  Australia is less than a month away and while everyone is no doubt looking forward
• 0:07
  to seeing bands like Panchira, Lam've Gone and Disturbed the beauty of festivals like
• 0:11
  this is a band that might not be so well known yet. One of
• 0:15
  those bands is Brand of Sacrifice, who were playing in Australia for the first
• 0:18
  time. I am Kyle from Brand of Sacrifice, I am the singer and
• 0:25
  we'll be playing at Not First Australia. Very excited and I'm definitely looking forward
• 0:30
  to seeing Disturbed as well. I've never seen them yet. Wow. Yeah,
• 0:35
  that's a good one mate, Thanks for joining us today, Thanks for
• 0:38
  having me. Brand of Sacrifice are headed to Australia soon for Not Best Australia,
• 0:42
  which shows in Melbourne on March or twenty first, Sydney on March of
• 0:46
  twenty third, and Brisbane on March of twenty four. So I know it's
• 0:49
  still a month away, mate, bet are you're allowing yourself to get excited
• 0:51
  yet? Oh? I've been excited ever since we got the offer. Looking
• 0:57
  forward to it for sure. It's ever been out to Australia before, never
• 1:03
  never been in and the band has never been either, so it should be
• 1:07
  way to pluck the cherry. Yeah, so of course not first features Panterera,
• 1:15
  Disturbed, Lamb of God, The Hailstorm, who Asked Alexandria, and
• 1:19
  plenty more mate, So you've already given this away by staying disturbed. But
• 1:23
  is that who you're most looking forward to playing with? I've been looking forward
• 1:26
  to playing with them, Lamb of God and Panthera Legends two. As far
• 1:32
  as some of the newer bands, Diart his murder is great of course,
• 1:38
  and they're from Australia. We got to plug him, yes, and I
• 1:42
  haven't seen Wage War yet from America, so I'm looking forward to seeing them
• 1:46
  too. Brand to Sacrifice is still a relatively new band mate, haven't fallen
• 1:51
  back in twenty eighteen, So does it still sort of get dawnting for you
• 1:55
  a bit? What being backstage with all these bands or are you comfortable with
• 1:57
  it right now? I don't know if I'll ever be used to it,
• 2:00
  to be honest, it's definitely exciting and it's it's a whole new way to
• 2:07
  in take a show. I will say in the best way possible. So
• 2:14
  very happy to be there and looking forward to seeing these bands from beside the
• 2:19
  stage. Two. This is your first trip to Australia. As you said,
• 2:23
  so do you like ask people that are being here before what you expect
• 2:27
  and thin so that do you broadly just come and eat cold and type things
• 2:30
  as I I've asked a little bit about logistics and things like that, but
• 2:32
  I'm trying to just let things happen and experience things as they come. As
• 2:38
  you say, I just want to kind of live in the moment and take
• 2:44
  it all in. So I guess the big question, then, Mighty,
• 2:46
  is what can fans expect from a brand of sacrifice. They can expect a
• 2:51
  lot of aggression and they can expect a lot of fun. Get On the
• 2:53
  flip side of that, I guess, like, what do you expect from
• 2:55
  the crowds? Like? Do you got to expectations for people? What should
• 2:59
  you all? It doesn't matter, You're just going to get wolf anyway.
• 3:01
  I expect people to have a lot of fun with me, uh, and
• 3:07
  I will definitely direct people if I need to. But I think it seems
• 3:15
  like people are just as excited as us uh to get a little rowdy,
• 3:19
  and I hear Australia is very rowdy, so I guess. And you're also
• 3:24
  going to be doing too side shows with Lamb of God Want in Melbourne on
• 3:29
  March of twenty eighth and Want in Brismal on March and twenty five site.
