some badass new music and I want

8
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.799
Dread. How are you Hi,
Hey, guys her things then it's weird.

9
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.640
Here the guitars from the recent Dread. Yeah, thanks for having me.

10
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.239
Oh my pleasure. And first question
off the bat is what was the

11
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:33.359
first thing in your life that prompted
you to pick up the guitar. I

12
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:38.519
think was my cousins. They always
played guitar when I was young. I

13
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.719
was watching them playing just chypical local
songs. But when you're having like family

14
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.159
party and family reunion kind of thing, and I do remember picking up the

15
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.400
guitar in my cousin's house. I'm
lefe handed, so I got the guitar

16
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.319
and I tried to do the I
and then I got the tap in front

17
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:04.000
of me and I tried to do
see the chord and he looked at my

18
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.280
hands like, no, no,
you have to do the other way around

19
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.039
because you're left hand, so you
have to do the upside down kind of

20
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.520
thing. So I was like,
okay, I have to very clear in

21
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.000
my head. I think that was
the first time that I picked up any

22
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.039
kind of guitar that was acoustic guitar. But yeah, yeah, that's what

23
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.080
kind of got me to the guitar. I'd say, yeah, you know,

24
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.599
that's funny because I'm a lefty too, and I played guitar for a

25
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.199
while, but I sucked, and
I think it's because I was being taught

26
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.919
to play righty as a lefty and
it was just never something that became totally

27
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.000
comfortable to me. And then after
doing that so much, if I tried

28
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.120
the other way, that felt weird
too, So it was like neither way

29
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.960
was right for me. And you
know, but in the same token,

30
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:01.080
you take after good company because look
at Jimmy Hendrix, m yeah, yeah,

31
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.759
yeah, that's that's that's one of
one of the guys, and it

32
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:13.080
is unfortunately for us, everything is
more expensive. The buying instruments is going

33
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.800
to be more expensive than than the
right the orthodox guys. Uh, and

34
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:23.280
you have less options usually. But
yeah, and now I think we can

35
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.800
find a good priority of guitars.
But back when I started playing, you

36
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.639
want to find a feel and pretty
much the same design, just different colors.

37
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:42.639
And but I remember seeing one left
e back when I was starting as

38
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.800
well in one of the instrument's store
that they had a Gibson there and that

39
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.199
was so be I saw that hanging
on the wall. That's beautiful, but

40
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.400
it was very pricey, like yeah, that's that's that's that's too far from

41
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.439
me. And then and as I
remember that, the colors kind of red,

42
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.000
like no kind of wine color.
Yeah yeah, I was like,

43
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:10.800
oh, that's a bit of guitar. But I never got a Gibson Lispo

44
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:18.079
well, you know, uh.
And you know, it is funny.

45
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.800
I think people don't realize how how
difficult lefties do have it, you know,

46
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.759
because we don't really complain much about
it. But like even I think

47
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:34.439
I went over this with one of
my uh children a month ago because I

48
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:42.040
was cutting paper for you know,
a holiday present, and they're like,

49
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.399
why you look so weird doing them, like because they make scissors for right

50
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.639
e's not for lefties. So it's
kind of awkward. You know. It's

51
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:54.000
like everything it's made you got to
like figure out your own way to do

52
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.160
things with everything. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty much started you you.

53
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:04.519
Yeah, but people the ward is
kind of done for Orthodox in a lot

54
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.240
of sense. And then we when
you're not well back in the days,

55
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.199
it'll be weird just because you're not
right, like like like like they would

56
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.519
do like happens like like happens to
you. They're like, I know,

57
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.759
you have to play this way because
that's it's the Orthodox way. So everyone

58
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.959
plays this way. But at least
it is a lot but a lot of

59
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.480
things. Even if you go to
school when you have some some of the

60
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.480
chairs and then the tables there,
they work way more for Orthodox. And

61
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.959
if you have like two or three
people that they are left in the in

62
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.680
the same classroom, they'll be like, okay, we don't have enough tables

63
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.360
for you guys. They have to
pick it up for somewhere else. Yeah,

64
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.560
right, So but it is,
it is the way it is.

65
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.120
And at least I kept left and
I learned and left a way I'm not

66
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.079
sure. I'm not sure if it's
good because of the pricing, but that

67
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.680
everything else and then that good point. There's one good thing that I always

68
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.720
I like being lefty. I have
my guitar at home. I have my

69
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.519
guitars, the acoustic and elect guitars, and I always have people that they

70
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.600
come to my house. They always
play guitars, but they cannot play my

71
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.120
guitars because I'm left handed, so
they like funck, I cannot play this

72
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.680
a great no at touch my guitar. And when I go to their house,

73
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.160
they don't have to play anything either, So I'm happy that way.

