PipemanRadio Interviews Quebec's BACKSTABBER About Harvesting The Weak

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:21.440
Hi, you have unto censure.
Wow for you young Wake up America.

2
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.679
It's time for the Adventures of pipe
Man on W four c Y dot com.

3
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.640
West pomp Beach is number one internet
radio station. Here's your host,

4
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:53.000
the pipe Man, oator Poor.
This is the pipe Man here on the

5
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.399
Adventure of pipe Man W four c
Y Radio. And uh Man, there's

6
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.960
some new music group Upper talk about
that is right up my alley. Like

7
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.519
I love all metal. No,
let's not say all because there's something I

8
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:17.400
don't, but thrash metal and death
metal and black metal are basically my origins

9
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:23.280
and my go to and this band
is brutal and that is like the best

10
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.159
compliment I could give them. So
I'd like to welcome to the show.

11
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.519
Chris from Backstabber. How are you
hello, I'm fine. Thanks. That's

12
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.640
our Holy Trinity, eh, I
know you got that to me. That

13
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.359
is the Holy Trinity. Forget all
the other bullcrap holy Trinity. That's the

14
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:49.359
Holy Trinity. In fact, yeah, in fact, back when it was

15
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.400
kind of it was a lot easier
to even distinguish in some respects. But

16
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.840
it was also because there was so
little of it that they always did kind

17
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:06.280
of no pun intended mosh together,
you know, because like possessed, Like

18
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.639
I went to see them when they
first started, and there was no way

19
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.719
else like them, you know.
And then it's kind of funny because I

20
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.800
was orient to Venom back in the
day that was quote unquote the only black

21
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.479
metal band, and now you talk
to black metal bands now and they don't

22
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:31.400
even consider Venom like black metal.
So but this this new music, Oh

23
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:38.719
my god, harvesting the Week.
First of all, that title alone is

24
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:45.680
badass. And then when I listened
to it, watched a video, it

25
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.639
lives up to that that name for
sure. So tell us a little bit

26
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.039
about that song. We'll start there, and then we'll talk about the new

27
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.759
EP coming out as well. Excellent. But it's hard to talk about just

28
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.479
one song because this is a short
epeed. It's four songs, it's a

29
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.520
concept album. It's something that's been
in my mind for a couple of years

30
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.520
now. It's the book that I
read called The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.

31
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.639
Read that book a long time ago. Not metal at all. It's

32
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.400
like a fiction novel about some dude
having revelations about life and blah blah blah.

33
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:30.039
But there's a part of that book
where the author talks about control dramas.

34
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.599
These are behaviors that you can use
to drain people's attention and energy.

35
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.759
And that was metal as fuck,
yes, So like, look there's something,

36
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.879
there's something to do with that.
There's something to do about that.

37
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:52.319
And so there are four patterns.
The first one is intimidation, and then

38
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.840
you've got the poor me's, the
people that are always complaining. Then you've

39
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.240
got interrogation, and then you've got
difference. And together they form like the

40
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:08.400
official circle. Each father answers to
the to the answers to the previous one

41
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.919
and the next one. And then
you go back full circle when you when

42
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:17.240
you're in different how you how you
bring someone back intimidation? And so here

43
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.759
comes Harvesting the Week, which is
the first song. This is about the

44
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:29.000
intimidator. So basically it's as grouvil
as it gets. See you know what

45
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.160
I love about all of that.
First of all, I'm a total metal

46
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.279
head, but I'm also a motivational
speaker, So like when you start talking

47
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.600
about all that stuff, that's right
up my alley too. And it also

48
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.600
dispels a lot of myths about metal
for people that are not into metal,

49
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.920
like they think metal is all about
oh death and destruction and satan and then

50
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:56.480
blah blah blah blah blah, whereas
a lot of the really good metal is

51
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:03.839
about things from from book and from
history and from real issues. Like you

52
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:11.800
take my favorite all time ever band
who is now reuniting for three festivals on

53
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.839
on a tour that I do,
Like I do a festival tour where I

54
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.439
do radio coverage, and they're gonna
be at three of them that I do,

55
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:23.040
and it's the only three Slayer okay. Now, Slayer always thought,

56
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.920
oh, they're just about devil worshiper, Like, first of all, Tom

57
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.720
is a born again Christian And we
used to laugh about it back in the

58
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.720
day that people thought that. But
Jeff wrote a lot about World War two

59
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:42.519
because he was like a World War
two buff okay, And but people that

60
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.920
didn't understand Slayer or no Slayer would
have never thought about that, you know.

