Speaker 1: And joining us alive in studio, we have Dan from
the band Horror. Hello, sir, Hey, it's great to be here, Matt,
thank you. Yeah, welcome to the program. Looking forward to
playing some of your tunes today and getting to know
you a little bit part of why you're here. So
today it's kind of a kind of a theme today
we're talking to people who are going to be on
this big show coming up October nineteenth at Terminus our
friends at Terminus in Nashua, New Hampshire. You guys are
going to be playing there along with we just had
Able Blood here there on that show as well. We've
got the Gray Curtain coming up in the third hour,
also Questing Beasts on that show and the Megans Dead
Harrison of course, and that's going to be coming up
October nineteenth. So it's wonderful to have you here. Tell
Us about tell Us about the band, tell Us about Horror.
Speaker 2: So me and my buddy Steve, we started it years ago.
It was just a little project we were doing in
high school, and as it turned out, people wanted to join.
My buddy George started playing the bass for us, and
then afterwards his brother Johnny and we had a couple
incarnations of lineups throughout the years, but we finally here
settled on our main one now where we're gonna be
going out playing shows. And this is actually our record
release show at Terminus. Oh congratulations, thank you. Yeah, it's
we've been working hard for years to actually get there.
But yeah, yeah, it's it's gonna be an awesome night.
Super excited about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's a full album.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, full album?
Speaker 1: Okay, and where did you record?
Speaker 2: Well, we recorded ut Blackheart Sound with Eric.
Speaker 1: Okay, Eric Sotter, Yeah, sir, Yeah, we always say. We
had him on the show a few months ago, and
you know, his his name. It was great to have
him on because his name comes up on the show
a lot. Actually, Abel Blood, who was here in the
first hour their album. I think Eric, they didn't record
there with him, but he Eric mastered the album, I believe. Okay, yeah,
but yeah, so, uh, and what went into the decision
to do a full album because obviously you have options,
you know, you can you can do an album, you
can do an EP, you can just release singles. Why
did you guys decide to do a full album?
Speaker 2: Well, we had so much material at this point, we
were like, you know what, screw, we might as well
just do the whole thing and then drop it. You know,
we collaborated with this artist Mexicine Ta Cardi from he
makes insane artwork. Okay, our album cover is actually made
in his blood. Crazy stuff.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, like he put his blood in the ink.
Speaker 2: I think so. I have no idea, but I know
he made it with his blood, which wow, we thought
was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1: Well, let's play a track, and I think we're gonna
move you to a different microphone. For those of you
watching on video. That one needs some leavitre or something.
But here, let's let's play a song. I'm gonna play. Huh,
let's play. Oh, let's play Exorcists. I really like this one.
And then we'll come back and talk about it. If
you're just joining us, we have Dan from the band
Horror here with us, live in studio.

Speaker 1: Somethings that'll get the blood pumping. That is Exorcist and
the band is Horror and we have Dan from Horror
here in studio with us. All right, let's see, let's
see how this mic is working. How you doing, Dan?
I can't hear you, and I don't know why, but uh,
let's see go ahead and talk. You are not there, Uh,
you're you're on a You're on one of these channels.
Speaker 2: All right, I found you awesome there?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're just joining us. We had to switch
down to a different mic. But these things happen. But no,
that that mic never fails us. He doesn't like it
when I say that, because she thinks I'm gonna jank said,
yes you are. But so far, so far, that mike
has been phenomenal. So yeah, I love that. I love
the time changes, especially the breakdown at the end. Oh,
the groove on that is just truly remarkable. And so
now you were saying off air while that was playing,
So that's just you and Steve? Is that the drummer?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you, me and my drummer. We went into
Derek's studio. We recorded the whole thing. Steve got the
drums down, I did the bass, the guitars, the vocals,
and Eric killed it with the production and the master
or the mixing. It was absolutely killer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but is that how you did the full album?
Speaker 2: Or yeah it is, Okay, it's the entire album.
