Tell us about your Band, Lineup?

Been at it since 1997 with

Bastard...Bass, vocals

The Ambassador...Drums, Percussion

What is going on with you these days ?

Just released our newest record called "Vengeance" and we are currently on "The Great American Rampage" tour with Skindred, Ankla and Karnivool. In the middle of the tour at the moment and it’s amazing.

Tell us about your new material?

The new material was a collaboration of everyone. Not just writing on each other’s respective instruments, I wrote guitar riffs for this album. Andy wrote vocals and Ken wrote guitar riffs as well. All in all we just wanted to show another side of each other’s ability, which is something we have never done before. So, instead of me coming up with a beat, I would stay at the practice space and record drums, guitar, bass and vocal ideas. A lot of songs were written like that. Some made it and some did not.

Biggest Crowd you have played to?

40,000 at the Krock a thon at Vernon Downs, NY...2001. Pretty nuts.

Here is a standard Question I ask most Bands: If you could send one cd/album up in the space shuttle to be left on another planet, to be found by other life what cd/album would you send to represent American Metal?

Metallica's "Master Of Puppets", it is hands down my favorite and I think it’s many peoples favorite metal record of all time...

You have always made yourself available to your fans, in their face, with no Ego's...I know this because the last time you were here In Vegas I asked Elias to call my Best Friend Nick using my cell phone.... Elias called Nick and told Him "I have a bullet with your name on it" That made a huge impact on my friend Nick, and that is the kind of thing that is above and beyond the call of duty....Do you remember that night, or have a similar story to share?

Well all of us in the band have done that. A lot of fans have come up and asked if we could talk to their kids, friends. ect...The availability to meet someone you admire is pretty easy compared to what it was years ago. Shit, if even got a glimpse of a person I admired, I would freak out. Now, kids can walk right up to you and say what's up to you. So, anything that we can do to make 5 minutes to a person be the best in their lives, then why not. Without our fans, we would not be where we are today and that is a known fact.

What are you currently listening to on your ipod/cd player?

Well, I don’t listen to a lot of new music these days. There has to be a band that will totally blow me away for me to even be interested. Plus, I don’t get much from listening to a cd. I like watching them and if I like it, I will listen, but I will say the bands we are on tour with at the moment all have records out and have pretty amazing albums. The new Skindred is amazing.

In your opinion who is the darkest band out there today?

Well, can’t really think of one, but Black Sabbath was always writing dark material. So, I guess it would be them.

Who is the Best Guitar Hero in the Band?

Well Elias is the only one who actually plays it so it would have to be him...I bought one and thought it was stupid and I would rather play a real guitar myself, but I would not mind having one of our songs in that game.

The first Time I was turned on to your Music, I was Driving with my friend Nick from Vegas to California at 1 am, He said "put this in and listen"   it was "in The Air Tonight" I was blown away.... Is this the song that opened doors for you?

I would not say it opened doors but it did help expand the fans base. The song that really did it is “What A Day”. That was our first single and still to this day kids sing it louder than most of our new material.

 Most passionate fans are located in what County?

USA of course. The most passionate city? MADISON, WI

Hardest part of your job?

Leaving behind the loved ones for sure. I have two dogs that I love to death and two pet turtles that I miss. Plus, we all have significant others and that gets hard as well.

When you were growing up what music did you listen to?

Well, I listened mostly to classic rock, metal and hardcore. Anything outside of that I was not interested in.

Thanks So Much for your time, is there anything else you would like to plug or add for our readers?

Well our new record titled "Vengeance" is out in stores as we speak.
