PipemanRadio Interviews Horror/Industrial Metal Band Horror Scene

Show Notes
Transcript

Pipeman interviews horror/industrial metal band Horror Scene. Our music blends aggressive metal with horror storytelling, characters, and cinematic themes. We’d love to come on your podcast to talk horror influences, creating dark characters through music, and the intersection of horror films and metal.

Welcome to Your Hell

Horror Scene emerged from the underground of Harrisburg, PA with one mission: to turn fear into music. Formed by a group of musicians obsessed with horror cinema, psychological thrillers, serial killers and the darker edges of industrial metal and rock, the band fuses theatrical storytelling with heavy, atmospheric soundscapes. Their songs explore themes of dread, hauntings, obsession, and the monsters—real or imagined—that live inside us all.

On stage, Horror Scene transforms the venue into their own chilling universe. Fog, distorted visuals, blood-red lights, and immersive sound design create a multisensory experience that blurs the line between concert and horror film. Their electrifying live shows have earned them a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to the adrenaline, the spectacle, and the catharsis. Touring the US with such acts like Soulfly has helped the band have a better understanding of how to adjust to a crowd to give them the best entrainment experience the band has to offer.

Musically, Horror Scene pulls inspiration from industrial metal, gothic rock, modern metalcore, and classic horror film scores. The result is a sound that blends cinematic tension with explosive energy: pounding drums, razor-sharp guitars, haunting synths, and vocals that shift from melodic to monstrous. Working with Producer Daniel Malsch has helped the band develop their sound into something unique with a twist.

1
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:05.400
Hi, you live.

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:07.759
Don to the censure.

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.279
For Wow, pray you.

4
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:32.880
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

5
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.359
Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with

6
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.799
our next guest that has some badass music and so

7
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.920
let's welcome to show horror scene.

8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.000
Hey, how's it going. Thanks for having me on, appreciate it.

9
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.000
Hey great to have you.

10
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:52.320
And uh so, I what I love about your music

11
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.479
is not only the appearance wise. I do love, like

12
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.439
you know, people that go way above to call duty

13
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.960
when it comes to creativity. Anybody can just get up

14
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.840
there and just play and stand still, but it takes

15
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.519
it takes a whole nother level to give a performance,

16
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.680
because that's what a live show is a performance for sure,

17
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:20.359
you know. But I also love even more that your music.

18
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.120
I talk about this all the time too. It blends genres.

19
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:28.840
Like to me, the best bands nowadays, specially in the

20
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.879
metal area, is when they blend all types of metal

21
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.120
genres or other genres, because if you're only very specific,

22
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.319
like they have these genres, they are so stupidly specific

23
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.400
that it's you know, the music is just formulas at

24
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.319
that point. There's like no uniqueness about it. So it does,

25
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.879
you know, they used to say when in the eighties

26
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.239
that it all sounded the same, but it didn't now

27
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.439
the people I argued with about that, I'm like, yeah,

28
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.359
you're right, it does kind of sound at you know,

29
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.040
the ones now, not then, But then dance like you

30
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.080
don't because you are bringing other influences in and it's

31
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.479
not just oh, we can only do this type of metal,

32
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.599
you know, right. Yeah, So tell us a little bit

33
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.560
about your creative process and how things work with the

34
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.960
band on blending these genres and bringing everything together to

35
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.120
make horror scene.

36
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.360
I mean, our process is pretty easy.

37
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.800
For the most part, Like somebody will come come up

38
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.080
with a guitar riff and everybody will just kind of

39
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.039
work off of that, and sometimes like well, you know,

40
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.439
we'll come up with a chorus, the pre chorus, get

41
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.280
the verse down, and then sometimes while we're putting things together,

42
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.560
like hey, what we played here in the verse is cool,

43
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.319
but it doesn't really fit this. Let's pull that out,

44
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.719
but we can use that somewhere else. And that's pretty

45
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.280
much how that all works, Like, you know, we'll just

46
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.479
blend it all together, and then you know, using the

47
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.520
keys and synth and that techno and and and dance

48
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.560
stuff that we throw in there. It's just it's just fun,

49
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:05.840
like messing everything together.

