every second.

This is the pipe main here on the Adventures pipe

14
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.200
Man W four CY Radio. And I'm so excited about

15
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.280
this next interview because it's one of my favorite bands

16
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.000
and I was so shocked when I heard the new

17
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.640
music and now we have to talk about it. So

18
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.680
welcome to the show. Geene Hoagland from Dark Angel, how

19
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:39.079
are you.

20
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.000
Greetings, Pipe Man. I'm doing great. I hope you are.

21
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:43.959
I hope everybody out there is doing awesome.

22
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.760
Absolutely, And I gotta tell you that, you know, like

23
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.959
a lot of times when bands haven't had new music

24
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.640
in a long time, and they're like your old school

25
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.959
bands used to see when you're a teenager.

26
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.640
Sometimes you're like, oh, I hope this is good right now.

27
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.000
And then the minute I heard like I didn't even

28
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.799
have to hear ten seconds of it, I was like,

29
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.080
holy shit, this is definitely Dark Angel.

30
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.280
Excellent. Well, thank you very much, pipe Man. That is

31
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.919
definitely the uh, the approach we wanted. And one little

32
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.840
extra element of that being, you know, Dark Angel, is

33
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.039
the fact that our first single, the title track from

34
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.159
the record Extinction Level Event, that was penned by the

35
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.840
dearly departed Jim Dirkin, you know, the founder of Dark Angel.

36
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:41.039
So that is as dark Angel as one pure Dark

37
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.319
Angel as it comes, you know, at least musically. So

38
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.039
we're very fortunate in that regard, and it it just

39
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.360
worked out really really really cool that that you know,

40
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.280
we we lost Jim, but he left us with this

41
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.719
song and it is prime Dark Angel sounding to me

42
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.879
and way and so you know, it's just pretty pretty

43
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.800
awesome that this gets to be our our kind of

44
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.520
title track, our lead track, our you know, our lead

45
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.240
off kind of track. So so that's pretty good and

46
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.599
it's going to lead to you know, another pile of

47
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.680
kick ass metal songs, I think. So, Devin, we're really

48
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.599
excited about the future going.

49
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:22.759
To I love it.

50
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.479
And you know that now you brought up the song

51
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.360
he penned a like ten years ago, right, and how

52
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.479
is it so appropriate today in twenty twenty five, like

53
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.639
it's actually written for twenty and twenty five.

54
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.479
Well at least musically. Yes, you know, it's like I

55
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.560
remember he had a different title for it, and it

56
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.840
was it was an instrumental track when he when he

57
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.319
handed it over to me. But it was just like

58
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.039
this is so so crushing, you know, this is like,

59
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.080
this is so exciting, and it got me so excited

60
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.360
for like the writing process. And I've mentioned this in

61
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.919
other interviews with it, I just blurred it out of meat.

62
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.599
At the next interview I did, we're working on new material.

63
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.319
We're gonna get a new album out really soon. And

64
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.960
you know, and I hear that it's been like, you know,

65
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.639
people are like, release it already, get it out there.

66
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.400
You've been promising it for ten years. Shut up, and

67
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:19.360
you know, kind of thing. Understandable totally. But this, this

68
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.800
song really got me fired up to the point where,

69
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.839
you know, when when Dark Angel kind of we went

70
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.519
on our very very extended hiatus back in nineteen ninety two,

71
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.199
we had an album's worth of material and then so

72
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.800
you know, we had about twelve fifteen songs ready to

73
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.000
go for the next album, and we were working on

74
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.079
that at the time when when we just sort of dissolved,

75
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.319
there wasn't any animosity or anything. But we had a

76
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.759
whole number of songs and I still have a demo

77
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.480
of those songs, and I remember playing it for Jim

78
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.920
at one point and he was like, Oh my god,

79
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.439
that's so crushing. This is our next album. We got

80
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.839
our next album written, it's done. And that was about

81
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.439
the same time that he had laid what became extinction

82
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.040
level event on me. And I was like, but Jim,

83
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.360
let me tell you your your writing and the way

84
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.199
I you know, this is written pushing what thirty years ago.