Speaker 1: So the whole thing is just the two of you. Yeah,
Oh wow, wow, very cool? Is that a lot of
Is that a lot of pressure? Is that, you know,
because you're doing I mean, aside from the drums, you're
doing everything else. I mean, that's a lot that's a
lot for one guy.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not particularly a lot of pressure. We had
a bunch of material for a while now, right, and
so we had a lot of time to practice it.
So everything that we did was I went into the studio,
knew exactly what I needed to do for each part. Yeah,
banged it out.
Speaker 1: So in some ways it's easier, right, because you're not
dealing with you know, I've played in a lot of bands,
but never anything like what you're doing in terms of
just you know, two guys going in and doing everything.
So not having to deal with multiple schedules and all
of that. I mean, I can see where in that
sense it's probably a lot easier.
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, that and you can make it sound exactly
how you wanted to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, that's that's great. Now, where does
the song Exorcist?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 1: Or were you inspired by the film or the book.
Speaker 2: Or oh absolutely the film. Yeah, I've seen that film
like one hundred thousand times as a kid, you know,
Oh god, yes, yeah, And well, I mean my band
is based around telling horror stories, the horrors of life.
Our next album is going to be about a little
bit more of a realistic approach. But this album is about,
you know, the fantasy side of horror.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know A funny thing about The Exorcist.
For me, I think it's an incredible film. But I
have a list, actually it's a short list, but I
have a list of films that I think are just
some of the most just incredible theatrical accomplishments of all
time that I never want to see again, you know
what I mean? And that's how I feel about The Exorcist.
I think it's an amazing film, fantastic. I've seen it
once and I never want to see it again. I'm
trying to think, what is it? Requiem for a Dream?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 2: Oh God?
Speaker 1: Dream? You know the film? Yeah, that's that's another one
that's on my list.
Speaker 2: I saw that one once, so yeah.
Speaker 1: Great film. I would recommend it to anybody. I'm never
watching it again. Who writes the songs? Do you write everything?
Or does Steve help you with that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve does the drums. He'll give me ideas for
guitars and solos and whatnot, and and I'll write my parts.
But now that we have we have two new members.
We got our basis will about a little over a
year ago and dude's been killing it. One of the
greatest basses I've ever met in my entire life. And
you get an awesome guy, awesome musician. And we had
just recently within the past like two months, got a
new guitar samed Cody Parsons. He also plays with a
band called Martial Law. Awesome group, awesome bunch of guys.
I've known them for a long long time. Yeah, but
now that we're all writing together, it sounds totally different,
but in the same vein it's really really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, why did you bring in these other guys
initially for live shows?
Speaker 2: Initially? Yeah, and I wanted to see like how it
would go writing with them and everything. And I love it.
It's really cool to be able to write with like
a group of people, you know, because I'm writing with
Steve's awesome, but getting more input, different perspectives, different musical
backgrounds from people. It's absolutely killer.
Speaker 1: It's good that you're able to do that and embrace it,
because not everyone can. You know, some people are kind
of not necessarily selfish, but but you know, some people
can't just or it's hard for them to really kind
of open that up, right, So it's great that you're
able to do that did before these other guys joined
the band, when like, did you ever do any live
shows just you and Steve? Did you ever try to
hole that off or with Yeah, I don't know how
you would even do it, but maybe with backing tracks
or something.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We I mean at that point we didn't have the
money I mean for like an amplifier at that point,
you know, so shows were super far out of our heads.
Once we did get our bassist Johnny years ago, we
played a couple of shows. It's usually down like way
southern mass Okay, we only played a couple, but yeah,
with this new incarnation of Horror. We played one show
with a guitarist we're working with for a little bit
named Brandon and I forgot where it was exactly, but
it went really well. Was an awesome show. We met
the band Vincent Crowley. They they were awesome guys, and uh,
is it a really fun time? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. When these when new people come into the band,
I mean I imagine it takes a little bit of
time for them to learn everything. I mean, it's you know,
it's fairly sophisticate and also too you know, with what
you're doing. And that song Exorcist is a great example.
