• 0:22
  Yeah, Hey, what's up man, Thanks for having us on the show.
• 0:26
  This is Skinny for mushroom Head, and we are currently about to release
• 0:31
  album number nine, just short of thirty one years, coming up on thirty
• 0:36
  one years and August ninth. The new album's title is it called the Devil,
• 0:45
  and it should be available pretty much everywhere. We start touring to support
• 0:49
  it early August over in the UK and Europe, and so I'm really looking
• 0:54
  forward to that, and in the early fall. We'll be doing some touring
• 1:00
  in the States in October. So really looking forward to getting out and playing
• 1:04
  some of this new music. Fantastic Skinny, thanks for joining us thirty one
• 1:10
  years probably like you don't look at day over twenty one. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:15
  the mask helps keep us you on. It's actually gonna be difficult.
• 1:19
  I've been getting used to zoom interviews since COVID, where I can see people's
• 1:22
  faces and I can tell what I'm giving them the shit, so if they're
• 1:25
  starting to get bored, but with you, you're gonna be really hard to
• 1:26
  read. Yeah, it comes with the territory. I think that's part of
• 1:32
  our longevity. No, got a hell of a We all have a hell
• 1:34
  of a poker face as you'd say, ray much you've had releasing Night Studio
• 1:41
  album Pulled the Devil on August and ninth. So how are you feeling about
• 1:45
  it at this stage of the cycle. Oh? Man, really really excited,
• 1:49
  Like you know, an album eight was a wonderful life and we had
• 1:53
  released it in June or twenty twenty and COVID came in and just had,
• 1:57
  you know, its way with the world and definitely had its way with all
• 2:00
  the entertainers. You know. I I definitely felt it firsthand. How you
• 2:07
  know, non essential heavy metal drums were at the time, so we all
• 2:12
  had to kind of buckle down and you know, dig down in our spirits
• 2:15
  and say, hey man, we want to do this. You know,
• 2:16
  of course we're going to keep doing this, and you know, it's our
• 2:20
  livelihood, it's who we are create music, no matter if there's you know,
• 2:23
  a world you know to create it for left or not, We're gonna
• 2:27
  just do it until we die. So it feels really good to have an
• 2:30
  opportunity to release an album and then get out there and perform and support it
• 2:36
  on stage. And can you tell us a bit about the album from a
• 2:40
  musical point of view? And what do you're actual be going for with it?
• 2:45
  And this one, you know again, album number nine, it was
• 2:47
  very much another let's just let the music take us where it, you know,
• 2:53
  take it where it may, you know, let it lead. And
• 2:57
  the album is very diverse. There's a lot of doom gloom. There's some
• 3:00
  super aggressive, heavy heavy stuff, and you know there's a lot of stuff
• 3:04
  in between, super creepy dark, you know, typical stuff that you know
• 3:09
  ends up coming out of us, whether we intended or not. Everything ends
• 3:13
  up with a creepy, heavy, dark vibe, but just what ended up
• 3:16
  being the mushroom Head sound. So yeah, there's plenty of that, and
• 3:20
  then you know, like we we definitely stayed out of our comfort zone.
• 3:24
  I don't know really if there is one with mushroom Head, but we try
• 3:27
  to stay out of our own comfort zones and play with tempos and play with
• 3:30
  different keys, and play with non traditional arrangements and just let the music kind
• 3:38
  of guide us. And some songs for a little more straightforward and you know,
• 3:44
  put together specifically for you know, like this is a heavy metal song,
• 3:46
  and then some of it's just straight art and then it turns into dark
• 3:51
  art, which we love. I love the way you started the album saying
• 3:54
  with the track ey to why like and I f this is an almost funky
• 3:58
  sort of guitarr for them. He just kicks in with the gut wrenching scream
• 4:01
  and it's typical mush we made. But what was that meant to be a
• 4:04
  little bit misleading or you just having a bit of fun with it? Yeah,
• 4:08
  that's definitely a little bit of fun. So that's you know, my
• 4:11
  older brother Gravy that that song was one of the first ones that actually that
• 4:18
  song was the first time he and I got in the studio and we recorded
• 4:23
  anything. That was the first The vibe of that song was the first session.
• 4:28
  Yeah. Wow, we hadn't recorded together in over ten years, and
• 4:31
  we didn't have any material or nothing. We just got together and we talked
• 4:34
  and laughed more than we recorded. But when we went back and listened,
• 4:39
  we were like, man, check that out because we didn't you know,
• 4:41
  there was no click track and we just sat down and just started jamming.