61
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:53.360
And you know, you take bands
like Iron Maiden, like almost every

62
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:59.319
Iron Maiden album is based on a
book. And there's so many of especially

63
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:04.879
in the death metal arena, there's
so many bands are writing about such intelligent

64
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:13.399
you know, literature, and people
just think, oh, they're just screaming.

65
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.439
Yeah, but as much as I
agree with you, stereole dives are

66
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:25.279
important. Yes, that's that's how
you uh, that's how you think the

67
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.600
posers out. Well, you know
it's funny about that. Okay, So

68
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.600
I forget which way it was.
Last year at went of Festivals, I

69
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.959
was hanging out with the bands and
we were talking about like how people think

70
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.480
us metal heads are so scary and
all that, and he was going,

71
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:46.279
yeah, let's keep them thinking that, you know, for the exact same

72
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.920
reason you're saying, keep the posers
out. We don't need to turn it

73
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:55.120
into pop. Okay. That's why
it's such an interesting topic as the one

74
00:06:55.160 --> 00:07:00.360
I picked for for Patterns of Domination. I kind of twisted sarcastically, so

75
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:06.279
it's a handy guide on how to
to be a narcissistic asshole. So he

76
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.759
know it hasn't been at all.
I mean, being asshole, that's not

77
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.639
all. But but it's sarcastic.
Don't be in that soul. Of course,

78
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.600
I love it. I love it, especially since you know I'm from

79
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.600
New York and New Jersey, so
sarcasm is my first language. So yeah,

80
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.759
so of course we're in the in
the video of Harvesting the week we're

81
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.839
promoting intimidation, We're like, I
start your dominance, but but in fact

82
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:41.959
of course be kind there you go, So tell us let's start first with

83
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.120
is there some moment in time in
your life where this just hit you,

84
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:54.600
where this is what I want to
do and this is like my passion.

85
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:03.519
It is a collection of moments.
As much as it was the Christmas party

86
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.839
back in the day where my cousins
Pascal and Martin they were playing rust and

87
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.439
pass on the guitar, and I
was like, as much as it is

88
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.480
back in high school when I played
trumpet in the school band. Back then,

89
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:24.399
our teacher was he wrote three songs
for us to play. There were

90
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.839
basic songs, they were exercises turned
into songs, but there were songs nonetheless.

91
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.000
So when we played them live as
an orchestra, we knew we were

92
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:39.559
the only one playing that. So
so that gave me the spark to create,

93
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.919
I guess, and then the guitar
for my cousins. The family brought

94
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.879
me into metal as well. I've
got some uncles that brought me tapes.

95
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.759
If it wasn't for if it wasn't
for any of them, I wouldn't be

96
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.080
where I am now. I'm pretty
sure I see. I love that because

97
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.080
there are a whole series of events
that land you where you are. And

98
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.559
you know, it's even funny you're
talking about playing the trumpet. I was

99
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.080
in percussion in the school band and
orchestra, and I actually at one point

100
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.879
thought of I want to try the
trumpet out. But what's funny is my

101
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.960
favorite part percussion to play was the
timpani. And then and then you take

102
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.559
a band like slip Knot and I'll
go see him. I'll be like,

103
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.799
holy fuck, I should have kept
playing timpani. I could have been in

104
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:37.440
slip Knot. Ah Man. I
just saw documentary on drumming the other day

105
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.200
and it was about like, how
back in the day a drummer, you

106
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.360
need the drummer for each and every
part of the drum, right back in

107
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.840
the days of marching bands and stuff. Yeap, it took a long It

108
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.519
took quite some time before Ludley came
up with like real drums right exactly,

109
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.720
trumpet and I did percussions as well. Yeah, and you know what,

