Theres a storm brewing and I dont mean that the curry that settles in my stomach this morning wants to take revenge, Its not long at all for SMF2013 so I think its time to introduce Bury the Fallen.
These lads are back and ready to show southport why SMF2013 is the hottest ticket in town.
WHATS THE NAME OF YOUR BAND, AND WHAT ARE YOUR NAMES AND JOBS IN THE BAND?
We are Bury The Fallen; Sean Duffy - Guitars & Screamed Vocals, Ben Middlehurst - Guitars, Jacob Walsh - Bass, Sam Roj - Drums & Clean Vocals
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER, AND HOW DID YOU START?
We started as a few mates having a laugh in high school as part of a music project about 5 years ago - we gigged for around a year and reformed with the final line-up around 2 years back
WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM THE REST?
A range of different influences & musical styles blend together to create a fusion of metal, rock, groove and melody that we feel is unique to the world of music - so we find it pretty hard to confine ourselves to a single genre/sub-genre!
WHO ARE YOUR MAIN INFLUENCES MUSICALLY?
A vast spectrum ranging from In Flames, Soilwork & Killswitch Engage, to Alter Bridge, Kiss, Gary Moore & Steel Panther - a little bit of everything good!
WHAT ARE YOUR SONGS MOSTLY ABOUT?
Our Messages EP mainly hits on the topic of the human mind, and the range of different feelings and emotions of a man left in isolation with nothing but his own thoughts and memories, while our newer songs lyrically focus more on a more specific topic - our take on the variety of reactions and responses that would be observed during the end of the world; love, fear, religion, loss, and survival, among others - we like to hit on something that's a bit different and hopefully thought-provoking!
WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE SONG THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN? Bit of disagreement on this one, but probably either one of our newest songs "Homeward" or maybe even another one we have in the works to be released very soon!
IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN ONE WORD, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
We'd probably have to go for our closest hybrid-genre we can think of mashed into one word, so... MelodicGrooveMetal!
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BEST MOMENT / GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AS A BAND SO FAR?
As a band our greatest achievement so far has probably been recording our debut EP Messages - the reception from it has been insane and we had an awesome time in studio
WHATS NEXT FOR YOU GUYS?
Hopefully more shows, more fans, more songs... Maybe even a full-length album on the horizon!
WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND YOU TO HEAR MORE? FACEBOOK YOUTUBE WEBSITE ETC. We can be found at www.facebook.com/BuryTF, and also www.reverbnation.com/BuryTF where 2 tracks from our EP can be found, EPs and shirts available at www.BuryTF.bigcartel.com
HOW DO YOU RATE YOUR LOCAL SCENE AT THE MOMENT?
The Liverpool metal scene has produced a load of great bands lately, and gigs are always a good laugh and a great show - they just need more people about to enjoy them!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO CHANGE/ IMPROVE IT?
Bigger events with a mix of big names and younger bands, like the Metal Fest, are always a plus and a good way to bring tonnes of different fans together
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON EVENTS LIKE THESE- WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MORE?
Definitely, they seem to gather a huge following and go down great!
DO YOU THINK THAT THERE IS A LACK OF ORIGINALITY OR A WILLINGNESS TO PUSH BOUNDERYS IN METAL AS A GENRE?
We reckon that the best thing a band can do is to play the music they love, regardless of whether it's deemed as being 'unoriginal' or not, but it's always great seeing bands that bring something different to the table, and we like to think we do just that WHAT IS THE
BIGGEST WORRY YOU GUYS FACE AS A BAND? STD's,
mate! They suck!
IF YOU COULD SUPPORT ANY BAND, WHO WOULD IT BE?
For me (Duffy) supporting In Flames or Soilwork would be my perfect show - but really any of the bands we take influence from would be awesome to support
WHO WOULD WIN- GANDALF OR DARTH VADER?
Gandalf, as he looks very similar to our drummer, Roj- and he's awesome!
FINALLY- WHY SHOULD PEOPLE COME AND SEE YOU PLAY?
Cause there is a very high chance that The Roj will get his nips out on stage. And that would be a sight noone would want to miss.