74
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:27.199
I love it, you know.
And I don't even understand why in things

75
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.199
like music or anything creative they don't
gear towards lefties because they say that the

76
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:36.079
lefties are the ones, are the
creative ones. So maybe they should.

77
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:42.480
We should start a new trend wherein
ain't creative industry. It's the orthodox people

78
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.079
that are the ones that have to
worry about it. Yeah, yeah we

79
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.959
should. Yeah, so tell us
about the tell us about the new song

80
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:59.360
Betrayal, And it's pretty badass.
It's you know, it's heavy, but

81
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.560
it's also like whole on musicianship,
like there's and Somebody. It's a metal

82
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.839
head from way back. There's a
lot of heavy music nowadays, but I

83
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:13.079
wouldn't exactly say a lot of the
heavy music is musicianship. It's just being

84
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.639
heavy and loud. Whereas you guys, it's very like you know, you

85
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:24.600
can get into it. It's music
and musicianship and pre technical as far as

86
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.600
I'm concerned. Yeah, well thanks
the betrayal. It's the song it's been.

87
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.759
It was a weird year for us
twenty twenty three. We had played

88
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.680
in twenty twenty Shoe, we had
tour, we played Vacuum twenty twenty Shoe.

89
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.800
Then twenty twen three or Druma left
so he moved out to Canada and

90
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.439
we were like without the drama for
a whole year. We actually only found

91
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:58.480
a drama as now twenty twenty four, the but we have we're kind of

92
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.759
dead, like the bundle pretty much
gone. Nothing released on not playing because

93
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.839
you didn't have a drama and we
didn't want to all the offers that we

94
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.160
had. You have enough enough money
to get a session drama for that,

95
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.800
and then we decided to release a
single. Then I invited the drama that

96
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.759
Greek drama that I knew. I
was like, would you do that for

97
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.480
me, like to record that,
and he's like, yeah, I would

98
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:31.040
do that. And the song it's
it's way even that our album was.

99
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:37.559
It's more it is more straightforward and
we have like like me, Marco,

100
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.200
we all we have that kind of
influence from back in the days. We

101
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.919
are like old school death metal style
and I think that's what it's in there

102
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:54.039
with with with more modern sound,
but it is kind of a lot of

103
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.759
festival bass and we have a piece
of blast speak and it is for us,

104
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:07.080
it's kind of like a it's almost
an angry song for us. It's

105
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.519
heavy and it's fast, it's it's
nice to play. It's just it's kind

106
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:20.679
of like the song that would kind
of represents our we both as a as

107
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.720
a band, because a lot of
people think that we're actually gone, like

108
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.159
after we released, even in the
Irish scene, the guys like the guys

109
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.679
who are out of nowhere, they're
like out of a year, and then

110
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.519
they suddenly came with that single.
So that's kind of one of the like

111
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.559
we won't give a statement like we
are back. We are never gone for

112
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.360
the first thing, and we are
back we are back now that we haven't

113
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.120
announced the drama yet and now you
have a drama, So twenty twenty four

114
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.240
is going to be way different than
twenty twenty three. We already have a

115
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.919
lot of things like up then you're
gonna announce you know, you're going to

116
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.799
work on the new album as well. That's probably gonna be really early twenty

117
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.279
twenty five. Uh, but yeah, the betrayal is is it's it's kind

118
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.120
of the direction of where we're going
in terms of sound. But we're probably

119
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:22.320
gonna do the album with the produce
with the same guy who is mixing Massive

120
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.879
for this for this track, it's
going to produce the album. I've been

121
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.879
in touch with him, so that's
we're gonna We're gonna probably fly to Germany

122
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.480
and and and get the album done, but I'm gonna say probably straight after

123
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:41.399
summer. But yeah, that's that's
that's pretty exciting to feel feel to be

124
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.919
back well. And I think a
lot of people don't realize when there's lineup

125
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.559
changes in the band, it's not
like you could just put somebody in there,

126
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.679
you know. I think that's the
time where you kind of evaluate where

127
00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:00.159
you want to evolve too, and
then try to find the perfect fit for

128
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.240
that, and sometimes it takes time, and you know, you don't want

129
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.480
to just throw somebody in there and
then a few months later you gotta throw

130
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.399
somebody else in there. You gotta
find the right fit. Yeah, and

131
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:16.240
there's a lot of guys that we
tried, and some of them even though

132
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.799
they come like that, because we
we have that he said, we tour,

133
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.720
We tore Vader, we Vader Marduk, we played Vacuum within the are

134
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.480
scene like that's a band that we
keep keep an eye on the end.