• 3:31
  How different are those sets that the side show is going to be to the
• 3:34
  ones that don't faced. I think they'll be a little more sort of up
• 3:38
  close and personal, which is cool and uh, you know, I you
• 3:45
  can have a little bit more direct interaction with the crowd in a in a
• 3:47
  smaller room compared to a festival, so that'll be an interesting dynamic. But
• 3:53
  as far as you know, we're just going to be just as as relentless
• 3:58
  as the festival as well. It'll be the same level of aggression either way.
• 4:04
  How do you go to one selecting set lists of play at festivals?
• 4:08
  Why not? First do you guys are on dry and choose some of your
• 4:12
  more accessible songs. I guess speacause of now and that there's going to be
• 4:15
  a bigger cross section of people there, so you want to appeal to more
• 4:17
  people or do you just go out there and just give more your bangs?
• 4:21
  I think we've done kind of both, but I think I have more fun
• 4:29
  sort of shocking people. There will be some people there that are fans of
• 4:32
  the band already, but I also want to sort of leave leave someone something
• 4:40
  to think about for later, a new fan. You know. So I
• 4:44
  think some of the heavier and faster songs or will do that. And you
• 4:49
  know, some of our lighter songs and more melodic songs I think are great
• 4:53
  for like headline sets, but I think the heavier, more relentless UH sets
• 5:00
  are usually what we go for. We play festivals in shorter sets, and
• 5:05
  you're released the lightest Apaid between Death and Dreams last year. So how much
• 5:10
  are that one? Are you going to be playing half of it? Yeah?
• 5:15
  Which which the singles already get well, Actually, there's only one song
• 5:20
  that we're playing now that I think about it, on this set that we've
• 5:23
  just put together playing, we'll be playing one off there sing like last year,
• 5:30
  you also signed nicolear Blach Records might say, what sorts of things is
• 5:33
  that opened up for the band? You know, it's great to have a
• 5:38
  supportive team behind you. You know, Leo and I had sort of done
• 5:44
  all the admin behind the scenes work over the years, and we've got a
• 5:47
  couple of companies that are running as well on the side, so things were
• 5:51
  getting quite difficult to day to day. So it's great to have the support
• 5:59
  and and uh, you know, Nuclear Blast allows us to still be creative
• 6:05
  and do things the way we want to do them. They just give us
• 6:08
  the resources we need to do most efficiently, and so it's it's a great
• 6:14
  fit and couldn't be happier. And you also release a single, Purge of
• 6:17
  the same charm. So is that just a standalone single Mite or is it
• 6:20
  probably a big a picture that's a standalone single. But we are working on
• 6:24
  a whole record right now. Yeah, Carl, what can you tell us
• 6:27
  about that? We're going to try some things that we haven't done before.
• 6:32
  I know every band says that they put talking about a new record, but
• 6:38
  I can tell you this is very true. And it's not going to be
• 6:41
  that we turn into a butt rock band or something like that. It's not
• 6:44
  that it's going to be some influences that are different for a band in our
• 6:51
  style. And I think that's sort of what has got us to the place
• 6:55
  that we're at is doing things a little bit differently than the other guys.
• 6:58
  So well, I'm not going to push you too much so that gues you
• 7:00
  sound like you're relucted to talk about it. I'll have more to say in
• 7:06
  the future, for sure, that's all rightble friend. So what's next for
• 7:10
  Brand of Sacrifice after not percent getting that record all prepped is for sure what
• 7:15
  we're working on and then we're in the summertime. We're going to be doing
• 7:19
  European festivals, the first leg of them, and then there'll be some more
• 7:24
  touring in America, I believe after that, but to be announced. Well,
• 7:30
  thanks very much for you John today, Carl Brand of Sacrifice at in
• 7:32
  Austraate but not fased on March twenty first, twenty third, and twenty fourth,
• 7:36
  plus the two sides shows of Lamba Cord on March twentieth and twenty fifth,
• 7:41
  So we'll be seeing a hell of a lot more of you in a
• 7:43
  couple of weeks see you then, looking forward to it.
