members after a show. Do you see it as a release of everything you had going on being emptied out onto that stage?

Adam: Definitely. I don't think I would have continued with music if it wasn't some sort of therapy for me. I have been to therapy many times over and I believe in it. I'm not a fan of medicinal therapy, however some people need it and it's there for a reason. In our day and age, it's exploded into this big thing and really the thing that

solves people's problems is them spilling it and actually realizing what it is.

MO: As a performance is coming up, can you feel the energy building up inside?

Adam: You can. You can get a sense from the crowd and honestly, sometimes it takes until I see the crowd doing it for you that you snap into it. I try as best I can to come on to the stage with that mentality. Sometime all it take is that one person in the back of the crowd really getting into it and going nuts and you tell yourself, ok, that's the guy I got to work for.

MO: So you guys are on tour right now. Who are you touring with and how long is the tour going?

Adam: It's called the No Mercy, No Surrender tour and Sworn Enemy is headlining it. We are the direct support with Dark Sermon and Hammerfight has been opening it up. It's four bands from very different genres. Hammerfight is similar to a Motorhead/punk rock mix, Dark Sermon is very doomy almost like black metal, Wretched is all over with thrash and death and then Sworn Enemy is old school hard core with some thrash. It's been cool. I have listened to Sworn Enemy since I was young.

MO: So after this tour is done, what are some things that fans can look forward to?

Adam: We will start writing new material to get ready to start working on the next album although we are not going to start recording in the very near future. We are looking to tour this summer but don't have anything booked just yet.

MO: Is there anything you would like to say to your fans out there?

Adam: Check out all our music on Victory Records. We endorse smoking marijuana, so if you want to come smoke with us, we are all for it. Keep kicking ass and listen to all kinds of music and don't be one track minded and get stuck in one genre.
