Denver, CO progressive metal band Entropist share their new single “Intense Warmth,” as the follow‑up to their debut single “Creation.” Both tracks appear on the band’s upcoming debut full‑length album, The Vision, arriving June 26.

The album’s artwork comes from a hand‑painted canvas by guitarist Solomon’s wife, Shannon Bortfeldt, an impressionist depiction of the story’s opening moments and the emotional weight of its darker themes.

Formed through a decade-long bond, Entropist began in 2013 when guitarist/vocalist Solomon Smith, vocalist Parker Kitching, bassist Jeremy Smith, and drummer Matt Gleason met as college roommates and neighbors in Greeley, Colorado. After years of jamming, drifting apart, and reconnecting during the COVID era, the band solidified its lineup with the addition of guitarist Will Vinson, whose creativity helped elevate the project into its fully realized form.

“The Vision” is a bold, cinematic progressive metal odyssey built on a dual-concept narrative: one story set in a fantastical world of demons, celestial beings, and the void, and another grounded in real-life themes of mental struggle, nihilism, and the search for meaning. Written largely from the perspectives of characters within the story, the album is designed to be experienced from start to finish — with recurring motifs, callbacks, and evolving themes woven throughout.

Musically, the record spans progressive metal, djent, deathcore, metalcore, and post-hardcore influences, while maintaining a cohesive identity. Fans of Between the Buried and Me, Meshuggah, Opeth, and The Contortionist will find familiar touchpoints, yet Entropist’s voice remains distinctly their own. To bring the album’s massive sound to life, the band partnered with acclaimed producer Jamie King, whose work with BTBAM and The Contortionist helped define modern progressive metal. His mixing and mastering elevated the album’s intricate compositions into a unified, powerful whole.

The band’s first single, “Creation,” introduces listeners to the album’s final narrative arc. The track blends bright, triumphant chords, intricate rhythms, soaring vocals, and one of the heaviest breakdowns on the record. Lyrically, it explores themes of building something new, forging meaning, and shaping the world one wants to see. The lyric video showcases the song’s emotional intensity and conceptual depth, offering fans their first immersive step into the universe of “The Vision.”

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.280
Hi, you love done to censure?

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:12.519
Wow, crazy young.

3
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.519
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures of

4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.320
Pipe Man W four C Y Radio. And I'm totally

5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.879
excited about, you know, talking about this next song that

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.399
I just heard that is absolutely amazing. So let's welcome

7
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.759
to show Solomon from Entropist. How are you.

8
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:37.799
It's good, Dean, how about you?

9
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.799
I'm doing great, man, And like I'm all pumped up

10
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.719
from this interview after listening to your song.

11
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:46.840
Yeah, glad to hear it, man. Yeah, we're really really

12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.159
proud of this thing. Super happy to like finally be

13
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.479
able to share with the world and whatnot.

14
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.000
You know what I love about the song. Okay, so

15
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.000
it's like old school to me in the sense of

16
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.880
listen to it and for a while, because you know,

17
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.439
we live in today's society, I'm thinking, hmmm, is that

18
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:13.200
an instrumental and then boom it hits you. And that's

19
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.519
why old school was like that, Like you like, people

20
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.920
don't have the attention span for that the same amore

21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:26.439
to get through like the progression into you know, it's

22
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.680
like the build up to me, it's so much better.

23
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.840
Yeah, that's there's a lot of a lot of really

24
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.519
paste out music. You know, I do feel like, you know,

25
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.920
especially in the modern day, that like you know, writing

26
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.319
an album that's an hour long and having all these

27
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.760
like crazy songs that like stretch on forever and don't

28
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.560
use like one or two ideas is like almost irresponsible.

29
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:52.280
Even it's really the music that got me here, you know,

30
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.359
that's the most inspiring songs that I've ever heard, are

31
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.239
like these ridiculous odyssees with just craziness and technicality that

32
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.079
also like have a journey, you know, the emotional dynamic

33
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.680
is just the whole thing to me.