85
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.519
I mean that it was cool for its time, but

86
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.600
I'm in a different, like way more aggressive place, and

87
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.879
you are as well. So how about okay, we we

88
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.920
do have that material that that's in the back pocket

89
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.519
sort of thing. But you know, you're writing crushing stuff.

90
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.279
I know I can write crushing stuff. Let's do this

91
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.399
together and let's see what we can do. Let's make

92
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.680
it very modern you know for us, you know, like

93
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.040
not modern, you know what I mean? Just like here's

94
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.319
where we are both at here in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,

95
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.319
twenty eighteen, twenty twenty twenty twenty five. So that's where

96
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.279
that that it. It kicked off quite an exciting period

97
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.839
of and very fruitful period. Oh I just turned sideways.

98
00:05:59.079 --> 00:05:59.800
Yeah, yeah, happen.

99
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.720
I don't know, buy don't you? Well, let me see

100
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.519
because I'm I'm doing it this way. Let's see what

101
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.759
I can do here to make anything sort of happen.

102
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.439
How do you fix this sort of stuff? Let me

103
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.680
let's see what happened if I do this. Yeah, because

104
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.000
this is not on my end, never go, but you're.

105
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.439
Black there, you got your back. Weird. We'll have my

106
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.360
engineer edit that part out.

107
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.959
Okay, well, and so there you go. It really it

108
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.879
led us to a really cool element of writing and

109
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.240
things like that. So there you go. And now we've

110
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.839
got a new We've got the new record. Uh, getting

111
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.920
ever closer to completion we are, you know, we're we're

112
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.680
in the final the homiest of stretches with the entire

113
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.439
completion of everything. So it's coming very soon, you know'll

114
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.079
be out before the end of the year. Absolutely nice.

115
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:50.879
I love it.

116
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.279
So I'm going to show you something because to prove

117
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.759
how excited I was about this.

118
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.079
So we'll see if you can see this.

119
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.800
This is my battle vest from right originally nineteen eighty one.

120
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.240
Okay, we gotta hold that job up there.

121
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.759
Yeah, I'm gonna put the mic down for a second.

122
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.079
You tell me what you see.

123
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:16.040
I can hear you. Wow, looking there, it looks and

124
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.839
it's your green screen is doing some crazy go you'll

125
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.720
see it when you look back at it. That looks great,

126
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.519
it says, all right there, yeah, excellent, Thank you Pike man.

127
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:26.680
That's awesome. I see that.

128
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.879
So there you go. That's pretty cool, right, awesome, man,

129
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.519
that was very very cool. I just brought that.

130
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.199
You know, I have had that in my closet since

131
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.720
the eighties, and you know, I brought it out. I

132
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.720
was doing radio coverage at ship Rock this year. Oh

133
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.959
I just I just got this idea. I'm like, you

134
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.319
know what, let me do this now for interviews because

135
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.639
I go and I do you know, coverage at festivals

136
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.040
all over the US, UK and Europe. I've never brought

137
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.680
this out, so I brought it to ship Rock and

138
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.560
then people were like, wow, look it is like there's

139
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.680
like bands on there that don't even exist anymore.

140
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.600
Right, you know, because all of them.

141
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:09.480
But that's really cool.

142
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:15.959
So so yeah, so what about live shows.

143
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.800
Well, we have been doing a lot more live shows,

144
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:22.480
especially over the last decade and and like, for instance

145
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.959
about well, I guess last weekend, I guess it was

146
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.800
what not summer a wee get week and a half

147
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.519
ago or something, we played a show in South Paulo, Brazil,

148
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.039
and yeah, it does. We've done a lot of South

149
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.879
American work and that show in South Paulo was was

150
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.519
very notable for the fact that our guitarist Eric Meyer,

151
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.120
he he missed his first flight and they canceled every

152
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.440
other flight after that, so we had as we had

153
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.200
to play the show as a four piece, and our

154
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.960
guitarist Laura Christine Boy, she stepped up. We found out

155
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.159
in rehearsal, Yeah, because we were at rehearsal in South Paulo.