135
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.279
And then every time that the guys
can try, they're like, yeah,

136
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.879
but I'm not sure if I want
to Even though they want they say they

137
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.960
want to tour. They once we
have like a you want to tour,

138
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.799
but you have to you have to
know what happens like numbers, what happens

139
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.240
with the numbers specifically, So you
have to know. You have to be

140
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.120
aware of what happens before and after, like what what the investment you have

141
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:56.240
to do before and what kind of
money you're gonna get after the tour possibly

142
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.720
and deals and kind of thing.
Yeah, everyone wants to Everyone says they

143
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.600
want to tour, but when they
actually face that. They're like, oh

144
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.279
no, I don't want to do
that. Maybe they have that idea that

145
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.399
you're going to tour, are going
to be rich and it's going to be

146
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.879
famous face straight it might it might
be that. Might it might be that

147
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.960
because I had that when I was
like sixteen. Right now I'm actually twenty

148
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.080
eight. I know I don't have
that. Nothing is going to happen straight

149
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:31.159
away. But we are in the
band. We are kind of all we

150
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.320
are on the toties and we all
had bands before, so we know what

151
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.120
we want to do, where we
want to get and how we want to

152
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.960
get there. We just go on
a pace that it needs to be done

153
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.200
like there's no rush, even though
we are not young. But it's we're

154
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.399
doing what we like. That's the
main thing for me. And we enjoy

155
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.519
being together. That's all I can
right there. When when you're on a

156
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:03.039
tour, you have to enjoy,
you have to no no chorting, and

157
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.919
when you share both with out the
bunds. It is also get triacky because

158
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.480
we have you don't know that the
guys. So that's but we've we've we

159
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.159
just found a guy, we just
found a haven announced I'm gonnounced gonn announce

160
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:22.799
him next week and yeah, and
then we have we have things to announce

161
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.080
or gigs that's gonna come. So
any on a pipeline. I love it.

162
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.039
And you know, I'm glad you
brought all that up because people have

163
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.919
this fancy of what touring's like.
Touring is a grind it and you don't

164
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.440
get rich, and like they say, it takes twenty years to become an

165
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.480
overnight success, and you have to
be really really dedicated, and the most

166
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.480
important part, like you said,
you have to get along with the people

167
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.960
you're with because you're with them twenty
four to seven on the road, no

168
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:01.360
escape, and you know, it
can be really really not fun if you're

169
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.960
with the wrong people. Yeah,
and you don't rest enough. So it's

170
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.519
if sometimes things that would happen that
you usually kind of people do that let

171
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.320
you let this go, But then
you're just very tired. And then that's

172
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.639
kind of if it gets on the
nerve very easy because you're tired. Like

173
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.440
the tour one of the tours,
I was driving the whole thing, so

174
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:35.159
why drove like two thousand miles but
the guys knew, Like I I was

175
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.200
like, oh, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna drive, so I do

176
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.399
the loading, we do sound check, I'm going to sleep straight after we

177
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.960
play, so they can drive to
the next venue while you guys are sleeping,

178
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:52.840
right, So that's kind of so
then we so I always hop over

179
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:58.039
somewhere to take a nap and out
of two two or three hours nap because

180
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.559
there were some distance there were like
seven an hours eight hours from between venues.

181
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.240
It worked out. But then we
had a day off and that day

182
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:15.320
off killed me because you kind of
in that routine and your body is just

183
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.519
on that even though you you're tired, once you actually stop, you just

184
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.720
don't want to go back. It's
just like one day off, you're off,

185
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.399
chill out. I remember you're we
were on the coast of France on

186
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.360
that day, like that last take
day off here, but then you go

187
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.720
to Germany the next day for the
venue. On the next day, it's

188
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.360
just like I didn't even want to
drive. I was on the stage doing

189
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.559
the soundtrack, was like, don't
even want to play, Like I'm very

190
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.759
tired right right, and then you
have to have all your energy to play,

191
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.360
so like it's tough when you have
no energy and you have to give

192
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.960
it. You're all, yeah,
but what what once once you start playing,

193
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.440
once you start the settleast, you
get going to the crowd. Yeah,

194
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:07.279
but that moments, don't you like
the first sho or three minutes putting

195
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.120
the first track of the set least, that's really hard. That at least

196
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.879
it was really hard for me.
I hear you totally. But you know

197
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.639
what, you guys are gonna kill
it here in twenty twenty four. I'm

198
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:23.360
