  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: Now, this is going to be your first ever trip
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: to Australia in the eighteen years as a band. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: when you go to a place like this is the
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: first time, do you do a bit of research on it?
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Do you ask people what to expect?
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Or do you rather come over cold and just take
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: it as it comes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just checked the Vedow and we're just gonna
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: know what to where. That's it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: No, So basically the tie with Australia, or the relationship
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: with Australia goes way back in time. We had an
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: album out in twenty twelve and back then we had
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a distribution system running where it worked through emails and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: through word of mouth. So we had a communication with
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Grindhead way back in time and they had asked to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: send us a few poppies in trade and just distributed there.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So it's a good relationship that we've had this time around.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: We got the connection again done through a very good
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: friend in Europe and then he connected us to Grindhead
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and from there those boys have just taken it up
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and they've just, like you know, done all the hard
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: work behind and all we need to do is just
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: pack up our aunties and be there.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Nice you churned on the back of my race and
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: album can all the time. Therea twenty twenty three But
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: because she first to five here again to give us
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: a selection from all catalog or are you just going
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: to focus on that?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a mix of all the albums that
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: we've done. So it's uh everything from Skewer to Amphitheater
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and Karnel, it's a whole mix of that. We just
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: pring the bangles from all of these, uh uh these
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: albums that you've put out, and maybe a cover of.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: One thing that keeps coming up every time our research
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Gutslet don't look at you, guys. Up is your awesome
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: live show? So run as a typical Guts lit larun shot.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: What do you expect.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: To dance?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You have to come down and just throw it out there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It's all about enjoying the music. It's all about enjoying
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the mothpits. If you're into like, you know, that kind
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of music. If you're into death metal or google death
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: grind or google that metal or slam, you're gonna get
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it all. So you're gonna mix it up for you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You can just go from the like, you know, the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: first song itself and then just be there.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean to add to that, I think
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the the whole point of Guts when we used to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: talk about live shows and everything. Our music might be serious,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you know in terms of the themes and everything, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: we want we've always maintained that we want to put
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: on a really fun show for the people, so that
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you know, as much as the music is serious, we
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: are not real. Like we like to have fun in
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: real life and you know, amongst ourselves, so we want
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: to translate that on the stage.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: So that's why we.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Made like a conscious decision to like, you know, really
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: have fun on stage and not be like you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Know, like just old, you know, angry with their.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Fun just like you know, just just gatekeeping and everything.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Like on stage, we just want to have fun and
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: like if people gravitate towards that. And I mean there
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: are props and ship from time to time, but yeah,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I mean the basic.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Motto is just to like, you know, let lose and
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: have fun.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: You gotta be with your woollngonge death metal outfit Goshika
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: as your national support So watch you exam obviously about
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: them that made you decide to take him on the
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: national run.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, so Grindhead put us in touch with them.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: They said to check out the music and all, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: they said that'd be a perfect fit for for the
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: guts that top they and we check them out live
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: and they like, you know, they also tend to have
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun on stage, and they're like, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: got a whole bunch of energy, and that's something that
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: we really wanted as our support act, so I think,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: And I mean, and the guys, we've been speaking to them,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: you know, over the course of this time to prepare
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: for this, and they are like the like the best
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: guys ever. They just want to have fun. So I
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: mean it just works out perfectly.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: So the show kicks off in Brisbane on August twenty
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: seven Search twenty second Sorry at the back Room and
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: annally with Snake Mountain and Negwtolic. So it's the first
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: show with the chow. You've got two great lifel supports.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: How are you just going to hit this age? It's
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: just gonna just gonna explode.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the idea is that just to explode, just to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: bring it down. But it's gonna be fun, so it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: got to be a mixed match of everything.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited to check out the Australian bands as well,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you know, like we've got a whole bunch of them throughout,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: especially with like you know, even with the Primitive Fest
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and stuff. So I'm damn excited to check out the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Australian music scene nice.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Well, as you mentioned before, that's it started in India
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: back in two thousand and seven. So you did say
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: that there wasn't many extreme metal bands going round at
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: the time, So what was sort of what was was
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: the climate like they gave Bertie Custid. I guess like
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: if there wasn't much of it there before, what made
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: you think that you guys can bring it in and
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: make it successful.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So way back like when when I met the first
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: guitarist of usaid who was there in the band, So
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: it was all about jamming on the band that Chuck
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: was like one of my inspirations, and Death as a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: band said like it was one of our favorites. So
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it started off with like jamming a few songs from there,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a few songs from Cannibal Corps. So then there was
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of mutual connect and like you know, love
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: for that kind of music. So we thought, might as
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: well just sit and work on some originals around the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: same line. So one of the first shows where we
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: covered Dying feed is Killer Mother Rabia Dog. The crowd
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: actually dumbfound they didn't know what was happening, and they
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: didn't know what kind of a name is Dying Feeders
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and Killer Mother Rabia Dog. So so it was more
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: of a take a scare out there, like you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: what are these guys and what are they doing? What
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: is this like you know some vichery and some some
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: possessed they are into. So it was quite fun that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that right, that reaction actually cemented the whole thing that
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: we want.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: To do this. We want to scare the shout of people.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: So that kind and how ald you saying that? I
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: see extreme metal season the genre. I guess how was
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: it grind in India since he started?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It's huge, It's huge now we have we have a
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: representations from different cities now in terms of different bands,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: different genres, sub genres. We have everything from black metal
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to grind to post rop even like you know, doom metal.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: We've had.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: We have old schools that metal.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: So it's like it's like there are different regions in
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: India and everyone has their own kind of a strong
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: band coming out and we have so many bands. We've
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: gone international with it, so it's great. I mean, it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: good to see the whole scene grow and we've seen it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: We've been there, like you know, part of an integral
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: part of the whole growth phase.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: We've given our eighteen years to this, so it's it's amazing.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: When through your bio it describes you as the filthiest
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: extreme metal band A high from India. YEA, what do
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: you mean by filthiest? Thats up so many different images.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Just in the themes and like the the aggression that
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: we put into our music not on stage and not
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: in real life, not.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Take away from that stereotype.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but like in terms of our music, we just
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: wanted to be the most extreme and aggressive, to be honest.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: The faster it is and the more gnarali it is
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: is works for us. We don't want to be like
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: a clean cut, you know band, and that has worked
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: for Guts It all this time. So yeah, I mean
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: in terms of like aggression people, you know, whenever they
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: hear us, they're like, we've not We didn't expect shit
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: like this to come out of India. So that's our
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: goal is done.