50
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.759
I like the keyword fun because if you're a musician

51
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.280
and you're not having fun, this is the wrong industry.

52
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.439
Because a lot of it is a bunch of shit.

53
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.840
So if you're not having fun in the creative process, right,

54
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:22.599
where are you having fun?

55
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:23.919
I love that.

56
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.879
What was that moment in time that you thought to yourself,

57
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.159
this is what I need to do? Like, what was

58
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.199
that one thing that hooked you in when you were young?

59
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:38.759
I just music in.

60
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.240
General, you know, growing up my parents listening to you know,

61
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:47.039
Billy joel And and Elton John, you know, bands like that,

62
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.560
and like, I was always fascinated with how music just

63
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.199
came together. So you know, as a young young kid,

64
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.560
I started off playing violin and I went to trombone

65
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.520
and then I turned to drums and I haven't moved

66
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.719
back since. So yeah, I mean, for me, I mean

67
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.159
that aha moment, if you will. I was started at

68
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.439
a very very young age. It's just the whole creative

69
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.439
process behind it is what really lashed me on to it.

70
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.400
I love hearing that you went from trombone to drums

71
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.759
and I say, that because you know, like I was

72
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.879
in school, band, school orchestra. I played drums for ten years,

73
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.439
so I was in the percussion of the orchestra and

74
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.399
I played everything in percussion, and then I used to

75
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.839
look over at the other kids that were playing trumpet

76
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.079
and trombone. I'm like, oh, I might want to try that.

77
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:34.199
That looks pretty cool.

78
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.120
So it's kind of cool that you went the other way.

79
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.759
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's oddly enough though, when I

80
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.000
went to trombone, I forget what grade that was, I

81
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.519
want to say sixth or seventh grade, and we were

82
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.279
allowed to pick an instrument.

83
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.720
I initially wanted to start out on drums with.

84
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.240
The music teacher that we had at the times, like

85
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.879
I have too many drummers here, why don't you try trombone.

86
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.879
So it wasn't even like anything I even wanted to do.

87
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:08.040
Sometimes that's how you know you find your your path though, right, Oh.

88
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:09.759
For sure, I will tell you. I will say one thing.

89
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.519
They'll start, you know, going to a brass instrument like

90
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.439
the trombone, like my favorite, uh cleft out of base

91
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:17.000
and trebles.

92
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.120
Bas I love bass, cleft all stuff.

93
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.360
Yeah, nice, And you know it's funny because I think

94
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.800
I've changed throughout the years, because I've always been like

95
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.360
a very like when I listen to music younger, I

96
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.800
would like put the treble up to the max, and

97
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.879
I didn't care as much about the bass as the treble.

98
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.720
And now I'm kind of like, no, I like it

99
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.480
more balanced now. And I've even you know, it's funny

100
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.199
I go and I do you know radio coverage at

101
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.600
music festivals all over to US, UK, Europe, and I

102
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:55.279
never wear earplugs like I don't like them. I don't want,

103
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.240
I don't and I think it doesn't make it. I

104
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.720
think it makes the music worse. And I've stood up

105
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:06.480
against motorheads speakers nice with my ear up to it,

106
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.319
you know, and like I still hear pretty well.

107
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.040
So I'm okay at this point.

108
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.920
But uh, there was one festival I can't remember what

109
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.920
it was, but one man I have like thousands and

110
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.600
thousands of sets I've been to that the treble actually

111
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.319
hurt my ears. I was up in the photo pit

112
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.279
and they had that treble so high that I literally

113
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.959
like my ears were in pain. And that never happens

114
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.360
to me. Like I could be up there in the

115
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.680
photo pit or anywhere closed, I could stand right next

116
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.480
to the speaker, doesn't bother me at all.

