So far so good! Was a little rough at the beginning but it's calmed down now, we were all jet lagged as we had to fly then drive for ages then play at night which you can tell it's horrible but we have settled in now.
I love it! Those guys are awesome to tour with as we toured in the U.S with them, had a break then came here.
So many that we can't really say but it's been amazing! full of debauchery, we wake up every morning with hangovers then starting back again the next day.
We are touring with SKELETONWITCH in Australia after this tour but not much else after, We're doing Hellfest in France too.
The block of time that you're on stage goes so fast it's unreal which is the best part but the lead up to it is really boring! Travelling sucks but you cheer up due to the show and what happens after that, hanging out with bands and fans from all over the world makes it all the worth while.
I'd love to do a tour with VENOM as I'm a huge fan.
It's the best response of every record we've made actually which was very shocking, the previous one to it was mixed but the latest was very positive.
The lyrics are very conspiracy theory inspired, it's more of a punk record as it's very socially aware and angry.
I really like the song ''MKUltra'' and how it turned out, the lyrics are about the government experiments and it's really fun to play live too.
I really enjoy playing ''Lord Of The Wasteland'' because of the tempo change, it's more rock n roll than our usual fast stuff so it's a great change.
Nope! I've thought of nothing so far, I'm just doing these tours and see what happens afterwards I guess.
It took a long time to decide this but I feel that everything came into place with ''Chemistry Of Consciousness'' as it was what every member wanted it to sound like.
A mixture of punk and metal, it's anti-technical metal as it get's straight to the point but always has something catchy within the song.
My passion for music has never changed and the only way I'd stop playing with the band is if it became a chore and no one wants music to be boring.
I have a Marshall amp and cab, I got a flying V also. I like to keep my gear as simple as possible as so much can go wrong and you get loads of kids getting on stage with you so the less stuff to break, the better.
Since around 2000 so about 14 years which surprises me!
I like Ted Nugent and Joe Perry, not really what you'd expect from a thrash metal musician but they both have such unique sound.
I used to play drums when I was younger but when the band started I began playing which lead me to where I am now.
GBH, VENOM, SODOM and BLACK FLAG are huge inspirations for the band.
Cheers Emily, thanks a lot