110
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.919
when I first started playing drums,
I had to play on this stupid practice

111
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.000
pad and I hated it. I
hate All I wanted was a drum set,

112
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:15.440
and I didn't get a drum set. There you go until after the

113
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:20.879
practice a couple practice pads, after
playing each separate drums separately, like you're

114
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.960
talking about, you know, And
then I got a drum set. You

115
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.919
know. It wasn't like my kids. I boy, I'm a drum set

116
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:35.840
from the minute they could ask for
one. Drums are so cool. It's

117
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:43.519
a fun instrumentally. And listen,
I give so much credit to drummers because

118
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.960
the coordination that you need, like
I didn't have it, to be honest,

119
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.559
I was better at playing the individual
drums you put the drum set then

120
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.720
all together and doing everything at once. Oh my god, I have such

121
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.320
I'm in awe of great drummers.
And then like when Lombardo started doing the

122
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.080
double bass, I'm like, holy
shit, I can't even hit a single

123
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.879
bass and the drum and the symbols
at the same time. And this dude's

124
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.120
work in the high hat and the
double bass with only two feet, Like,

125
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.480
how the hell has that happen?
You know, it's just and now

126
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.759
there's people that are just so even
far advanced from that, like it just

127
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.279
amazes me. And that's why I
talk about what I did before is like

128
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:39.480
a lot of death metal is really
really amazing musicianship. And that's the part

129
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.639
where you know the stereotype's not wrong, but the stereotype does keep the posers

130
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:58.000
out. So Patterns of Domination tell
us about some of the the other songs

131
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.840
on the EP and how they may
be the same or different than Harvesting the

132
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.519
week they are different. I love
it. The four patterns are different,

133
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:15.320
so it had to be different.
So each young, each young has a

134
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.279
different vibe. We've tried to explore, uh, to explore a couple of

135
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.639
niche of some jars of the of
the great genre that is death metal.

136
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.360
So on a harvesting that obviously that's
like old school death metal a bit.

137
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.480
There's a little trashy side. But
we have long Sad, which is the

138
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:41.559
second one. The titles in French, but basically dirty tons. So that's

139
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:46.320
how we talk about people who always
complain and have always shitty stuff to say.

140
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.960
We can long sad, Young Sad, the long Sad, that's how

141
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:56.639
we which there's a lot of them
nowadays. Oh my god, I even

142
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.039
thought COVID would cure the bit of
music festivals and concerts, like because we

143
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:09.200
got it taken away and they're still
betching now, like Slayers reuniting, and

144
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.519
there's all this bullshit people complaining,
like who gives a crap, You're getting

145
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.320
to see him one more time,
man, Like why are you complaining?

146
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.840
I just don't like what you like. Like what you like. Leave the

147
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.600
rest of them. Yeah, Lisa
Holt, Gary's wife, had a perfect

148
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.240
solution for those people. Just don't
go. That's a simple you know.

149
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.320
But I love that you have four
different vibes because that's an hard thing to

150
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.879
me. That's og okay. Back
in the day, you know the band,

151
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:48.120
none of the bands really sounded the
same, and they would create different

152
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.080
songs in different sounds, whereas I
find a lot of new bands out nowadays,

153
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.320
it's almost like they follow this algebraic
equations, like they plug this formula

154
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:03.120
in and it just that everything sounds
like that. And you know, if

155
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.639
you went to a gig that was
like Possessed, Dark Angel, Slayer,

156
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.759
Metallica, Exodus, it was like
you were in multiple different genres, you

157
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:18.039
would think, because they were all
unique to themselves. Yeah, But as

158
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.320
much as I like both, I
like bands that are always evolving. But

159
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.159
I kind of like some bands that
put on the same album over and over

160
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.600
again. Well, you do have
to be true to who you are,

161
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.679
you know, like Formulae didn't work
on it. I mean that is as

162
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.279
as cool as a bend that is
trying to discover themselves. I mean exactly

163
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.879
what you know, when you evolved, you say, as you be true

164
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.639
to yourself. Yeah, when you
evolve as a band, it just means

165
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.559
getting better, not changing, you
know. Like so you take a band

