Anzzia: Its amazing how things work out. Wow!
Meka: Then the other guys too, I always wanted Danny and you know, Danny stepped right in. Then Jarret and Nick the same way. They were in other bands, they left the bands, we had always had a good relationship with both of them, in their other bands and whatever else they were doing and they just had great, unique personalities and we were like, “Aww, shit, this is going to be great.”
Anzzia: /laughs Perfect timing!
Meka: It is! It is magic. You know, I have my skeptic side. I really learned that you just go with the flow and you just trust that gut, just trust that feeling and intuition. That is what has gotten us this far. Which matters because you know, all the things, all the reasons, the airing of our soul. I'm going to give you the super mystical perspective because of my personality. But, they are all great guys and they all get it. We are all on board with this vision and the reason I started this project. I really wanted to do something different and something special, something that meant something. I definitely think in the middle we need that space. Any Metalhead can show up to a concert and be whatever emotion they wanted to be. Angry, sad, happy, excited, but they are always welcome in the Metal family. I feel that with my band. My band is very welcoming to everyone and each other. But with us we are, you know, instead of just encouraging just the anger, be angry and then we encourage the healing. We encourage the challenge and the recovery. We encourage the optimism and it is really the empowerment and the courage it takes to get up every day and face this crazy world.
Danny Arrieta:
"My music career started young with Violin and orchestra instruments, I taught myself bass and guitar and from there life took an amazing turn. I had the opportunity to tour the US with multiple bands across genres and musical styles and my adventures led me to Orlando. The first band I auditioned for in Orlando was right after Bobby had auditioned and he helped me unload this heavy guitar amp. From that point on I knew Orlando was the right place to be and Bobby was going to be good people.
