Speaker 5: How well?

Speaker 8: Time?

Speaker 18: M we been.

Speaker 21: Well at a time.

Speaker 23: Oh that is so good.

Speaker 1: We just heard course correct. The band is Benthic Realm and we've got let's see so we have Dan, Christa and Maureen here with us live in studio. If you missed it, they displayed live, so if you did miss it, you'll have to go back and uh and give it a listen. It sounded great, but and I love that studio track too. Course grek really good. So welcome everybody. Is it always the three of you? Are there any other members of the band who aren't here or just the three of us? You got a big sound for three people.

Speaker 1: That's really cool. That's really cool. And how do you describe I mean, is it what do you call it? Doom? I mean, what do you call how do you everyone always Hayt's this question, but in terms of genre, how do you describe what you do?

Speaker 2: Yeah, we call it melodic doom metal.

Speaker 1: Melodic doom metal, yeah, because we're.

Speaker 2: Not the classic just you know, just kind of drony, kind of you know, always at one ruhthum, you know, or one beast for a minute, I guess. Yeah, we kind of like to try to mix it up. So we all listen to heavy metal as well, so there's going to be a little bit of that influence in it.

Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 1: And how long has Benthic Ground existed? How long have you been a band?

Speaker 2: So we started this band in twenty sixteen, okay, and we actually started with a different drummer. He was in the Brian was in the band with us for I think about two years, and then he and his wife actually moved out to California. Oh, so, Dan, who has been a friend for quite some time, also plays in the band Conclave with a bunch of other friends of ours.

Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm familiar with content. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2: So he like raised his hand and said, I'd love to come play with you guys, and we said, yeah, sure, okay. So we had a rehearsal and we knew. We knew about three minutes.

Speaker 1: In excellent, excellent, And then Maureen, have you been here from the beginning or are you are you an original member? Or oh you gotta pull mic right up to you. Yeah, okay, okay, very good. So I'm curious about well, actually, let me ask you this. I'm sure you get this question all the time, but not to be cliche, but what does benthic realm mean?

Speaker 2: So, for all of you oceanographers and people who love the sea, the benthic realm is actually the lowest area in the ocean, the bottom of the ocean where all of those crazy sea creatures live. That have like like glowing tentacles and that kind of stuff. Okay, And when we were trying to come up with an for this, we had a bunch of ones that we were tossing around. We really liked this concept because we knew, okay, if we call the band benthic realm, there's a lot of material we can pull out of this, from also underwater adventures to adventures above the ocean on top of it different you know, pirate ships and all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 2: So it really lent itself to being able to just really experiment with with you know what we wanted to do in terms of different material.

Speaker 1: Yeah, all of our songs and what in terms of who writes the lyrics? You write the lyrics? Yes, oh, what can you talk a little bit about the lyrical content and some of the themes? I mean one of them and I made the comment on the ear sid I don't know what that's about. There's obviously about war. Yeah, which one was that? So that's as it burns as it burns? Yeah, I like that one a lot. I like them all, but like, are those kinds of I mean, that's probably a bit. You probably have more than one song about that, right, because it's it's something that's at the forefront of our minds.

Speaker 1: Uh, But I mean, what else, what are some of the things that you write about?

Speaker 18: Sure?

Speaker 2: So yeah, so that song is about war that I actually wrote that right after Russia had invaded Ukraine. Okay, so it's an anti war song. Obviously war is bad, so we are we're not for war, we're against it. Yeah, and try to talk about, you know, all the bad things that happened, you know, because of it. Yeah, but that's not the only topic that we talk about. So a lot of stuff that might be in the news. I might get inspiration from a news story something, something that had happened. Sometimes we just write about, you know, just fictitious stories.

Speaker 2: So vessel is I was kind of thinking about, you know, somebody who had been taken captive on a ship after they had been floating in the ocean kind of like you know, their ship had had blown up or whatever, and so they were trying to you know, save themselves and then they get taken into custody by like another ship, and then a fight ensues and they are able to escape again. And the whole point is like they have what they need. The inner strength in order to survive every single one of these obstacles that keeps coming in front of them.

