PipemanRadio Interviews Desolator at Bloodstock Open Air 2025.

The Pipeman Radio tour landed at The UK’s biggest independent metal festival featuring not only some of the biggest bands in Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, but also some of the best emerging metal music out of the UK and Europe competing in Metal 2 The Masses for a spot to play on New Blood Stage. The festival also features The Sophie Lancaster Stage dedicated to the memory of Sophie being brutally beaten and murdered just for being Goth and different. Sophie’s story particularly resonating with anyone who has been bullied, abused, or attacked for simply being who they are. The mission of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is to stamp out prejudice, hatred and intolerance everywhere. This festival is more than just great music, fun, awareness, and togetherness. It's a family driven DIY Festival that cares where there ar eno outsiders. We join together for a common cause.

Nice here at Bloodstock and little Birdie told me you're

7
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.760
like a thrash metal band.

8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.759
We play a fellow fast rifts us in our repertoire.

9
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.359
Absolutely yeah, a couple of like fast drum beats and

10
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.600
some ranging solos.

11
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.079
Like we do a slow riff for maybe at once

12
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.119
every few years, but no, like, yeah, we're old school,

13
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.479
fresh and also heavily inspired by speed metal, a little

14
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:47.600
bit of rock and roll.

15
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:54.359
That's my battle first from there.

16
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.240
You go, Yeah, we're inspired by all these bands.

17
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.359
Take a look at all the bands on here.

18
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.840
First of all, Sleigher at this point in time didn't

19
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.719
I even have a backpatch, So I did that.

20
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:04.120
Looks good.

21
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.079
Fuckers.

22
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.319
Yeah, so Slayer recently, it's the only GID got into.

23
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.560
You go down the street and just even like half

24
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.560
an hour later, everyone is shouting Slayer.

25
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.400
I was at their first show ever, Holy and Metallica's

26
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:20.159
first show ever.

27
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.840
The makeup on the all and everything.

28
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.200
Yeah, yeah, Metallica's first show ever.

29
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.000
And then we should be into being you now, I know, right.

30
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.239
And then those assholes went up to the Bay Area

31
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.159
because they were in l A. Yeah, me and my

32
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.959
bro had to fucking hitchhike up the Bay Area to

33
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.319
go to the real fresh shows. Now here's some history

34
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.560
for you, since you were talking about the eye makeup

35
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.920
slayer hat. When they went up to Bay Area, bands

36
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.959
like Exodus and Possessed and other bands up there were

37
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.920
like that ship don't fly up here.

38
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.280
You need to take that off.

39
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.719
Around God and she is getting supposes.

40
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.359
Yeah, I mean it's like and they're like, oh, it's

41
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:06.040
just eyeliner for evil.

42
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:06.879
Fuck that.

43
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.840
Yeah, I can't say what it is because you could

44
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:11.879
only say that in the eighties. You can't say it now.

45
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.960
But you want to do that. Go back to LA

46
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:15.960
with the glam.

47
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:16.240
Bab What was it?

48
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.719
What was it that mustaying so glam stood for.

49
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.000
I'm not saying that's get that.

50
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.000
Yeah that we can't say it's good.

51
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:29.560
Yeah, good, good guys.

52
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.840
Well, you know what's funny is that I was just

53
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.280
talking in the last interview about s O D and

54
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.240
they're actually playing at festival I'm doing in the States

55
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.639
this year. But they did mister Bungle did a song

56
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.199
at Graspop the speak English or Die, which you can't

57
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:56.199
really sing now so they sang speak Flemish or Die.

58
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.039
It's incredible that they got away with at the time.

59
00:02:59.240 --> 00:02:59.719
There's a lot of.

60
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.080
Songs that you could not even mention, every single song

61
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.479
on the s O D album.

62
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.879
But still I would still say they have the best

63
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.319
crowds dive of all time? Is it likean I think

64
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.680
that front flip?

65
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.800
Oh yeah, from that well, my teeth, see my teeth.

66
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.080
The blood from my teeth is on this vest. Because

67
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.319
did you ever hear the band Savage Grace? They were

68
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.199
a flat Yeah, yeah, I love it.