I mean, you've really got to have your chops because
it's time changes and oh sure, you know, just really
uh you know, it's it's complex, it's not it's not
three chord verse chorus, verus chorus roll.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so i'd imagine you know, they've they've really gotta
spend some time.
Speaker 2: It's funny. It's funny you say that because with the
musicians that I have now, it almost took them no
time at all.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: They sat down, they learned it. It was I was
blown away. Yeah, Will learned it really fast. Cody, I mean,
he's recording bands, he has his own studio, he's doing
all this stuff, and he's still banged out the entire
album a month. It was an absolutely killer.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Oh yeah, that's great. Are all the songs?
Uh well, let me ask it this way. Is there
a theme to the album? I mean, I mean, you
know you talked about, you know what what the subject
matter is is that is that? Is there a story
to the album or are they all just kind of about,
like like what you described earlier.
Speaker 2: Some songs are just kind of about horror in general. Yeah,
Black Widow. We have about Countess Bathory, Exorcist, about the Exorcist,
you know, and then then we have songs like Darkness
and Agony, which are about depression and really that dark place,
you know, that really dark mental place that you get,
especially when you feel hopeless, be like everything's coalling apart
for you. Yeah, and I wanted to take that and
put it into music as well as I could. Yeah,
so the horrors of life?
Speaker 1: Is that something that you deal with?
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, Yeah, you have depression, mental health issues I
think are very very much looked over, underfunded. It's awful.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 1: That's something that we discuss a lot on the show,
and we have act really for years because so I'm
pretty open about it now. I haven't always been, but
I also struggle with depression and uh, you know.
Speaker 2: We who was it?
Speaker 1: We had somebody on the show. Who do we have
on the show last week we were talking about the
same thing music could be? Oh no, it was I'm
sorry it was ever Felt.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this band Ever Felt.
They're from Illinois. They skyped in, but they they they
write a lot about that kind of thing. Too, and
you know, but it's but it's it's also their music
is is kind of dark, but it's they have more
of a psychedelic metal thing going. But we were talking
about with Adam Seglich, the singer, about how, you know,
he likes the music to be really dark even though
the lyrics are actually quite hopeful, because his his approach is,
you know, you're in this dark tunnel. I want to
meet you there. I want to meet you where you
are to bring you this message hope. And he described
it as a tunnel and I was like, yeah, I
can relate to that. I can relate to all of that.
Speaker 2: That's a lot happier than the way I went.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 1: But like, but you're right though, I mean, these things
are not addressed enough, and you know, there's a lot
of stigma around all of that. So and and another
thing we talked about a lot on the show is
when you can take these terrible things and and create
something with them. So you're taking something negative, but you're
creating something positive with it, right, you know, And that's
to me, that's the best therapy, right, you know, absolutely,
if you can use these things that drag us down,
or traumatic events or whatever it is, but then create
with that. Yes, that's the best, the best way to
deal with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. You know, I want to touch upon some
more themes in this upcoming album to uh. It's very
much so along those lines, like I said, string less
away from the like you know, vampires, schools, goblins type stuff,
more into the like what people deal with and what's
going on, and not not in so much of a
political sense, but more just in everyday life type of thing,
you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, well we should play another track from
the album. Do you have a is there one that
you're pushing as kind of a single.
Speaker 2: Well, our first single was Necromancer. I think the next,
I mean, the best one to play. I'd say, let's
hear black Widow.
Speaker 1: Black Widow, Okay, any kind of a story behind this one?
Speaker 2: Well, this one's this one's the one about Countess Bathory.
Huge inspirations from bands like Venom, bands like Macabre and
I absolutely love this song. It's one of our heavier
ones on the album for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, cool, all right, get ready, it's gonna
get even heavier. This is a black Widow. The band
is horrorhw.
Speaker 7: Dis Islands A Brays it's a job set.
Speaker 3: Some don't ball.
Speaker 5: Sell my job. I was better than doctor.
Speaker 7: I said, why that shot off three times a praise.
That's glazing.
Speaker 6: There's a better job.
