Speaker 13: more than behind the kit. Yes, we have the next
Speaker 13: person in line that's taken that place.
Speaker 16: Yes, yes, I am Thrax and I am one of
Speaker 16: one of the the drummers in this band because obviously
Speaker 16: you you are a and we're the drummer for for
Speaker 16: Dead Harrison. But here, I I think I've been in
Speaker 16: since what twenty nineteen? Yes, I think it was wave Breakers, Yeah,
Speaker 16: but yeah, wave Breakers on in Hampton Beach. The place
Speaker 16: doesn't exist anymore Cloud nine, Oh no, rest.
Speaker 12: But to the next to me, Hey, I am Sean
Speaker 12: the Dead.
Speaker 17: I am the lead guitar player and do a lot
Speaker 17: of backup singing and screaming and fun stuff like that.
Speaker 15: Yes, yes, Jason, and I'm Jason Skull's the bass player,
Speaker 15: and I also do some backup vocals as well.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes. So when did Dead Harrison start? How long
Speaker 11: is that Harrison in?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 11: In total? Because originally because there was before before tracks?
Speaker 6: Is that?
Speaker 18: Well you went through three names before.
Speaker 11: Well I used to call you at I know, but
Speaker 11: are you? Are you officially? Like you're just tracks for
Speaker 11: everything now, including this?
Speaker 18: I mean I'm trying to but no, I like it.
Speaker 11: I like it. It's cool. So before before Thrax was
Speaker 11: in the band though, so when you were, because you
Speaker 11: guys were at three piece for a long time, right
Speaker 11: you were, you were playing drums and that was so
Speaker 11: that was the original iteration of the band. So when
Speaker 11: did that start? It seems like you guys have been
Speaker 11: around a long time.
Speaker 13: Yeah, two thousand and eight time frame, two thousand and eight,
Speaker 13: at least ten years of us like just the fifteen Yeah,
Speaker 13: here's just the three of us yea. And it was
Speaker 13: like after like the ten and eleven years, just like
Speaker 13: I want somebody behind the kit. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 13: it needs something a little bit more.
Speaker 11: Right, right, so then, so this configuration has existed for
Speaker 11: so since twenty nineteen. Yes, yeah, okay, okay, and then
Speaker 11: we should talk about and we'll we'll circle back to it.
Speaker 11: Of course, we'll mention it a couple of times during
Speaker 11: this hour. But you got a big show tonight and
Speaker 11: you're even giving away some CDs for it, so we
Speaker 11: should tell people about that. And for those watching online,
Speaker 11: if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube or any of
Speaker 11: the other various platforms that we stream the video to,
Speaker 11: you do have some CDs right there in your hands.
Speaker 13: I have, and there will be more whoever comes to
Speaker 13: the show tonight at Terminus Underground for the Shadow Lounge event,
Speaker 13: which is also Eleanor's birthday.
Speaker 12: Happy Birthday, Happy birth Happy Birthday.
Speaker 13: And uh so uh this is uh is going to
Speaker 13: be a fun little gothy dance party night. And uh yeah,
Speaker 13: we'll have some CDs for you. You come over there,
Speaker 13: you come and enjoy some tunes, You come and dance
Speaker 13: with us, and you just say, hey, I heard you
Speaker 13: on the show. And guess what you get A free CD.
Speaker 11: Very nice, very nice. Yes, uh the new CD of course, Uh,
Speaker 11: none for all. And this is how many songs are
Speaker 11: there's a lot of songs.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, there's a couple extra tracks, but basically ten songs.
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, great you guys. You guys have done a
Speaker 11: lot of If you've done any EPs or has it
Speaker 11: all been full length albums? I don't remember.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 13: The thing is is like, so where the Darkness came
Speaker 13: from was kind of based off of an EP, and
Speaker 13: so what ended up without what did? There was a
Speaker 13: couple of different recording sessions that we did the Darkness
Speaker 13: came out of.
Speaker 12: Was that the one with Connor?
Speaker 18: So that was.
Speaker 12: Did the Darkness?
Speaker 17: We did our Bad Moon Rising cover then and then
Speaker 17: we also did Black Collar Worker.
Speaker 12: And the Struggle in.