• 4:45
  So we recorded and listened to sections of it and said, man, that
• 4:47
  right there could make a badass song. And Gravy, man, you know,
• 4:51
  he's got a hell of a lot of guitar playing background, and he's
• 4:55
  just a fun guy. You know. He likes you know, picking and
• 4:59
  playing all kinds of different stuff, like banjo style shit, and you know,
• 5:01
  he really really enjoys playing any string instrument really. But he was just
• 5:09
  kind of having fun, and I was like, man, that's just got
• 5:11
  a good vibe to it. And if we came into something just blazing heavy,
• 5:15
  you know, I was like, do that again, you know,
• 5:15
  and it just kind of started. So, yeah, we were just having
• 5:19
  fun. Man. Well it's a great guitar riff. I was put it
• 5:23
  on and I was just like just getting in the funk and then it's just
• 5:26
  coming and smashed me in the faces. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that
• 5:30
  one. That one definitely it rose above. As we worked on a little
• 5:33
  bit, We're like, man, doesn't matter what else is on the record,
• 5:36
  this one just has to be first. You know, We're just that's
• 5:41
  kind of the attitude we had. Like I said, this album comes across
• 5:45
  a little heavier, probably a little more aggressive, just because of post COVID
• 5:50
  or it started writing during COVID. You know, the world was still very
• 5:55
  uncertain, it wasn't turned back on yet, and we were like, well,
• 5:58
  let's just keep you know, doing what we do, make music,
• 6:00
  you know, hope the world turns back on. So this album definitely has
• 6:03
  more of a sinister, more of aggressive tone, just because you know,
• 6:06
  we weren't so hopeful anymore. We're like, everything's fucked. You've released a
• 6:15
  single to date, anyway, you've released a single fall in line. I
• 6:18
  was gonna ask you if it's a good sonic representation of the album, but
• 6:21
  then I thought it can't be, because there's so much going on there that
• 6:25
  it must be difficult for you to actually choose songs to represent the album,
• 6:29
  because nothing definitively does, does it. No, No, it really doesn't.
• 6:33
  If you were to pick another song and anyone you know heard that,
• 6:36
  they'd think, oh, well, they sound like it's more like a faith
• 6:40
  no more a Kink Floyd almost, Like you know, it is so diverse
• 6:44
  that it's hard to put a label on even mushroom Head in and of itself.
• 6:48
  But you know, once the label had heard the whole album and thinking,
• 6:54
  you know, a little bit more straightforward, have you metal that doesn't
• 6:58
  you know, necessarily offend or creep anyone out, so to speak. Yeah,
• 7:04
  but you know, maybe a little more accessible. That song was as
• 7:08
  far as like I said, it's just a straightforward heavy metal tune, catchy,
• 7:13
  nothing over the top like, and it wasn't supposed to be. It
• 7:15
  just had a lot of energy, and to be honest with you, it
• 7:18
  was the last song that we wrote for the album, so it was kind
• 7:23
  of like, you know, it came out of kind of nowhere and it
• 7:26
  was still kind of fresh. So when the label said they liked it,
• 7:29
  we were like, all right, cool, let's go with that one.
• 7:30
  Then We're very We've been doing this a long time, so we're not picky,
• 7:34
  you know, anyone. If the label wants to support something, then
• 7:39
  we're gonna absolutely let's let's take their lead. And Napal's been absolutely great to
• 7:44
  us. You know, I've been doing this a long time and they've really
• 7:48
  got their finger on the pulse of you know, not just modern metal.
• 7:51
  They get what's happening, you know, and they understand the whole oh just
• 7:57
  how an artist feels. You know, they care product and they make cool
• 8:01
  vinyl and they just they really, they really are. They're a good,
• 8:05
  good camp to be with, so real real honored to be working with them.
• 8:09
  Hell yeah, I'm gonna veer off track a little bit here, right
• 8:11
  because and this is going to be a really difficult one for you to answer.
• 8:15
  Sorry, but just say someone stumbled across this interview and they've never heard
• 8:18
  of Mushroom Head before, Like, isn't your whole catalog? Give me five
• 8:22
  songs that they should listen to to get the vibe of the band. Well,
• 8:26
  boy, that that's kind of tough. I don't even know if I
• 8:28
  know the real names of the songs as we are working titled, but no,
• 8:31
  I could. I could definitely play some ball here to some degree.