34
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.240
Please, I mean, good example, not a metal but could

35
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.960
you imagine Dark Side of the Moon only being five

36
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:21.400
minutes the whole album? Right, yeah, that would be weird,

37
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:27.599
you know. And so and I love the musicianship part,

38
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.719
which I think kids today maybe maybe they're getting back

39
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.520
into it. I heard there it's starting to turn around

40
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.000
a little bit. But the way these I guess, you know,

41
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.919
well there you go. You know a lot of these

42
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.520
streaming services they just want you to keep hitting track

43
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.000
track track, and I think we are making a turnaround

44
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.840
to go back to musicianship instead, like because I also

45
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.520
found out from an artist that they've changed the way

46
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.560
you're supposed to write songs nowadays, like you know, cut

47
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.199
out the intro, cut out the solo, cut out the

48
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.039
bridge only two versus immediately.

49
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.400
There's no yeah, there's no journey to it, right, Like

50
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.039
it's really it's because of how music is popular, right,

51
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.919
And there's always like going to be this dichotomy in

52
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.599
my head of like, you know, music that people make

53
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.759
for people to hear and to make money and to

54
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.520
be played in you know, the coffee shop, in the

55
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.120
grocery store or whatever else. And then there's music that

56
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.439
people make for expressive purposes, right, yeah, you know, and

57
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.479
the expressive stuff can like be anything from serious to

58
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.919
you know, like you know, limp biscuit. But at the

59
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.000
end of the day, like I think that what I

60
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.400
find the most meaning and is the latter category of course,

61
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.599
you know, like if it has to be like designed

62
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.800
for TikTok, then like are you really still like you know,

63
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.639
writing in the same way that you typically would Are

64
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.560
you trying to write for your audience? You know?

65
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.000
And that you know, that's always been a problem for

66
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.639
artists since the beginning and time, and I think it's

67
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.960
only accentuated now, Like you know, before it was the

68
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.840
record labels telling the artists how to create music and

69
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.719
and look and everything else, and now it's TikTok telling you.

70
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.599
Which to be fair, Like, you know, you can get

71
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.800
really popular overnight. Honestly. We have a couple of buddies

72
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.840
of ours who in like a band called Colbal Mountain

73
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.639
and there they're vocalists, Like does this bit where he's

74
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.399
like he's wearing a cowboy hat but he's doing he's

75
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.800
just like death cores vocals right over the top craziness, right,

76
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.480
you know. And he did like a cover of Toxic,

77
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.759
like Britney Spears Toxic and like death Course Style on America.

78
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.879
And then some of the judges were like I'm out immediately,

79
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:38.720
right because.

80
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:39.720
It's so funny.

81
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.759
How he was like, I want to see where this goes.

82
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.000
I love it though, because like, all right, so it's funny.

83
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.000
I have I have a couple of grandeurs there their swifties, okay,

84
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:56.240
And so I played them the aversion, the I Prevail

85
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:01.480
version of Blank Spaces, and one of them when we

86
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.399
went in the house, I caught her. She was in

87
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.879
her room. She looked it up and she was listening

88
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:11.879
to that version I'm like, yes, perfect you you know,

89
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.879
and you're so right about that because and I think

90
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.199
metal is never supposed to be the type of music

91
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:25.560
that you make for radio, for popularity or whatever. And

92
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.720
I think pop has its place, like you're saying, like,

93
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.160
there's pop music for a reason, but not every genre

94
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:35.199
has to be pop.

95
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.680
Yeah, I mean, of course unless it's you know, unless

96
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.600
we're trying to find music that's intended to be listened

97
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.319
to but as many people as possible so we can

98
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.319
actually profits, right, Like, you know, that's that's It's never

99
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.800
been the priority for me. I've I do want people

100
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:52.560
to be able to hear the music and connect with it.

101
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.040
But that's just because this album means a lot to me.

