Brent & Gary were at school together and decided let’s not just listen to metal, let’s get a band together and make metal, we started doing covers and things just evolved from there. How often are you guys able to get together and practice? Minimum once a week but essentially as often as we can. Where do you guys practice at? We have a band room set up in a railway container in Auckland, What got you into music, and what are your influences? Music has always been a big part of our lives, bands like Iron Maiden, Testament, Megadeth, Sepultura it is all infectious and we were infected at an early age.