Speaker 13: The Struggle, and then we did a later session with
Speaker 13: Joel which was Nameless Dream and End of the Bloodline.
Speaker 13: Those two EPs technically will eventually be put together to
Speaker 13: be the first half of None for All. So that
Speaker 13: EP sect, because you have the story of the Mortuus Ortis,
Speaker 13: was the first CD, so that's its own. Then there
Speaker 13: was the six songs that were only put out digitally
Speaker 13: never physically. Oh okay, so those will eventually be put
Speaker 13: onto physical gotcha, And that will be the first part
Speaker 13: All for None and none for all.
Speaker 11: Oh interesting, interesting, okay? And Mortuous Artists. That was so
Speaker 11: when I when I first met you guys, that was
Speaker 11: the original. That was like the precursor to Dead Harrison,
Speaker 11: right correct? And then what was the change to becoming
Speaker 11: Dead Harrison. I don't know, and I'm sure you've told
Speaker 11: the story before on the show. I don't remember exactly
Speaker 11: how it went, and of course, you know, new our
Speaker 11: listeners won't know, like, like, how did how did you
Speaker 11: go from from uh, mortuous Artists to becoming Dead Harrison.
Speaker 13: It was nameplay basically, in the first incarnation of trying
Speaker 13: and putting together, the guys was thinking of a Halloween
Speaker 13: feel and I was just like, oh, you know, Dead
Speaker 13: Rising would be cool, But at the same time, it
Speaker 13: was a video game. It was that's so I just
Speaker 13: threw Dead Rising through a Latin translator and it came
Speaker 13: back with mortuous or okay, and so I was like, oh,
Speaker 13: that sounds cool. We ran with that for like three years.
Speaker 13: Like as the name problem is is everybody kept misspelling
Speaker 13: it all I remember that they couldn't remember it and
Speaker 13: they couldn't pronounce it. So it was like, ah, we
Speaker 13: got to do something different, and so that was a
Speaker 13: brainstorming thing where I went back home and I was
Speaker 13: just like, I'm going to throw this back into an
Speaker 13: English translator from Latin, and it gave me Dead having
Speaker 13: a risen. And as I was saying dead having a
Speaker 13: risen in my head, for some reason, George Harrison popped
Speaker 13: into my head and I was like, Dead having a risen,
Speaker 13: Dead Harrison, Ye, I like that, ye, And yeah, so
Speaker 13: it had like a little bit of a dark dive
Speaker 13: with beginning with Dead, but then Harrison was just kind
Speaker 13: of like uplifting. I mean, we could put Harrison too,
Speaker 13: like different names and faces and whatnot, but it was
Speaker 13: just like it was just developing a character now, you know.
Speaker 13: Now it's a little bit more than just a name.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 11: The great thing too about having a name like that
Speaker 11: is you don't have to worry that somebody else is
Speaker 11: going to have it, you know, whereas what Dead having arisen,
Speaker 11: you know, there's probably some there's probably some death metal
Speaker 11: band somewhere that has that name already, you know what
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, and then then you know, you
Speaker 11: go to upload it to Spotify and oh, somebody already
Speaker 11: has his name. But but Dad Harrison, you know, chances are.
Speaker 11: I mean, I assume you have not encountered another week.
Speaker 17: And we've trademarked the website name and everything, so yeah,
Speaker 17: we someone else snagging it, right, Yeah, that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 17: And that was another reason why we change it too,
Speaker 17: because like the mortuous Orders, you think it's probably some
Speaker 17: like really heavy.
Speaker 12: Everybody a black metal band. Yeah you know you listen
Speaker 12: to us. No, it's not quite what we are dis
Speaker 12: a point.
Speaker 11: So the show tonight, like who else is playing?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 11: Is it just you guys?
Speaker 12: Or is that the show tonight that we're playing on
Speaker 12: DJ and oh you are so?
Speaker 13: Oh okay, Dred the Dad is going to be spinning
Speaker 13: some oh C classics, oh club class.
Speaker 12: Oh wow, okay, and we have a show.
Speaker 14: Next week is oh point, that'll be us.
Speaker 13: That'll be the oh okay on the twenty fifth.
Speaker 11: Oh so tell us about that.
