes?

90
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.600
And Clisson, Yes, we played that. I love Hellfest.

91
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.560
Isn't that a wild festival?

92
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.800
Man? Credible? Yeah, we played under one of the big

93
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.120
tents and it was a big crowd. One of my

94
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.399
favorite shows I think I've ever played was Healthfest.

95
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:38.360
Yeah, it's like the decorations there, it's unbelievable, and that

96
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.879
night like you feel like hell yeah, it's like, oh

97
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.879
my god, I am in Hell. And then it's so

98
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.519
hot there that you believe it right right.

99
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.759
And I like how they have the catering up in

100
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.040
the balcony where you can also watch the bands on

101
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.720
the main stage while you're like eating and having drinks

102
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.199
or whatever. You're just chilling up there watching bands. It's

103
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.920
set up really really cool. So that's one of my

104
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.959
favorite things about France actually, is that festival.

105
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.199
Yeah, and did you ever notice that there's like hidden

106
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.040
stages like on top of like merch buildings and stuff.

107
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:11.399
I actually didn't notice those.

108
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.560
Yeah, yeah, it's wild.

109
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.720
The next time we play that, I'll have to look

110
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:15.000
for that.

111
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.680
There you go and see.

112
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.319
The cool thing is that Danny Wimmer festivals I feel

113
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.480
have been patterning in themselves after the European festivals, but

114
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.480
specifically Hellfest, because I was told Danny Wimmer went to

115
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.720
hell Fest to check it out, and then here we are.

116
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.920
And then yeah, maybe modeled some things after.

117
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:37.920
Yeah, not exactly, but I remember it.

118
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.759
Being pretty young and being aware of Hellfest existence because

119
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.439
I always saw like my favorite bands at the time,

120
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.240
heavy bands when I was just getting into metal. So

121
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.879
Hellfest seems like it's been around for some time.

122
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:51.240
Yeah.

123
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.000
It started off though, at some little thing and they

124
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:59.839
just grew it into Mammoth Mammoth I mean, like unbelievable.

125
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.480
And they own the whole property.

126
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.759
Oh, they own all the land there.

127
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.079
Yeah, so all those decorations they stay there year round.

128
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.360
Oh well that makes it easy, right right, They should

129
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.240
do it. They should do it more often.

130
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.600
Then, I know, like, let's have one one, so mus.

131
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.160
Do like a smaller tier one like in the middle

132
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:18.279
of the year or something. I don't know.

133
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.759
Well, that's like a bloodstock, which I cover.

134
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.160
Also, they're doing what's called a winter gathering and that's

135
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:25.720
going to be a smaller one this year.

136
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.879
So that's kind of cool. It's a good idea.

137
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.639
Yeah, great, Well, love to go back to Europe and

138
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:31.519
do that.

139
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:33.399
Oh I'll love to see you there.

140
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.199
But I'm love loving that you're here at Aftershock and

141
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.120
speaking on Wimmer, tell us more about how Wimmer treats

142
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:40.800
the artists.

143
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.319
So, Danny Wimmer, when when you show up, even before

144
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.879
you even get there, he's very attentive with detail. He

145
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.519
pays a lot of attention with detail, where we have

146
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.399
a PDF that's just pages of like here's the map,

147
00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.240
here's what's served for dinner, this is if you're vegans,

148
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.480
this and that. I mean just his attention to detail

149
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.519
is crazy. So even before you get to the festival,

150
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.319
you kind of feel like you're in good hands because

151
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.160
you just have all this information as an artist, where

152
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.879
there's other festivals I'll go to and like, excuse my French,

153
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.879
but sometimes it's a shit show, you know that.

154
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:18.680
No doubt.

155
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.360
And for an artist, I think what's great about the

156
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.879
way treats ours is it makes it stress free so

157
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.480
you can have fun when you get up on it.