117
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.199
So maybe that is a.

118
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.360
Thing that like, maybe over time your ears get more

119
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.759
sensitive to the treble than the base, because I don't

120
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.000
think the base really affects your ears the same way

121
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.680
a treble does.

122
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.120
No, probably not, because I mean it's trouble.

123
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.759
That's all your high end, like all the high end stuff,

124
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.319
and at least you know, mids and bass, that's.

125
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.920
All you know. Obviously your lower end things.

126
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.279
But yeah, I just always, you know, like I said,

127
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.360
doing trombone, I just always loved the bass cleft, uh

128
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.560
after that because for me, like I like to feel everything.

129
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:19.120
Yeah, totally, like especially bands.

130
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.959
He's like eight eight drops, I love that.

131
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.839
I love all of that, Like you spend its times

132
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.240
right like they hit like a floor tom or something

133
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.800
at the same time, and eight o eight drops.

134
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.480
I love how that that messes up.

135
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.079
Well, it's funny you should say that because I was

136
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.319
a concert during the summer that I brought my brother

137
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.879
and always was complaining the whole time. Is because the

138
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.160
bass was like beating in his chest and I had

139
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.240
the exact opposite feeling. I'm like, man, I love it.

140
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.839
Feels good. It feels like I'm part of the music

141
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:48.759
about it.

142
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.639
Yeah right, really.

143
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:58.439
So what was it that made you turn to You

144
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.079
know a lot of us metal head are into horror

145
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.319
and stuff, but what made you turn to combining those

146
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:06.800
two loves into one?

147
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.480
So when this band first started, where we were actually

148
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.120
operating under a different name. When this band first started,

149
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.879
we were called Suicide Puppets. Up until recently, I want

150
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:19.959
to say, about four or five months ago, did we

151
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.839
do a whole rebrand a horror scene. Now, even under

152
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:29.639
Suicide Puppets, everything was still horror related, you know, murder, killing, death,

153
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.279
fun stuff like that. As far as our lyrics go,

154
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.279
I was It's just one of those things. Like us

155
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:36.679
as a band, it just made sense.

156
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.519
Like we all loved horror, we all loved metal, we

157
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.879
all have industrial metal, and we just kind of like

158
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.240
smashed everything together.

159
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:44.919
But like this is who we're going to be because

160
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.000
this is everything that we love.

161
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.360
I love it.

162
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.279
And it's so funny you said what you did, because

163
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.480
my okay, before you, I did my live showing them.

164
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.080
Before that, I did another interview and that band did

165
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.720
a whole rebranding. So today's the day of rebranding. But listen,

166
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.399
the most successful rebranding of all time was Black Sabbath.

167
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.039
You know, they were originally Earth and then like, could

168
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.039
you imagine if they were still a cold Earth. I

169
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.759
don't think they would be as relevant today. Nobody would

170
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.399
care not Yeah, I mean.

171
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.000
Well, the rebrand was almost out of necessity as well.

172
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.559
Yeah, with suicide in our band name, we were getting

173
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.240
smashed in algorithms. Google wouldn't even let us advertise anymore,

174
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.360
so we had to do a rebrand. But you're right,

175
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.159
I think this is this This name fits us a

176
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.879
little bit better. Plus we have like I think there's

177
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.000
eight films right now that are the two of them

178
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.799
are out, but the other six are in post production

179
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.159
that features our music and they're all horror films.

180
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.679
So it works out.

181
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.799
So we need I think what we need in twenty

182
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.639
twenty six or twenty twenty seven is a tour of

183
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.919
Zombie Ice nine kills, And you guys.

184
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.919
I am one thousand percent on board with that idea.

185
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:12.720
Right right, oh man? But I do love, like I

186
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.639
said in the beginning, have did it combined? Like people

187
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:19.000
there are haters on that, Like I'm old school from

188
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.039
the eighties, so a lot of my old school metal

189
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.279
head friends are like.