Speaker 7: She her I says, I like, yeah, a y life,
y all shoth I got back storyboy out.
Speaker 3: I I'm trying. I also about an hour.
Speaker 7: Farther off the hey, I been from.
Speaker 5: My head of my real body. I ask it all
back as.
Speaker 7: I said that, I said hardy, I suppos got to

Speaker 3: Uh good song. The story.
Speaker 5: Right, totally.
Speaker 3: Pretty sick night.
Speaker 6: Say I got my top off.
Speaker 7: The blow stars a black sat side all the times
of praise, that's too lazy.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of sorners.
Speaker 7: Live after my chist, white.
Speaker 5: Life after Chise, That.
Speaker 1: Is Black Widow. The band is Horror, and we have
Dan from the band Horror here with us alive in
studio on this Saturday morning. They're gonna be playing a
big show coming up October nineteenth at Terminus in Nashua,
New Hampshire, which is an amazing venue. You've you've been
there already, right Dan?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I tell everybody. When you walk in the first time,
it's like walking into another world. It is Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the place is awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I practiced there as well with my band, Oh you do.
Oh yeah, so it's a pretty easy, uh, pretty easy commute.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Able Blood our first guest that we had on in
an Hour one they also practiced there. Yeah. No, it's
it's a great it's a great location.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Part of what I really like about your sound is,
you know, you can do the it's fast, it's heavy,
but but it's also very melodic.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, you can really kind of find the groove
in it, because a lot of bands that operate in
this particular genre really aren't that melodic, you know what
I mean? Right, Yeah, So I think that's really cool,
and I assume that's important to you.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 2: It's quite important. We want to be able to have
our songs be as heavy as possible but also have
that nice melody with it. Yeah, something to be able
to pleasantly listen to, right without it just being like grindcore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got some fast fingers too. How old were
you when you started playing guitar?
Speaker 2: I was twelve. Yeah, I'm twenty seven now, so you
started pretty young.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Was it always your goal to be able to
play like that, to be able to play really fast.
Speaker 2: Yes. Ever, since I saw or heard Buckethead on Guitar
hero Too, I knew that he would be my favorite.
And then I found out about the likes of Paul
Gilbert Ingay Mountstein and it just blew up from there. Yeah,
never looked back.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Was that your first instrument guitar?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and then from there you also learned bass obviously.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I taught myself bass. I'm not a very
good bassist, but I can play a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My very first guitar actually won from a Lego sweepstakes.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, it was a bionical sweepstakes with the all
American rejects. I think. I was like god, I must
have been like eight nine, and I just so happened
to win it. It was this junky Chinese guitar with
a Lego sticker slapped on it, No kidding, yep. Then wow, Yeah,
Steve sat down with the guitar one day, the cable
was poking out, crushed it into the guitar, had to
throw it away.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Wow. Now I'm really curious about your vocals
because I can't imagine one of us be like to
sing that way. Are you able to, Like, do you
ever get a sore throat? Or did you learn how
to do it? Because from what everyone tells me, if
you learn how to do it correctly, you won't have
any problem. The only problem is not everyone learns how
to do it correctly, right.
Speaker 2: See, I never learned how to really do it. I
just started doing it until it was come from It
used to hurt. Yeah, like years ago, Oh god, my
throat would be killing me after now. If I'm not dehydrated,
it's fine. Okay, make sure you're hydrated, everybody, Yeah, gotta
you can really mess up your throat, But not when
I'm doing anything like that, it's it just comes out
really clean. It doesn't hurt at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. What about when you're playing live, do
you ever run into a problem where you know, because
you mentioned hydration and obviously if you're playing in a
hot room, you know that that might be an issue.
Does that ever? Uh?
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's happened to me before I was playing
with this a brutal death metal band called Infected God
for a while, okay, and there was this one time
it was it was at a it was at a
marijuana farm, right, And I remember getting up on stage
and my throat was so dry that I was talking
like this, and I get up and I was just
barking into the microphone. I couldn't do anything. I was like, Oh,
I know this sounds terrible, but we gotta do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh wow, do your fingers ever get tired like that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: God, no, No, that's good. That's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what it must be like to play
that way. Yeah. None of the bands that I've ever
played in really, you know, nothing really super fast. So
to me, it's very impressive.
