Scotty J Sits Down With ‘Soon To Be’ Legendary Metal Gods… Interview by Scotty J Photography by Sweeney Photography www.rocktitan.tv Music by LORDS OF THE TRIDENT “Winds of the Storm” If it's one thing I've learned about the music entertainment industry over the last few years, it's that in order to be a successful musician, the artist must bring more to the table than just the music. There must be an entertainment factor! May he rest in peace--the legendary front man for MOTÖRHEAD, LEMMY KILMISTER made this point abundantly clear: "If you're going to be a fucking rock star, go be one. People don't want to see the guy next door on stage; they want to see a being from another planet." I've covered over 300 independent bands in the last three and a half years. Whether it was interviews, filmed videos, or magazine article--you name it--there are few musicians that actually get it. Meet LORDS OF THE TRIDENT! Lords of the Trident, an independent Metal Band hailing from Wisconsin, epitomize what it takes to make it in today’s music industry. These guys aren't just incredibly talented musicians. They take it to a whole new level of creativity…and beyond. With a backstory that would have you believe their existence predates recorded time--combined with the energy and business savvy to take advantage of everything today’s technologies have to offer--Lords of the Trident are on the cusp of greatness.