190
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.879
I hate the bands pretty mess today, It's stupid, and

191
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.120
I'm like, no, I think it's kind of cool.

192
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:29.440
Man.

193
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.159
It just makes it makes for a better show. And

194
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.000
I've even thought about myself. Okay, so I thought about

195
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.399
myself because I've interviewed a bunch of people that wear

196
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.320
masks or makeup, and then when I see him without him,

197
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.120
I'm like, oh, well that's.

198
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:47.679
Why you do that.

199
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:53.480
So I'm like, I'm like, uh, you know, I'm thinking myself. Okay,

200
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.759
I'm fifty nine years old. You know I could wear

201
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.399
a mask, start a band and just get really big

202
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.279
like sleep Token, and take my mask off and say

203
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.799
ha ha, fuckers, I'm sixty years old.

204
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.639
I mean, well that's I mean, that's the beauty behind

205
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.480
it though, like you know, like you said, like when

206
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.279
we initially, when we started out, we didn't.

207
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:18.759
Do any of the face paint and all that stuff.

208
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:23.440
And of course, like sometimes when we run ads, like recently,

209
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:25.759
we were running an ad because we dropped a single

210
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.519
back on January second, a song called Yau, and we

211
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.000
had run an ad for it because our song previously

212
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.360
that Welcome to Your Hell breached number sixteen on the

213
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:40.279
Metal contraband Top fifty Metal charts, so we were kind

214
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.559
of promoting to it.

215
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.960
At one shot said, hey, you know chart climbing metal

216
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:45.480
band whatever.

217
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.960
I forget how it was worded at this point, and

218
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.039
it was sent out there and like you should have

219
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.360
seen the hate comments like oh, gimmick y band, it's

220
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.919
already been done, blah blah blah.

221
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.679
It's like I never understood that.

222
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.720
Like if you don't like something, that's fine, but like

223
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.799
what really compels you to like just throw so much hate?

224
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:06.600
You know what I mean?

225
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:08.759
Yeah, you're listen.

226
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:14.639
Most of my show today, my live show was about

227
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.600
how ridiculous people are being with the bad bunny thing

228
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.000
at the super Bowl set aside the politics or any

229
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.039
of that shit, Like what do you care? Then't tune out,

230
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.759
don't watch the fifteen minutes of the halftime show, Like

231
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.399
who give? Like there's play a halftime shows that I

232
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.080
didn't want to watch. I don't care. It didn't bother

233
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.200
me enough to throw hate, you know, It's like, so

234
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.360
what switch to something else?

235
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:42.519
You know? They had all these alternatives, so go watch

236
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:44.320
that alternative? Who cares?

237
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.399
You know? But like I don't know why it's such

238
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.279
a big deal. Like it's stupid that everything's getting to

239
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.360
be such a big deal and music should be such

240
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.720
a big deal. My other peeve is like where they

241
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.480
say people that are musician and shouldn't have a voice.

242
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.000
Uh, it's the exact.

243
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.759
Opposite, morons, That's just what I'm gonna say, Like, of

244
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.480
course they should have a voice. They are also people

245
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.960
that can exercise freem of speech and if they want

246
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.879
to speak their mind about things, that's our prerogative.

247
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.039
All music since the beginning of time that wasn't pop

248
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:23.960
music did that, you know.

249
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:29.399
Right, Rock has always done that, you know, spoke up

250
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:30.320
about things.

251
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.559
You know, you don't have.

252
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.759
To agree with it, don't listen you don't like it

253
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.840
to your point, I don't get why people waste their

254
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.519
breath with hate. Like, if you hate it, I'm cool,

255
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:44.639
keep it to yourself.

256
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:50.159
Yeah right, you know, what do you do?

257
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:50.679
You know?