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that. I'll spend sometimes eight to ten
hours a day, especially at studio days, just playing essentially NonStop.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes a lot.
Speaker 1: How many do you guys have more songs that? Obviously
you know? I assume you're, as you mentioned earlier, you've
got new material planned for the next album and you're
writing together. Do you play anything live now that you
haven't already put on this album?
Speaker 2: We're planning to. Okay, we got to make sure it
sounds pretty good first, and then we're gonna be playing
it live as we can. Yeah, so I'm only really
runs about thirty two minutes long, I believe. Okay, so
typically if we're getting like a forty five minute set,
we'll be able to play a bunch of songs. Yeah,
but that's the idea for now.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Well, let's let's play another one. So I'm
curious about this song, Compelled to Kill.
Speaker 2: It's compelled to Kill. That one was about Diary of
a Serial Killer, which is an insane movie if you've
never seen it or sorry, Henry Portrait of a serial Killer.
There we go. Amazing movie, absolutely incredible. It follows the
whole movie is through his eyes, you know, as opposed
to like, you know, the people running away, you know,
the the victims of the movie. It's him. The whole
movie's him, and it's twisted. Yeah, awesome stuff. And the
music was heavily heavily inspired by bands like Children About
Them and of course macab I love them, they do everything,
you know. Yeah, but the Children About Him was I
was in a huge kick with them for a while
and man it, Alexei Lejo opened my opened my eyes,
brought my perspectives to a lot of different stuff.
Speaker 1: Really in what way, Oh, the.
Speaker 2: Way he does melodies. There's especially like songs like mass
Insanity and then if you want peace, Prepare for War.
The guitar work and these songs are unparalleled. They're amazing,
and I wanted to try to emulate something like that,
and I'm no Alexi Leo, so it came out different.
But but yeah, this is a song I'm actually really
proud of, one of my favorite solos I've ever written.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, oh very curious here of this said,
All right, let's give this a spin. If you are
just joining us. We have Dan from the band Horror
here with us, live in studio, and this is called
Compelled to kill.
Speaker 7: Even it's hid, it alive, gas in my mind hurt
cause in my eyes getting alive.
Speaker 3: Give it to my.
Speaker 5: All shot.
Speaker 3: Shouting the jewl w si you strike to ou? Why
shouting the gel? Why you wanna tell me.
Speaker 8: Suthing night side everybody, I'm telling you, my stu si.
Speaker 7: Even inside even alive, the sooners, high.
Speaker 6: Girdles and my eyes getting even alive, give it.
Speaker 5: To my dolls, got go.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna shouting the gel wells that you'll try to
go out. I'm gonna shouting to Gell, why you wanna.
Speaker 3: Tell it s something?
Speaker 8: Says Donating s s watch you want to tell.
Speaker 6: You something the side.
Speaker 1: I like that dramatic ending. That's cool. That is compelled
to kill. And the band is Horror. We have Dan
from the band Horror here with us live in studio.
By the way, some chat room activity. Our friend Spelfy
Ham is in there, of course from Terminus and says,
Hi Dan, Hi, Matt Hi. Jen bf Raid says this
song is awesome. Andre Dumont of course from Dad. Harrison
says waking up to some horror. This show hits right
in the morning spot. Thank you very much, Thank you
very much. Let's see hello to easy beat society.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Spelfie made a comment about what we were talking earlier
about mental health. She said, facts too much stigma around
talking about mental health. Absolutely, absolutely, although not.
Speaker 2: As much as there used to be, which is uh, absolutely,
which is great.
Speaker 1: It is getting better, it is getting better. Let's see.
Eleanor is in the chat room says I want these
horror vocals inside my body. That's an interesting way of
phrasing that she wants to be able to sing that way.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: Let's go with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to I got to see Eleanor on Tuesday.
