Interview: Pain Was Left For Me (Written)
Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life being you an interview with four-piece metal band, Pain Was Left For Me.
1. Hello! Thank you for taking the time to chat to us. First things first, tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started.
My names Keith and I am one of the co founders of the band. I’ve been playing drums for almost 25 years now.
2. Someone comes to you and asks you to sum up what kind of music you play – what do you tell them?
Progressive death metal with a hint of doom.
3. What’s currently going on in your camp? New releases? Tours? Etc.
We just released a new EP – Lost Grace. We dropped some new merch, and recruited a new lead guitarist.
4. What has been the most positive experience of making music to date for you?
To be completely honest. It’s kept me alive, and sober.
5. Likewise, what has been some of the more challenging aspects and how have you overcome them?
Favoritism or people clique-ing up. We have just focused on ourselves and not take it personal.
6. How do you handle the modern expectations of being in a band? Always online, having to put out content constantly, your success measured in likes and follows?
It’s honestly annoying. However Nathan and myself swap social media duties so it’s not totally life consuming.
7. What’s something that really ‘grinds your gears’ about the industry/business these days and what would you propose is done to combat it?
Everything takes money. Still trying to find out how to combat it!
8. Speaking directly to listeners – what would you ask they do to help support your music?
Follow us. Share our music. Buy our merch.
9. Outside of the music, what’s do you do to relax?
Work out. Video games. Family time of course.
10. Where can people find you?
We’re on literally every single platform.