166
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.919
like Slayer, They're really not any
different than they were that when I saw

167
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.480
them the first gig they ever had. They just got be better musicians and

168
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.320
you know, made it more more
polished and more professional for who they were,

169
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.840
you know, posed to some bands
that like they go in a whole

170
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.320
different direction and it's like, but
that's not who you are. I mean,

171
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.000
if that's who you want to be
to begin with, that's a different

172
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.320
story. But you know, like
you said, the word poser that was

173
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:28.240
big back in the day, and
it's like I played drums and I played

174
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.080
guitar and the I sang thrash metal
and during that whole eighties scene, all

175
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.080
I saw was all these bands selling
out in the record companies telling them what

176
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.519
to do. I was like,
fuck this, and I stopped playing music

177
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.200
because of it, you know,
because I think you should just be true

178
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.360
to yourself, like I was saying, and then people will notice. Yeah,

179
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.360
but be true to yourself can be
as much as staying true to your

180
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.960
whole abbots or being always out discovering
your stuff. So yeah, be who

181
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.240
you are, whatever, whoever you
are. That's right exactly. So so

182
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.320
I guess well, I think also
being a musician, isn't it about exploring

183
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.320
what you can do? Like I
said, I've said this a few times

184
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.039
before, Like when I started playing
guitar, you know, I was like

185
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.720
just making all these weird sounds,
trying to see what the guitar could do.

186
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.000
And my dad would say, you
should give that up. You suck,

187
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.399
And I probably did suck, But
I was trying to find out what

188
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.679
the guitar could do, you know, and what sounds I can make,

189
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:34.519
and maybe some sounds I would make, I'd be like, oh yeah,

190
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.000
I won't do that again. But
then there's there's others where you're like,

191
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:47.399
oh wow, that was pretty cool. So what about live shows? What

192
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:53.840
what can people expect at a backstabber
live show, they can expect a good

193
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:59.080
time, that's for sure. I
mean, I'm a smiley guy, so

194
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.120
I mean I'm all is having a
good time, always having fun. And

195
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.119
the way we write our music,
we always think about it live. How

196
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.559
will it come out live? So
even when writing a song, writing a

197
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.440
bridge or a main riff or a
verse, I mean it's it's always is

198
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.640
it gonna be a head bangabull riff? Is it gonna be Is it gonna

199
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:25.480
have the drive that we want?
So? So yeah, basically our music

200
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.799
is built to be played live.
I love that you said the smiley thing

201
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.359
because there's another stereotype that all metal
head type, a resting bitch face.

202
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:41.599
Well, I mean yeah, I
have to have that mean, evil look.

203
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.640
I used to play. I used
to play in another band before where

204
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:52.720
I used to do these resting ditch
faces, and I remember, was it

205
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.759
hurt me at the end of the
shows? I was like, it's not

206
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:03.240
me right right, hey listen,
But it would hurt because motivational speaker me

207
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.920
teaches people that it takes sixty four
muscles to frown and only twelve to smile,

208
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:17.160
So why are you frown and it's
too much work exactly, so only

209
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.599
we love playing shows. And every
song's not every song, but most songs

210
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:27.240
they have these small parts that are
made expressly to build up the crowd and

211
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:33.279
either make people headbang, trash or
just raise their horns anything. But we're

212
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.200
always interacting with the crowd. So
here's a good question. I've seen it,

213
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:44.759
but not as a musician. But
what's it like being them on stage,

214
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:51.400
being a musician and looking down at
a wall of death? Like the

215
00:18:51.519 --> 00:19:00.039
perspective from that point of view,
it is. I like to go to

216
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:06.839
both the extreme, but it is
as amazing as it is terrifying. You

217
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.119
don't want to have anybody got getting
hurt. Sure you want to, so

218
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.920
that means at some point you want
to people. You want people to have

219
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.599
fun, you know, though you
want them to mush and you want them

220
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:22.920
to have all the bets. But
yeah, but it is amazing to see

221
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.799
when you see with the moment where
people everybody's ready and they are calling,

222
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:34.119
You're like, it gives me goose
bumps. Like when we're just about to

