What's going on on the 72 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,479 back there? 73 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 6: So on the back, it's kind of a neat story. 74 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:25,599 There's there's a guy I found on Facebook named Brian 75 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,560 Casasi had to pronounce. Yeah, he's from Canada. He makes 76 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,680 really bizarre art, painted art, okay. And I came across 77 00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:34,599 that image and I asked him if it was available 78 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,599 for use, and he said yes, and he said it 79 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:40,039 was free. I felt bad not paying for it because 80 00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:43,120 it's still art, so I paid for it anyway. And 81 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:45,400 then I actually have that actual painting at my house. 82 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,560 He sent it to me. Yeah, but I love the 83 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,400 outwork the guy does, so I asked him if you 84 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:49,840 can use it? 85 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:51,879 Speaker 1: Oh, that is very cool. Thank you guys, thank you 86 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000 very much. Now that's awesome. If you are just joining us, 87 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,479 we have Vigil here with us live in studio. Let's 88 00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:00,680 talk about so this this is released through a label. 89 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 6: Yes, it's Argonauta Records out of Italy. 90 00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, okay, Now, how did you how did 91 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,280 you get to work with them? How did that come about? 92 00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 6: So we were we were looking to release the album 93 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,080 and it's as you know, it's expensive to make any 94 00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,800 kind of physical media, and we were looking at a 95 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,079 pretty good amount of money to make just Viles alone. Yeah, 96 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,079 so I was trying to shop what we did to 97 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,519 labels to see if they just pick it up to 98 00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:28,680 help us distribute and manufacture. Yeah, and Argonaut it gave 99 00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:30,639 us a great deal on what it would cost to 100 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,600 manufacture and distribute that. So so we have more of 101 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,959 what they call a production deal than a record deal. Right, 102 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,879 but it was literally half the price that would have 103 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,120 cost us to do it. Oh, no kidding. So they 104 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,279 did it for half the price, and we got on 105 00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:45,839 their roster on their website, some promotion from them for 106 00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,199 two years, so all that helped too, and it was 107 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,360 a good deal, so we just took it. 108 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, the album was already recorded by that time. We 109 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,240 started looking for someone to help with the production. Oh okay, 110 00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:58,040 so they didn't have to foot the bill for any 111 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,399 other studio costs. 112 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: Right, Oh that's actually yeah, Oh, very good, very good.

Showed up to the studio and uh, 285 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,840 I went five hours of record singing, and at the 286 00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:13,320 end of the night, Aaron said to me, yeah, you 287 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,679 know what he did good, but we. 288 00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: Have to erase everything you did. We recorded. 289 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,039 Speaker 8: It wasn't good enough for him. And I was thinking 290 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,159 I was doing a good job. But the next morning 291 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,799 I showed up to record again and he made this 292 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,320 magic tea that just turned me into a monster. 293 00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 5: Yeah. 294 00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:34,879 Speaker 8: Yeah, and ever since, I mean that he he I 295 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,879 learned a lot from Eric. 296 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: I mean it was a great experience. 297 00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:42,519 Speaker 8: Yeah, and he actually was teaching me techniques as far 298 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,600 as singing.