I went there to meet with her and about some things,
and yeah, lots of good things going on, lots of
positive things. Very excited, very excited. Oh, Spelfie says, yeah,
the whole Terminus crew in the chat and Andre says, oh,
those vocals will be coursing through everybody molecule at Terminus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they will. I saw your pa man. That thing
looks crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, Jenny, you wanted to you were gonna
tell us more about that show.
Speaker 2: And all the bands you're hearing today.
Speaker 9: You can see the live at Terminus Underground on Saturday,
October nineteenth. Terminus is located at one thirty four Haines
Street in Nashua. Doors will open at five pm twenty
one plus byop. Entry is twenty dollars and includes the
Haunted House.
Speaker 1: And the show.
Speaker 9: So check out all the bands from today live at
Terminus Underground on October nineteenth.
Speaker 1: Very good, very good. And if you are listening live
on Saturday, of course, coming up in the third hour,
we have the Gray Curtain, a couple members joining us,
I think, and really what they are fascinating, what a
unique sound, they ask, it will be really looking forward
to that. Dan, tell us about your live show. I mean,
do you do you have any effects or anything, or
do you guys just play.
Speaker 2: Or I mean typically we just play. We have like
a gimmick or anything like that. It's always cool when
the venue has like some stuff up, like Terminus is
just loaded with crazy stuff like skeletons, spider web, yeahsterious, mayhem,
you know, the whole nine. But yeah, yeah, whenever we play,
we typically just wear like what I'm wearing now, T shirt,
jeans and just go up there and play.
Speaker 1: I'm having visions of you know, the future, you guys
in an arena with a big screen of all kinds
of oh yeah, all kinds of terrible things happening you guys.
Speaker 2: That'd be great. We want to take over the world.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. Now, if you gotten
to play with any if you gotten open for any
any of the bands you know you were talking earlier
about some of the bands you really love and admire,
you have you gotten to any opportunities to play with
any of those bands yet.
Speaker 2: Or not quite?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I played with some really really cool bands, like, for instance,
Permanent Disfigurement was an awesome band I played with with
Infected God. Yeah, I had played a couple of shows
with them, and Vincent Crowley was another one. They were
absolutely killer guys. I knew about them prior and they're
awesome music. Yeah, but we haven't played too too many
shows to be able to actually do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But yeah, for what it's worth, all the bands that
we played with, all of our flyers are still up
on the Instagram and everything. They're all wonderful bands. There
hasn't been a single band we played with where I've disliked. So, yeah,
you guys are interested, go check them out. Everyone's gonna
be a killer band.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, excellent.
Speaker 3: What was the.
Speaker 2: Your your logo?
Speaker 1: Who designed your logo?
Speaker 2: So that's an artist named Alex Ridley. Okay, he's based
out of Canada, an old friend of mine. I've known
him for probably a decade now, and I asked him like, hey, man,
can you just make something like a bones and bloody
and just see what you come up with.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, dude, whatever, And he sent me that
and I was like, oh, yeah, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I was particularly curious about it. Because
I like about the logo. Is so a lot of
the bands again that are in kind of your genre,
they have logos with fonts kind of similar to that,
but they are indecipherable to me, right, but your logo,
so you've got that cool kind of fun but but
you can.
Speaker 2: Read it, you know what I mean. See, that's what
we wanted to We didn't want it to be like,
you know, the back of a computer chair or where
you've been laying on it too long, it's all you. No,
we didn't want it to be something like that. We
wanted people actually read it and know who we were.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, because there's a lot of it. Jeez,
I remember uh so years ago. I don't know if
you remember Strawberries and then Fye bought it, but you
know the old music store there, and I just remember uh,
flipping through CDs at work or putting CDs away and
and just you know, looking at the covers of some
of these bands, and and just and again and that
specific genre, just being like, I don't know what that says.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of them are unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's it's you know, because I'm also
a marketing guy, so from my perspective, it's like, why
would you want something that no one can read? But
but but that seems to be the thing for a
lot of these bands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't understand it personally, but
it looks really cool. So especially seeing that live with
the music, it adds a lot of atmosphere. I see
why they do it. But as far as marketing goes.