223
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:38.480
do it, they're just like ready
and little pumped and stuff like, holy

224
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.359
shit, you're talking about all of
that I can't help myself. But thinking

225
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.079
about the band called Neurexis. They're
ban from Quebec. They came up with

226
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.160
all of that back in early two
thousands and I remember they had one and

227
00:19:53.079 --> 00:20:03.039
Randa ruin Miranda, which is our
hometown. It's like four hundred people in

228
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.400
the wall of that, everybody.
It's amazing. It's on YouTube. You

229
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:14.240
can find it if you want.
But yeah, that Ruin Wow. So

230
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.640
here, here's a good one for
you. My daughter's bought Mitzvah. I

231
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:26.480
moshed with the rabbi at the bot
Mitzvah. It's like the meme with the

232
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:33.519
Michuga somewhere. All the rabbis are
like totally man, is that awesome?

233
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.000
Or what? Man? That was
like the highlight of it, you know,

234
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.480
oh man? So how do people
reach out to you? Guys?

235
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:48.559
Connect on socials? Check out your
music, merch all that good stuff.

236
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:55.559
We're boomers. We're still on Facebook. Well, we're all miss and her

237
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:00.400
more on Facebook, but we're still
there in Stagram a bit. We're also

238
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.920
on YouTube and then camp for anything
related to merch or anything. But if

239
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:08.720
you want to have a chat with
us, we're on Facebook and we're all

240
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:15.480
easily reachable and well ready to have
a chat with any of you. You

241
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.920
know, It's funny. There's parts
I hate about Facebook. But what I

242
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.000
do love about Facebook is some of
the things you can do on there that

243
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.759
you can't do on the others,
like uploading a shitload of picks, you

244
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.960
know, without being having to be
like a major amount of work. It's

245
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.079
just like I go to a festival, I upload all my picks and I

246
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.599
share that Facebook album with the promoter. It makes it real easy, you

247
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:48.240
know. And I don't know.
I just think I think people interact more

248
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.200
on Facebook, but you know,
maybe that's just me. But I'm on

249
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:56.160
all of them, including TikTok,
which you know, you're not a lot

250
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.960
of time on Reddit because I really
enjoy read it. It's text base.

251
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.519
I'm a reader, so yeah,
I really enjoy read it. But have

252
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:10.440
you like Cora too? I sometimes
sometimes I read Cora, but I'm not

253
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:15.680
on there. Yeah I do,
I do uh read it. I do

254
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.400
Cora. I do them all.
I am, I got them all.

255
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.640
But I still kind of stick to
Facebook even though people. Even though people

256
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.119
piss me off on Facebook, I
still stick to it. I don't have

257
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:32.240
a lot of conversation through comments on
Facebook anymore. But I do have a

258
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:40.119
lot of conversations through Messenger, Yeah
exactly. So any final words you want

259
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:44.160
to leave our listeners with that we
haven't covered yet, h that they need

260
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.519
to know, Well, we did
not go through the whole album. We

261
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:55.400
we just got uh, we we
just got the diverted. But if you

262
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.160
want to know more, feel free
to come by, honestly, honestly,

263
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.599
have a tell me more, tell
me more now. I think they want

264
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.880
to hear more now. Well,
we were talking about Alongside, which is

265
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:15.119
pretty much about the people complaining,
so it's about social media and the musically,

266
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:21.079
it's more into the core side of
metal, the one that's generated the

267
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:26.119
hate comments through social media. And
then we have a Crawling through your Bones,

268
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:33.599
which is about the interrogator, uh
as much as it is about the

269
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:38.240
integrator the interrogator. When I wrote
the song, I just once shot at

270
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.160
it and then I looked back at
it and I was like, it's it's

271
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.839
almost like I'm talking about rape.
I mean, it's the same kind of

272
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.000
feeling that you get your intimacy violated
when someone someone is just like asking questions

273
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.839
just to get a hand up of
you. It's basically the same feeling I

274
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.680
mean, so yeah, crawling through
your Bones, which is a little bit

275
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:07.759
more into a blackened de metal.
And then the last one, Snitches Get