156
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.159
We had one day to rehearse because I was coming

157
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.759
directly from Europe straight down there, and so we had

158
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.279
one night of rehearsal. We're finding out at the time.

159
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.360
You know, we got the text thread going and Eric's like,

160
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.039
you're gonna make this flight. You know this this this

161
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.600
one is not you know, he had already missed the

162
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.879
flight the night before, and you know, the next flight

163
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.080
is in the process of getting canceled. Like both Laura

164
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.639
and I are pretty seasoned travelers, so she was the

165
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.000
one to saying, hey, when they're delaying this flight. When

166
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.879
they just pushed it back and then pushed it back again,

167
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.519
She's like, hey, they're going to cancel that flight, get

168
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.720
on it to Our manager tried our best to get Eric.

169
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.559
They tried every single thing they could, and it just

170
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.840
looked like it just turned out Eric was not gonna

171
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.080
be able to make it. And so right right then

172
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.080
and there, right right a rehearsal, she kind of put

173
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.679
everything on her shoulders and said, look, okay, she just

174
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.480
kind of figure out all Eric's parts on the fly.

175
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.200
That's bad ass.

176
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.080
Songs where he he does the intro. Okay, well she's

177
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.039
doing it now. She's just working it all out as

178
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.879
we're going. So and the show was so crushing. It

179
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.919
was so amazing. You can see the youtubes, you can

180
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.679
see the the you know, just all the elements of

181
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.799
the show. It was so tight, so killer, so crushing.

182
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.159
We it was. It could have been. It was never

183
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.200
gonna be a disaster. It could have been a little thin.

184
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:18.399
Missing two guitars are our sound man Ak one of

185
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.720
the best in the business, if not the best metal

186
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.399
sound man in the business. He made a sound crushing.

187
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.519
Lara did great, Ron did great, Gons did great. I

188
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.559
did whatever it is I do and the show came

189
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:36.559
out fantastic. Such a great challenge to Okay, we got

190
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.639
to be a four piece. We've done that before thirty

191
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.559
something years ago. But we'll try it again and we'll

192
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.399
see how it works. And we got a different element

193
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.480
of that fourth piece, so it all worked out great.

194
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.159
That was incredible. That was really exciting show. Check it

195
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.919
out on youtubes. It turned out really good.

196
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.720
That was Begers Open Air, right.

197
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.120
Bangers open Air. Yeah, what a great festival.

198
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:56.279
Man.

199
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.919
That was really cool. It was great, great sight. You know,

200
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.360
it was kind of in the heart of like a

201
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.960
business sort of district, but there are tons of folks

202
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.159
there and tons of tons of great bands. You know.

203
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.759
I got to I got to sort of meet again

204
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:14.440
mister bif Beeifer, you know, legend from Saxon, And yes,

205
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.000
I'm a big fan of Saxon, dating back to the

206
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.840
day and even the new Saxon, the later Saxon stuff

207
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.919
that's come along. They are laying it down heavy still,

208
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.360
you know, so that's pretty good. And you know, so

209
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.840
at the beginning of June, we have some more Dark

210
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.080
Angel shows coming up over in Europe. We're playing some

211
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.159
festivals and we're doing some Darkness Descends materials.

212
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.840
He right there looking at the weird I think, I

213
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.399
think one of the ones I'm covering your are you

214
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.120
playing at hellfest.

215
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.240
That is going to be with Death Clock.

216
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:51.519
Oh, okay, that's right, that's right.

217
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:53.919
And so we have we have some we have some

218
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.879
Dark Angel than Death Clock than Dark Angel, like, so

219
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.200
it's gonna be like kind of a we get to

220
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.679
share the same bus. I do know that, Like Dark

221
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.960
Angel has a tour bus and then death Clock comes

222
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.279
in while Dark Angel takes off, Death Clock takes over

223
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.799
the pros and then Angel comes back and we finish

224
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.840
off the next couple of rounds. We got some shows

225
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:19.080
in Germany, in in the Netherlands and we got four.

226
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:25.360
Dynamo, Right, are you playing Dynamo or I think.

