• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It's coming up. We got the set list off finalized,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so we're going to have rehearsals probably start next month,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: probably for a couple of weeks before we head out
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for at least a week headliner. It's always a little
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: bit like that, so we want to have ample time.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm assuming we'll have at least two weeks for that.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, we're all excited. It's been a minute
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: since we've been to Australia. We love going there. It's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: our third time there and it's our first time headlining,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: so we're excited to just see what it's about there
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and come with burials story. Shit, we heard Dissect is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: really sick. Everyone that we talked to from Australia has
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: been like, that's the best band. So yeah, yeah, So
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see them, see what they're all about
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and stuff, seeing some new places. I've never been to Wollongong,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: so yeah, I've heard some other people say that too.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, like, we've done so many tours
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: over the years, and sometimes it's the places that you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: don't really like think of that have like some of
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the craziest shows, you know. So we'll see, we'll see
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: what comes our way, man, But we're all excited.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: No, I said, you say this is going to be
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: your first headline Tarvis Draya, I think last time you
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: hear was we'd buy out his Murder in twenty twenty two.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So you're obviously pretty well restated to be coming back
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to doing your eye running shows.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did. We did the artist Murder and then
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we came back and did make them suffer as well,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and that that was a great time. We love those
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: guys and obviously we tour with them before, so we've
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: been there twice. Now we kind of kind of got
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to feel it out. But you know, those are larger
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: scale tours, so this is kind of our first time really,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, seeing seeing what we do in Australia. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I think I think we did some proper work over there,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: at least prior. So either way, it's gonna be good.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Do We're excited, you know, I think we messed with
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: all kinds of crowds, but we're really excited to bring
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Burials over. They've been our friends for a long time
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and their new record coming out is fucking ridiculous. So
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a bunch of sick bands.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Man, oh yeah, and you say you had the videos
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: support before, so what did you make it the Australian
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: crawbs probably like could they surprise you to or crowds
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: pretty much the same wherever you go.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like make them Suffer. I feel like, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: people definitely didn't know us as much, or we had
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to break them in a little bit more like I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: think we were well received, but people didn't go as
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: crazy for us obviously, Like I think Make Them Suffer
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and Urry Tomorrow really paired very well and I love
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: touring with those bands and it was great, But I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: think we were definitely playing to new fans on that tour.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You know, we're on the Thyr tour. I think a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: lot of fans that have been waiting to see us
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for a long time. We're gonna go to that show
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: anyway regardless. And then there was also, of course, you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it was the hay Tenure tour, so I feel like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of old heads, probably from Australia were there
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and all that, and we really got exposed to such
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a large audience. You know, I don't really know what
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to expect for this one. We did these two small
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: headlining shows there, like we didn't do a tour, but
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: while we were there, we played like an off show,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: two off shows, and they were really fun and people
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: were thrown down, people were about it. And I'm kind
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of expecting more of a vibe like that because we're
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: playing the smaller venues and it's more intimate and I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like that. Shit, you know, it's just very high energy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Fuck the barricades and shit. I mean, I don't I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna look like, but I'm hoping
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it's like that. But yeah, I don't know, man, those
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: two shows were really rowdy because I think, you know, again,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: if we're headlining I think the energy we bring people
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: people come for that, right, So I'm hoping people know
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: what to expect. Maybe I don't know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I'm excited, I'm excited, but I'm sort.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Of typical spot live shot then, mate, And what we
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: can expect and how are they going to be different
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to these sport ones you do?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You know? Man, we are playing probably around an hour
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: ish and we I've always done this, but we don't
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: really breathe in our sets, like we don't like to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: talk and leave these long interlews where you know, I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: just kind of like stand and wobble around and talk
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: about bullshit and nobody fucking cares about and shit like that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We just like to play the song. So it's just
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like go go, go, go go. So anticipate a lot
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of songs, a lot of new ones, a lot of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: old ones, you know, if you get to hear a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: good amount of everything, and that's you know, the beauty
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of just fucking pumping them all in there, you know
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But we we like to start off