276
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:14.400
Stitches, which is about the in
different people, and so it's it's really

277
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:21.640
fuck up. I guess it's our
most technical song. Okay, So I

278
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.759
wouldn't say I wouldn't dare to say
it's tech that because I don't consider myself

279
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.480
as good as a guitar player,
but definitely it has it has a hint

280
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:38.200
of it, and I love the
name. I got a friend of mine

281
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:42.039
when I told her about that name
I was thinking about it. She was

282
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.279
like, is that like a rap
song or something? Oh, that's so

283
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.839
funny. I could see that too. I could see somebody thinking, man,

284
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.640
that's so funny. But it was
about indifference. But as much as

285
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:57.440
it is in different Snitches Get Stitches, it's a mojo about the gang culture

286
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.519
where keep it to yourself out.
Yeah, So the less you say,

287
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:08.079
the less you risk. Sometimes that's
actually like a real real good words to

288
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:14.359
live by in every area of life, to be honest. Just like,

289
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.839
just like we don't want these pop
people to know that metal heads are actually

290
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:32.039
nice people. Oh Man, wells
are teachers. Most singers in Quebec are

291
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:40.680
teachers. Really that our English or
a lot of metal singers are teachers.

292
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.559
Know that. That's pretty cool.
On Facebook, I really enjoyed to read

293
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.799
that bat from Ugary. He's it
a history teacher. It's a history teacher.

294
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:53.160
Is you always have really fun stuff
on Facebook. Honestly, he's a

295
00:25:53.200 --> 00:26:00.119
huge poster, so it's usually enjoyable
to read. So I'm in I'm I'm

296
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.519
in Costa Rica right now and a
lot of your people are here, like

297
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:08.000
a lot of Canadians coming out,
Yeah, a lot, But I did

298
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:15.119
like Montreal is one of my favorite
cities. I remember back in the day

299
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.079
I went to Montreal and I was
I was a huge Devils fan when Jacques

300
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:30.119
Lemaire was the coach and in New
Jersey where I was from, you know,

301
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.680
you had the rivalry between the Devils, the Rangers, the Islanders and

302
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:40.400
the Flyers, and like very few
Jersey people were into the Devils because you

303
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.279
know, when you're like my age, you first were a Rangers fan or

304
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.119
an Islanders fan, or a Flyers
fan, and then became a Devils fan

305
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.039
because Devils didn't exist like when I
was a little kid, there was no

306
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.839
Devils in New Jersey, so I
was a Rangers fan. But then once

307
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.480
I became a Devil's fan, it
was like you would yell Ranger suck,

308
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.599
and you know, he said,
like the rivalry. So it was funny

309
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:08.519
because I remember so clearly I was. I was at this bar in Montreal.

310
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:12.240
I was wearing a Devil's ski jacket, was in the winter, and

311
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:18.680
everybody was so nice to me because
I was wearing a Devil's jacket, and

312
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.079
I'm like, this is strange.
I have to leave my home state,

313
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:29.319
home country to go somewhere else to
be appreciated for my home team, because

314
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.880
they all loved Jacques Lamier, you
know. And wouldn't that have been the

315
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.920
same had you had any Boston rooms. Yeah, no, that would not

316
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.160
have been the same. As a
matter of fact, I have a story

317
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.279
about him where our main studio is. Jeremy Jacob's, the owner of the

318
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:53.000
Bruins, lives there and he started
this whole political thing there because him and

319
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:59.519
the other richest guy in town have
this whole rivalry and like they made the

320
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.279
whole town paid for and he's an
asshole. So I was really not a

321
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:10.680
Bruins fan before, and now I'm
like super not a Bruins fan. But

322
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.759
it's funny what you said about being
a Devil's fan, because back in the

323
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.319
day there were no Devils here in
Quebec. It's the opposite. We have

324
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:26.839
kids who are Nordics fans. Oh
really, RDIs they don't exist since I

325
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:32.200
know, right thought? Yeah,
I mean they were sold to Colorado.