• 8:37
  You know, I think a lot of people need like a kind of lead
• 8:39
  in they never really heard it or seen it, and it's kind of heavy
• 8:45
  metal or you know, Moral Combat meets heavy metal Blue Man Group, if
• 8:48
  you will. Uh, we tell that to a lot of people just so
• 8:52
  they get a basic understanding. But you know, if you went through the
• 8:56
  albums, you know, I think there's some some songs off of thirteen that
• 9:00
  are really really heavy and just kind of poignant as far as like songs that
• 9:07
  you know, shroom was kind of shining in those moments. Well, you
• 9:13
  know, there's a few off of that album. One is called destroy the
• 9:16
  world around me. It's a little more doomy and epic, but it definitely
• 9:20
  captured the vibe and just the feeling very creative in certain spots too. Go
• 9:26
  back to uh what it is? A buick so and double X. Probably
• 9:31
  a lot of people know that one better, but BOMP is a definitely a
• 9:35
  favorite, fun to play. It's really really high energy. Still captures that
• 9:41
  vibe when we do it. Of the last album, the heresy just just
• 9:48
  really epic and doomy, and you know, I got that haunting vocal from
• 9:54
  Miss Jackie, which you know always shines this this new album, there's some
• 10:00
  there's some man contenders on it. We're gonna drop another single here. It's
• 10:03
  called oh what is the real title of? Uh that? Oh? Prepackaged
• 10:09
  and uh that one is pretty heavy and dark. So was that four?
• 10:16
  We need one more? Yet? You need one more? Okay, you
• 10:20
  said five? So we can go all the way back to nineteen ninety three,
• 10:26
  the first album. The song would be slow Thing, first song,
• 10:28
  first album. It just captured the vibe, uh, the creativity of the
• 10:33
  time, and you know it was powerful back then to use just samples,
• 10:37
  to use just a straight piano and heavy guitars, no vocals, and to
• 10:43
  wear a costumes and mask and open up with that song every night. And
• 10:48
  uh, it's still is one of my favorite songs to play. So there's
• 10:50
  there's five. I think you asked for five. I did that probably throws
• 10:54
  sun dozen rising there as well, bright because I every song that song comes
• 10:58
  on, I get fucking chills. Yeah, there's a lot of energy on
• 11:01
  that man thirteenth fold and so doesn't rise Nowhere to Go? Nowhere to Go?
• 11:05
  That's a really really deep one. I really always enjoyed that song.
• 11:09
  And I mean, you know that thirteenth and thirteenth a monster record. There's
• 11:13
  some other really really cool stuff too, but yeah, those are those are
• 11:16
  some contenders. In my book called the Devil also sees long time guitarist Dave
• 11:22
  Felton returned to the fold Way. So how did it feel having him back
• 11:24
  in and how did it impact the overall sound on this album? You know,
• 11:28
  he contributed to just two on this album just because of time and scheduling
• 11:35
  and logistics and just how things ended up being. But it was more about
• 11:39
  just kicking it and hanging out with him again. You know, it had
• 11:41
  been ten years and like I said that that first track I was that track
• 11:46
  was a result of the very first recording session that he and I did together
• 11:50
  in over ten years. So man, it definitely led to the vibe of
• 11:56
  the entire album being just kind of fun again and just like anything's possible.
• 12:01
  So yeah, man, it was just really really good to you know,
• 12:05
  share the stage and the recording studio again with him and once again you utilize
• 12:11
  the dull male female vical attack with Jacque Lafonzo and Scott back on there.
• 12:16
  So how difficult is it to get the dynamics or like with metal, you
• 12:18
  don't often get the male female dynamics, But so how often is it?
• 12:22
  Sorry, how hard is it to get that riot? It wouldn't be easy.
• 12:26
  Well, you know, there is a lot of experimenting, for sure.
• 12:30
  Just just see where they contrast or compliment each other in the best way.
