00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.359
about our next guest because anybody knows
me knows I'm an old school thrash metal

8
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:10.760
head and this band is freaking awesome. It's like if I don't know,

9
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.840
it's almost like to me if Nuclear
Assault and Dri had a baby. This

10
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.319
is the band. So let's welcome
to a show. Super Model texta Derby,

11
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.480
How are you? I'm good.
How's it going? Oh it's going

12
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.439
great. So yeah, I was
checking out your newest music because you have

13
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.879
the new album at What Costs dropping
on May thirty first this month, end

14
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.719
of this month. And man,
this just brings me back to the good

15
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.280
old days, as I would call
it, you know, like the music

16
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.640
is real music, it's it's it's
not I find that a lot of bands

17
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.760
nowadays in these genres, they almost
act like they're doing an algebraic equation.

18
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.400
There's no thought put into it.
It's like just let's let's follow this formula.

19
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:07.920
And thrash and metal and punk was
never a formula. You know.

20
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.719
I agree with that, and that's
what I love it. And listen,

21
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.680
I love that we can cross those
genres because back in the day, as

22
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:22.599
you know, it was very hard
to like dri started it, kind of

23
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.520
Suiciu started it, Slayer kind of
started, but you still couldn't go to

24
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.400
shows. Like I was a long
hair and I couldn't go to punk shows

25
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.639
and punks can go to metal shows, and it was freaking stupid. So

26
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.400
that's what I love about thrash too. It's that attitude of putting punk and

27
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:45.680
metal together. That's that's exactly where
my dad come from. Like it's it's

28
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.080
just me here. I'm Sean,
I'm the singer, but the other boys

29
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.800
are at work right now. So
this is where you get and I totally

30
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.240
agree with you. When we play
music, we usually just take this element

31
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:02.360
of that punk rock, raw guitar, bassed drums, give your attitude and

32
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.120
all being metal heads, it just
made sense to amalgamate it and put that

33
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:13.199
together. So what we present or
try to put across when we're writing music

34
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.080
is just peerage. Iain that's the
one thing we go for. I love

35
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:22.280
it because that is what it's about. It is a droning rush, and

36
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.879
you know, there's a lot of
misconceptions about our genres of music that we're

37
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.319
into, and it's kind of good. When I talk to some bands,

38
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.280
we're like, yeah, let's keep
them thinking that stuff, you know,

39
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.039
But like, it's just is one
of the healthiest ways to get out your

40
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.360
aggressions, and it's one of the
best therapies there is. Like forget all

41
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:52.479
the drugs, you know, and
the pharmaceuticals. Just get in a pit

42
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.159
and that will cure a lot of
your problems. It's therapy, man.

43
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.840
I don't know it's pc to say, but it is all almost prevents someone

44
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.960
from punching another person in the face. It's a good It's a healthy way

45
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.199
to just let it out, no
doubt. I love how you put it

46
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.520
that way because that is the way
I think about. You know, how

47
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.960
many people are lucky I didn't punch
them in the face, because you know

48
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:20.240
what I just got done with a
metal show. You know it's it is

49
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.480
true, because listen, I'll tell
you a funny story, Like I go

50
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.040
on tour and cover a bunch of
these festivals, and one time I had

51
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.160
two festivals in one weekend, so
I had one of my other people at

52
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:38.639
the radio station go cover the other
festival. She had never even been to

53
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.639
a rock show, much less a
metal music festival. She was a country

54
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.000
girl. She had huh she had
a good time. Uh yeah, well,

55
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.639
I told her. I'm like,
listen, she was all scared about

56
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.399
it. I'm like, listen,
you should be more scared go into your

57
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.519
country shows because there's a bunch of
rednecks getting drunk and beating the crap out

58
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.920
of each other. I'm like,
you go to a metal show and we're

59
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.920
like one big family and it seems
like we're trying to kick e Jeddler's asses,

60
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:17.240
but really we're just being being like
a friendly family of outsiders where nobody's

61
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.199
an outsider. And I'm like,
you're gonna make new friends. You gotta

62
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.000
do this. She comes back after
the weekend, She's like, oh my

63
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.079
god, You're so right, Like
it was, it was so cool,

64
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.519
and I got all these new friends
and have a new boyfriend now and I

65
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.040
have this new favorite band. I
don't know if you ever heard of them.

66
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.319
They're called Bring Me to Horizon.
And I'm like, yeah, I

67
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:46.439
think I heard of them. But
see that's the point, Like she went

68
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.720
in there with this kind of thought
process of what we are and realize that

69
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:56.680
we're the best therapy there is out
there. Yeah, that exists outside of

70
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.319
the shows too, Like, yeah, walking down the street, if you

71
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.279
see some wearing a Slayer T shirt, you know, you give the guy

72
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.439
the eye who looks back at you. There's this mutual understanding. But if

73
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.680
someone I've noticed it, like if
one of the kids are walking in,

74
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.279
like there's a Tailor Swift T shirt, that person just doesn't really recognize the

75
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.240
other person. It's just kind of
a commercial thing where it's like us people

76
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.079
in the scene. We lit it. You know, you couldn't have put

77
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.879
it better. And I love that
you picked the Slayer part because really,

78
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.560
if you walk by somebody with a
Slayer shirt, like you know, I