326
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:37.839
They became the Avalanches, I know. And you know what's funny. Do

327
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:42.920
you know where the Devils came from. They were originally from Colorado. Oh

328
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.440
yeah, they're the Colorado team that
moved. Oh yeah, yeah, so

329
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.839
we got the Colorado team. You
guys gave Colorado their team. Oh man,

330
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:59.079
that's funny, you know. And
I have to say, I've been

331
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:03.680
to multiple areas of your country.
I like your area the best. It's

332
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:11.119
like, just to me, it's
called the beautiful province that oh and then

333
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.480
you know, like to me,
I remember when I went to Montreal,

334
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.599
I was like, this is what
New York was like twenty years ago me

335
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:23.119
and twenty years ago. Then when
I was I was thinking about twenty years

336
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:30.759
ago because it's like like what amazing
say and what blew my mind was the

337
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:37.799
underground malls, those twelve malls underground. I actually went through every one of

338
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.799
them, And what a cool way
to get around the city when it's freezing

339
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:51.839
above above ground. So yeah,
the city of Montreal is amazing. Yeah,

340
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:57.160
exactly. And I just found the
people, the city, the out,

341
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:03.119
all the areas surround funding. And
you know, I live part of

342
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:08.640
the year in Florida and party year
out of the United States. And the

343
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.559
part I live in Florida, the
person my landlord who I rent from is

344
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:18.880
from Quebec some like, surrounded by
Canadians. I like them. I like

345
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.319
them better than my people now anyway, because my people are becoming a bunch

346
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:30.000
of assholes. Now, we've got
a lot of Quebecers in Florida. They're

347
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.200
called snowbirds. Yeah. So when
you're coming over here flies out. So

348
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:41.039
yeah, in Hollywood, Florida,
near Fort Laurideale, it's all French Canadians.

349
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.920
Like everybody there is a French Canadian. So there it is. Well

350
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:52.920
and as much as we're buying walls, older generations are more unilingual French and

351
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:59.079
so it probably speaks French a lot
in there. Eh. Yeah, absolutely,

352
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.759
I'm guess I'm guessing a good proportion
of them does not speak English at

353
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.680
all, probably probably not. Well, that's like in Miami, you know,

354
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:15.039
Spanish is the primary language. English
is second. I took my daughter

355
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.319
someplace in Miami and she was trying
to order and they didn't understand her.

356
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.000
I'm like, yeah, no,
they don't understand English. Here here,

357
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:26.960
I'll order for you. You feel
just like Franco phones in Montreal sometimes really

358
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.440
well, those that only speak French. Yes, yeah, that makes sense.

359
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:41.720
That makes sense to expect being certain
English. And you know, it's

360
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:49.279
funny because then you have, like
I also cover Hellfest and so every a

361
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.319
lot of people there. They don't
like to speak English at all. But

362
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.680
it's funny that the French in France
too, that they sound different than the

363
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:04.960
French French in Montreal, Quebec.
And then I'm taking this like immersion Spanish

364
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:10.240
class here so I can be even
better. And there's a girl in there

365
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:15.319
that she was speaking French, and
it was funny because I was like,

366
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:20.000
so, are you from Canada or
are you from France? And she goes,

367
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.079
I'm from Belgium. And I had
forgot about that one because we had

368
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:29.400
a studio in Belgium for a while
and I forgot. Oh yeah, they

369
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:34.680
speak French too, Yeah, yeah, and they have that, you know,

370
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.799
the numbers and French. How fucked
up they are. Belgium doesn't have

371
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:47.039
that really. Yeah, it's called
the vice Zimmo numerical. It's based off

372
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:51.839
of twenty. That's where you got
like four twenties for the number eighty.

373
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:59.720
Belgium, it's called octant which is
octo from Octo eight. So interesting.