69
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.039
I love the really controversial album covers that you could

70
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:31.960
not get away with now.

71
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:32.840
Right.

72
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:37.439
So I was at their show, climbed up on the

73
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:43.599
Marshall stack when full swan dive crowd.

74
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.520
Moved, Oh no, teeth first into the floor.

75
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.599
Ah, that's it's always a risk in it.

76
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.639
It's a good memory. It kind of sucked then, but

77
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:52.800
it's I.

78
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.439
Mean, we got some cool moshpit stories.

79
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.520
Has a phelix Susa's shoes at Sodom come out of

80
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.080
no shoes.

81
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.840
Well, actually, the cool thing about today is that we

82
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.319
were getting crowdsurfers. The e MP stage isn't even prepared

83
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.680
for crowdsurface and normally they're supposed to catch them. They're

84
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.120
not even expecting it. There's people flying over just nowhere

85
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.360
to go, Jack from Bango, if you listen to this,

86
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.319
you kick my pedaboard right out the way. And I

87
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.920
couldn't hit the fucking boots with the solos, thank you.

88
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.000
That's like, if your gear isn't getting sucked up by

89
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.759
the crowd, it's not a real fresh gig.

90
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:25.839
Of course.

91
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.680
So the stage has taking place.

92
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:37.360
Okay, my blood, there you go. So you mentioned about

93
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.079
the Dark Angel. You know they have a new album.

94
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:40.920
Dark fucking Angel.

95
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.560
Yeah, yeah, you know they have a new album.

96
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.399
Yeah, it's I mean, you know, you're never going to

97
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.279
be able to beat like the Darns Sands Leaf Scars.

98
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:50.639
It's fucking great.

99
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.000
How about we have arrived we find that Oh my god,

100
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:57.959
you are thrashed.

101
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.120
Yeah that was great.

102
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.079
Yeah, me and Sam went can you see them in London?

103
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.199
Played the whole of datis the Sands. It was a

104
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.680
fucking dream country, fucking brilliant angel rock.

105
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.240
So I was just doing an interview at Helfest with

106
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.680
Gene Hoagland and I pulled this out.

107
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:14.040
I'm like, do you know this band?

108
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.399
So yeah?

109
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.120
I loved Dark Angel back in the day. I was

110
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.680
at the first crossover show ever, which was at a

111
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.560
Sun Valley Sportsman's lodge. It was like an Elks lodge

112
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.279
because back then, if you were a long hair, which

113
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.560
I was, you couldn't go to a punk show, and

114
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.279
if you were a punk you couldn't go to a

115
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:43.000
metal show. You got your ass beat. So I at

116
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.680
this fest. At this show, it was on the punk

117
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:52.360
side coc pre Pepper when they were hardcore punk, Suicidal

118
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.480
before they crossed over when they were crazy punk, and

119
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.920
then the Descendants and on the metal side with Savage Gray,

120
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.279
Dark Angel and Possess. What year was that man, nineteen

121
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.759
eighty three or eighty two.

122
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:11.920
It was so insane.

123
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.160
There was no security, It wasn't a music venue, and

124
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.800
like I remember in my head seeing people flying through

125
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.399
the air because they were climbing up to rafters and

126
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:23.399
dive in from there.

127
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.199
There is no safe place to hide anywhere.

128
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.079
There's no style of music that has that same energy.

129
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:30.879
Oh my god.

130
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.199
You might get a sort of death frash show, but

131
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.879
you're not going to get there anything other than the

132
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:36.680
fucking frash show.

133
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:36.920
Yeah.

134
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.439
Like, speaking of crossover, one of our earliest gigs was

135
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.319
supporting Dric. It was a dream coming true. I love

136
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.240
that as a huge inspiration for us and as you say,

137
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.399
bridging that gap between Metel and punk.

138
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.000
Yeah, they grew their hair out and they were like

139
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.399
people talk about a lot of bands that did it.

140
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.079
They were the ones that started to cross over one.

