Thank you very much for the compliments! It has been a long trip for all , but I would not change a thing! (we love it!!) Ok, now to the interview. Rick and I met when we were doing a show together in Seminole at a local club. We were both very impressed w/ each other's performance and Rick asked me to sing on his solo record Until The Bitter End w/ Rob Rock then we started sending each other stuff.

He would send me music, I would sing ideas for vocals over the phone at first to him and he would turn, put music to them, it was cool!! After that Emo and I met looking for other people to put a band together. He was by far the best that I had found in a while so we started throwing ideas back and forth. The rest is history. After that Steven Elder (Rob Rock touring bass player) joined shortly after, bringing with him much energy to the band. Finally the backbone, the most humble / all around greatest drummer I have seen! It was Rick's idea and Richard Christy was into it so we cleared a spot on the round table (this guy is a monster behind the kit!!) and you have Leash Law.

We have done the same style of music for a long time now. We love heavy music and we have been back and forth to Europe countless times, so we picked up that Euro vibe to our writing. It is a killer combo!!

All through time we fight. I think it is programmed into our brains to create war. Even monkeys gather at a particular spot to battle to death, for what ? Land? Mates? To rule ? Power? Now we are onto something...think about it.

We have views on certain things but we are not politically motivated. We write about what we see in everyday life and points in TV/newspapers etc...

What you do not take care of yourself in this biz, will haunt you! Always if you are signing a piece of paper w/ your name make damn sure you see a good lawyer, because people will screw you any way they can! (you know who you are!)

Lyrics / melody lines for the most part on this record were mine (the next record will be more balanced as far as who does what), Emo, Rick, and Richard (Paving) contribute some lyrics (Emo and I wrote Title track Dogface) and Rick and Emo are great producers(throwing the flavor!). It is all good !! Music was created by the whole band.

This is all Seth Design!!! http://www.seth-design.com for more info. This guy is a real sicko and has a demented way of doing his art. It is creepy yet telling a detailed storyline to the record! Good form Seth!! We love it!!!

The SSL console we used has many channels and accessories, as were needed because we had outrageous amounts of tracks to mix, giving us a wider spectrum to work with. You get what you pay for! SSL Rules!!!

I can not say enough about this Outlaw record Co . They are great ! True music visionaries! We got in touch through a mutual friend of ours, Demetrius, that writes for Greek mag / webmaster Metal Invader. He calls me and says the label wants to work a deal. I was like cool let's get it done! 4 months later we had a multi record deal signed (did I say BLR rules!!) by the way!

We will be touring for this record, no doubt! As far as a video...something live maybe?

No, I like it just fine.

Metal Is Law and it will go nowhere but louder and louder! The fans will not give up on what they love!! Period!!

I own my own biz fixing classic cars to sell.

File sharing is bad for sales no doubt, but I think people will buy records because they want the lyrics/artwork /why you buy records the contents.

It is all part of the game, the good w/ the bad, it all depends on how much you want to succeed!

World tour w/ both bands I am involved with at this time...Leash Law and Tiwanaku is the other monster!

Thank you to everyone and especially the fans for making it possible for me to live my metal dreams! I see the crazed look in your eyes when we meet that I will never forget! Thanks for your good metal ears!! See you on tour!! Cheers and thanks Metal - Temple, for your time!!
