Why this name?

just my name

Do you play live?

Most of this stuff is just me in the house, but I've put up some samples of my bands songs and stuff too.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Its easier to access music and hear a band without wasting money if you don't like it

I think it should be used as a preview really, and you should still buy the bands albums and go to shows/buy merch etc...

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

As long as i still had creative control and the label had an understanding of metal music, then sure why not!

Many labels that release metal records, like roadrunner, are owned by major labels now anyway

Your influences?

God Forbid, Threat Signal, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Disarmonia Mundi, Racer X, Sylosis, The Haunted, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marco Sfogli, Marty Friedman...

Favorite spot?

Glasgow is still pretty nice.

definetly want to go to Finland, Sweden and Japan thoguh!