227
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.960
Our Netherlands show might be you know.

228
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:32.279
Yeah, they all roll around and exactly.

229
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.240
One thing I do know that is starting in June,

230
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.080
Like I think it's like June eighth through like June

231
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.519
eleventh or twelfth or something. We are playing our first

232
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.120
shows in England and quite some time, and we've done

233
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.000
a couple of festivals here and there, but we're doing

234
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.840
our first headlining shows in England in so many years.

235
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.720
It's been since ninety one one something like that. So

236
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:57.159

A brutal, dark angel metal heck yeah, man, that's what

246
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:23.440
I'm talking about.

247
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:24.840
I love it. I love it.

248
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.080
I also I want my listeners to hear the story

249
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.440
about wake Up to Blood, because that's crazy, that's fun,

250
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:33.480
eld story.

251
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.840
I was come up right here, you know, I'm sitting

252
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.080
on well, not that drumk kit. That's my brand new

253
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.320
drum kit from Pearl. Holy Moly. Take a look at this.

254
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.000
I know I'm going off on a tangent. This is

255
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.960
so crushing, it is so amazing. It is a reference one,

256
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:55.000
their newest, hottest best set. This is the most kick

257
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.600
ass sounding drum set I've ever played in my life.

258
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.000
This is so amazing Pearl reference one. Do yourself a favorite.

259
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.039
Pick one of those up. This is the most aggressive, meanest,

260
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.919
just most violent sounding drum set I've ever played in

261
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.519
my life. I'm so excited about this. And look at

262
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.159
that thing I just I think eats light. I call

263
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.639
it the light eater.

264
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.080
I love it.

265
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.120
All the light. Man. It's it's Matt Black with with

266
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.879
black nickel hardware, you know. And you got a little

267
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.759
jack in the background there that looks pretty cool. But well,

268
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.919
all it was was Eric Eric Meyer, a guitarist. He

269
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.519
had showed up one day and he had like he

270
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.440
all these like the brutal, like the scars on his arm,

271
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.799
you know, from a couple of days ago. He's like, man,

272
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.960
you know what, you know, the the dog jumped on

273
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.039
the bed, you know last night or whatever it was

274
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.320
the night before last, and you know I was in

275
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.799
the middle of the night and then whatever, come on,

276
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:55.960
don't get off the bed. Or whatever he was saying,

277
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.639
and you know, I woke you know, woke up the

278
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.120
next morning. I'm covered in blood, you know and all,

279
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.159
and I was like, woke up the Blood. What a

280
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.120
great songtitle, you know, a dog attack and then there

281
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.759
you go, you woke up the Blood. I of course,

282
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.000
into Dark Angel fashion. We turned it into some apocalytic

283
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.279
into the world kind of story and stuff.

284
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:15.039
So I love it.

285
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.879
So that's pretty cool. I'm really excited about that song.

286
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.000
That's every song on the record. Look, I know, I'm

287
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:23.679
very close to it, so I got to kind of

288
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.399
maintain a little bit of distance, but I'm very close

289
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:32.600
to every song on the album, and that one I'm

290
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.600
super close to, you know, Like so many songs on

291
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.960
this record were written with Jim Diurkins influence on my

292
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.320
guitar playing because he's nice, huge influence on my Dark

293
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.879
Angel style of writing. He was my first guitar hero.

294
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.120
And having Lara Christine in the band, she drops her

295
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.279
influences all over it, her style, her vibe. I've been

296
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.799
working with Lara Christine for fifteen years and on like

297
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.080
we have a project together too, and her writing on

298
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.039
that is incredible. Like I'm just like dad is so good.

299
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.720
Like she she's written all the best riffs on the record,

300
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.559
you know. And that's like, as a matter of fact,

301
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.120
when I remember I've played Laura and I little demo

302
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.840
that we made, I've played it for like under five

303
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.440
people in the world, and Jim Durkin was one of

304
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.200
those folks, and I remember playing it for him one time.