102
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.639
It's about, you know, really pivotal time in my life

103
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.839
that you know, I if it wasn't if it wasn't

104
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.959
for the other amazing musicians in this world, I wouldn't

105
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.160
have made it through that. And yeah, you do that

106
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.160
for one person on this earth, then you know, I

107
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.040
will have done more than I could hope to with this,

108
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.279
you know. But it's it's really about a journey of

109
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.279
finding yourself and finding your place in this world, and

110
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.519
you know, building something that's you know, that makes you

111
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.199
feel self actualized and you know that. Yeah, I don't know.

112
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.439
It's about creating your purpose, right, that kind of thing.

113
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.720
No, I see, I love it because I'm also a

114
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.399
motivational speaker. So even the album named the Vision to

115
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.279
me that I talk about that all the time, you know,

116
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:43.399
but it is true also, It's like you know, artists,

117
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:49.920
they they are expressing because they're going through something, but

118
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.040
at the same time, they're expressing because they want other

119
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.600
people to know they're not alone.

120
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.279
Mm hmmm, damn straight.

121
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.439
And that that's what means about to me, music is

122
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.000
the best therapy. It's therapy for the artists and therapy

123
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.000
for the listener, and what therapy you get at that

124
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.079
is up to you. Like that's that's a sign to me.

125
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.399
That's a sign of a really good song, not one

126
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.480
that TikTok says is a great song. To me, it's

127
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.680
that song that you know, basically anybody can They don't

128
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.160
have to have your meaning, but they put some meaning

129
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.360
to it and it helps them in their life, you know,

130
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.519
and they may have a total totally different perception of

131
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.560
what your lyrics are than the artist, than the artist

132
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.120
is meaning by them, and that's cool.

133
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.240
Yeah, that's one of the most amazing things about it, right,

134
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.319
Like the the experience of listening to it the experience

135
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.680
of creating it are completely different things, right. You know,

136
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.399
music is a lot, in a lot of ways, very

137
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.639
much a language. I think that that isn't I'm not

138
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.319
unique in using that analogy. But one of the things

139
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.720
that I think is the most profound about that is

140
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.000
really that by the time that you've converted the thought

141
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.279
into language, you've changed it, yeah, a certain degree, and

142
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:08.199
then what the other person has heard has also changed

143
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.519
it yet again, right, because it's within the context of

144
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.920
their own, you know, their own universe, their own memories,

145
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.399
their own ideas of what those things mean. Right, And

146
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.959
so when you start getting into like the abstract concepts

147
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.240
like these, and when you start getting into the emotional,

148
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:26.240
visceral impact of music, then it's just a different world

149
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:27.639
for everyone, which.

150
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:31.040
Is now And everything you're saying is so spot on,

151
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.480
And I kind of relate it to speaking a foreign language,

152
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.120
like you know, like I go to Costa Rica a lot.

153
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:42.519
I know Spanish, but I'm in my head, I'm thinking

154
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.200
in English and then translating it and depending on the

155
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.120
different countries you would go, it's not going to translate

156
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.240
the same. Like you know, here in the States, we're

157
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.480
taught the type of Spanish. It's only spoken Spain. So

158
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.360
when you go to places like Costa Rica or Columbia

159
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.559
or anything place like that, they don't. They translate it

160
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.799
totally different what you're saying because you're not saying the

161
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.960
way they speak Spanish, you know. And I think it's

162
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.480
kind of the same thing. It's like, what are what

163
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.759
you're saying, whether their habits, what's in their head that

164
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.639
they're associating to whatever you're saying, and you you're trying

165
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:23.639
to translate something and it never really comes across exactly.

166
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.159
Right, yeah, right. I think the way that you realize

167
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.080
very much that you're still an animal, say, and you know,

168
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.519
on whatever level it could be, we can we don't

169
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.720
have to give to the philosophy all that. But one

170
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.320
of the interesting things thereof is that like try talking

171
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.159
to somebody who doesn't speak the same language as you,

172
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:45.360
and you're back to being animals, right, right, exactly. You

173
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.799
cannot convey these complex thoughts to one another. You you

174
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.679
have better ability to communicate because it's the same species,

175
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.759
right but if you don't actually speak the same language

176
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:59.120
as them, then you're one like magical methodology of transmitting

177
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.480
your thoughts to some body else is gone, and suddenly

178
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.000
now you're just figuring it out right.

