- 0:31same name. Yeah, yeah, it's a good too to be here with
- 0:36you right now. Thanks a lot for your time. Man. I'm sorry,
- 0:39I'm sorry if I if I ask you because I'm not used to the
- 0:44Austrian English and sometimes it's difficult to me to to get it. So sorry
- 0:50if I ask you to re the question right. Totally understandable. So as
- 0:56does you say? Angels at Patria returned to Austria for that Aftermath tour,
- 1:02starting in Perth on February fifteenth, before going through Adelaide, Velvin, Pambra,
- 1:06Wagga, Wa, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane and finishing on the Gold
- 1:08Coast on February the twenty eighth. But it's not far away now, why
- 1:12you're packed and ready to go. Yeah, yeah, of course. I
- 1:15mean we're just finishing a few details on viesuas and all that stuff. But
- 1:21we got everything done. We got all the thriep sould paints, everything's done.
- 1:25We're ready. We're still on tour Humans Pain, so we will we
- 1:29will come back. We would go there with with all the energy. I
- 1:33mean, it's like we're still on tour. Right after the next weekend,
- 1:38we're flying to birth to start the tour over there. So yeah, we're
- 1:42more than ready. Man, good touff and it did some massive run of
- 1:47shows a long way from homemade. So how do you prepare mentally and physically
- 1:51for some shows so far from home. I think I don't know how to
- 1:57prepare them, especially meant in that kind of course. I mean when you
- 2:02ride to a new territory, like a new country and a special one like
- 2:07Australia for example, which is so far away. So physically you can imagine
- 2:09at least you get like we need a list like one day or something like
- 2:14that to have a good breast and all that stuff. But I think mentally
- 2:17we always leave it to the to the last minute, especially if when we
- 2:23go to the venue already, or if we go before the venue, we
- 2:25can go to a bar and get a good beer. I think it's one
- 2:28of the first things we're gonna do when we're we got or free in Australia,
- 2:32is gonna get a great cold beer over there, so we can prepare.
- 2:38We could prepare mentally properly, very good. So what can fans expect
- 2:43from the band on the shows? Wow, I don't know. I mean
- 2:49we are really really experienced band nowadays, especially the people who already checked us
- 2:53out back in twenty sixteen, they will find a completely new band, like
- 2:58a completely mad Cure band, completely different. I mean it's been eight years
- 3:02already since we were there, so I just suppose it was a very professional
- 3:07band. I think we're sharpest fout on stage. I think we're tight as
- 3:10fuck. We're pure metal and I think one of the best points of Andre
- 3:16was about to watching us alive. So just prepare ourselves. You're gonna watch
- 3:22a turmoil of thrush metal ready to kill. I think it's going to be
- 3:27a huge in a massive night together with her friends and hid An intent,
- 3:31So yeah, don't expect less than that. I mean it's going to be
- 3:37huge and intense every night. Yeah, trust me, excellent And a lot
- 3:40of people ask bans what we can expect from them, But from your point
- 3:44of view, what do you expect from your crowds at a show? I
- 3:49remember the crowds in Australia were really really intense as well, and we were
- 3:53really surprised because sometimes I mean we used to say that Spinning's crowds and Latin
- 3:58American crowds should be one of the most uh intense and the whole planet.
- 4:04Uh that we were really really surprised about the trained people. They were all
- 4:10just intenseness. Fact that we're so happy about that especially. I remember one
- 4:15of the best shows in the in the last tour was in Melbourne. We
- 4:17only did three shows in the last tour, but Melbourne somehow it was like,
- 4:21uh, people really really crazy. It was like full house, and
- 4:27uh, this is what we expect, Like, I mean, we're gonna
- 4:30we're gonna give all we have and we're respecting the people will give us all
- 4:33they have so we can make like that every night, like really good trust
- 4:39medal knight. But yeah, just can't wait to find out how the AUSI
- 4:44guys are doing right now and how they are enjoying trust Midal Knights. But
- 4:49I mean, I'm increase and hitting intent for a long time, and we're
- 4:53in good conversations about that. Increase is always said like you're gonna get one
- 4:58of the best bands of your life here too, So yeah, we can't
- 5:00expect spect less than that, less than that. Yeah, now, you
- 5:04touched on this briefly, but the last time around here was twenty sixteen,
- 5:10so what what has changed with the band since last time you are out here?
