2. Who does the majority of the writing? Is it a group thing or does someone handle the writing duties?
We all do. Different members have different styles and contributions.
3. Where is the band based out of ? Where did you want to the band to end up? What was the dream city to have as your home base once you got out of your scene?
Based in San Antonio, TX and we plan to promote and build out of San Antonio.
4. What is your genre?
What bands do you use to explain to people what you sound like
Metal and Rock. The music a lot of the times is technical and brutal. I would say Pantera meets Iron Maiden.
5. Can we buy anything from you Cd's shirts etc and where can we buy them?
New CD will be coming out shortly which is a full album. We have few downloads available on Reverbnation until the CD comes out. We have quit a bit of merch which will be available soon online through Facebook and at evenindeath.net plus we will be adding stores that carry our stuff. When the album is done we are going to put it available to download across many platforms.
6. Do you have studio time lined up anything new coming soon?
Our album is almost finished being mixed and mastered. After it comes out we plan to hit the studio for more songs to follow up plus a few cool collaborations with some well known names.
7. Have you ever been on tour? If so where and with who?
I have toured previously with my other bands Killswitch Incorporated and The Killing Inside. I don't think the other band members have toured.
8. What is your favorite band? Who are the bands who influenced you?
My favorites are Faith No More, American Head Charge, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Coal Chamber, Judas Priest, Dope, Static-X, Overkill, Anthrax and quite a few more. I think they all inspire me.
9. Do you have a website? And do I have to verify that I am 18 to enter it?
Yes. Evenindeath.net which has no age restrictions.
10. What about your music do you want people to remember? What is the quality you want to hit people when they hit play?
We try to write songs that are catchy, heavy, and distinctly our. We are not trying to sound like anybody else. The majority of the time are songs carry a positive message in there. Sometimes it is a little darker and more personal. I strongly believe that somebody that has never seen us like gets something from our songs stuck in their head. I also write to motivate and validate feelings they have.
11. Name a person who is integral to your band that nobody knows about , what person drives your band like they are part of the band? Who is the extra member ?
All the guys stand out which is why both guitarists are lead guitarists.
12. Tell nerds like me tell us about your live rig and equipment.
We try to get a top of the line sound. Our shows bring more to the table than just songs. We raise the bar with additional lighting which does include high power lasers. Our next step is building the look of the stages. We have stand up banners but we like to add more than that. We you see us live we want you to get more than just our songs.
13.What is your musical guilty pleasure that you are ashamed of?
None. I listen to Kesha, N.W.A., Elle King, Dead Or Alive, Nathaniel Rateliff and a lot of metal bands that you would probably expect.
14.If you could custom build a band who would be the members?
Mine. I do have a couple other projects with well known touring musicians but I can't let the cats out of the bags.
15.Message to the fans? What is it?
We hope that are music is able to be related by our fans whether your are pissed, sad, happy lost, confused and all the other daily BS.
16.If you could bring back one metal legend who would it be?
Dimebag or Randy Rhodes
17. Who in the band has the stinkiest feet?
Everyone baths pretty well.
18. What is the worst album by your favorite band?
Wayne Static's solo album. It's just not Static-X.
19. How do you think your band will break up?
I suppose as bands members grow, especially when we tour, things could change.
20.Last but not least , Zepplin or The Who
Neither..... Queen.