305
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.440
He's like and he just slaps the table. He's like,

306
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.200
my god, this is so amazing. Laura is my favorite

307
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.960
guitarist ever, Like, oh my god, listen to these rifts.

308
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.279
I'm like, I know right, she's you know, she she's

309
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.519
got the riff writing mojo. Definitely. He's like, heck, yeah,

310
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.720
she's my favorite guitarist. And it was kind of the

311
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:43.240
playing of that demo that led Jim in his way

312
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.919
to make the decision to make Laura Christine his his

313
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:53.480
you know, his replacement for the live shows anyway, because

314
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.879
we knew the ogibid said, look, there's gonna be times

315
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.639
when I'm not gonna be able to make every every show,

316
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.960
so you know, and he came to her after one

317
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.359
of our shows, and that's where the whole process really

318
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.240
got started of her ending up being in Dark Angel was.

319
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:13.039
It was Jim's decision. He made it right there. He's like, look,

320
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:15.640
I've just played my last show with Dark Angel. I

321
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.000
want you to be my replacement. And you know, she's

322
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.119
looking at me like wait what, She's looking at him

323
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.400
like have you guys talked about this? I'm like, no,

324
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.759
this is this is news to me. First of all,

325
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.640
I'm like crush that Jim is like announcing this is

326
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.279
his last show. Fortunately it was not his last show

327
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.240
at that time, but he's already putting it out there

328
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.759
that like, look when it does become my last show,

329
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.240
you know, we ended up doing some more stuff with

330
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:44.359
Jim awesome, and you know, when it does come time

331
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.240
to where I do got to, you know, hang up

332
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.279
the pick and hang up the strap, then I want

333
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:51.440
you to be here with me. So he went to

334
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.559
all the guys and they took the vote. I had

335
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.720
nothing to do with it. So that's that's where I

336
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.400
like it. You know, it's like, good, you guys made

337
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.559
the decision. We have a crush killer guitarist who writes

338
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.480
great rips, so she's dropping in her style all over

339
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.000
the record her and let alone the rifts that she

340
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:10.319
ended up writing for it where I'm not gonna bide

341
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.200
and she's like, hey, try this. It's like yes, So

342
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:17.039
that's pretty cool. The little baby introduction to the writing

343
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.039
partnership that is, you know, Christine and Hogland kind of thing.

344
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.000
And we've always had writing partnerships in Dark Angel. It's

345
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.759
always been you know, Jim Dirkin and myself and bred

346
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.960
Erickson and myself, and later Chris McCarthy and myself, and

347
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:33.799
so moving forward, Lara, Christine and myself. So that's for

348
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.759
the future. But right here, right now, extinction level event

349
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.880
is coming and it's got a whole lot of really

350
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.160
really a killer moments on it. For me, I think

351
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.960
it's killer. I think I'm a pretty good This is

352
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.079
just my opinion of myself. I think I'm a pretty

353
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:54.319
good judge of what is kick ass metal and what

354
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.880
is average and what is not so good. And if

355
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.480
you look at my track record of our ones that

356
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.559
I've been on and bands that I've worked with, not

357
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.079
a lot. I cannot think of any duds in any

358
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.480
of my catalogs. So I've been a part of some

359
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.000
really kick ass metal from Dark Angel to Death the

360
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.720
Strapping and Lad the Testament to it just goes on

361
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:19.440
and on and on.

362
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.079
No, which blew my mind that you did, didn't you do?

363
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.079
Blacking vocals for Evil has no boundaries.

364
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.480
I did, as a matter of fact, absolutely, and and

365
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.720
you know, and as a matter of fact, that was

366
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.839
that was my idea. Yeah, yeah, because we were in

367
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.920
the studio, I was. I was friends with Slayer and

368
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:42.960
sort of working for them at the time. I was

369
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.839
just doing lights for him. It was, you know, they

370
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.480
were they were a local band, the recording Yeah album

371
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.240
and that sort of stuff, so and we were just pals.

372
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.119
You know. I was a big Slayer fan. And this

373
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:57.160
was at the time when they had they had about

374
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.279
a solid following up about thirty people in.

