1. How did you get started as a band?

We formed in 2016 from the ashes of our previous band that we started when we were teenagers, we then spent the next few years refining our sound and solidifying our line-up before releasing our debut single ‘Abandoned’ in 2020.

2. How would you describe your sound?

We often describe ourselves as a blend of mid-2000s metalcore, modern metalcore, having that classic melodic riff based approach of the mid-2000s style, combined with a modern heaviness.

 

 

3. What bands/artists would you say have influenced your style of music?

There are a great deal of bands that have influenced us over the years, the main ones being Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, Lamb Of God, Trivium, Gojira and Architects.

4. Has the rise of YouTube & music streaming helped or hindered you as a band?

There are definite pros and cons to both but honestly as a small band from Scotland, it has been pretty amazing being able to have our music and videos our there for all to see and in that respect it has really helped us get our name out there!

5. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not making music?

We are big movie fans so when we aren’t making music, we are often either watching movies or hanging out and talking about them! A lot of us are particularly big fans of horror movies which really comes through in our music videos.

6. What are your future plans musically? Tours?

We are currently working on the follow up to our debut EP ‘TRINITY’, with some new songs already tracked. We are really excited to get these songs out there! We have also been very busy booking shows for 2023 and aim to play as many shows, in as many new places, with as many awesome bands as possible!
