1. For people who have never listened to your band, how would you describe your sound?
A mixture of death metal and hardcore, and some other metal influences here and there.
2. You guys just got signed by Victory Records this year, How did that come about and what made you decide to chose to sign with them?
A friend of ours in a band called A Day To Remember told them to check us out, victory liked what they heard and asked us to come and play a showcase for them in chicago. We went and did it and then they asked us to sign. We have known of victory for a long time. We liked the people we met and knew that they could push our music and promote us well and that would help our message get out there to more people too. They are very supportive of us being a Christian ministry based band and, we prayed about it and felt like it was a great decision and blessing from God.
3. You're currently recording your Victory Records debut, What are the songs sounding like in comparison with the songs on "Golgotha"?
They are faster and heavier, some slower and heavier too haha, we kept the sound we have, including heavy mosh parts, its definitely an improvement, we feel like.
4. Do you have a title or release date for this album, yet?
January 22, 2008 the album is called Horror.
5. You guys are about to go on tour with My Children, My Bride, what can people expect when they come to a show?
Well haha, fun I hope haha, heavy music a fun stage show and the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ.
6. What bands inspire you and have influenced you the most, personally?
Well many have, but mainly for me with heavy music would have to be Zao, old Underoath, Kekal, Extol, Crimson Moonlight, musically and spiritually. As far as just musically then Dying Fetus, old Metallica, Pantera, and so many more.. as far as non heavy bands there are alot too haha, but The Beatles, believe it or not, are like my band from all time periods, haha.
7. If you could only listen to one album through your next tour, what would it be?
Zao - Liberate Tu Ex Infernis
8. How big of a role does christianity play in your band?
It is the sole reason we do what we do. We are not perfect and have many struggles, but Jesus is our reason for living and the reason for our music.
9. Do you guys plan on playing at Cornerstone or any of the other christian festivals next summer?
Yeah, definitely man. As many as we can, haha.
10. Christian Metal and Hardcore music has gotten very popular in the last couple years, what would you say the reasons for that are?
Honestly, I believe the blessings of God and people realizing that Christ isn't just some idea or philosophy, and that you can love Jesus and make good heavy music with a message other than satanic, blasphemous, garbage. There are so many amazingly talented bands that have that message, their music is not garbage, but the message of evil and satan definately are. People are searching for something, and Jesus is the answer for it!
If there's anything you would like to say that I didn't cover in my questions, let me know!
No, thanks so much for this chance man! Much love and may the Lord Jesus bless you!