Speaker 1: He writes it, Yeah, some of those album covers too.
Speaker 2: Oh man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a Cannibal Corpse album cover that still gives
me nightmares.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which one I don't remember the game.
Speaker 1: I've blocked it out, but yeah, probably all probably any of.
Speaker 2: Them, all, any of them. That's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm actually not even kidding when I say this.
If I had to put Cannibal Corps CDs into the bin,
I would try not to look directly up the s Like,
I'm actually not kidding. I'm very squeamish about that. But
uh no. But anyway, so the point being though I
really like the logo. I think it's cool, awesome. Yeah, absolutely, Now,
what is kind of the future trajectory for you guys?
So obviously, so the nineteenth you mentioned that's the official
CD release party, correct it is? And what's what's the
name of the album by the way, I don't know
if we talked about it.
Speaker 2: It's self titled.
Speaker 1: That's a good way to do it. Yeah, And then
so where is that available? Are there physical copies or.
Speaker 2: We don't have physical copies yet? I'm okay, we're pretty
broke you yeah. Yeah, so no physical copies. We're working
on getting some merch for this show. Hopefully it shows
up in time. But yeah, otherwise, that's pretty much where
we're at with like that kind of media. As far
as like streaming, we are on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube.
Definitely check out our YouTube. We're really pumping up those numbers. Cool, good, good,
But we're based on any stream platform that you can access.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: We're gonna continue uploading to YouTube, videos, shorts, whatever it
might be. Okay, just kind of keep everyone updated and
have a little fun like maybe some playthrough videos and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I think right now, that's the most important thing, is
well obvious. Well no, actually, let me rephrase that. So
being on all the streaming platforms, that's the most important thing.
And you've got that, sure, But I think after that
YouTube right now is the most important thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh, I absolutely agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and I mean it changes, you know, tomorrow
something completely different the important thing, But right now I
think it's definitely YouTube. So that's right. So your numbers
are growing quickly.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. In the first two months we got fifteen
thousand without advertising.
Speaker 1: It all fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah good. We just set up a little bit of
a Google ad campaign. So the last couple of days
we've gotten like two or three more thousand.
Speaker 1: Okay, excellent. Oh you're on the right track then, world.
Speaker 2: So excited man, Yeah, yeah, we want to take this
as far as we can.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, Well, you're off to a great start. So
that's amazing.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, definitely. So we're approaching the top of
the hour, so in the moment we'll play we'll play
one more track. Nuke is the other one that you sent.
But anything else we should know about where people should
go to find you online. Obviously, you know, we talked
about the nineteenth but anything else you want to make
sure our listeners know about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if you had a horror dot band instead
of dot Com dot band wikie cool, Yeah, it'll have
links to all of our social media's Instagram, Facebook, even
stuff like SoundCloud, you know, everything's there, and our full
album on YouTube is gonna be the first thing that
you see right as you get onto the page. Okay,
and I haven't updated it yet, but it's on. We
have different tabs like, for instance, shows, and we have
merch that you can request when it's available, and yeah,
I mean that's the horrid up band is going to
be primarily where you can find everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as far as outside of that, try to keep
updated with our social media is and see where we're at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent, excellent Nuke What should we know about this?
Speaker 2: So Nuke is full time fully titled Nuke the World?
Speaker 1: Oh okay.
Speaker 2: It's our commentary on basically taking the position of someone
pushing the big red button, you know, just destroying everything
thing mutually assured destruction, you know. Yeah, it's our take
on how much we detest war and how we see
the world going right now. The song is a tongue
in cheek kind of take on that, okay, and it's
our mash song.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, very good. So we're gonna close out
the segment with this, and then at the top of
the hour, We're gonna play the new Chasing the Devil
track one more time today their brand new single lighted up.

interesting sound, so yeah, looking forward to talking to them.