158
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.319
And that's what today was. And every Wimmer festival that

159
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.519
we do is stress free for us, even everything down

160
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.920
to like the stage, so we use Bornemo Cyrus, We

161
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.240
use Anier monitors, and there are aref radio frequencies that

162
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:46.040
can go sour where you're like the frequencies you can't

163
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.439
hear anything sometimes and if the festival doesn't pay attention

164
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:51.279
to that, they can screw over the artists and you

165
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.839
won't hear anything. But they made sure that all the

166
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.360
frequencies were clear and it was there's no interferences. So

167
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.959
we had an amazing show. And I've been out on

168
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.199
tour for a week so far, playing shows every day,

169
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.600
but this has been I think my favorite show thus far.

170
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.240
Probably because of that stress fee free right, yeah exactly.

171
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.399
So let's talk about through Shadows.

172
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.680
Yeah. So we just released a new album in the

173
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.199
summer and we dropped it in July. It's called Through

174
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.079
Shadows and full length album and we're very proud of it.

175
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.959
So we're actually doing the Through Shadows Tour right now,

176
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.800
a headlining tour throughout the United States. It's about six

177
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:36.200
weeks long, and we are out with the Browning, XC

178
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.879
Lost and Separation and Victims Nice. Oh yeah, yep. So

179
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.399
it's a Born of Osiris headliner and we're playing a

180
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.360
lot of songs off Through Shadows, but we're also not

181
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:53.159
neglecting our older catalog. We're playing everything old, new and

182
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.440
in between. It's actually the longest set that Born of

183
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.960
Osiris has ever played. Wow, So we're doing that, we're

184
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.960
doing the headlining thing. So this was just a nice

185
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.639
little detour after Shock today and then we're back then

186
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.279
I'm back to playing an hour and twenty minutes on drums.

187
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.639
So I'm back to dying on stage a little bit.

188
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:10.759
It's a lot, I know.

189
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.679
And when you play places like here or hell Fest

190
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.519
where it's super hot, if you had to play that long, man,

191
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.279
I don't even know how you do it.

192
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.159
Yeah, sometimes you just gotta pray to the drumming gods

193
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.000
you don't pass out or puke or all of the above.

194
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.159
Has happened to me on stage. I've thrown up on

195
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.000
my snare drum and every time I hit the snare

196
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.480
drum there's puke flying. No mind you this I.

197
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:35.200
Was probably metal.

198
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.279
It was pretty metal. Yeah, this is when I was

199
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.559
maybe eighteen or nineteen years old. I think I wasn't

200
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.480
conditioned for what I do. Is a bit of a

201
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.679
shock at the time, but it's one of those things

202
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.879
when I've been drumming now in this band for such

203
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.440
a long time that those things don't happen anymore. Oh,

204
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.159
so I'm careful what I eat before I play.

205
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.039
Well, yeah, you know now, and you've learned, Like, who

206
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:59.399
was it was it at hell Fest? I forget some

207
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.679
European festival where the drummer forget which band that he

208
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.679
had to get taken off stage because he had heat

209
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.039
stroke in the middle of the set.

210
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.960
Oh my god. Well that does not surprise me, especially

211
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.279
in France as far as European shows go. For some reason,

212
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.840
France always seems like the hottest place.

213
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.840
Oh, no doubt.

214
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.759
We went there during a heat wave last year.

215
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:25.120
Yeah, and I did it the year after COVID and

216
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.159
it was one hundred and four degrees like, so.

217
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:29.679
It made last year look cool.

218
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:30.519
Yeah, you know.

219
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.679
And I couldn't even do interviews in the press stent.

220
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.519
I was like outside by the little pool area in

221
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.519
the VIP and that's where I was feeling it.

222
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.159
And if the sun is beating down on you when

223
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.279
you're drumming and it's just in your face.

224
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.879
Yeah, what can you do about that? I know, right,

225
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:47.360
there's nothing.

226
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.559
And I think you exert as a drummer more energy

227
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.440
than most any musician.

228
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.919
It is true, especially in this genre in metal, yeah

229
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.279
for sure. So, yeah, you have to be conditioned and

230
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.919
just ready to play. This is the longest set we've

231
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.480
ever played, so I definitely prepared before this. And yeah,

232
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.759
it's been nice. Just get ready to run a marathon

233
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:08.960
nearly every night.