141
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.439
Yeah, going the term crossover album, yeah exactly.

142
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:02.920
Yeah.

143
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.279
When we played with them is when Harold Ouman was

144
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.560
in the bands and before then I bought the Murder

145
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.519
in the front Row book, so I spoke to him

146
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.199
about it and he got us laptop out. Sam, do

147
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.879
you remember backstage and he was showing us all these

148
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.319
photos that couldn't make it.

149
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.839
Into Murder in the front Rows.

150
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.160
Yeah, that's it.

151
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.199
Yeah, that's yeah.

152
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.319
He was showing us all these amazing photos. It was

153
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.000
great to just kind of see here we go, look nice,

154
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:29.759
listens to the home there we're pointing it to dear

155
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.079
I tattoo on Sam Torbert's her drumming arm.

156
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.360
And a funny story about that gig was that we

157
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.480
were so oh we do we don't be playing for

158
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.360
about a year and a half. I didn't know that

159
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.600
when you put new bass strings on they'll lose their tuning.

160
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.079
And I didn't have it. I didn't have a tuna pedal.

161
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.560
So we had one tuna which we shared between us,

162
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.519
and it wasn't even a pedal.

163
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.480
It wasn't a pedal. So I put new strings on.

164
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.959
Use this bullshit tuna we go to play. Every string

165
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.000
is so out of tune. There's just no hope. So

166
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.800
I played the whole set with my base turned off

167
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.959
and I just look over and see Harold looking at

168
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.639
us like a little bit con bewildered, you know, but

169
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.120
like and then back then we had a lot of

170
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.759
dropouts where it's just face, so I'd have to turn

171
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.720
the bass back on, play this like bass only section

172
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.879
out of tune, and then turn it up again. The

173
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.839
most confused sound guy you've ever seen. Oh my god,

174
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:19.800
that's but that's a long time ago. We're a bit

175
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.519
more professional now he's got his own pedal.

176
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:23.839
Now, how about this For a gig I went to.

177
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.079
It was a Slayer show in LA before they were big.

178
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:35.639
Striper was the warm up band, right, yes, Striper with Slayer, Wow,

179
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.759
And I was right up front at the stage and

180
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.080
the guitars from striper bent down and his cross was

181
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.360
hanging in my face and I turned it upside down

182
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:47.919
and he like smiled that day.

183
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.039
No, no Bible for you then, right.

184
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.639
No, No, I'm gone to Hell. I'm gonna go party

185
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:59.360
with Ozzie. So tell people a little more about your

186
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.720
band and besides it being fresh, what they can expect

187
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.879
at your live show and from your music.

188
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.840
Yeah, I think we take like the fun element of thrash.

189
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.399
We also are very inspired by speed metal. We love

190
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.879
like we try and bring in a bit of rock

191
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.480
and roll, like we're not are you.

192
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.120
A speed killer Mania?

193
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:20.519
Yes? Yeah, no, no, we're not.

194
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.639
Speaking of manis everyone who listens to us to speaking

195
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.320
a manias nice and the speaking a maniac is a

196
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.440
theme that runs throughout some of our songs. It's just

197
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:31.120
the emporiment of the spirit of just going fucking nuts thrash. Yeah,

198
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.960
we're not a pizza fresh bands. We're not going to

199
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.919
sing about pizza. We've got a couple of songs about

200
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.879
like yeah, but it's more about the it's in a

201
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.840
way that kind of an avenue for like hedonism, about

202
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.320
just having a fucking great tie.

203
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.320
Yeah, Like we always talk about liberation, you know, like

204
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.879
Fresh and speed Metal is a liberation, but we're also

205
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.320
heavily inspired by like the savagery of like German Fresh

206
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.399
as well, you know, Creator and Destruction. Yeah, so like

207
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.519
kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, So we kind of mix

208
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.279
that fun vibe with also that savage vibe. We want

209
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:01.519
totally you know what me We want to mix it

210
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.120
all together. But ultimately it's about having a good time

211
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.559
and we want to know, like today, everyone in the

212
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:07.559
crowd's smiling.