Speaker 2: So there might be something like that with Fade Away. It's actually inspired by a book that I recently read, Norwegian Wood, by this Japanese writer. If somebody at work had given me the book, and it was inspired by that, so it is it's a bit of a sad song. Suicide is one of the It's a hard term to talk about sometimes, but that is one of the prominent things about the book as these people are coming of age, and I was inspired by the book to write a song to try to kind of tap into the feelings that somebody might be having from actually both sides.

Speaker 2: The person who you know, makes that decision, and then the people who are left to you know, kind of pick up the pieces afterwards. So it kind of is just a mix of things. It's whatever I get inspired by. Typically, I'll write the riffs first for the song, and then the lyrics will come afterwards, and so the music, the cadence, the way I'm feeling is going to influence what I'm going to be singing about as well.

Speaker 1: Okay, so you probably have riffs, You probably have a lot of ideas that you just don't have lyrics for yet. Right, Oh yeah, yeah, I would imagine.

Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all on my phone. I do have to record them so I don't forget them.

Speaker 10: Yes.

Speaker 1: Now, Dan made a comment too off air that you're the best cap you're as a vocalist. You're like the best kept secret in Doom and you do have a great voice. I love your voice.

Speaker 10: Thank you.

Speaker 4: I was really shy about it.

Speaker 1: Yeah, how did you learn to sing like that? Did you take any lessons or did you just are you self taught?

Speaker 2: Pretty much, just self taught. I took a handful of lessons several years ago, but I didn't really. It was more about like breathing control and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: I think I took like four or five lessons.

Speaker 1: And that was about it.

Speaker 2: So wosta is just self taught. But I come from a family of musicians. My mother sings, she plays acoustic guitar. Her brother played guitar and sang in a band as well. So it's a part of our family.

Speaker 1: Okay, So it's probably a foregone conclusion from a young age that you're going to be a musician. Pretty much.

Speaker 2: I started pretty young.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, when did you, like, when did you start writing in this this genre?

Speaker 2: So I started playing guitar when I was twelve, and I wrote my first song at thirteen, Okay, And when I think back to what that first song was in the lyrics, there's they it kind of has stayed the same. Yeah, I'm a little doomy, A little gloomy. That just part of my nature, sure, but specifically with doom, I've just sort of gravitated towards that. So way back in the mid nineties, I was in a band called Warhorse, and we were a traditional, more traditional doom I guess, really slow, really heavy kind of stuff.

Speaker 2: And it like you can hear the common thread. Marena said this of all the different releases I've put out with different bands over the years, Like you can you hear that common thread of Christa. You know that it's in there regardless of whether she's playing guitar, just singing or whatnot. So it's just sort of, I guess at this point, like just built into my.

Speaker 1: DNA, right right. And then on the uh when I hear layered vocals and some of the songs, is that all you yes is yeah? Okay, yeah, okay, Yeah.

Speaker 2: The downside is like, we can't pull that off live. Yeah, unlus we start using backing tracks. But yeah, so we definitely play in this studio. Will layer guitars, we layer vocals. So it's a it's a it's just another way to really, you know, beef up the songs, bring it to life. Really, you know, share the vision.

Speaker 1: That we had for it. Okay, are you all from around here? Are you all from New Hampshire or.

Speaker 2: We're from Massachusetts, Massachusetts from Massachusetts, wester based band.

Speaker 1: Okay, okay, excellent, Well thanks for making the trip up. I know that's happy, happy to be here. This is not a terrible drive, No, no, not at all.

Speaker 2: They're sailing the whole way.

Speaker 1: Do you play a lot of shows in Wister because I used to, so not recently. I'm a musician, but I haven't played in a long time, but I used to. I was in bands that we used to play a lot of shows in Wister, just because there are always a few like is the atrium still there? That's probably long gone because I've mentioned it to people, And do you all remember the atrium that was in Wister? Okay, yeah, well yeah, that actually does go back a long way and now that I'm thinking about it, But but like what's the scene?

Speaker 1: Like there are there are a lot of a lot of good places to play and other bands that you kind of team up with.

Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's Ralph's is the main, main place, the main place to play. There's a lot of other doom bands that play faces a bay on Evil eighty Conclave. We all have to share a rehearsal space as well.

