Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Raven met his would be mentor pHear 20 years ago. They both had the same ideas of how they wanted their music to sound....they eventually joined forces to form Militia, which released 2 albums and slowly faded after the Oklahoma City bombing left them in disbelief and wanted NO association with name.
A few years later they decided to have a go at it again, this time with a new moniker, Brutal Bastion was born. Mixing harsh electro with experimental soundscapes and ambient realms.
Releasing 2 full length albums that got them some critical acclaim.
[e]On was asked to join for the newest endeavor
thus allowing for an even broader spectrum of styles.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Presently the only time you'll hear a Brutal track is when Beta plays....we're hoping to have a full Brutal Bastion show soon.
Your musical influences
horror movie soundtracks, early delerium, puppy's brap series, and anything that scares the shit outta you.
What equipment do you use?
I'll get back to you on this one...we have 3 seperate studios and will have to confer with my bandmates as to which model board they have now.
I know it's Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Sequencial Circuits, Ensoniq and various types of warez.
Anything else?
New album is scheduled for release Halloween 2004. Be sure to check coma-dose.net for orders.
