Interview: Zimon from A Thousand Reasons

Can you give a short history of the band?
    Zimon: The band was born at the end of 2009, from my idea. I left my old band (Scarecrown) and after I realized I needed to do something new in music, something new that started from myself, to express my vision of music, and I started to write some new stuff. Blackie, listen my materials and joined in the project, as guitarist and vocals. After 3 month of production, the first EP "Strength and Fight" was released. 

Do the name have any meaning?
     Zimon: The meaning of the name is simple, a thousand reasons is one of my favorite song of Disfear from the album Misanthropic Generation. An other meaning is the fact that with "a thousand reasons" we can get to do many things, good or bad in our life."

On the band's facebook it say that you are working on the bands first full album how is that going?
     Zimon: "After about one year from the release of the EP, at the end of 2011, we started to write some new stuff, but at the moment the pre-production is stopped. A Thousand Reasons is only a sideproject, I've another band called Overunit Machine, and we're
working so hard to release the new album for the next year."

What should we expect it to sound like?
     Zimon: "The sound of the new songs is improved, more aggressive and powerfull, more experimental, will be a sort of concept album about the evolution of humanity and all the consequences behind it."

When should we expect the release?
     Zimon:" "Sin.Thesis" is the title of the album, but I don't know when will be release, maybe some previews of new songs will be release next year."

What are you going to do to support this album?
     Zimon: "As mentioned above, first of all, will be release a preview of 2 or 3 songs to see the response of these, and meanwhile we'll search a label.
Also I hope to complete the line-up to promote our music onstage"

Interview: Alex from I Am War

How is this band differ from other bands in punk/hardcore?
Our band is just about creating brutal honest music. Brandan and I have diverse musical backgrounds and like all sorts of music. We are just about kicking ass and taking names, we don't care if people like it. Some bands worry about that. We don't.

What was the game plan going to record the band's debut album "Outlive You All"?
We wanted to record 13-16 songs that were well under 3 minutes long. Really raw angry shitkickers that make you want to break stuff.

What's your favorite song off the album?
I like "Plug Me In". It's about listening to hardcore punk and metal as a kid and how pumped up and alive it made me feel. It's about still getting that feeling to this day as well.

When should expect some more music?
Well our record is out 8/28/2012 so we don't have plans to record for a while.

Who are your idols and why?
My mother and father for being honest good people and working hard to provide a good life for each other and their children. Not the most metal answer, but it's the truth. I don't worship people in bands.