179
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.000
Like because to that other person, it's like listening to

180
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:15.200
a dog bark like dogs communicating no clue what you're saying,

181
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:15.840
you know.

182
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.279
But that's where speaking like Arabic or Chinese and I

183
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.919
have no chance at like understanding much much more than

184
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.799
their tone of voice, their inflection expressions right exactly.

185
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.039
And you know, that's where music is the great communicator,

186
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:38.759
because I'm always fascinated by bands going to other countries

187
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:45.279
singing in different language and those people may not speak

188
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.159
the language at all, but they're singing your lyrics back

189
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.879
to you and they know what it means. And that

190
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.600
always kind of blows my mind. And that's the cool

191
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:59.919
thing about music, because music is universal that straight.

192
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.279
Yeah, this is one of the really powerful things about.

193
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:03.960
It, exactly.

194
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.120
I that's part of why I wrote this album. Actually,

195
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.399
there was a lot I felt like I needed to convey,

196
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.480
and not just to like, you know, the people I knew,

197
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.240
I needed to convey to the people who spoke this language, right, Like,

198
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.080
oftentimes I'm asking myself why metal in a certain sense,

199
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.759
because at the end of the day, metal as a genre,

200
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.600
like just the sound of it is very harsh. It's intense,

201
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.600
it's emotionally like gripping in a way that isn't even

202
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.200
for people like so some people are just going to

203
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:36.600
turn it off the second they hear a scream.

204
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.919
Yeah, totally, you know, which is very fun.

205
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.039
I was one of them when I was growing up. Honestly,

206
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.639
I grew up in like, you know, seventies eighties music, right,

207
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:50.039
like the Bops, the disco, right Stevie Wonder, that kind

208
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.840
of thing. And these days then, like you know, screaming

209
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.200
is just another language I speak in a sense, you know, right, right,

210
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:02.000
That's just a way to communicate certain and emotions, certain experiences,

211
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.360
certain feelings. And also sometimes it's only it's the only

212
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.480
thing that actually fits musically.

213
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.440
It is a great way to get all your crap

214
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:14.320
out too, because like people don't realize that things like

215
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.360
the mash pit are not about us hurting each other.

216
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.480
It's about making sure we don't hurt anybody in the

217
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.279
outside world and getting all our crap out with it

218
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.559
with a common person you know that that knows what

219
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.519
we're thinking and knows what why we're there.

220
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.720
You know, it's the environment of pure catharsis right. I've

221
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.039
always referred to the metal concerts as the church for me, you.

222
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.919
Know, oh, no doubt about it. And the funny thing

223
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.399
is is I always laugh with a lot of ours

224
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.279
because we we People think we're such scary people, metal heads,

225
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.399
and it's like the farthest thing from like, I'll tell

226
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.240
you a funny story. Uh So I had to cover two,

227
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.240
Like I go on to our to media coverage of

228
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.440
festivals all over the US, UK and Europe, and I

229
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.840
had to cover two in one weekend once. So I

230
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.600
had this girl that worked for me, she also co

231
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.639
hosts my show. She was a country girl, never been

232
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:14.440
to a rock show in her life, and so I'm like,

233
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.679
you're gonna have to cover this gig and she was

234
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.639
a little scared about it because it's it was metal,

235
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.919
and I'm like, listen, I'm just gonna fill you in

236
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.799
on something. Metal heads are like one big lovable family.

