  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, this is a Balllebeast or one third of Ballobast.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Here we have you know and me the bass player
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: who was named nobody knows, And yeah, I guess the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: reason we're doing this is because we're coming for our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: first ever tour in Australia and we are soap psacked.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for driving. It's the same name.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Sure, thank you, no.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Both, So as you say. Battle Beast head to Australia
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: for the first time ever for shows in March, studying
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: in Perth on the tenth for hitting Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: then finishing in Brisbane on March of the fifteenth. Like,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: not really that long ago, Now I go, he's packed
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and ready. Are you going to leave it to the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: last minute?
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: I will live too. I'm pretty sure I'm going to
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: leave everything for late.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, me too, like fifteen minutes like, oh shit, okay,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I got my passport on my tools, bro, I'm good
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's way. I suppose that. The biggest question to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: be asked, guys is why the hell have the band
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: neglected us here in Australia to so bloody long.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Well, it's actually been a combination of a lot of things.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed, but you are pretty
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: far away from Finland. And yeah, for the longest time
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is to combine the Australian tour with maybe some Japanese
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: shows or the Chinese shows. But every time something's gone wrong,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: like you know, some promoter went bankrupt or there was
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: some global pandemic shutting the world down. So it's really
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: been a you know, yeah, bad luck. I would say, yeah,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but first time for everything, Like now we're trying to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: make up for all those years that we didn't come
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: over there, Like we've only been the band for seventeen years,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: so hopefully we'll take another seventeen years to get back
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: there for a second run.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: But I second that because I do know many bands
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: who are constantly trying to go to Australia and it's
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: really hard. Yeah, it's really hard for the events to
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: get there somehow promoter wise and pastwise. It's everything is
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: very complicated, So it's not really about neglecting it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm just having a digs.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: When you take the big flights over there, you kind
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of want to minimize your losses by you know, I mean,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you don't want to do six separate like intercontinental flights.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Like if you're going to do Japan or China or wherever,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and you want to do Australia, it's way way better
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and easier and more economic to do it in a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: one go. But sadly that hasn't been able, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to happen for the last few years.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: But now's our chance, and now we're going to do it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I see. But Trene announcing the tour and now like
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: battlebased and part of the ways really long term vital
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: as Nora, and you've brought in yourself, Marina. So before
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: we get to that, I want to direct this at you,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: bro Aside from the fact that you lost your valued
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: bad member, you're also gained a massive headache without the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: tour even starting, like it never in danger, you sort
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of postponing it and give it a bit more time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely was in the danger because I mean,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you know when when a band analysis that okay, a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: singer is leaving, it's like, oh shit, this band is over.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I mean there's the first reaction for most people is
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: absolute panic. And yeah, yeah, we could notice that, like yeah,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and you can see that online happening, like the first
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: reactions were. I mean, it went generally went very positive,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: but there were people who were upset. And that's no miracle.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Like if you're a fan of a band, you're not
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: really you know, it's not a you know, thing about
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: thoughts about feelings. It's about how you feel for a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: specific band and a group of people. And when that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: unit is broken, then you know you are maybe in shambles.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But I think you know the way, you know, how
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: positively this whole experience has been, you know, publicity wise
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and all I think, I think a lot of people
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: have come around that you know, there's gonna be a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: good thing, and wow, this Marina is a great new singer.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So but yeah, there was a bit of a trying time.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You know, being an oust and this tour actually happening,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but it's too late to cancel it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Now we are coming over, deal with it, right, So.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I've read a first congratulations and welcome to.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: The band, thank you.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Can you runs through how you came to take over
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Vocals start with the moment that you first considered the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: possibility that you could join Battle Beast.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: As I always explain, is like I got this email
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: from them that I thought was a scam or a joke.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: And so that was the first moment.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: And when I realized that the thing was legit, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: still didn't like connect the dots.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I was still like.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Literally thinking why me, Why why? I was just trying
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: to understand, like what, And also because I knew the
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: band was storing and doing very well, and I was
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: familiar with the band's music and familiar with not As vocals,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: which I've always found absolute insane, and I was like,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: why is she leaving? So I probably had the same
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: like reaction the fans did. I was just like what hey,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: And I was like, oh my god, is this gonna work?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I was like what the hell?
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: But I thought, you know what, I know how band
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: dynamics work because I've been in bands forever, and I thought, Okay,
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: the guys want to go on.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: They deserve to go on.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Obviously, it's their lives work, and if I don't do it,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: someone else will. Yeah, so why not, you know? And
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I was like perfectly in between projects where they reached me.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: So I was like, yeah, you know what, fuck it,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I'll just I'll do it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I'll do it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Something in your humble opinion. What do you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: think you bring to the band?