375
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:03.880
Los Angeles, one of them. I was the first show

376
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:06.480
ever and then everyone after that.

377
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.319
Absolutely. So you know them from like the Scorpions era

378
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.119
phase when they kind of drifted into their Judas Priest,

379
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:16.720
a lot of cover songs and all that. And I

380
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.200
remember the first time I saw him, they as.

381
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:20.200
The New Evil.

382
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.960
Era of Slayer, with the with the full studs and

383
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.720
the panagrams and the you know a little bit of

384
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.559
a eye makeup that they were wearing. I remember they

385
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:31.799
did a cover of Highway Star by Deep Purple, and

386
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:35.440
I was shocked. I mean I was fourteen fifteen at

387
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.400
the time, so but I knew the leads in that

388
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:42.599
song really well. Everybody knew, you know, the album Machine had.

389
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.880
Everybody knew Highway Star, and Jeff and Carrie pulled off

390
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.319
those leads to a t. You know. Carrie did the

391
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.279
somebody did the the keyboard solo, and somebody else did

392
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.960
the Richie Blackmore solo, and to my ears, they were

393
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.119
spot on perfect. Maybe they weren't, but to me, I

394
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.839
was like, these guys aren't the new There's KK Downing,

395
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.000
there's Glenn Timpton. These guys are the new, right.

396
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.119
It was the same kind of thing too that the

397
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.039
battling of the axes absolutely.

398
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:19.440
You know. So they were they were tracking their first

399
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:23.799
record and it came time to you know, it was

400
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.440
time for them to do the backing vocals for for

401
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.279
Evil Has No Boundaries and live at the time, there

402
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.079
was a mic set up in front of Jeff, a

403
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.119
mic set up in front of Carry, and they would

404
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.319
get up there, you know, and it would be like evil.

405
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.440
My words, do evil?

406
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:40.839
You know.

407
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.359
It just wasn't like really like menacing. So I was

408
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:45.960
just like, hey, guys, you ever thought about, you know,

409
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.160
there was there was Carrie and Tom sitting on the

410
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.920
couch over at at track Record studio and there's Bill

411
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.079
Metoyer in the background doing his thing, and it's it's

412
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:55.559
time to do the vocals. I was like, hey, have

413
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.519
you guys ever thought about maybe getting a big gang

414
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.279
of dudes in there and getting a bunch of dude's

415
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.200
going And they were like, they looked at each other,

416
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.640
They're like, great idea, No time like the present. Everybody,

417
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.400
you know, get the boat the booth and and Johnny

418
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.079
Riah was one of the guys. That was Jeff Hanneman.

419
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.240
There was myself, Johnny and my buddy Joel Pacillas and

420
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.960
a number of you know a few other guys. And

421
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.279
Johnny was remarking to me a couple of years back,

422
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:28.000
he was like, remember they only had one set of headphones.

423
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:30.240
They didn't have like eight sets of headphones for everybody.

424
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:32.319
So I had to sit there with the headphones in

425
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.960
my you know, we opened up the ears and we

426
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.119
just barely hear, like the AM radio and all that,

427
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.799
and so I was like, I forgot about that. That's

428
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.920
really fun. But I do remember leaving the booth and

429
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.440
I've said this many times. I was like, I just

430
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.519
turned you know, I just said, I sang Devo, and

431
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:51.920
there's anemon standing a right next to me. He's like,

432
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:58.680
I sang Weebles, and I swear to god, if you

433
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:02.200
get the headphones on, listen you concentrate. Really, you could

434
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:04.759
hear a guy going Devo. You can hear another guy

435
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.799
going Weebels on it. So there you go, the silly story.

436
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:08.480
But that's pro.

437
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:09.440
I love it.

438
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:15.000
That's that's that's fucking like. That is og metal right

439
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:19.559
right there, right and Dark Angel is too. And I

440
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.960
love this new music and it is as brutal as ever.

441
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.960
Tell everybody how they can get the new music, how

442
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.599
they can connect to you guys on the web, socials everything.