237
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.519
You know. The mosh pits aren't about hurting people. In

238
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.639
fact that we have rules, like somebody falls, you pick

239
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.240
them up. We're a big community. You go to these

240
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:43.000
country shows where there's a bunch of drunk rednecks beating

241
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.120
the shit out of each other, and you're scared of

242
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:50.639
a metal show. And I was like, you're gonna go

243
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.279
to this thing and you're gonna make some new friends,

244
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.519
and you're gonna you might even find a boyfriend, and

245
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.799
you're gonna see that we're not as scary as as

246
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.200
your country people.

247
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:05.879
People on the planet. Man, you can go and chat

248
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.080
to like almost anyone of the.

249
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:13.679
Show and are those outsiders. There's no like hate on anybody.

250
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:17.240
We're all outsiders on the inside, is the way I

251
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.840
kind of look at it, you know. And so here's

252
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.399
the funniest part. She comes back after the weekend and

253
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.279
she's like, oh my god, you are so right. I

254
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.000
have all these new friends now, and I tea bag

255
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.519
some guy and he's now my boyfriend. And I have

256
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.200
this new favorite band. I don't know if you know them.

257
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.399
They're called Bring Me to Horizon. Like, yeah, I think

258
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:45.799
I know who they are. But you know, it's proven

259
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.320
over and over again, like maybe if you had an

260
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.039
outlet like metal, then you would be a nicer person

261
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.679
in the real world. Maybe all these other people that

262
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.679
are assholes, they just don't have metal as an outlet.

263
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:06.600
Agreed, Yeah, dude, Honestly, I feel like going deep into

264
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.159
an emotion is part of what music's about, and that's

265
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.399
the hard part about music as well, right I The

266
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.919
basis in my band is Name's Jeremy. He's like way

267
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.960
into like sad music, man, Like you know, he's always

268
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.000
have been on like Porcupine Tree and Stephen Wilson. He's

269
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.879
like on ethel Kaye these days, that kind of thing, right, Gespotcho,

270
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.399
that type of deal, and I could I like when

271
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.080
when I was in college, I couldn't fuck with that

272
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.960
because I couldn't go deep into sad, you know, like

273
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.000
I literally, well the way and this may be, you know,

274
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.840
perhaps an immature way of handling, and I would argue

275
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.840
it was. But when I was younger than like, one

276
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.240
of the ways I would just handle emotions is I

277
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.799
would figure out a way to convert into anger and

278
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.639
then I would use that and like listen to metal

279
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.879
and boom emotion salt. Right, Ye, A reasonable equation in

280
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.879
a certain sense doesn't work for everything, of course, But

281
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.519
I've actually only recently been able to start, like you know,

282
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.840
engaging on very different emotional levels. Now that this album

283
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.480
is done, Yeah, I can listen to like whatever the

284
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:07.879
heck I want, you know, which is kind of.

285
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:13.120
Fun nice, And I love that all you keep talking

286
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.480
about is like passion and emotion in creating this album,

287
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.679
because to me, that's some of the greatest music there

288
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:24.120
is out there, Okay, you know. And I also have

289
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:28.159
to say it's very interesting I was thinking about when

290
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.000
it came to you guys. So I've talked a lot

291
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.200
since COVID about I think some of the best music

292
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.080
what we will have will come out of that time

293
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.639
of COVID, because artists got a chance to jump off

294
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:46.039
the hamster wheel and create again and like have that

295
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.440
deep reflection to really create music postages writing a song

296
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.360
on a tour bus on the way to the next gig,

297
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.679
you know, and constantly, Like I know so many artists

298
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.320
that kind of change course from COVID because they never

299
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.799
stopped to think of that's is that where they wanted

300
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.559
to go. It's like they went that way and then

301
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.720
they're just stuck on that treadmill going that way opposed

302
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.799
to same. Wait a minute, I think that's where Ali

303
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.519
from bringing and bring the Horizon was totally smart because

304
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.839
he did go all over the place, and the latest

305
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.279
song by them I just heard is like their original

306
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.599
death chort, right, So I think, you know, that kind

307
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.920
of helped that creativity come back. Maybe, you know, because

308
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.839
maybe Ali was bored with doing that same stuff all

309
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.880
over again and doing all that other stuff created the

310
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.960
excitement to come back. So to me, like with your band,

311
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.480
basically it was you're like a phoenix coming out of

312
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:52.160
COVID with this music, you know, right, you know, so

313
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.880
I think it's the same concept. It's I think I

314
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:01.880
think probably all you were able to basically reflect and

315
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.319
finally decide where you want entropists to go.