258
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.519
But I think no matter what you do, you're going

259
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.519
to get it. I see it with the festivals too.

260
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:01.120
We went for two years with no live music festivals

261
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.000
came back. I'm like, oh man, this is gonna be

262
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.000
great because all those people that were bitching all the

263
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.559
time won't be bitching anymore because they just realize what

264
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.279
it's like to not have live music, they're still bitching.

265
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.399
Like it just blows my mind. I love the ones

266
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:22.440
that when they're going to a festival and one band

267
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.200
drops out for whatever reason, they're like, oh, it's the

268
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.840
only reason I was going to a festival.

269
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.919
Well, that's a stupid idea. Go to their concert.

270
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:34.120
Then I go to festivals to discover new music, Like

271
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.440
they don't play their regular set at a festival. If

272
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.840
you're only going for one band, go to their concert.

273
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:40.759
You'll be better off.

274
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.000
Yeah, how about it. And that's an expensive ticket for

275
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.399
one band. If you think about it.

276
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.279
You know what I mean, no doubt, And like why

277
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.639
would you miss other bands? How would you know about

278
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.759
the one band you're going to see if you didn't

279
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.240
see them for the first time, Like some of my

280
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.600
favorite bands, I didn't know who they were. And that's

281
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.080
the way it was in the eighties too, Like that's

282
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:03.559
where stuff like what you're doing with all the entertainment

283
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.919
performance part of it. It's like, listen, we couldn't hear

284
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.960
music before we bought it, so we went by the

285
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.600
album cover and gigs. I remember the first club gig

286
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.600
I ever went to. My dad moved me from New

287
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.320
Jersey to LA in nineteen eighty if you can imagine

288
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.480
a time to move to La Okay. And so I

289
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.639
saw this ad for this band playing at the Roxy

290
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.080
on the Sunset Strip. I had never been to a

291
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:38.720
club show ever, and I was and I went just

292
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.919
because of the way they looked. Now this was before

293
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.080
they ever had an album, so they were kind of

294
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.720
like horror punk at the time. And that was Motley

295
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:51.440
Crue And I mean, like I remember going to that show.

296
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.120
I'm like, I'm never going to a real concert again

297
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.840
because to me, equayed the real concerts were boring.

298
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.440
This was exciting. There was a lot of.

299
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.600
Going on in a lot of performance and all that,

300
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.879
you know. And then the second club show I ever did,

301
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.759
similar type of scenario. I saw this ad in band

302
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:17.559
magazine and the headliner their picture was there and it

303
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.120
was Wasp. Was Wasp Armored Saint in this band Headshaker.

304
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:24.639
I mean, to this day, I'm friends with the bands

305
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:28.120
from Armored Saint because but I mean, that just totally

306
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:32.120
turned me. Those things totally turned me into a metal head.

307
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.480
Like I liked the medal before that, Yeah, but those

308
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:40.679
live experiences like you produce are what got me into it.

309
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.240
If I there's one band that plays at festivals, all

310
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.360
the press people make fun of because they only just

311
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.120
stand there and play, and we all call them the

312
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.240
most boring band live ever. And if that's what I

313
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.799
experienced a band like that, maybe I wouldn't be a

314
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:55.759
metal head today.

315
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:56.840
Yeah, exactly.

316
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.840
You know it's supposed to be like a show.

317
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:01.879
Yeah, it's And even as.

318
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.919
A musician, dude, if you're up there just standing around,

319
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.640
like and you look bored, it's like, are you even

320
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.599
enjoying what you're doing? Right when I'm behind the kit,

321
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.160
you know, I'm moving around, flinging things around and what like,

322
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.960
I'm I'm having fun and it should be fun.