234
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.360
And I love talking about this stuff because people don't

235
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.559
think of those things they think, Oh, they're having a

236
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.879
dream life. They're just sitting up there like comfortable and

237
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.200
doing their thing. And part of that's true, but then

238
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.519
there's the other part of it.

239
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.799
Yeah, and the logistics too, where people see you for

240
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.200
this hour on stage, and there's a lot of stuff

241
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.720
they don't consider, where like oh, maybe they weren't able

242
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.320
to take a shower today, or like maybe they weren't

243
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.200
able to find a healthy meal, or like slept in

244
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.200
on a couch that had someone's dog peede on, like.

245
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.960
All the way. There are so many things you can mention,

246
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:48.600
a lot.

247
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.840
Of factors that people don't take into consideration. But bottom line,

248
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.720
I'm just happy to be here and I'm grateful to

249
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.759
be playing music for people that care. Like it's just

250
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.519
really cool to see people are across the world that

251
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.799
know my band's songs. Or if they say, oh, like

252
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.799
I play drums too, you inspired me on my drum

253
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.639
journey and all that stuff just it makes like the

254
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.799
crappy parts of the day all worth it, you know,

255
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.080
Like I feel like I'm making a difference and it's

256
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.080
just really cool. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing.

257
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.679
Honestly, I love it and that's a trip you out too,

258
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.679
when people come up to you and you're like, oh,

259
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.200
i'd play drums because of you, or any of those things.

260
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.919
Like that, because I was there, you know, I was

261
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.960
a kid, and and I would look at like between

262
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.799
the Bard and Me bands like that, and I would

263
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.600
look at those drums and like Blake is one of

264
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.399
my favorite drummers too, and or Mario from Gojiro, Right,

265
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.960
I mean I would look at at just amazing drummers,

266
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.919
look up to them. And if I do run into

267
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.240
Mario today, I think I would probably be really annoying,

268
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.480
hopefully not come on too strong, but like I love you,

269
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.840
I love you, love you. Yeah, he's my idol man.

270
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.840
He's so good. I can't wait to watch him play tonight.

271
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.840
And you know what you just showed a key that

272
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:05.279
I think listeners need to know is musicians are fans first, absolutely,

273
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.759
and it's like, especially in this genre, like you're not

274
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:14.159
playing metal music because you don't like metal music. Nobody

275
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:18.159
does that, right, Yeah, I'm here for the passion, no doubt,

276
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.120
and it is passion. And we can tell in your

277
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.039
music because your new music is badass for sure.

278
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.960
I really appreciate that. And I'll let the listeners in

279
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.679
on a little secret. We're already working on the next album.

280
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:31.600
Whoa.

281
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.120
So yeah, we're busy when we're home. We're putting in

282
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.519
the work and it's it's turning out really awesome, very exciting,

283
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.159
and it'll be some unpredictable twists and turns and just

284
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.000
bottom line like it'll make you bang your head.

285
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:44.879
I love it.

286
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.799
Yeah, we can't wait.

287
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.519
Who's on your tattoo this one?

288
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.000
So I have on my right arm, I have Linda

289
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.399
Hamilton playing Sarah Connor in a scene from Terminator to

290
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:57.279
Judgment Day.

291
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.000
Yep, that's my favorite movie. It's badass.

292
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.879
Yeah, I like, you know, the first one's awesome too.

293
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:04.639
I think the first one doesn't get enough credit. But

294
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.879
Terminator two Judgment Day changed my life when I was

295
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.960
a kid. And James Cameron is just amazing director too.

296
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.960
So and Arnold Schwarzenegger, I mean, what a badass, you know.

297
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.879
I know, right, And he has some story that of

298
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:22.039
becoming that because like he was a nobody that just

299
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.159
you know, persisted just like a musician.

300
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.679
What yeah, just a boy struggling in Austria, growing up

301
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.320
in Austria, and he really made a name and a

302
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:34.440
path for himself. So human, groundbreaking movie.

303
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.159
There you go.

304
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.960
Well, you guys are groundbreaking too, and I look forward

305
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.559
to seeing.

306
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.519
A lot more of you. Thank you so much, Thank