316
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.160
Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean that was COVID was

317
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.240
a really interesting era, you know, especially for like myself.

318
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:14.559
You know, you can.

319
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:18.359
You can call it like negative in whatever ways it was,

320
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.640
but it certainly was a time for everybody collectively in

321
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.200
the world simultaneously to reflect on life. Yeah, what it

322
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.279
means to actually be here, why they're doing what they're doing.

323
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.920
If you are forced to stop just running on the treadmill,

324
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.920
as you're saying, then you have to actually decide, like wait,

325
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.279
am I getting back on that treadmill. There's like a

326
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.839
door over here, you know, right that way, right, like

327
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.079
where am I going? Am I? Why am I doing this? Right? So,

328
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.480
you had a lot of bands that just stopped after

329
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:48.559
COVID because they were like, wait a second, why are

330
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:50.240
we doing this? This is too much. We got to

331
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.359
like give in the bus and drive all over the

332
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.400
freaking country all the time, make another only every single time,

333
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:57.720
over and over and over again. You know, like some

334
00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.720
of them are like losing money doing that process.

335
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.359
And they're like wow, like and you're not even thinking

336
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:03.799
about some kids.

337
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.200
Dude, Like And on the on the other side, you're right,

338
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.720
some of the most like amazing creative music that I've

339
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.240
heard in years is coming out like very recently, partially

340
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.880
because you know, people have had that time I think,

341
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:15.359
you know.

342
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:21.200
Yeah, exactly the time to write it properly, but also

343
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.000
the time to figure out what you want to write

344
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.240
instead of just writing.

345
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.839
Yeah, that was kind of realizing the vision in this

346
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:31.559
case right.

347
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:32.960
There, it is there.

348
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.319
It is so.

349
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.960
Tell us the vision of intense warmth, because I did

350
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.400
get some intense warmth listening to that song.

351
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:48.240
Yeah. So the vision actually has two meanings in a sense.

352
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.079
One of them is actually like in the real world, right,

353
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.279
It's this band as I call it, has always been

354
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.640
in my head more of a project, right. It's it's

355
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.559
it's not just the band, it's the community behind it.

356
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.200
It's the artist that we have designing things. Is the

357
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.759
fact that like everyone converges on this one spot and

358
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.119
we have people from all these different courses of our

359
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.799
lives come and just hang out, whether or not they

360
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.720
like metal. I hope to get more people who do, right,

361
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.880
But that's you know, it's it's so profound to have

362
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.039
like a time that you can have all these people

363
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:24.920
from these different walks of life that you've encountered for

364
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.480
all kinds of different reasons come out for the same thing.

365
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.480
You know, I love it, And that's really the core

366
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.160
of what this is to me, at least, you know,

367
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.680
it's really about building up the metal community in the

368
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.680
in you know, in the modern day, right, and giving

369
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.799
us a place to be right. And so the other

370
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:46.359
side of the vision is actually about you know, I

371
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.640
wish I could slap up the Actually no, I can't

372
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.799
slap with the aldmar.

373
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.640
Behind me was my I'm glad you're talking about that too,

374
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.839
because I was going to go to the artwork because

375
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:58.359
this is.

376
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:01.799
Actually the original original painting that my wife did.