323
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.680
And you know what, a lot of people throw hate

324
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.880
towards Laars and he always looks like he's having fun,

325
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.599
you know. So okay, you know, and he was right

326
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.480
about you know, Napster, So oh yeah, everybody gave a

327
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.720
mate for that. So I say, just let people be

328
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.640
people express themselves. That's what being anorest is is expressing

329
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.880
yourself the way you want to express and you'll collect

330
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.880
your tribe, you know, the people that like it you

331
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.920
know again, I don't get wasted time. You don't like

332
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:54.279
something listening to something else period, you know, watch something else. Okay,

333
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.200
So what else do you have on the horizon here

334
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.000
for twenty twenty six, Well.

335
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.519
We have more releases coming out. So we started working

336
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.799
with a notable producer named Dan Malch.

337
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.720
Dan Mauch has produced bands like Ghost Go, Jira, A

338
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.599
Bench Seven, Full Door Petch, you know, small little metal bands,

339
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:15.400
and he started working with us last year.

340
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.279
So we're going back up to his studio.

341
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.960
At the end of March, so next month, and we

342
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.759
actually have another single dropping the same time that we're

343
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:26.599
going into the studio.

344
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.480
We're trying to get things geared up. More than likely

345
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.759
either in an EP or an LP is going to

346
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.680
be dropping this year.

347
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.400
We are currently working on a tour for the month

348
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.960
of around August time frame is where we're looking at.

349
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.680
So we do have a festival coming up in March.

350
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.119
That's March, I think it's March six or March ninth.

351
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.039
It's Inkedin Loud at the York Fairgrounds in York, Pennsylvania.

352
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.559
I think as of right now that's kind of where

353
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:02.039
we're sitting on things. But we are doing a lot

354
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.519
of writing and whatnot, So there's there's a lot of

355
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.200
other things like moving parts going on behind the scenes.

356
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.599
So yeah, but I mean there's there's a lot coming

357
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:11.839
this year for sure.

358
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.519
So here's what I want to know too that I

359
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:18.160
think I already know the answer. Okay, So when you

360
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.680
put on the makeup and get all dressed up for

361
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.359
your live show, is it almost like you go into

362
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:25.720
a transformation and become the musician.

363
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.599
It's kind of like me, like, as soon.

364
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:29.720
As the mike turns on, there's a switch in my

365
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:34.799
head that radio personality comes out, you know, like automatically.

366
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:36.839
I don't even think about it, do you Do you

367
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.079
think that's the case when you're like in those costumes

368
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.079
in the makeup, like you transform and like kind of

369
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.359
be that that entity, so to speak.

370
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.039
I would say yes, yeah, Because we all have different

371
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:53.359
stage names, like Mind's Vetitas our drummer or our drummer.

372
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.960
I am the drummer, our least singer. He goes by Twisty,

373
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.759
our bass player goes by Johnny. We have three guitar players,

374
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.039
Steven and Victus and z so we all have stage names.

375
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.200
So yeah, absolutely, as soon as like the makeup goes

376
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.880
on and whatnot, Like we become that persona.

377
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:13.359
We embody who that individual is.

378
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.839
Another good point about putting on makeup and whatnot is

379
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.319
like if you're especially when it comes to local shows,

380
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.200
like if we're standing around, even if we're not next

381
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.240
to each other, you know that we are together.

382
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.440
As a band.

383
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:29.240
Yeah, you know what I mean.

384
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.799
So that's another reason why we do the makeup. But yeah,

385
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:32.440
one hundred percent.

386
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.759
Yeah, we definitely become our personas once the makeup comes on.

387
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.279
Well, it's like me, my radio mic or persona is

388
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.200
pipe Man, and there is a different persona to it,

389
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:46.279
like part of it is real me and part of

390
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:49.319
it is the alter ego me. But it is so

391
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:53.240
funny that even my kids sometimes now will call me

392
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:58.519
pipe Man, and then Alexa calls me pipe Man all

393
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:04.880
the time, so that's always funny. Nice, But how do

394
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.640
people reach out to you? Uh, you know on socials

395
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.519
on the web, buy your merch all that good stuff, so.

396
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.680