79
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.519
was just in Costa Rica for three
months and they say pure a beta for

80
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:39.759
everything, Well for Slayer, we
just say to each other, fucking Slayer,

81
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:46.560
got it? So I want to
talk about the artwork on this new

82
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.560
album, which is behind me and
I think I'm I'm part of the crowd

83
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:58.959
there, and tell me a little
bit about your story behind the artwork of

84
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.360
the album. I mean the move
out away a little bit there. Well,

85
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.720
that's uh, we reached out to
Andrei Buzikoff. He actually did some

86
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.240
municipal waste. He's he's worked with
talks the Holocaust. Like if you're in

87
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.439
the scene, you recognize his artwork. But the concept for this is,

88
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:23.279
uh, it's like a subway and
it's an entrance into the underworld. So

89
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.120
as you're watching these people walk down
those steps, they're losing these horns there

90
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.879
or they're gaining them. They're becoming
the demons that they are, and the

91
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.680
ones on the other side exiting into
Earth, they're losing them. And it's

92
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:38.519
supposed to signify like the evils all
around us. So right up front,

93
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.079
you have this guy being torn in
both directions, being pulled in opposite directions,

94
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.639
and what it's represents to us is
at what cost would it take to

95
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.560
keep your composure in today's kind of
a world. I love it. See,

96
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.560
That's why I wanted to tell a
story because I love the whole story

97
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.600
about it because it does it kind
of blows me in my mind that the

98
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.800
things we were singing about in the
eighties are not only as relevant today but

99
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.959
even more so. It just kind
of blows my mind that in all these

100
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.360
years we haven't gotten any better,
but we've gotten worse, which ties right

101
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.560
into what you were just saying.
Yeah, it's unfortunate, but there's still

102
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.399
a few of us, so tho've
kept our roots. Yeah, there you

103
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:30.680
go. And it's funny that you
mentioned Municipal Waste because I'm looking at the

104
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.559
album cover, I'm like, man, I recognize whoever that artist is like

105
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.879
that. It looked so familiar to
me. As soon as you said municipal

106
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.279
Waste, I'm like, that's where
I recognize it from. Yeah. Yeah,

107
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.840
he's a force to be reckoned with
this guy. He knows what he's

108
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.039
doing. We reached out and we
had a couple ideas that we traded back

109
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.039
and forth, and at first,
initially we wanted to call this album Exorcist

110
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.240
for Beer. It's one of the
songs it's a single off of this album,

111
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:07.159
and we couldn't quite articulate what the
story represented, so coming across this,

112
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.519
it just made more sense to us
to go forward with it. But

113
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.080
Matt he threw out idea after idea, and I'm so happy with that results.

114
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.000
And I do love the other name
too. That sounds like a definite

115
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:28.440
punk rock album name. That's a
party anthem song. I highly recommend checking

116
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.039
it out. And there's a story
behind it too, if you want to

117
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.720
hear it, I do. So. My drummer Riley, and his father

118
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.120
and his brother were driving back from
a fishing trip and it's like an eight

119
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:45.919
hour drive. So Whiley's old man
is bitching about coal in the back seat,

120
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.600
all he does is drink all day
and smoke his bong and scream and

121
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.559
it's just metal music come out of
the basement, right, So pretty soon

122
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:58.559
it turns into like Riley's writing all
this down right, Cole's throwing in his

123
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.960
two cents. And by the time
they got back off this fishing trip,

124
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:07.200
he gave me this piece of paper
that was like a good portion of Exorcist

125
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.480
for peer. So yeah, so
what I wrote it on like, I

126
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.279
made it fit to the way I
sing in my singing style. But between

127
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.279
everybody's lyrics, this is where we
got the song. From and it's actually

128
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:26.360
a song about It's about a little
motherhead who can't quite exercise the demon out

129
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.279
of him. So the answer is
to find an exorcist online. Well,

130
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.679
they go in the dark Web and
they find they find this guy that makes

131
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.159
their problems much worse than it actually
is. In the end of it,

132
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.559
we called him Little Johnny. He's
off on tour with blacked out of the

133
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:48.279
murder. The exorcists gave up like
there was no help. I love it.

134
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.720
Yeah. To tie it all together, when we recorded the song in

135
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.919
the studio, we brought in Whyley's
old Mare. We got Call singing some

136
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.279
backups on the lyrics, and we
brought in Kenny to do a little skip

137
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.440
for us. He's like, I
don't know what to do. We had

138
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.080
a little piece of paper ready for
him and just see this. He's like,

139
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.320
I'm not reading a script that's already
written. Riley's like, well,

140
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.120
what do you want to do?
He's like, I don't know. He's

141
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.200
like, well, how about this. You got twenty seven years practice,

142
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.720
so y'alling at me. Come up
with something. So before the song starts,

143
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.200
you hear this like thirty seconds skit
of your old man coming in,

144
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.080
slamming the door, yelling at us
to turn the noise down. I'm not

145
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.799
turning his place in the studio.
Go clean the fucking your boot. The

146
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.320
song starts, I love it.
Which song is it? I'm trying.

147
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.960
I'm drawing a blank right now.
That they met reminded me so much of

148
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.320
a dri song, and I'm trying
to think of which one it is.