Speaker 1: That's convenient, right.

Speaker 2: I know we've talked about like just taking the Temple of Doom room and just turning that into a show. We still have yet to do that.

Speaker 1: By the way, every drummer we have on the show is in like ten Are you just in two, Dan or do you have like okay, because most most drummers are in like ten different bands. Okay, No, But that's convenient though, right to just share the space. Yeah, So where do you record? Because the production on the studio tracks is amazing and I would imagine you have to work with somebody who really understands the genre right to capture that sound, I would think. So I'm curious about what the recording process is like for the band.

Speaker 18: So this last album, Vessel.

Speaker 2: Was shoving the microphone space that you can hear him.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 18: It was done out in Western Massachusetts with a place called Sonic Titan Studios, who has kind of given up their space that they had, but they'll still do mobile production, mobile recording events, all kinds of stuff. And Anthony, who was partners with Brian, was the master of the helm for this recording. He's a monster musician, an absolutely incredible drummer, so I was. I was very well taken care of for this one. Yeah, he kind of guided me through a lot of setup. He even changed out some heads and whatnot when we got into the studio instead of playing on it, stuff that he had that he thought would sound, you know, sonically sound much better, and he was right.

Speaker 18: Came out beautiful. We were extremely happy with the process for him working with him. Hopefully maybe there's a potential that, you know, we can still get him involved in the future. I don't know where it'll be, how it would happen.

Speaker 1: YEA.

Speaker 18: Yeah, he's touring all the time. He's a guest, but he's been playing with Jamie Josta recently and all the kind of individual Jasta stuff that he's been doing. Great dude too, he's just just a great person. The album before Vessel, but the EP was done with Benny Grotto at Madoak Studios in Cambridge, also Cambridge, which he's still functioning as far as I know, their studio is going to stay intact. They've been hearing a lot of rumors about that whole block kind of transforming into something brand new, and they're they're actually located right behind us at Harvard Square, not.

Speaker 2: Harvard Square, It's I don't know what the square is where that is, but it's it's the whole area has been undergoing development has They've been knocking down buildings and putting up fancy high rises and fancy bars and that sort of stuff. So, yeah, so there's been talk for quite some time about O'Brien's, that whole area that O'Brien's Pub is going to get knocked down in the something. Yeah, with Benny being right behind it, I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Speaker 18: Buying any houses or in the additional real estate. And I're also supposed to have in that building when it gets built back up, Supposedly it's going to have O'Brien's will be revived and brought back, but also great Scott. Oh okay, well we lost in Boston.

Speaker 2: I think that was prior to COVID or right around I think it was yeah, during COVID. H.

Speaker 18: So the rumor is that they're supposed to have a twin venue there plus probably some mixture space, maybe residential or something.

Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but there are.

Speaker 18: Another great studio, and you know we may be able to work with them.

Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so many different options and different ways to record now, you know, now more than ever, I'm curious. You know, COVID came up. Do you have songs about the pandemic?

Speaker 2: No, songs about the pandemic?

Speaker 1: Surprises surprised me a little bit.

Speaker 18: Wow, the time everyone wants to forget.

Speaker 1: Yeah, kidding.

Speaker 2: Interesting, we are writing for the new album. So perhaps now that you just planted a se maybe you could you.

Speaker 1: Could still do that?

Speaker 4: Yeah?

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, when it when you play live, because again, it's only the three of you, is it, is it challenging it at all to duplicate or maybe maybe you can't duplicate it perfectly. But but I mean, you know, you've got a big sound for for a three piece. You know, there's a that maybe a little cliche, but you know the term power trio.

Speaker 18: We love it.

Speaker 1: But uh good, good? But I mean, is that is that hard to pull off live at all?

Speaker 5: Or is is it?

Speaker 1: Does it come naturally? I mean, at this point you've been around a while, it probably is pretty easy. But maybe not. I don't know. I don't find it challenging.

Speaker 2: I do miss having the backing vocals. Yeah, But the other piece of it is it we also recorded most.

Speaker 1: Of it live. Oh okay, Oh okay, well that helps, right.