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Well, I do bring for to begin with the behind
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: the scenes stuff that I've always been working on super
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: hard with all my bands. I've been building bands like
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: from scratch, Pantomily it was mine. Like I don't mean
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: it as a dictator. It was more like I started
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: it with someone else and always worked back behind the
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: scenes on everything from design to social media to whatever.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: So I'm really eager to work on those things, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I definitely bring that to the table.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Yes I can.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: She works hard, Like I can't believe it, because like
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: we have this you know, you know, banded watsapp group,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and every day we're like, what are we going to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: post for the social media today? And then Marina's like, hey,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I made this video. It's just any good, Like it's perfect,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: let's post it. Like she really gets stuff done. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I can totally like second that she does
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of you know, behind the scenes work.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good attribute.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Honestly, Like a lot of people don't realize how much
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: work it actually takes.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: It is a lot of work.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: It can be literally full time job just to be
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: doing all that and on top saying yeah it is.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: It is full full time job.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: And I think vocal wise, I in my opinion, I've
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: always I think I have quite a specific I've developed
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: that across the years, like this specific thing going on
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: which is quite unique, Like there's an identity like Nora
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: was very you know, identifiable, and she had she has
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: a very recognizable voice and interpretation. And I think I've
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: built that with my band too, with Famomily and Exit
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Eden throughout the years. Like I've been exploring this versatility
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: for a long time, different techniques. Maybe I'm still trying
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: to make that work technique wise, but you know, the
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: harsh vocals is something I would like to maybe blend
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: in a little bit more.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of a few of the older songs
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and not older songs, but you know some we already have.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Whether it's this kind of.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Sort of a we is to just like a bit
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of a rough, rough voice and and now marine it
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: kind of does this screep. I don't know the terms,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: like yeah, it's harsh, very different, but I really think
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it works, you know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Like as an added point figuring it out. But we're
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: not gonna go metalcore, no, no, please, die, please die.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: I'm not flipping the band's style completely, no, And yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: and I think maybe we don't know that yet. But
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I've always done songwriting as well for my band, for
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: other artists, So maybe we're gonna.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Find a way of contributing to something we.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Have no idea. Yeah, but that's that's still like when
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: in the future.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's been like crazy, crazy busy from like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: last summer to this moment, But eventually new music will
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: come and you know, Marino's you know, fingerprints be there
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in one way or another.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: No, no, I'm not pushing myself into it at all.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: It's my leave that to the guys. It's you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: they've been having their team forever. I'm just saying, like
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: the chops I know I bring to the table. Ye, Like,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: I'm confident with those and well as you should be.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you got that started. It's not just a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: matter of replacing one person with another, lot you're also
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: taking on the history and the existing expectations of an
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: established band. So how do you separate yourself from continuing
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the legacy and battle base but also making the role
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of vicalist your own.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I explained that in an interview yesterday that I
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: am kind of seeing that as a musical theater engagement.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Like I've I come from musical theater as well. I've
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: done a lot of that in the past.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: And when you have a role, you have a role
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: that's written for a role, right, and many people come
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: in and film. I'm trying to see it like that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I know it's not a exactly that. There's way more
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: emotions attached. Everyone is attached to not his personality of course,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: but that's the way I can see it in the
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: best most productive way. Right. So the boys wrote all
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: the music and it's there, the notes are written, so
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: to speak, you know. So it's like, Okay, I have
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: this material and I have to kind of step into
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: this role and make it my own.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And like I mean, I wouldn't be like too
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: considered with the history. Like we're not trying to preserve
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: anything here. I mean, the things are preserving. Those are
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: being preserved like naturally. You know, the songs are going
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to be the same, the attitude and the energy those
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: are going to remain.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: But we're going to move forward.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, I'm not saying like we're you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: deliberately changing the music. But it is going to change
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: because you know, singers aren't like car tires. You can't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just take one off. It's going to be a bit different.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, as you're supposed to be.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: But hey, Bell Beast has been changing with every album. Yes,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: it's well, this is not a band that's been you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: in a cast. Yes, yeah, ages you know it's like
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: this is that's the kind of band. So yeah, in
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: that sense, I think it's okay. We can make it work.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Definitely. Yeah.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And then from your point of view to right, like
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: a lot a lot of the songs would have been
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: written with Nora's voice in mind when they came out,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and so from from the your perspective, like having another
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: female singer come in to sing though, is like is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: it does it feel weird? Like because there weren't actually
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: written specifically for her.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Well, what we did with Nora was with every single song,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: we always sought out, like even painstakingly, we always thought
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: out the best key that would allow her voice to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: like really shine. And now we're doing the same with Marina,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Like there are songs actually we're generally we were dropping
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the tuning a bit because Marina's voice is naturally a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: bit lower. She sounds better a tiny bit lower than
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Nora doesn't, and we would be stupid not to take