• 12:35
  Sometimes they're kind of in the same range, so one needs to take
• 12:41
  the lead and one should sit back. And sometimes that's just a little bit
• 12:45
  of experimenting and saying who actually just sounds better? Who do we like,
• 12:48
  who's more pleasant to the ear, And not that any of them are wrong,
• 12:52
  but that's why you hear like kind of complex blends of vocals going on
• 12:56
  sometimes with us where there's harmonies up underneath, but they're not very not in
• 13:01
  the lead whatsoever. It's just because some of those parts and some of the
• 13:05
  texture once we removed it after experiment and playing with it, once we removed
• 13:09
  it, it just became very plain. So we just kind of tuck some
• 13:11
  of that stuff back in there. And it's just a result of the sound
• 13:16
  because of the experiment and trying to layer so much. But yeah, it
• 13:18
  is difficult sometimes because everyone's really fucking good, and how do you say,
• 13:22
  oh, yeah, this part's not so good, you know, so there's
• 13:26
  a little better and you're better for this, you're better for that. Everyone's
• 13:28
  really great, so I think a lot of times they even know the vibe
• 13:35
  of the part that oh man, that's that's totally a Scotty part. Oh
• 13:37
  and that's totally a Jackie part. So you know, everyone's really comfortable working
• 13:43
  with each other. And and that would, I think lent itself to a
• 13:46
  lot more opportunity for this this album to kind of shine because there's a lot
• 13:52
  of lead vocal moments all over this album. Man, all three of the
• 13:54
  vocalists literally I think did an amazing job this time. Absolutely so you probably
• 14:01
  would wouldn't get this because you produce the album and you live with it every
• 14:03
  day. But from my point of view, like as a listener, the
• 14:07
  one thing that struck me was like, listen along and you sort it in
• 14:09
  you ahead, you're trying to trying to guess what vocals coming next, And
• 14:15
  when I was listening to your album, I had no idea. Like I've
• 14:16
  been listening to one part, I'd be thinking, yet, my voice has
• 14:18
  got to come in here and do this, and then Jackie'd come in and
• 14:22
  be beautiful, and that that effect works really well, Like it's not what
• 14:26
  you'd expect. I guess I'm trying to say, yeah, And sometimes that's
• 14:30
  it. We find that, like a formula just does not work for us.
• 14:33
  We have to let the music kind of tell us where it needs to
• 14:37
  go. And you know, again, that's part of the I think the
• 14:41
  beauty of producing your own music and having you know, other artists that are
• 14:45
  open to experimenting and really seeing it through instead of Hey, I just have
• 14:50
  my one idea and that's what I want. Sometimes that's perfect and we get
• 14:54
  that. But watchmand really likes to experiment recently, like you personally took on
• 15:01
  keyboards, samples, and water drums live and on this you shared the studio
• 15:05
  drums and percussion with Aiden and Robbie, So I know from experience how hard
• 15:11
  it is working with one drum. How the fuck did you make it work
• 15:13
  with three? You know, it's it's fun because like certain sections, it's
• 15:18
  like, all right, well let's you know, here's the basic beat and
• 15:20
  here's the groove and here's the riff. But you know, maybe your take
• 15:26
  on it could inspire a different drum pattern or a different guitar pattern, you
• 15:31
  know, because of the way they did their kick, you know, accents
• 15:33
  or whatever. So sometimes you'll end up with something completely different that was based
• 15:39
  off of the drum beat from another guy. So it doesn't always just you
• 15:43
  know, work just for drums. Yeah, and sometimes you know, you
• 15:48
  can just mute it all out and take that beat and turn it into almost
• 15:52
  electronic beat that's going on underneath and turns into a layer. So it's not
• 15:56
  just all right, you played this part, you played this part, or
• 15:58
  you played this song, and you know, I'll play this song. A
• 16:02
  lot of it was hey, you know, kind of hit a wall here,
• 16:04
  I keep playing the same beat on this wall. What are you here?
• 16:07
  You know? Here to take the sticks go at it? So again,
• 16:11
  it was very, very fun this time, and very It was one
• 16:14
  of the faster drum albums. Usually drums take forever, but between the three
• 16:18
  of us kind of fastening it back and forth and just you know, all
• 16:22
  of us listening going, ah, that that'll be. That's more fun.
• 16:25
  It's easier to play, it's more fun. It bounces, Yeah, let's
• 16:27
  do that, you know, or sometimes it's like, oh that think that
• 16:30
  that beat just doesn't work. So it was really fun to have three guys
• 16:36
  just go at it and have their approach. And some songs actually have about
• 16:38
  three of us on it. It's a conglomeration of it. Well, very
• 16:41
  cool, very cool. Now we sort of touched on this before, but
• 16:45
  your previous album, A Wonderful Life is universally lauded by people loved it.
• 16:51
  So was it temping in a way to rehash that winning formula on this next
• 16:55
  album or was it important for you to sort of step away and continue growing.