Yeah, and 365 00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:16,000 then I kind of got obsessed with cars and then 366 00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:19,919 started a family, and I didn't touch music for eighteen 367 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:22,840 or so years, eighteen until I met this guy at 368 00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:25,840 work one day, and yeah, he talked me into picking 369 00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:27,639 up the bass and starting to mess around again. And 370 00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:30,159 I quickly realized, like, wow, I should probably get a 371 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,679 new instrument here because this thing's old. 372 00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:32,039 Speaker 5: Yep. 373 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I just fell right back down the rabbit hole. Yeah, 374 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,200 here we are. 375 00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:38,559 Speaker 1: But did you always I mean, eighteen years is a 376 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,200 long time, But did you always kind of know in 377 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,320 the back of your mind that you're going to know? 378 00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 7: I didn't know. Actually, I was on a different path 379 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,919 for a long time. Yeah, not a bad one. Just 380 00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:52,159 playing music was not on my priorities. Yeah, but everybody 381 00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,759 else in this band is very active in the music 382 00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:58,799 industry for decades, I guess at this point, depending on 383 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,159 who we're talking about, eighty nine was my first band. 384 00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,559 Speaker 8: Two thousand and four for me, Yeah, I go back 385 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,159 to the days when I was in college and I 386 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,720 started a little trash metal type of band. I was 387 00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:17,440 playing drums at the time, and then, uh, I wanted 388 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,360 to do something more extreme because I always like death metal. 389 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,360 That's why my vocals are death metal inspired. And in 390 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,639 Boston I was playing drums with a band called Summoning 391 00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:30,320 Eight are still active. 392 00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: Uh. Then I would and form a little side project. 393 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 8: It was like a grindcore death metal band, Vicious Insanity. 394 00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: I did some session drumming and some other bands. 395 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:40,519 Speaker 6: Uh. 396 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,679 Speaker 8: And then uh, from that, I went to sing for Untuned, 397 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,799 which is another band I was. That's when my Vocal 398 00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:52,120 Journey sat it. And then going to shows, I met Justin. 399 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,200 I was playing guitar for us, and I've done Justin 400 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,639 for a long time. Justin has been always a doom 401 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,919 guy and going into like Boston, going and going to shows, 402 00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:04,880 we talked about doom. Yeah, and that's how I actually 403 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,680 ended up with Vigil okay, telling me that he was 404 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,440 doing something like a project. He sent me the songs, 405 00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:14,480 and I mean it was what I was looking for 406 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,359 right up my alley. I showed up for the first 407 00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:21,480 rehearsal and I was kind of afraid to growl because 408 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,160 I think they actually liked it. 409 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: Have something here, So yeah, that's that's where I am now. 410 00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:30,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I get the impression this all came together 411 00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:32,799 pretty quickly, right. It sounds like it was, you know, 412 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,519 a situation where it's like that magic is there right away. 413 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,599 Although I know Randy, you you came in later, right, 414 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,920 but you were already kind of working with these guys 415 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,559 in a sense, right. 416 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been scrambling around, scrambling around a little bit 417 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,000 with Craig in another side project that we have a 418 00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:55,680 World Worth Burning where it's just instrumental, but there would 419 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,079 always be discussion about what was going on in Vigil, 420 00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:01,680 So I kind of had an ear to the wall 421 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,119 about that. 422 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,519 Speaker 1: But but yeah, you guys have a that's a cool name, 423 00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:08,680 A World Worth Burning like that. 424 00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:11,799 Speaker 6: Yeah, And again that that was one of the successes 425 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:14,720 out of COVID. Like, like I had said earlier, during COVID, 426 00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:16,720 the band kind of slowed down a little bit, Yeah, 427 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,400 because everyone was afraid to be in a room. We 428 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,440 didn't know what was going on. Yeah, And you know, 429 00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:24,000 me and Joe we're still spending time together, like doing 430 00:18:24,079 --> 00:18:25,960 stuff as friends, right, and we're like, well, we should 431 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,759 just be using the room because we're still here, right, 432 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,839 And we started working on Vigil stuff. But then we 433 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,720 started to just like play other things. And I've always 434 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,880 wanted to be like an instrumental post rock type band, 435 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,160 so the music kind of developed into that, and then 436 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,839 then we we kind of started a side project by accident, 437 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,759 just because I needed some of it for these songs 438 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,680 ago that weren't going to fit anything else. So and 439 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,599 that's kind of where Randy shows up, you know, because 440 00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:52,119 he was in a room across the hall. Yeah, and 441 00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:54,119 I knew he played, and he played really well, so 442 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,240 we brought him in to try it out and it worked. 443 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 5: So yeah, that's outstanding, excellent. 444 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:02,799 Speaker 1: Uh we should uh, you guys want to play another 445 00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:06,119 track from the from the EP.
