Virginia Creeper

Vocals

 

Thanks so much for this Interview. Let's start off with a brief history of the Band. Who is
VIRGINIA CREEPER ?

VIRGINIA CREEPER is The Final Prophet sent forth to Proclaim the Truth.

How would you describe your Music ?

Prophetic Industrial Metal.

I have to admit, that it was your cover of Crue's Shout at the Devil that got my attention and drew me in. I checked out
the rest of your Music and found it so amazing I got the CD instantly. What's the story behind your decision to do a cover
tune of Motley Crue ?

VIRGINIA CREEPER was influenced by the early music and image of Motley Crue. The song ‘Shout at the Devil’ was a personal favorite and the chorus plainly conveys a daring statement.

I like all the songs on the CD, but the song I personally could relate to most was JUST LIKE CAIN. The driving rhythym of the music and the songwriting is a truly awesome combination. excellent Musicians indeed. Tell me a bit about the rest of the
Band ?

The band consists of: Guitarist/music co-writer KIRK ROTH…..Bassist: GREG ROTH and Drummer: R.I.P. all are schooled musicians. Guitarist Kirk Roth also owns a recording studio and works as Engineer /studio musicians.

Any other covers on the Horizon ?

The next song to be posted on the Official VIRGINIA CREEPER Myspace page is a cover song and will be included on the upcoming ‘Untitled’ EP……that is all I can disclose at this time.

How about Touring Plans ? When and where can we see VIRGINIA CREEPER Live ?

VIRGINIA CREEPER is currently is the recording studio writing and recording the upcoming 4 song EP.
More information will be posted on the Official V.C. Myspace page.

Your Music has a very powerful presence. Which of your songs is your personal favorite and why ?

‘JUST LIKE CAIN’…the guitar solo is brilliant.

Is your WHO'S YOUR GOD CD a conceptual CD ?

‘WHO’S YOUR GOD’ is not a question, rather a statement:

“I will lay your cities waste,
and you shall become desolate,
and you shall know WHO’S YOUR GOD”

I see you've got lots of influences from Kiss to Dimmu Borgir. Which of your Influences do you think has the most impact on you and why ?

Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson….mostly bands that had a visual impact on the music scene as much as they did musically. 

What separates VIRGINIA CREEPER from the influences and other Bands ?

The message of VIRGINIA CREEPER is not my own.
VIRGINIA CREEPER is merely the harbinger.

I saw on a Bio where you mention these days of moral decay and increased terrorism. Man, I've got to admit, it's getting to be a wild world we live in. So, what in your opinion is the truth about what's going on around us? Are we really in the last days ?

This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

I noted an overall religious overtone in your music and imagery. Being so, I'm curious about what if any religion it conveys?

VIRGINIA CREEPER is The Final Prophet sent forth to Proclaim the True Gospel, and to expose the false doctrines of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Institution , spiritually know as The Whore of Babylon.

On MySpace, you get several comparisons to Marilyn Manson. How do you feel about that ?

No comment.

You've got what I see as a unique look. Do you find people judging you by your appearance rather than the music ?

Most of the negative response the band gets is from the ’so called’ Christians community, who use the name of GOD in vain.

What type of person is Virginia Creeper once the make up comes off ?

A sheep amongst wolves.

Describe Virginia Creeper in ONE word :

Emissary.
