Interview w/ Jonny Of Sworn Amongst 4/27/2012
April 29, 2012 09:04 AM PDT
British thrashers Sworn Amongst, the foursome behind one of 2008’s most ambitious metal debuts And So It Begins, bring you their uncompromisingly fearsome follow-up, Severance. Driven by the band’s unrelenting will to cause general mayhem, Severance brings the best of what was to be found on their previous release and turns up the heat tenfold. Severance showcases the band’s diversity and ability to create powerful modern metal while honoring the roots of traditional thrash and speed metal. Since forming in 2003 Sworn Amongst has steadily built a fan base with their studio release and their brutal live performances. After 2005’s independently released debut Derision of Conformity, Sworn Amongst caught the eye of metal label Rising Records who signed them in 2007. The band headed into the studio to record And So It Begins which was well received by fans and critics, with Metal Hammer calling the album “A massively promising & accomplished debut.” In my interview you will hear more recent news some of their sites need to be updated with latest information. This was a follow up interview first one was right around the release of the "Severance" album they have since released a ep called "Evolution" http://www.swornamongst.com/

6 Years ago Mudface began their ascent to the forefront of the San Francisco bay area metal scene. Formed in the summer of 2005, Chris Dinsmore and former guitarist Ted Aguilar (Death Angel) wanted to create music that was heavy and brooding, yet carefully balanced with flawless dynamics, and cathartic interwoven breakdowns. A blueprint that the band proudly adheres to this day. The sound is dark, heavy, electric and explosive. Their collective influences include many genres past and present, paying respect to those who have come before, yet focused on carving their own path. Passion drives this band not trends, while striving to constantly evolve. On the stage ultimately is where this band belongs.
Vocalist Chris Dinsmore is and enigmatic powerhouse, with words that burn into your mind effortlessly from one extreme to the other. On Guitar Rich Pia is a freak of nature. Heavy groove and unorthodox riffing are the order of the day. For Rich there is no box. Holding down the low end on bass, Hugo Calderon storms the stage with and uncompromising subsonic assault. Bringing a vengeful and melodic intelligence to the Mudface sound. On Drums Pete Bostaph, brother of Paul Bostaph. (Slayer, Testament, Exodus) brings the monster to life injecting it with organic beats mechanized destruction and a tasteful dose of raw power. Keyboardist/Vocalist Brett Crane infects the sound with profound contrast and character through synths, samples and a cacophony of noises as well as his voice. With a brand new album and two 4 song EP’s in their catalog this self proclaimed blue collar group of musicians feels they are ready to take on the world. Their mission statement is simple World domination!!

Memory of a Melody is a 5 piece from San Antonio, TX. Having paid its dues working club shows, touring, and opening for immensely popular touring acts, the band has quickly risen to local dominance through high energy stage shows and an unforgettable array of songs. After much demand by fans for an album, MOAM enlisted producer Bryan Scott to begin work on their debut record “Things That Make You Scream." An album that boldly attacks the blandness of modern rock by wrapping pounding rhythms, and intricate guitar work around catchy, hard-edged vocals. The diverse collection of songs masterfully demonstrates the band's ability to pummel and thrash while fitting in perfectly with radio rock. The band is currently working on putting together a collection of live recordings. The live collection will include video and sound recordings from both intimate and high profile shows including their Things That Make You Scream CD Release party and the highly successful 2nd annual MELODYFEST, as well as others. The band also has intentions to take MELODYFEST (an annual festival appropriately named for Memory of a Melody) on the road.

Stigma Strain possesses the technical ability and song writing prowess to rival that of its peers. Along with its aggressive, heart pounding sound; Stigma Strain has a live show that is second to none. “Larger than Life” is the resounding mantra that is held within every member of the band. Fans of the Nashville based quartet will find something that they can relate to in both a live setting and on tape. Each member exudes a level of care and professionalism to fans and members of the music community alike, treating each individual that comes in contact with the band not only as fellow fans of heavy music but more so as friends and extended family.