• 17:00
  You know, It's funny because there are some songs that are on this
• 17:03
  album that feel like they just stepped right off the last page of A Wonderful
• 17:07
  Life, without a doubt it just because it's you know, the current lineups,
• 17:15
  you know, influences or whatever. Not much has changed in four years
• 17:18
  in certain aspects, but you know, I don't know. And then you
• 17:25
  know, on the on the flip side, quite a bit changed. Like
• 17:26
  I said, this album is a little more aggressive, it's a little more
• 17:30
  it's a little darker, and some of it's some of it's very again,
• 17:34
  very experimental. There's a song I think hall hallucination and uh, we just
• 17:40
  ended up calling it. It was labeled dark art for a while, one
• 17:42
  of the working titles, just because it's it's very artsy and you just kind
• 17:47
  of don't know where. It's very non traditional as far as a structure.
• 17:52
  Yeah. Again, you know it's not not always easy sweet. So much
• 17:59
  of your head formed back in nineteen ninety three, mates, So what was
• 18:02
  the musical climate like that gave birth to the band? And where did you
• 18:04
  fit in? Initially we didn't fit in. I don't think. I think
• 18:10
  maybe now we're starting to fit in finally after thirty years, it's like,
• 18:12
  oh, maybe maybe I'm under something. I don't know. Yeah, right,
• 18:21
  this mass heavy metal thing might catch on one day. See who knew,
• 18:26
  right? I mean, God Blessed Liipnot Man one of the biggest heavy
• 18:30
  metal bands in the world. You know, holy shit. So you know
• 18:33
  that that shows me I wasn't that far off back in ninety three that you
• 18:37
  know, this type of entertainment you know, not only you know could be
• 18:44
  popular, but here it is proof, you know. I mean, it's
• 18:48
  beyond popular. It's part of subculture at this point. Horror movies, comics,
• 18:52
  you know, cosplay, all that stuff. It wasn't that stuff wasn't
• 18:55
  around in ninety three. So for us to stay are a theatrical kind of
• 19:02
  heavy metal thing. We didn't really fit in in many places at all with
• 19:07
  metal bands rock bands. The places that we kind of fit were more festival
• 19:12
  style, like we would actually get to play like raves, So that kind
• 19:18
  of opened our eyes to shit, we're gonna just have to do our own
• 19:21
  thing, so we didn't. We hit the street and just started playing as
• 19:26
  much as we could. Yeah. I can edit this question out to you,
• 19:29
  Bri if you don't want to answer it, because I didn't have it
• 19:30
  any initially. But when you mentioned Slipknot, like, do you think,
• 19:34
  because I know a lot of it was media generated, that supposed war between
• 19:37
  you guys back then. But do you think that that had a negative effect
• 19:41
  on you guys at all in terms of moving forward as a band? Uh?
• 19:45
  You know, I mean how could it not in the reality of things,
• 19:49
  you know, any negative everything, Oh, you know, negative process,
• 19:52
  you know, still press, Yeah, it's still negative. I've been
• 19:56
  doing this a really long time, and people tend to remember your downfalls.
• 20:03
  They tend to pick on your downfalls. They tend to pick on any like
• 20:06
  me, a politician or another band member or another band. People tend to
• 20:10
  remember the shitty moments or just how it was, whether you had something to
• 20:14
  do with it or not. And that's unfortunate for people that really believe in
• 20:18
  what they do and they move on or you know whatever. You know,
• 20:22
  I just in hindsight, I wish, you know, a lot of that
• 20:26
  shit wouldn't have ever happened or had been said. But you know whatever,
• 20:30
  here we are again. They're one of the biggest bands in the world.
• 20:33
  God bless them. I can only imagine how much shit they had to go
• 20:37
  through and have to go through just to create music and art. You know,
• 20:41
  I'm really happy for them in so many fucking ways. Like I said,
• 20:47
  it's proof positive that you know, people like this kind of entertainment.
• 20:49
  Yeah, so yeah, you know, like I got a lot of compassion
• 20:55
  for him. Like I said, I can only imagine how much shit they've
• 20:56
  had to deal with. A nice pool bosses too, sagine how big they'd
• 21:00
  be if they didn't get drop brought up in all that bullshit? Right right?
