FAV AUSTRALIAN ACT YOU CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF RIGHT NOW?
Buzz Kull
BEST GIG YOU PLAYED THIS YEAR AND WHY?
NYC - Warsaw w/ Katatonia. The crowd was just really with us on that one. Katatonia were amazing to tour with as a whole as well.
TELL US A CORE MEMORY FROM A MUSIC FESTIVAL SET?
The first time I played Psycho Las Vegas. I played after King Diamond in a smaller venue at The Hardrock Casino. Blew my knee out during the first song and keeping people engaged without being able to really even walk was an amazing challenge.
BIGGEST HOLY SHIT MOMENT FOR YOU THIS YEAR?
Signing with Metal Blade Records.
ANY SNEAK PEEKS OF INBOUND PLANS NEXT YEAR?
Should be on the road more than I have been in recent years with the release of “Prophecy” on MBR. Back to Europe for the first time since the pandemic so I am definitely looking forward to that.
BEST ADVICE GOING INTO 2024?
Don’t be a piece of shit. Praise be to Baalberith.