443
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.160
Well, we do have all the social media that you

444
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.240
can you can think of, you know, we've got all

445
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.200
the facebooks and Instagrams and Twitters and all that. And

446
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.799
I admit I'm not the most social media savvy person.

447
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.720
But any sort of Dark Angel information you might want

448
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.880
to hear or see or know of the YouTube channels,

449
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.559
all that sort of stuff, we have all of that.

450
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.880
If you either go to my neo gene Hoagland, whatever

451
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:55.200
is out there, or else, Reversed Records, dot Com, their

452
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.759
Instagram there, that's that's our that's our label and management.

453
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.759
Just check those out, you know, like you can. You

454
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.400
can keep yourselves up to date on all things Dark

455
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:10.960
Angel through those media's there. And we do have before this,

456
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.400
before this June run for a Dark Angel, we're hoping

457
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.400
to have the second single out and that's gonna be

458
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.400
that's gonna be a crusher. It's like if you if

459
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.279
you dub the first stuff, you're gonna be like, yeah,

460
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.799
now I'm so locked in, you know, like that's that's

461
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.799
the way I feel about this record. I think it is.

462
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:37.400
There are so many strong tracks on just strong, strong, strong, strong, strong,

463
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:39.960
so you could jumble them up in any way you want,

464
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.880
and it's all gonna be a kick ass record my opinion.

465
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.599
Only if other people agree with me, great. If you don't,

466
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.559
hey man, you're you're gonna make yourselves heard somehow, you know,

467
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:50.920
not by me, but you know you'll you'll make you

468
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:54.079
you'll make your voices heard. So so there you go.

469
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.559
So it's just it's a very exciting time for Dark Angel.

470
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:01.240
We're having a blast where where for the new record.

471
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.160
We know that twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six

472
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.319
and all coming together is going to be a pretty hearty,

473
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:10.759
busy year for us all. So you know, we'd love

474
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.559
for everybody else to be a part of it. Man,

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:14.880

476
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.480

484
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:44.559
haven't done your job at the show. That's all that.

485
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:45.559
That's for sure.

486
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.119
My most memorable show of any show ever I've been

487
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.640
to thousands was at the Sun Valley Sportsman's launch.

488
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:54.400
You remember that show.

489
00:25:54.599 --> 00:26:03.680
That was with Slayer, Possessed Suicide all Savage Grace.

490
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:04.200
Savage Grace.

491
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:08.000
That was and descendence first crossover show ever where you

492
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.000
had punk and metal ads in the same room.

493
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.039
Right Sun, I was thinking Peko Rivera. Yeah, Sun Valley

494
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:16.799
was Savage Grace, Dark Angel, Possessed their first show in

495
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.519
La I Believe, and Corrosion of Conformity.

496
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:22.759
Yeah, pretty peper.

497
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.240
January twenty fifth, nineteen eighty five. Don't ask me how

498
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:27.640
I know this.

499
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:31.440
That was pretty fucking good because that that is right

500
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:33.759
on the money, and I wouldn't have remembered that. So

501
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.559
that's that's pretty freaking good. And it was, Oh my god,

502
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:40.920
that's my most memorable show that I've ever been to ever.

503
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:44.480
It was insane killers way in the best way.

504
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:46.559
What a great show that was, you know, getting to

505
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.160
I had already kind of met the Possessed guys, but

506
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.160
getting to know them, you know, like them coming down.

507
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:56.079
We played the very next day Possessed and Dark Angel.

508
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:59.880
We also played at Radio City in Orange County with Slayer.

509
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:02.240
Yeah, that's true, the.

510
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:05.000
Sweatiest show I'd ever been to. Man, damn near past.

511
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:08.119

The next night with Slayer was my fourth show and

517
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:24.880
I was. I was a dumb dumb playing in blue

518
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:27.799
jeans and I had yet to play a show that

519
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:31.920
was so packed and so sweaty that blue jeans.

520
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:34.559
Are not a smart move, buddy, you know.

521
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:36.720
But I remember having to take my jeans off in

522
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.920
the middle of the show and all that sort of stuff.

523
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:41.440
Oh man, it was crazy. But yeah, I remember that

524
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.119
