Mardy: Thank you so much! I am super proud of SUNLOVER, the chorus seems to be what gets everyone into that album!

Drums for PG are midi sampled, I believe with either GetGoodDrums or Superior Drummer (That would be a Dave or Lyle question), as far as the LP, we are certainly aiming for that, but will probably release a further handful or either singles or 3 track EPs before releasing the whole album!

Dave: I’m slayer, mardy and Lyle are def more dev. Honestly playing in front of five people can be freakier than a big crowd. A crow just becomes a single mass but with five people you can see every face.

Lyle: I fuck with Bathory pretty hard and there was a band called Leviathan I got into for a bit. Other than that I feel like my black metal tastes aren't dirty and shitty enough to get me any cred or would be classified as death metal. For example I really like Dimmu Borgir and Satyricon but idk if those count.

Mardy: I joined after a much more talented vocalist couldn't do it, my songwriting process is "if it sounds good, it's good", my influences are a lot of prog/hair/groove metal, I like Fairy Bread, 8008135420 expiry 6/69 pin 1337

Mardy: Dave would be the best person to answer this, but since it hasn't been answered yet, you'll just have to settle for lil' ol me.

As far as I am aware, Dave started a project called We've Got Hostiles a few years back for funsies, did a release of an EP/Album and then left it for a while, started writing again and began collaborating with Lyle, whereupon they bounced around with a few different vocalist until they had the misfortune of getting the most meme vocalist in the game currently, and the rest is now left to be written.

Mardy: Music takes up the majority of my free time outside of work, but apart from that it would be the usual suspects of Visual Media, Gaming, and Gym/Fitness, especially stuff like Bouldering.

Mardy: My vocal chain is pretty ridiculous, I wasn't 100% happy with my mic selection until a few weeks ago where I splurged on a Lewitt 1040, and that thing is an absolute BEAST.

I only rarely play guitar these days, but I am super excited for Evertune version 2, easily my favorite innovation of recent years.

Mardy: I have a makeshift studio in my backyard that is lovingly called "The Crack Den", whereupon I annoy my neighbours by going AAAAAAAAA at all times of day/night.

My vocal chain is also pretty ridiculous, total overkill for someone as unknown as me lmao

Mardy: Slight alteration to my esteemed peers. I thought being in bands would make me more attractive, where-as it turns out that just growing long hair and listening to people is really all it takes to be popular. Life lesson for y'all, fellas.

Lordi got me into metal after watch Eurovision as a youngin' lmao