- 5:15We got three three more albums since that day, so there were a
- 5:19lot of changes, of course, and in my opinion, I think that
- 5:24these three albums are the best albums so far. So this is the main
- 5:30difference. And of course we've been twenty it's been the most active period in
- 5:34our lives since then. So yeah, everything changed a lot technically, professionally
- 5:43creatively. You know, there's three new albums from Cavarel team for twenty eighteen.
- 5:49Then we got the self title edums about twenty twenty one, and we
- 5:54just released the new one after that, so expected, I mean, we're
- 5:59going to focus almost everything in the three albums, so you're going to see
- 6:03a complete new band. You can spend like a complete new band. And
- 6:08this is why, this is why I was telling about that. Of course
- 6:12there will be a lot of new people that never saw others applied to a
- 6:15life. But there will be some old fox that came on the previous tour
- 6:18and they will find a new different band like Giant. I don't know,
- 6:24I'll explained, but it man, eight years is a lot, It's a
- 6:27lot of time. So yeah, this is the main difference. I would
- 6:30say that we grew up a lot professionally and technically. Yeah, and you
- 6:35mentioned hitting in Chad who you're checking with you is National Supports, so they're
- 6:40they're a great ones event, But why did you choose him to be in
- 6:43National Supports? Well, this tour is is a thing about both of us.
- 6:48I mean, this is indiat King. When Christ offered us to come
- 6:53to the Churches of Steel festival, we became friends in two thousand and two,
- 7:00need to we were touring together in the US, so we have a
- 7:03very good relationship and we became good friends. So this was always an idea
- 7:11like one day you guys should come down here and do another tour. Maybe
- 7:14we can just uh get into the tour along with you guys. So that's
- 7:18the way it just happened. So when when Creede told me, okay,
- 7:23we we already got a date for the Charges of Steel Festival, and I
- 7:29say, okay, I would like to do that, but of course it's
- 7:31a long trip, so we should do more more shows over there. And
- 7:36this is how this idea started. So we started to to build a tour
- 7:43around the festival, always with hitting intent and and after that, I say,
- 7:47why we don't just go up to Asia and continue the tour over there
- 7:53together. So yeah, after Australia, we're going to New Zealand, and
- 7:56after New Zealand we're going to Asia. We're going we're going to do like
- 8:00eight or ten more shows over there. And we just came with because we
- 8:03got a really really good connection with here in ten with all of them,
- 8:07with or with Field, with Chris, we became really good friends. And
- 8:11it's it's really really nice to do a tour like that in the other part
- 8:16of the world with such good friends. Yeah, we mentioned Churches and Steal,
- 8:22which you'll be headlining, which is on February sevent eighteen Adelaide. It's
- 8:26also got a host of Australian bands like hitting Enchant, there's elm Street.
- 8:31We get small, dirty pagans and heap small. So when you come out
- 8:33over to play at something like that, do you do a bit of research
- 8:37on the other bands? So do you listen to them to you know what
- 8:39to expect or do you just leave it to other day and check them out.
- 8:43I do know many bands on the bill already, like you say,
- 8:48of course, even in ten of course, but I also hear about arm
- 8:50Street and other bands, and yeah, I checked different ones really really key
- 8:58cast. I think it's going to be a huge it's a it's a health
- 9:01package. I mean, this is so good. We really expect to have
- 9:05a full house over there. And sometimes I really want to wait to see
- 9:11how the bands are alive, because sometimes they change a lot. But I
- 9:16listened to many bands on the bill, and I know why what I can
- 9:20expect, So yeah, I'm just looking forward to hearing them live and watching
- 9:26them alive and having a good time with all of them. Of course,
- 9:28yeah, no matter. Right, Well that's all I've got for you,
- 9:31and I thank you very much for so I'm The chal kicks off on February
- 9:33fifteenth in Perth. Guys, all the way around us right, So I
- 9:37get your chickens now.