• 21:07
  So back up to you egos, like you sound it draws pretty much
• 21:11
  from every form of metal even made made, but you also got elements of
• 21:15
  hip hop, punkd as electronics. You got so much going on, bro,
• 21:18
  Like, how do you how do you find the balance in the writing
• 21:19
  and recording process? It must be a fucking nightmare it again, Sometimes you
• 21:26
  just have to let the music take the lead and not get lost into you
• 21:30
  know, what it could be, because sometimes if it takes it away from
• 21:33
  the original idea or that original just it can be a vibe, you know,
• 21:37
  or a balance, or a lyrical phrase or something. Once you start
• 21:41
  layering things in and making things as we say proper or how it should be
• 21:45
  like organized or arranged, I think it starts to lose its actual genuineness.
• 21:52
  So that's why we leave it. And you know, maybe we're a little
• 21:56
  add as well. You know we one style just doesn't sit with us.
• 22:00
  Well, you know, we want to try a little bit of all of
• 22:02
  it, you know, in everything, So you know, it's it's part
• 22:06
  of it. Part of it is capturing the uh, just a vibe of
• 22:12
  how we feel. For whether it lasts for a month or a week,
• 22:17
  it's really important to try to get some of that stuff out and get it
• 22:18
  recorded and then watch it grow. Or sometimes you're like, well, how's
• 22:22
  this in a shitty mood? And that song's really going to be that that
• 22:26
  whole idea is way too slow and depressing. Move it on, move on,
• 22:27
  don't drink it, bag out. You know, I can imagine that
• 22:32
  beats. It'll be quite a few songs where the band's speeding. I like
• 22:36
  half of it, likes a song half does it with all that extra stuff
• 22:38
  going on to say, you do like a vote and majority rules on something
• 22:41
  like that, or has produced do you get final? Say? Well,
• 22:45
  yeah, I always end up final. Say somebody's got to you know,
• 22:48
  make the call. But in the in the long run, the strong stuff
• 22:53
  just floats to the top man just rises above everything else, and we don't
• 22:57
  really have to, you know, talk about the turd in the punch bowl,
• 23:00
  so to speak, or just move along man, that that's not a
• 23:06
  good idea. You know. It's like, you know, I know it
• 23:07
  was your inspiration for the day, but did they capture any of us the
• 23:11
  next day or yourself? We say it a lot, man, We go
• 23:15
  home Picasso and we come back the next day. Is the Dutch Boy's kind
• 23:22
  of painting? We do right? Adopt the right albums right, Like would
• 23:29
  you say that mushroom Head has bound as sound or are you still experimenting growing?
• 23:34
  I think that is part of finding our sound, or at least identifying
• 23:37
  what it is that we do. Is that experimenting. We are constantly looking
• 23:42
  for new textures and tones to amplify how we actually feel, to bring our
• 23:49
  emotions to life, to capture some of that stuff. You know. It's
• 23:55
  we're not a one size fits all band, and I'm actually proud to say
• 23:57
  it. Very cool. So let's do the figures before Matt and I actually
• 24:03
  can't remember the last time you guys came to Australia, So where are you
• 24:07
  going to rectify that? As soon as possible, and the last time we
• 24:11
  were there, I had one of the best times ever. It was a
• 24:12
  sound wave twenty fourteen. Yeah, and we got to do all of it.
• 24:17
  And our off days were shows. Yeah. Our side shows were with
• 24:22
  Zombie and corn I believe and it was a bit of a blurb, but
• 24:26
  man, what a hell of a time, what a hell of a country.
• 24:29
  I would love to come back as soon as possible. The album Cold
• 24:33
  the Devil comes out on August the ninth. Might say, what's next for
• 24:36
  Mushroomhead after that? What do you got planned? Actually we started European and
• 24:42
  UK tours is a small run a couple of weeks, but it actually we
• 24:47
  started I think on the seventh or the eighth, So we're on tour the
• 24:51
  day the album comes out, and when we come back, we're going to
• 24:56
  do a month, almost a month in the States for the month of our
• 25:00
  so we got you know, a good six seven, eight weeks of touring
• 25:03
  coming to support the album. I'm really looking forward to it. Can you
• 25:07
  just move your right arm for me, mate, so I know you're a
• 25:10
  real person. You haven't moved the whole interview. I just need to know
• 25:14
  if I'm talking to someone. If I'm talking to a robot, it's animatronic,
• 25:21
  all right. Skin has been a pleasure speak with. You may call
• 25:22
  the Devil is out August night. I think it's probably the best thing you
• 25:26
  guys have done in a long time. It's fucking great, so I can't
• 25:29
  wait for people around it. Thank you, man, I appreciate it operates