Speaker 12: Oh that's going to be fun.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 12: I have to kind of pull up the events so
Speaker 12: I can make sure that I get well able.
Speaker 18: Blood's going to be on there. Nice Realm oh yeah
Speaker 18: yeah with septic.
Speaker 11: Benic Realm. Yeah, they were on last week. They came
Speaker 11: in and played acoustic. I was like, wow, this is impressive.
Speaker 13: Actually, I think able Blood is not able to play.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, but we have which is love which Trot.
Speaker 12: Yeah, they're going to be joining us for that one.
Speaker 17: Benthic Realm Psychomancium that was the other one, then the
Speaker 17: Concept Core they're really good, and then we'll be we'll
Speaker 17: be headlining. Yeah, and that one starts at seven pm
Speaker 17: and it's the ritual of Sam Haynen.
Speaker 11: Who's Sam Hayne No, I'm kidding, Harrison's brother. Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 11: We should talk a little bit more too about so
Speaker 11: people who aren't familiar with Terminus Underground, like like what
Speaker 11: should people know about that? But people haven't been there.
Speaker 11: You know what I tell everybody. I always say, the
Speaker 11: first time you walk into that, into that room, it's
Speaker 11: like walking into a different world.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean it's pretty much how it is, because, uh,
Speaker 13: what people don't realize is like that place is actually
Speaker 13: our rehearsal spot, and so it's grown as like an
Speaker 13: art of spot. Also because it's like I have my
Speaker 13: art up on the wall, the guys all like we
Speaker 13: have all made it into like this cool room. Yeah,
Speaker 13: you know, so it has its own feeling, it has
Speaker 13: I mean, granted I spent countless hours in there, just decorating,
Speaker 13: putting stuff ufling.
Speaker 12: I mean, it's just because that's what I do.
Speaker 11: I remember when you were when you were kind of
Speaker 11: still building it. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 13: So as it grows, as it like gets new things
Speaker 13: and new pieces and moving stuff around and like it's
Speaker 13: keeping a very uh homey feel, but at the same
Speaker 13: time it kind of has like a cool little nod
Speaker 13: to horror vibe, Like it has a creepy element, but
Speaker 13: at the same time, like has this really comfortable, Like
Speaker 13: you're going to be comfortable dying here?
Speaker 14: Right, It's very it's very inviting there, yeah, ye spot Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Everybody loves it.
Speaker 15: Every every single person I've talked to who's been there,
Speaker 15: they're just blown away.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 15: They come in they're just like, I don't believe how
Speaker 15: incredible this is. And you can tell that, you know,
Speaker 15: Andrea and ellenor just really care about the scene. I
Speaker 15: really want to make everybody feel part of it, whether
Speaker 15: you're in a band performing or you're an audience member.
Speaker 11: You know, it's just there.
Speaker 14: You know, it's just a good vibe all around.
Speaker 11: Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 13: Yeah, make sure it's loud, impeccable sound yep, an atmosphere
Speaker 13: and that community of people that are there. I mean
Speaker 13: it's always just been everybody has always because you you
Speaker 13: are a smaller group. So like when you have the
Speaker 13: smaller group of people that people have to bump into
Speaker 13: each other. It stirs conversations, people make new friends.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 13: So yeah, that's what makes it like fun and inviting.
Speaker 11: Well, it's kind of a big part of the mission too, right, yeah,
Speaker 11: you know of can you talk a little bit about
Speaker 11: that too, because you know, you mentioned community, which is
Speaker 11: an important word when you're talking about a place like that,
Speaker 11: because it's not you know, obviously a sniotypical venue, you know,
Speaker 11: and it's not for people who don't know. It's not
Speaker 11: a bar, it's not you know, it's uh, I mean
Speaker 11: what how do you describe it to people?
Speaker 12: Private music club? Yeah, it's a private music club.
Speaker 13: It's like for people who really want music, they don't
Speaker 13: want to go to a place that's just like the
Speaker 13: bar vibe, right, you know, this is not a place
Speaker 13: for the bar vibe. This is a place to have
Speaker 13: that experience, like you can get comfortable, you can sit
Speaker 13: on a couch, you can get right up and be
Speaker 13: right there with the band, you know, ye bring your
Speaker 13: own drinks, so it makes it so much more cost effective,
Speaker 13: and at the same time, the.