374
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:06.000
Yeah, it's so wild to find
go around the world. So yeah,

375
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:08.920
it's so wild to go around the
world and find how things are done differently,

376
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:13.559
even like that's one of the reasons
I'm taking a class here is because

377
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:17.200
how they speak Spanish and Costa Rica
is different than how they speak in Spain

378
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.640
or Mexico or Puerto Rico. And
I over the weekend I took a trip

379
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.319
down to Nicaragua and they speak it
totally different too, and they and they

380
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:32.359
all have different words for things.
Funny story, So we had this these

381
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:37.599
Argentinians doing a show on our station
because where our station is located is like

382
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:44.000
a equestrian mecca. Uh and so
there's a lot of South Americans there that

383
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:47.799
are in the equestrian community. And
one day they're in the studio and I

384
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.880
misheard a word that they said,
and I thought they said mota, which

385
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.920
I don't know if you know what
that means, but that means pot,

386
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.559
okay, And then they had this
stuff that looked just like pot, and

387
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:05.680
I'm like, you can't do that
in here, and this was like years

388
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:09.480
ago when it was totally illegal,
and he's like, he's like. They

389
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:14.320
started laughing. They're like, no, it's not Malta. It's made which

390
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:20.519
is this tea that Argentinians drink like
all day every day. It's an urban

391
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:24.320
it looks like it's pot, and
of course Malta, mate, you know,

392
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:31.360
you can mishear that it was.
It was so funny. But even

393
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.119
now that it's been legalized in a
couple of states in the US and Canada,

394
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.239
it's been legalized for a couple of
years, but it's still not as

395
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:45.199
socially acceptable as speer. Let's say, yeah, in the States, it

396
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:52.519
depends on where you go, because
like in California, it's kind of ridiculous.

397
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.760
It's almost too extreme. It's like
people are stoned all day every day,

398
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.039
and it smells like pot everywhere you
go. You know, even like

399
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:06.239
I went to a Rainbow on the
Sunset Strip not that long ago, people

400
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:13.039
are just seeing at tables smoking pot
and I'm like, that's weird. Whereas

401
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.840
now you go to Vegas, you
can buy it, but it's illegal to

402
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:21.800
smoke it in public. So if
you try to smoke it going home,

403
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.840
I mean they do it's Vegas,
but if you try to do it going

404
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:31.000
home, you're getting busted. Florida, it's still just medicinal, so there

405
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:36.320
is no recreation and you have to
get like a prescription, you know,

406
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:39.079
which is really easy to get,
Like you could go to these doctors they

407
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:43.519
have and you could say, I
stub my toe and they'll give you a

408
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:49.679
prescription, and so you can ask
how much you need per day, right,

409
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.760
yeah, And the shit they give
for the medical that's like the strongest

410
00:35:53.800 --> 00:36:00.920
crap there is, you know.
And so it's kind of an interesting that

411
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:05.800
it's probably the same in your country
and in our country, that there's no

412
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.519
unification. Like I don't know,
I just think it should be either legal

413
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:14.239
or not legal, and it shouldn't
be different everywhere you go. Personally,

414
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.519
you know, maybe a little bit
of a variation, but it's not like

415
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:22.599
alcohol is legal at some and not
legal in others and only for medical and

416
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:29.440
others, you know. But that's
what happens when you have a big country.

417
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:37.679
Sometimes you have to respect that every
states. I mean that in Canada

418
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:42.880
we call that a separation of powers, right. Provinces have certain powers.

419
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:50.599
They manage education, they manage healthcare, and the federal manages like immigration and

420
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:55.519
foreign policy stuff like that. But
sometimes they have some money for some stuff

421
00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:59.280
or they want to push some stuff, and then provinces go, hey,

422
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:06.639
it's it's our things. So yeah, and it's the same. It's same

423
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.280
in the states. Like to me, I always think of the United States

424
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:14.159
as every state is its own country
pretty much. And if everyone that fell

425
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:19.400
under the healthcare umbrella, so every
partner said, hey, it's our things,

426
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:30.079
right, so you can have like
a federal exactly. Well, I

427
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:37.360
think everybody needs to get your EP. Patterns of Domination badass and it has

428
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:43.960
substance to it. And definitely,
I mean, at the very least,

429
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:50.280
get off this interview and go check
out the video for Harvesting the Week and

430
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:54.840
you'll definitely want the EP for sure. Yeah, it's out this Friday,

431
00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:00.800
March fifteen, So yeah, make
sure you go atch that video. Amazing

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:07.239
the producers they are. They do
a really great job. Everything they do