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: hard and go hard the whole time. So uh yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I like to consider it a bit of an adrenaline rush,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it is for me definitely, and uh yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I like to freak some people out. Dude.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Oh not as you mentioned these guys. If you chose
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you're bringing Varials with you from Pennsylvania. So tell us
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a bit more about them and why you chose them
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: as storing finders.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we we have a history of Burials. When we
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: first started as a band, we were kind of coming
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: up around the same time. We have played like a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: few off shows here and there, and we were first
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: starting off together. We ended up touring together in twenty twenty.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: They did our our US headliner when The Root of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Valueble came out, and uh it was one of the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: best tours we've ever done. It was just like we
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just gone along so well together and everyone just the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: shows were fucking ripping, and uh yeah, it was just
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like a good time. So when we when we came
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to Australia, I know, they had a new record coming
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: out and shit like that, they got a new singer
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: who's also a good friend of ours. We're like, it's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: time to rip it with the boys in Australia, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Like it was just like kind of a I don't know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: just felt like the right thing to do. And I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: feel like Australia has like a good fan base for that,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like really heavy metal core sound like a lot of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: bands come out from Australia with that adjacent you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: music to to Variols and stuff like that. And Yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that being said, their new record is just fucking heavy.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You know. It just feels pissed off Burials again and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and it's yeah, I just want to tour with them.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Don't just say someone's coming to see you guys and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: they want to check out very Yeah, since you're bringing
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: them out Bright give his cheo songs, is that people
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: should listening to get you an album?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Oh uh, I'll Find the Dark is one of their
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: new songs that just came out. You could find that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: literally anywhere. And then Empire of Dirt is one of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: their older ones that probably is like the pile up
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: song people will go fucking crazy for. But I'll Find
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the Dark, dude, it's it's off the new album. The
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: mix is insane, the boys sound crazy as shit, the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: music video is really cool, and yeah, they sounds scary
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: as hell.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of new albums, brother, you know it's going
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: to be choring on the back of last year's album
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: New World Killers. So it's been out for a couple
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of months now, brother, So I didn't get the reception
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you hypens for.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, besides, like the whole music video thing, Like,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: if I were to change anything now, i'd probably like
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: not do lights Out the way we did lights Out,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, if I'm being honest. But uh, you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of the video. It's not that I don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: regret it. But if I had the choice, I had two.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I had three video treatments that I wrote, one for
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: lights Out, one's one for New Real Killer, which we
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: got to do, which was awesome and that video came
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: out perfect. And then I had one for Shallow and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it was just like coming down to the budget and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: what we wanted to do, and we ended up doing
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: lights Out, which again I love, But I would have
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: also loved to see Shallow come like the idea come
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: together and see how that would have went about. You
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because that shit was just such
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a fucking ranch you know, debut and the record and shit.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But besides that, dude, Like, I mean, the song still
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: streams well. We got to play it live for the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: first time on the Fit for a King tour we did,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and lights Out was the fucking most popin song we
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: were playing next to New World Killer and it was
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it was just crazy, man. The reception is awesome, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: like meeting all the fans on that tour. It was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: our first time out in a year and coming out
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: in new music. People asking like because we played a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: few songs off the new album, people are asking like
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: when you come back and you can play this new one,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: or you're gonna play this new one and this new one,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and it's it feels good that people want to hear
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the new stuff, you know. And every time I don't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: know why I feel like I need to say this,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: but every time I talk about being excited to play
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the new stuff, we'll always be playing old shit too.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You never have to worry about coming to a Spike
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: show and be like, dude, we play the new songs,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you know, like we we again, we don't breathe in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: our sets. If we have a thirty minute set, we'll
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: find a way to play nine fucking ten songs, you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If we have an hour, we'll
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: play fucking eighteen songs. Yeah, like we'll fucking we'll play
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of music. Okay, yeah, so I don't know.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm excited though, uh again, I do the new tracks though,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, we got to do new
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Role Killer, Lights Out, Shallow, and Shedding Skin on the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: last tour. We're gonna date view a couple of other