Speaker 12: Cover pays the bands.
Speaker 13: You know, we're not a bar trying to get people
Speaker 13: to come in and feed our business by having bands play.
Speaker 13: We are about the bands and showing the talent to
Speaker 13: the world and also for them to feel like they
Speaker 13: are able to be rewarded with what they do, whether
Speaker 13: it's you know, monetarily, but mainly it's like, if you're
Speaker 13: a band and you play there, your stage sound is
Speaker 13: mint oh yeah, and so getting your stage sound you
Speaker 13: just play so much better.
Speaker 12: So when people see musicians there, they're seeing.
Speaker 13: Them at like the top of their game because it's
Speaker 13: all encompassing the feeling of that.
Speaker 11: Yeah. Yeah. My favorite night there that the Jenny and
Speaker 11: I have been at was Green Jello.
Speaker 12: Of course.
Speaker 11: It was fun and although I was nervous for you
Speaker 11: guys too, because because the whole night, I just it's
Speaker 11: just how my mind works. The whole night I was thinking,
Speaker 11: I hope nothing gets broken. I really hope nothing gets broken.
Speaker 11: There was so many pool noodles, and apparently something did
Speaker 11: get broken, but it wasn't anything. Anybody was worried about.
Speaker 14: I guess, yeah, just an artifact, but that was a
Speaker 14: lot of fun.
Speaker 11: What are kind of the criteria for, like, because it
Speaker 11: seems like you've had quite a few different different kinds
Speaker 11: of of artists play there, Like, it's been a wide
Speaker 11: variety of artists. It's not in other words, it's not
Speaker 11: just all it's not just all metal, it's not just
Speaker 11: all hard rocks.
Speaker 12: That's gonna probably change though.
Speaker 13: Really yeah, next year, moving forward, I think we're gonna
Speaker 13: go because fortunately, like the things and that was the
Speaker 13: whole thing, is the thing that we wanted to do
Speaker 13: was just fill that hole that was happening in our
Speaker 13: local community of like places to go to see original
Speaker 13: music and see good original music, and everything has been
Speaker 13: so shut down still or dialed back that people just
Speaker 13: are not going out to shows as much. But now
Speaker 13: things are kind of coming back, and we've inspired a
Speaker 13: couple of other places in town to actually start doing
Speaker 13: shows there, So we're gonna start hosting some of them
Speaker 13: outside of our place.
Speaker 11: Oh excellent, so excellent.
Speaker 12: We have a couple of.
Speaker 13: Plays like The Spot and kettle Head over there in
Speaker 13: Nashville are like focusing more on like having good equipment
Speaker 13: and really providing a better experience music listening experience good.
Speaker 13: So we're kind of like, it's nice to see that
Speaker 13: start happening. But the thing is is, like, you know,
Speaker 13: a main street venue is going to be less inclined
Speaker 13: to do metal and darker rock, right, So now that
Speaker 13: we have those other places out there, we can all
Speaker 13: the musicians that have been looking for and where we've
Speaker 13: been hosting that void can now go out there to
Speaker 13: the general public a little bit easier. But we want
Speaker 13: to continue like staying into like the dark and heavy
Speaker 13: and so we're going to kind of keep it that
Speaker 13: but focus our attention a little bit more into that
Speaker 13: genre for the places that are missing in the public realm.
Speaker 11: Interesting. Yeah, yeah, no, I think that's great. That's very exciting. Well,
Speaker 11: I think we should play So we're gonna play another
Speaker 11: Dad Harrison track and we're gonna play one three nine.
Speaker 11: But tell us about this What should we know about
Speaker 11: this song? Because this is an older one, right.
Speaker 15: This is a much older one from when we used
Speaker 15: to practice at the Morgue over here, you know, Morgan's
Speaker 15: and and we were practicing in this tiny room, like
Speaker 15: one of the smallest rooms you could possibly be in
Speaker 15: this was this is when we were a three piece,
Speaker 15: you know, so long ago, and it was so small.