213
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.639
That's what it's all, you know.

214
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.440
Yeah, so we see a lot of smiles other shows.

215
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.159
This is the Fresh hour, I figure.

216
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.240
So at Hellfesto was in the Exodus pit, which was

217
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.799
fucking awesome just a couple last month, a couple of

218
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.799
months ago, and I was filming it the whole time,

219
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:32.960
all im in there, and everybody commented on, I've never

220
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.159
seen you smile that much, Like I'm getting fucking.

221
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.639
Banged around, and I just like grin from her here.

222
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:44.480
I brought my son into his first mosh pit and

223
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.960
I explained to him it was Metallica tattooed the Earth

224
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.440
tour with slip Knot as the opening van and explained

225
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.000
to him like, this is what's gonna happen. People are

226
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.320
gonna push you around. Chill out, don't worry about it's

227
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.600
all in fun, don't.

228
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.240
Get upset, friendly violence and fun.

229
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.720
Yeah, and then people are pushing me. He was like thirteen,

230
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.360
and I see him start getting mad. I'm like, jill out.

231
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.480
And then five minutes later, grin ear the ear. I'm

232
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:19.360
like the batanas thrashes like an athlete. Oh yeah, it's

233
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.240
the greatest fucking therapy ever.

234
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.120
Well, when we were playing, I looked over and I

235
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.039
saw it's like this metal dude that he had this

236
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.039
kid with him, and I was kind of looked over

237
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.480
and he had this huge grin on his face.

238
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.480
After the show, he come over and he.

239
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.399
Had his son, who was about sort of four or five,

240
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.240
and he goes, you are my son's favorite band.

241
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:37.480
And we did his fist bump to this.

242
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.919
Little four or five year old kid he had lost

243
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.639
and both like Mark like dad and son had this

244
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.440
massive grin, and it's like that's the fucking real deal there,

245
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.200
that's it.

246
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.519
That's it. Yeah, Because you know, like there's not as

247
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.960
much old school this year. Blood Sock like we fucking

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.639

00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.120
smaller stages to find the old school stuff, you.

00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.000
Know, right, Well, it's cool hell Fest.

252
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.519
This year they took instead of he used to have

253
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.200
like the Black Melt stage and the death metal stage,

254
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.799
the Black Melt stage this year was the thrash metal stage.

255
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.279
Like that was so fucking cool to minute. I have

256
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.960
a trivia question for you guys.

257
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:16.480
There we got got.

258
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.639
What was Metallica considered before there was such thing as

259
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.279
calling it thrash metal?

260
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:25.759
Oh?

261
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:27.000
Fuck up yours?

262
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.159
I can't remember, ah, So I'll tell you. I'll tell

263
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.399
you a story to remind you. I was at their

264
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:42.399
first show ever, and afterwards, Dave Mustaine comes out in

265
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.600
the crowd and he's talking to me. It must have

266
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.320
been like thirteen, I think, and he hands me a

267
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:53.120
business card. He had a business card. It said Metallica

268
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:54.840
power Metal.

269
00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:00.919
Dave, yes, didn't I Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.

270
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.039
I don't know, it's wild to think of them as

271
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:03.720
power metal.

272
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.840
Yeah, metal took a bit of a different turn after that,

273
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.720
I know, right.

274
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.639
Because it was they were called power metal when they

275
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.120
were the fastest thrashiest.

276
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.159
They ever were.

277
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:15.480
But we have a song called full Power. So we

278
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.279
were on speed Kills. Obviously everyone remembers speed Kills. We

279
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.279
were on number seven. We did a single called full Power,

280
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.200
so power I can kind of see how you could. Yeah,

281
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.000
before before the whole power metal movement took off.

282
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.320
That makes it before it became like a Viking thing.

283
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:41.440
Yeah, Chasing Goblinson, No, he likes some power metal. Hammer

284
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:42.320
is one favorite band.

285
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:42.559
Yeah.

286
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.240
Yeah, it's like there's power metal, then there's heavy metal,

287
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:47.759
and then there's.

288
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:48.360
There is a crossover.

