Boris Randall of HALLOWMAS & Various Other Projects.
Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
I don't play live with my solo material.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think, honestly, it works both ways-good and bad.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not. I'm signed to Coffin Records, and I like the semi-pro aspect of that. I'm not really interested in being an enormous rock star type.
Band History:
Boris has over 21 years of musical experience that includes guitar, drums, bass, vocals, keyboards, and whatever else. He also has many years as an engineer for bands such as Mudd Tongue, Cythrawl, and most recently, working as part-engineer on the latest Necrophagia release, "Goblins Be Thyne."
Boris also has many years in writing and arranging from metal, rock, to dark symphonic styles. He was the mastermind behind The Splatterpunks, The Performing Dead, and currently dishes out the devil with his newest band Hallowmas. Side projects include The Autumn Dead and Thoracic Disruptor. Guest vocal appearances include work with Necrophagia and Nokturne.

Your influences?
Samhain is a big influence as well as Bauhaus, dark ambient music. I like alot of movie score music. Horror, of course.
Favorite spot?
Usually in my studio.
Equipment used:
Roland 18 track, B.C. Rich, Fender, anything that obeys!
Anything else...?
This solo stuff is just to let you get a taste of what's to come. I've been promised a release from my lable, but not until I finish 3 albums with Hallowmas first. So, hopefully, this will generate some interest.