377
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:05.960
Yeah, I was gonna bring up your wife actually did

378
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:09.519
the artwork, and I think that's killer, and I'm all

379
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:13.400
about artwork, you know, like that's an hard thing we're

380
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:17.160
missing nowadays. And now you know, you have albums coming back,

381
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:20.920
thank god, because like there was nothing. It was such

382
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.519
a multi sensory experience to get a record album, you know,

383
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:28.640
it wasn't just listening to a song. And so I

384
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:33.599
always love album artwork. To me, I think it's the

385
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.400
coolest stuff because it definitely it allows you to dig

386
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:42.319
even deeper and kind of looking at well, listening to music,

387
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:46.200
you kind of like going to his zone. Yeah, you're

388
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:50.680
going to the zone of the music totally. And so

389
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.720
that and I love hearing that was your wife that

390
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:54.079
did it.

391
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:58.519
Yeah, that's it is. It's so meaningful to me to

392
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.079
like kind of gotten too life, you know, have her

393
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.000
make something for this and then just like put it

394
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.480
out there, and it just it perfectly reflects the entire

395
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.920
first arc of this story that's being told. So like

396
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.720
there's like the real story of like me just not

397
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.799
knowing what I wanted to be and how like how

398
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:17.480
I was supposed to function in society and if I

399
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:19.160
even want to be here in the first place, right,

400
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:21.119
and eventually coming out of that.

401
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:21.680
Right.

402
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.000
But it's also about like this huge, fantastical story that

403
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.480
I've been writing for like the last decade, right that

404
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:31.599
has like angels and demons, and this particular moment that

405
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.920
you see in the album artwork is actually essentially an

406
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.119
all consuming entity simply you'd referred to as the Void,

407
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.519
which you'll hear more about it in the song I Hunger.

408
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:44.240
I'm really excited to be able to hear that one.

409
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:50.240
It's like super heavy, nice, But basically the story starts

410
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:53.160
in a dilapidated version of Hell, kind of in the

411
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:58.000
modern day, and I didn't rehearse this part, so like,

412
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.759
I'm going to try to not me under too much,

413
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:06.720
but there is this demon in there who has kind

414
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.079
of seen the collapse over the past several hundred years,

415
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:15.720
and you know, instead of like instead of just like

416
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.039
burning hell escapes and volcanoes and you know, everything that

417
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:23.400
you'd imagine like infinite waves of torture machines, right, instead,

418
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.200
it's almost chill relatively speaking, everything has been reduced to

419
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:31.319
simply an intense warmth, right treasonly going to grow there.

420
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:34.920
They immediately get incinerated, but they are still there, which

421
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.319
has never been seen before. And he's not happy. He

422
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:43.559
remembers the old days. He wants to essentially return things

423
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:46.319
to the hell of old, where like simply the mention

424
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.599
of its name would strike terror into people's hearts, right,

425
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:55.359
And he kind of ends up like, you know, leaving

426
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.440
his society, wandering out in the middle of nowhere pretty much.

427
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:05.640
And he is given a vision by the Void, which

428
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:08.319
is in the form of the void actually like speaking

429
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.519
to him, so to speak. It's not like a you know,

430
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.279
an entity with a mouth or anything, but my hunger

431
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:16.599
is supposed to be essentially a representation of the voice

432
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:20.400
of the Void itself, nice speaking in his head. And

433
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.519
the power of this thing is so monumental that it's

434
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:28.880
going to it's consuming all that exists, all that doesn't

435
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:32.559
as well, right like, it's going to consume our entire universe.

436
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:34.920
It's going to consume Hell eventually, it's going to consume Heaven.

437
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.079
It's going to consume everything. It is the breakdown of

438
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:42.559
the very fundamental laws that hold things together. M both

439
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:44.000
really in celestial right.

440
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.440
I love it, and.

441
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.519
Like when he hears its voice, it actually basically shatters

442
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:53.519
his mind and it like makes them pass out in

443
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:58.680
the middle there for like centuries, and when he comes

444
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:05.480
to then suddenly he he he's resolute in what he's

445
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:10.720
doing next. And there's more to the story. I'm only

446
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:12.599
gonna reveal that much, but that's kind of the first

447
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:16.079
arc of this story, right. I love it choosing that

448
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:17.160
when to summon this.