Speaker 18: Yeah, we don't like do separate tracking to a click or anything like that. Okay, okay, into the space and do a live track, which usually will grab the drums out of okay, and then they can go back and either read or or fix or any they want to actually, and.

Speaker 2: Then just layer on top of it. So usually the my scratch track that we'd be recording when we're doing the live and we're all in the room together, that's we can keep it. Yeah, And then I'll just you know, punch in here or there just to fix a couple of bloops that I had, Yeah, and then I'll just go back and replay through the whole entire thing with just a different rig a different guitar just to get another, you know, more fuller sound. Yeah, but I think you know, we play pretty loud, so I'd like to think that we fill up the fill up the space.

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, that advantage right, Yeah, Yeah, my amp goes to eleven.

Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 18: We play with a lot of passion live, so I think that comes through so yeah, and it helps fill it out.

Speaker 1: Are there other bands in the area that you you know, it kind of happens organically that that you've kind of teamed up with that you play a lot of shows with. Probably, Or have you ever done a show where you're playing with Conclave and spent the realm the same night.

Speaker 18: Yeah, We've had a couple of those with Double Duty.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 18: Local bands that we've been spending more time with lately would be Able Blood Yep.

Speaker 1: I love Able Blood. I've been on the show a few times.

Speaker 18: Love them great, great people.

Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, a.

Speaker 18: Lot of fun to play with, great musicians. Yeah, a lot of the local scene, they all we all kind of migrate together, Yeah, in and out and whatnot. But I'd say in recent time we've spent a lot of shows with it.

Speaker 1: That's great.

Speaker 18: Yeah, we have another one coming up with them in November at Kuodo and Salem.

Speaker 1: Okay, excellent, it'll be cool, excellent.

Speaker 18: Yeah them does Profits also on the bill?

Speaker 1: Does Profits great. I used to be in a band with Auto Kinzell a lot of time. We were in a band called Chemical Distance together. That was when Otto was you know, every project he did, you know, it would only last for you know, because he'd want to do something else, so it would only last a short time. But does Profits He's had for for quite a while now that seems to be found something he can really stick with that fulfills him and he's incredible. Well, I love Auto absolutely great guy.

Speaker 18: They're on the bill as well. There's a a band coming I think from New York, Black Tongue, Reverend Name and of course Sabled Blood. They're the ones that put the show together.

Speaker 1: Oh okay, fantastic. And where is that?

Speaker 18: Want to get Quoto and Salem?

Speaker 1: Okay, I haven't been to that venue, but I've heard about it.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Salem, Massachusetts, Massachusetts.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which is oh yes, yeah, oh yeah. Is that that time of year?

Speaker 2: Well, fortunately it's right afterwards. We don't have to deal with all the crazy traffic, insane during October. You need to stay away from it. Anybody who lives in Salem, Like, I don't know how you do it, because I would just would be enough to make me move.

Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 18: So the show's on November eighth, she said, it's just passed the whole Yeah, you know wild Halloween time.

Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, okay, that's a great name, but I'm not familiar with that. I am familiar with Vigil, but not World Worth Worth Burning. But no, I tell everyone the same thing about who hasn't been in Terminius yet? And you'll probably agree. It's like when you walk into that room, it's like walking into another world.

Speaker 18: It's really cool.

Speaker 1: Yeah, really cool. It's incredible. Yeah, very nice, very nice. Well, we do have one more studio track that we're gonna play. I want to make sure we don't run out of time, so we'll get to that in a moment.

Speaker 2: We actually have not.

Speaker 1: That's good, that's good.

Speaker 2: Yeah, we're lucky. Yeah, a lot of people do say wait, say that again. So yeah, it's definitely not a word that gets used a lot.

Speaker 1: So we're going to close out in a moment with summon the Tide? What should we know about this song? What's this one about?

Speaker 2: So there's a lot of death and destruction that makes its way into what I write. Yeah, So this song is a fictitious thing. I was kind of envisioning like a goddess who has, you know, the control of the seas and of the water and all of that sort of thing, and she has gotten really depressed. She's kind of, you know, coming at the end of questioning her own existence and everything, and in the in the means of kind of taking herself out of the picture, she ends up, unfortunately taking everybody else out with her.

Speaker 4: Yeah, as she is.
