THE TIMES COMPLETLY NON SERIOUS INTERVIEW : Sever The Wicked

2.What do you classify your sound as, Who do you tell people you sound like? We cant put a classification on our sound, but if you took Lamb of God, Iron Maiden, Hatebreed and Pantera and threw them in a blender you might get close.

It is something we all love and are passionate about. For us just sharing our music to the world is enough for us to keep going. So in that sense it will always pay off.

5.How do you feel about females in metal getting special attention? Do you feel it is fair? 

We wouldn't say it is “special” attention. We like anyone who shares our craft getting attention.

Do you think your music contributes to anger and hatred? No our music is positive in meaning.

In our band we try and stay clear of blatantly using those subjects, but if that is how the fans intemperate some of our songs then that's their own personal point of view. 

8.We have dive into some pretty deep issues here do you think your music sends a message and if so what is it? Yes, our songs are about the truth of drug addiction, bullies, world events and other issues most people might face from day to day. And some songs are about unity and brotherhood.

9.The market has changed and many bands believe that record labels are a thing of the past, with many labels now charging bands to “sign” how do you think a band can make it in todays scene? 

First off good quality music and hard work are important. Build relationships and market yourself and keep your mind open.

10.Why with the thousands of options including netflix , sporting events everything on demand 

Why do you think people should take the time to listen to what you have to say in your music? 

You can listen to music while driving, working, exercising, cooking and many other things, so the option to hear hard hitting metal is always going to be there regardless. Music hits on so many emotions that Netflix cant!

11.How do you feel about pay to play? Do you think it is fair for a band to have to pay money to play? 

Depends on the situation, Who else is on the bill? How much to play? How much can we benefit from it? Every situation is different.

13.In country music and even in some cases rock music is written and performed by different people would your band perform a song written by someone else? 

If the song fit in to the music that we have all ready written and was good fit in to what we are doing then it would something that we would consider.

Basic marketing 101 Sex sells.