289
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.559
I think as soon as you issues keyboards, that's when

290
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:51.360
it becomes power metal.

291
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:52.360
Yeah.

292
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.799
I like maybe you've got like a lot of the

293
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.720
German band Yeah, like Primal Fear, Primal Fear, Bland Guardian.

294
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:01.840
They consider palm old bands now, but when they start,

295
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:06.519
they're just fresh bands that could actually play and write

296
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.559
songs that weren't based in the pentatonic that was those bands.

297
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.759
But yeah, it's yeah, palmel I remember now, I feel

298
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.200
like a right poser for not knowing that.

299
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:16.039
Yeah.

300
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.879
Yeah, okay, well I'm gonna pull the vest out again

301
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:20.519
for you.

302
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.600
There's no posers allowed.

303
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.240
Yeah, yeah, beat that poser down.

304
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.279
So how do people reach out to you guys on

305
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.759

membership of the speaker a Mania club.

331
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.080
And how do the people listening join?

332
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.159
Just google speaking Speaker a Maniac. And that's a song

333
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.279
from our first album.

334
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:49.720
New album, Spirit of Speeds, came out a few months ago,

335
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.200
so spotify, band camp.

336
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.600
Yeah, so you can buy the stuff on the band camp, shirts, CDs,

337
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.639
but just you don't have to buy, just listen to it.

338
00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.919
Spread the word nice.

339
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.320
Is there anything else you want to share with the

340
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.279
lizards that you got upcoming or that we didn't discuss

341
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.759
that they need to know about your band.

342
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.320
We don't really have anything coming up like this worth mentioning.

343
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.039
The album's out we've recently put out, so just listen.

344
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:13.840
To the album. Yeah, that's the key that we've been waiting.

345
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.840
We always joked that we're like the Fresh Metal's Easy

346
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.559
Top because we're a three piece, we have no lineup

347
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.879
changes and we take over ten years between albums. Our

348
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.080
first album was twenty thirteen. We finally released Spirit of

349
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.279
Speed this year, so that alone is the reason to

350
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:29.720
check out.

351
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.559
That's why the music's so good, because you've been writing

352
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:32.960
it for.

353
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.399
All that you can look forward to another album in

354
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.039
ten years.

355
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.399
So now, are you sure you guys are from Canada,

356
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.519
because Canada always has trios.

357
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:49.960
No, no, but Canada's got some fucking great bands. Got Razor, Sacrifice, Yeah, yeah,

358
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.000
three piece, keep it simple.

359
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:55.200
Yeah yeah, we got en our egos in this band.

360
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.720
We can't have another one it take it, take it,

361
00:16:58.759 --> 00:16:59.159
take it well.

362
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.279
You guys are true musicians because you're just having the

363
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.000
best time, and that's what it's about. You're not having

364
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.559
fun in this industry. It's the wrong fucking industry.

365
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.000
Exactly.

366
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.519
If you're not having fun, don't there's no point, there's

367
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:12.039
no point.

368
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.000
It's hard with us.

369
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.200
It's hard right being in the band. Sometimes there's a

370
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.359
lot of sacrifice and if you're not having fun, you

371
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.160
may as well just lift something else, I think, Yeah, exactly,

372
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:27.319
Oh no, it's all going wrong.

373
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:29.200
Anything to say, Sath.

374
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.920
Well, you guys fucking killed the Air of blood Steak

Thanks so much, really appreciate it.

377
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:46.519
Michelle Kerr was my press officer for my entire fucking career.

378
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:52.519
Here in the UK, my entire career with Machina. She

379
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.200
recently passed away and it was a very, very sad day.

380
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.799
And I can tell you the reason that I'm gonna

381
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:04.480
tell this story because she was family. She was Bloodstock family,

382
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.200
she was heavy metal UK family.

383
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.599

Hey Reed, you name it.

387
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.640

388
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:28.880
Man.

389
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.119

390
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.640
she helped make this entire music scene, this incredible, beautiful

391
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.079
community that lives here at Bloodstock Man she helped make it.

392