449
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:20.799
Voyd, And I think another thing about your wife doing

450
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:24.319
the artwork is who better to do it? But somebody

451
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:28.440
that kind of knows you probably better than anybody, and

452
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:34.400
probably can paint the picture better than anybody. Because of that,

453
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:39.359
you know the vision, so to speak, because it is

454
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:43.640
like it's funny, my dad was an artist and I

455
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:47.079
have one one painting in my condo of his that

456
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.279
basically I see something very different than everybody else sees

457
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:57.160
because I knew him, and like in this painting, I

458
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.240
can see the darkness of his personality. I can see

459
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.200
his dark side and people just see a pretty picture

460
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.240
most of the time. And if I say that to him,

461
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:09.640
they're like, what are you talking about? And that's because

462
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:13.839
they didn't know what was going through his mind. When

463
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:17.000
he was painting it, you know type of thing, and

464
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.720
I think that's key. That's the same thing here is.

465
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.640
You know your wife knew what was going through your

466
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.279
mind and what you've experienced that she had the vision

467
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:32.759
of how to paint the Vision. Yeah, right there you go.

468
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.599
So tell everybody how they can check out the new music.

469
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.079

470
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:48.480
dropping on the marrow. Yeah yeah, and so let's tell

471
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.720
everybody how they can get it, how they can check

00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.160
The all. The Vision will be available on all streaming

477
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.640
platforms like from you know, Spotify to Deezer to Title

478

to quobazz to whatever, the iHeartRadio and everything.

479
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:21.799
Nice.

480
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.519
So yeah, we're super excited to be sharing this with

481
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:30.000
the world. This this thing is a progmenttal monster. At

482
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:34.599
risk of tooting my own horn, check out at least

483
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:38.440
the longest song that you're willing to check out, because

484
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:41.119
there's some unexpected stuff in this thing.

485
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.960
I love it. And you know what, if you weren't

486
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.000
your biggest fan. We can't be your biggest fan. So

487
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.240
I don't even look as tooting your own horn, because

488
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.359
if you don't think it's a masterpiece, who else is

489
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:55.920
going to?

490
00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:00.359
Yeah? I think I think it's a freaking baller album.

491
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:00.519
Man.

492
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.839
There's so many crazy headbanging parts. There's some cool like

493
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:07.039
proggy stuff, there's some jazzy elements. There's like an instrumental

494
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:09.200
song on there that I you know, I think that

495
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.960
is a lot of people's individual favorites. Everyone has come

496
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.079
back to me saying that they have a different song

497
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:15.119
is their favorite song.

498
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.640
And that I love that is good. You know that's

499
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.000
that sends a lot. And I like the blending of genres,

500
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:24.799
Like used to be metal, you had to be pure.

501
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:26.839
You were either this type of metal or that type

502
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.640
of It's all bullshit because like the way you get

503
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:34.359
some unique, long lasting music no matter what it is,

504
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:38.000
is it not being able to be put in a box.

505
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.359
Mm hmmm, and uh yeah. I every time someone asks

506
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:45.000
me to do so, i'm i'm I'm struggling. So now

507
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:46.759
I don't have to try to explain it to people.

508
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.960
I can just say give it a listen.

509
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:53.519
There it is. I I think nowadays, a whole idea

510
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.039
of genres as bullshit because there's so many subgenres and

511
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:03.079
micro genres and it's like really like it's just it's

512
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:09.119
just exactly, and music's not supposed to have rules, you know.

513
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.039
And to me, the whole idea of metal, you know,

514
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:17.599
coming from the beginning of metal, was experimentation, not formulation,

515
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:20.680
and it's like almost now with all these subgenres and

516
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:24.920
micro genres, a lot of metal is formula driven. And

517
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.440
so that's why I love about your music because it

518
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:30.960
took me on a journey and that's what music should do.

519
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:32.680
Thank you man.

520
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:35.880
So you keep doing it.

521
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.680

522