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: new ones on this next tour that I'm really excited
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to just see the crowd react to and have that
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: energy and connection with, you know, and just experience those live. Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously I'm gonna give away one, but I'm
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: excited to play gabbl Dude, Like Gavel is just such
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a fucking intense song and I feel like, I mean,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna play it. And I think that song
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: is on a ridiculous live.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Spider band who have never been afraid to try different
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: takes on established onres. You blend a lot of different
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: stuff together. So is that somebody actually discussed as part
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of your musical vision when you first started the band?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Not really when we first started, No, I think well,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: when the band first started, it was it was me
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and my friend Cody, and we were like two other Like,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you know, we're just in a bunch of local bands
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: at the project, and he was like an upcoming new
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: producer and I just hit him up today one day
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, I was into really
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: heavy music, but the bands I was in at the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: time were not really in line with the music I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: loved and wanted to be playing. Sure like metal adjacent,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: but not really my shit, you know. And I was
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: just like a pissed off teenager, a bunch of issues
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and shit, and I needed to just be the voice
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I wanted to hear when I was putting in my
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: headphones listening to metal music, and at the time, like
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: there was just thing. It was just it was just
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not enough where I was at. I needed to just
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: like explode. And so I hit him up and I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, like I just need to start like
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the angriest, heaviest project with you, Like just no limits,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Like I don't care, like if we think something is
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: stupid or if it's too much, just like do it,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you know, just like push. And so we came out
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: with Misery and Misery. It was just supposed to be
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this aggressive, violent song, you know, and I think that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: was just like the that was spikee. You know, Spider
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is just aggressive and violent and angry and just like
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: makes you clench your fists, right, And I think that's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: just what we go for no matter what. Like when writing,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have to fall into deathcore, like fall into
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: thrash or fall into this like whatever we're we're a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: melting pot of all the metal music we loved growing up,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I think, and still now we're influenced by
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: bands today too, you know. So I think it didn't
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: really It just started with wanting to be aggressive and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: pissed and we wanted to be heavy. And I think
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: at the time when we thought of heavy like it
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: was just that slow, chuggy and you know, it started
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that way, and as you know, we wrote more songs
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and records and stuff. We just ended up writing differently.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Just happens you get older, you get inspired by different things.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: But I don't think that the undertone of spikes, anger
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and aggression is ever left. And I think we'll always
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: have that in our music, no matter what way of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: metal we explore, you know.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And I've before I let you go, mate, I've got
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: a new segment I've started called photo Bombs. So basically
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I've troll through your social media I've come up with
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: a few photos. I want to know a little bit
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: more about speaking about your influences before, mate, and I
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: never actually paid you guys to have kisses and influence.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely Alex and a Gene Simmons. Of course. I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: remember when I heard God of Thunder when I was young,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was like the craziest thing ever did.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we were having a time on that tour.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It was just I don't know, I'm trying to remember
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: why we decided on kiss. There was definitely a reason
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we decide on kiss. But no one on that tour
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: dressed up for Halloween. We're the only band that did
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: it well, you know. But yeah, it was really fun.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I think we wanted to be a band for sure,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and it just fit with all the members and stuff.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Now got one more for it. Like I've seen a
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: lot of random fight ice so I've been doing this, mate,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: but this is probably one of the most random I've
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: ever seen. Like, I'm sure there's a story behind it,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: but what is it? Where is it?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, that's the old Graphic Nature studio or Machine shop.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It's it's where we recorded Dedication to Flesh. So that's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: in Newark, New Jersey. That's where we or Belleville, New Jersey,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that's where we went out to track with Matt google
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Almo for Dedication to Flesh.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: All Right, it doesn't look like much. It just looks
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: like a block a block of house in units.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: That place was pretty depressing. I'm not gonna lie. Uh
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it was. It was a rough recording experience. We were
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: not happy being there. It's just a it was like
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a cold dungeon, just no heat. It was in November.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It was freezing cold, no hot water. Uh, nowhere to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: walk around anywhere. It was just just the fucking Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It was rough. But hey, we made a very awesome