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that into consideration. And that's what we've always done, like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: melody comes first, vocals comes first.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Everything else is.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Just feeling and stuffing in my opinion, And and yeah, yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I said before, like singers are interchangeable, Like.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna sound the same, and it's not supposed
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: to like.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: And it needs to be consistent as well, right, because
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: like Melvi's is a very heavy touring band, So it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: not about like, oh she can't hit those notes, more
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: like can I hit them consistently every night the best
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: way possible?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's like even in the past, there's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: being like we have a lot of songs where there's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like different demo versions with like all in there's like
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: could be like five different demo versions in separate keys. Yeah,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: because we were like so eager to find on like Okay,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: what's gonna work out best? Like, Okay, if we sing
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: it in like if we do it in like a sharp,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: then this part is going to be a bit too high.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But if the movie did, then this part sounds really good.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And it's always about you know, finding balance and stuff
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: like that, and that's the kind of attitude we're gonna
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you know, still keep it in the band and regarding
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the music.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: When you step on the stage in Perth for that
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: first show of there, that's officially going to be your
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: first gig with the new lineup, No no pressure, no
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: pressure at all.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: There's actually the shows first, like very very low profile
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Japanese shows like okay, yeah, I don't know, Like how
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: are you feeling, are you like super nervous?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I don't know.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Like for me anywhere, I'm like, okay, fuck it, we're
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: gonna go out there and we're gonna do the same
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: thing we always do.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad you have that, Aude. That's good.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: No, I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: But in general, like always when we went on to
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: it with fandomly lead or something or anything, I always
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: got pretty nervous in the beginning because I was like, Okay,
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: this needs to go perfect and secret.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: It never does nothing, it never knows. Oh my god,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I had a flat note there. Oh I forgot the
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: lyrics that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: It's bound to happen and I just need to be
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: okay that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, things will always get better.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: If people want to get a you know, perfect perfect
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: take of a song, then they should remain home and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: listen to.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Different you know, and bell BE'ST since it's like, as
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: I said, i come from the like the metal core
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: modern metal stuff, and I'm used to seeing like those
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: perfect shows, like literally they are pristine, perfect, but they're plastic,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: like literally everything comes from the backing track. The auto
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: tune is there, all the backing vocals are there so
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: much so that you don't know what's you know, coming
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: from the track or not. And you're just like, okay,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: this is a bit too much, you know, and then
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: the audience starts expecting that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Level of perfection otherwise you're bad.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: And then I'm glad that bell BE'ST is like is
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: an analog band, you know, so live is live?
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Somebody actually, like on the last tour, like some other
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: musicians came to me like.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: What you guys actually sing back your vocals.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It was like, yeah, that's sad. Isn't that rare? Things?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I mean when you have some backing vocals, like it's
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: pretty obvious, like if you can hear like a symphony orchestra,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: then you.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Know it's not five is on stage.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Have the Melbourne Symphony backing drag, But that's help most
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of the stuff he's played live, all the keyboards and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: guitarists and whatnot.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, But vertue of the fact that this
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is your first time touring Australia. Fans over here are
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: really can know what to expect from a battle Beast
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: live show, and I guess you guys don't really know
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: what to expect at the moment either, But running, running,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: running through what do you consider a typical battle Bee
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: show and what people can can be ready for.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I mean it always depends on the kind of a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: venue we're at, Like if it's if it's like a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: big stage, which these won't be, then it's gotta be
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: like more dramatic and theatric and you know.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Like lights and stuff.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: But this, the shows we're doing now, is gonna be
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: like kind of raw, like in your face rock and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: roll energy. There's always a lot of improv, you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: stage banter of prompts which absolutely aren't like written beforehand.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: So I mean, no one knows, no one knows yet,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Like it's pretty funny feeling that we've never actually been
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: on stage with Marina before, Like none of us, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: exactly knows how it's gonna be like. But I'm sure
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. It's gonna be fresh, it's gonna
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: be exciting, it's gonna be a fun ton of energy.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's for sure.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, gonna be a little bit like back to the roots.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Lets the Monks replies, and viclist is. In fact, The
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Battle Beast also released the lightest album, Steel Bad. I'm sorry,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: you know Tiger last year. So how's the reception being
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: for that? A video found that the Pikas has come
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: off that on to someone else where people still enjoy.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: It, sadly, like, even for me, it's hard to remember
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that we have a well, not a brand new album,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: but still a very new album, because so much has stopped,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: so much has happened after that, it's really hard to remember.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: The response, in my opinion, has generally been very good.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, with every album we've ever made, we always
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: piss off, you know, the hardcore metal heads like, what
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the fuck is this? You can't put out Ladin beachs
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in here, so the fuck this? Like you know, every
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: album they say that, you know, the last one was good,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: this one is shit, And then we would put up
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a new album they say, Okay, last one was good
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and this one is shit.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Like that's what we always do.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: We kind of like to rub people the wrong way
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and that's what we always But generally, i'd say it's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: been very, very positive and the shows in Europe got bigger,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and you know, that's what really matters. More people are
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: discovering our music and you know, someoneill hate it, someone
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: will love it, and you know that's what we are
• 17:58
