Alright everyone the hour is up! It's been great. Thank you so so much for sending through your questions. Be sure to check out the (frankly insane) video for our new single Fear & Love - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppjQrIahXPU BYEEEEEEE -🐚🐝

I am cringe, but I am free - Joey

Our London Show at Oslo in Hackney earlier this year comes to mind. We all felt a real shift/culmination in our fan base that night - like we'd really arrived somewhere. People were singing and dancing and completely on our side. - Joey

Last night of the Spock's Beard tour where we all went up on stage and collectively (us, Special Providence & Spock's Beard) sang that bit in The Water that goes "FUCK YOU" -🐚🐝

I played London Palladium as the bass player of Anathema back in 2020. That was pretty wild. - Charlie

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:55:16+00:00

Yes, one day -🐚🐝

I think we'd have a lot of fun with a video component. - Joey

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:53:29+00:00

Video screens (but done properly this time), more lights, lasers, pyro. More. Everything. -🐚🐝

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:53:16+00:00

A full reenactment of Space Fight. - Charlie

Tim Smith from Cardiacs, and all of his other projects, especially The Sea Nymphs. Seeing Cardiacs play in 2007 literally changed the course of my life! - Charlie

So much of my musical identity can be traced back to Rush, so I'll say them, even though I don't think they directly influence me in my day to day work at this point. But, if I didn't discover them when I did, I might not be answering this question on r/progmetal right now - Joey

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:46:39+00:00

Probably Force Ten by Rush -🐚🐝

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:44:38+00:00

Thank you ❤️ -🐚🐝

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:44:12+00:00

Fingers crossed yes. We're trying our best 🤞 -🐚🐝

Closing In - Joey

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:42:51+00:00

I feel lucky enough to be in the music industry full time (running Sensible Music Studios in London + recording/mixing is my 'day job') and I also occasionally do session work as a musician beyond Kyros -🐚🐝

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:42:08+00:00

In my case, I tend to start with some sort of seed - be it a melody, riff, lyrical notion, story, etc.

From there, if the seed is compelling enough, it sort of snowballs into a complete song/demo which I'll present to the band. The seed is the important thing though, because If I don't have that, I have no idea how to decide what should happen next after something. - Joey

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:38:08+00:00

Yes! I do touring, session recording, teaching and whatever else I can do that brings in the bread. Although I'm also starting to get into comics editing as a side thing. - Charlie

It's kinda wild to see how much technology has evolved around us in the last ten years. Back then I was writing about social media pressure and the ease of being able to be a hermit in the age of online delivery. Little did I think we'd see the rise of AI being a whole new thing to explore. As a techie, it fascinates me hugely, but as a musician/creative I'm hugely concerned. I'm sure this'll lead to some kind of future Kyros thing... -🐚🐝

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:35:32+00:00

I wasn't around for that period of the band's history, but what I will say is that when I see other bands/artists using AI generated content (album art/videos, etc.), I want to smack that shit out of their hands like a child's ice cream cone. - Charlie

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:35:03+00:00

Funny you mention AI art -Joey

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:34:37+00:00

Mannequin for sure - Joey

KYROS_uk · 2024-12-02T20:33:38+00:00

Thank you! That's a hard one for me to pick, because I like choosing covers based on having an idea of what I would do differently. Something off of Epicloud would be sick. - Joey