Speaker 15: I'm like I had to stand in front of the
Speaker 15: door to perform or to you know, to play, yeah,
Speaker 15: and I'd have to like you know, physically not be
Speaker 15: in front of the door so that we could get
Speaker 15: in and out. But we were in room one thirty nine,
Speaker 15: and I just yeah, and I just had this idea
Speaker 15: because it was early on and we're trying to write
Speaker 15: songs for a first album and songs you know, to
Speaker 15: play out live.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I just had this song.
Speaker 15: You know, like what if I wrote something about this
Speaker 15: room and the music the stuff that comes out of
Speaker 15: this Yeah, And so it just kind of came together
Speaker 15: as a store where it turned into this you know,
Speaker 15: this guy going down like a dark cord or like
Speaker 15: you know, way deep underground, just like someplace where nobody
Speaker 15: is and just in there and you know it's just
Speaker 15: dark as hell, and you know, it comes upon a
Speaker 15: door that's just like like what is this? It's just
Speaker 15: different than everything else. It's just like there's something about it,
Speaker 15: and you know he's like there and he's like checking
Speaker 15: it out, and it's just like you know, it's like
Speaker 15: a portal. It's like dark, it's dark, but there's a
Speaker 15: glow to it. It's hot but it's cold at the
Speaker 15: same time. And then basically he ends up going inside
Speaker 15: this room and then he goes mad, like in the room,
Speaker 15: he can't get out. It's just, you know, all this
Speaker 15: evil stuff is happening.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 15: I was like, I took the idea of us performing
Speaker 15: and then just like you know, it made it a
Speaker 15: lot darker, not about us at all, but yeah, it
Speaker 15: turned out really well.
Speaker 14: And you know, I'm proud of writing that one.
Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure. Nice.
Speaker 12: That one's from the story of mortu ressortis our first album.
Speaker 11: Okay, gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 12: That is the one.
Speaker 11: Then my wrong call, Yes, yes, all right, fantastic. If

Speaker 11: were talking off here about why why you guys wanted
Speaker 11: to play that today?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I would like to tracks to get a little
Speaker 15: airtime and discuss that song.
Speaker 16: That was a one of the harder songs back in
Speaker 16: the day, at least from when I when I was
Speaker 16: first starting off that, Uh, that was like one of
Speaker 16: the the more challenging songs. That and Evil Things too.
Speaker 16: That was a when I was getting into playing. These
Speaker 16: songs like those are like the very challenging songs because
Speaker 16: they're not they're not just uh, regular like rock metal
Speaker 16: songs like yeah, there's a there's crescendos de crescendos, there's arts,
Speaker 16: there's stops, there's goes.
Speaker 11: And like, yeah, there's a lot of dynamics to it.
Speaker 16: Back then I did I didn't have that mindset, I
Speaker 16: guess really I wasn't. I was more like an old
Speaker 16: kid at least getting into like just getting into regular
Speaker 16: punk again. And yeah, uh like even back then, like
Speaker 16: I wasn't really like a big Typo fan. Back then
Speaker 16: I liked them, but I wasn't a huge fan. But
Speaker 16: now that I've grown accustomed to like how Drey used
Speaker 16: to play and how these guys jam, well yeah that
Speaker 16: like I've I've had to not only like make my
Speaker 16: drumming better, but also like my musicianship, my composition because
Speaker 16: these guys don't think the same way as like oh
Speaker 16: ab ab here you go. There's many different like nuances
Speaker 16: that they do on purpose. So with one three nine,
Speaker 16: it was very you know, step by step, Like it
Speaker 16: wasn't good when I did it the first first time,
Speaker 16: wasn't good. These guys have allowed me to make myself
Speaker 16: better and put my own stamp on it. Eventually, Like
Speaker 16: the first like year, year, maybe two years, I was
Speaker 16: like meticulously just playing what what what what?
Speaker 18: Dra would play.
Speaker 16: But after after a while I was kind of like,
Speaker 16: all right, well I could do this or do this,
Speaker 16: but I still play to the same you know, idea,
Speaker 16: the same vibe as it is. I don't I don't
Speaker 16: like go too much out of the realm of it.
Speaker 16: And that goes with all the songs too, So like
Speaker 16: whatever I try to do, I try to do in
Speaker 16: earnest to what you did first, and then like try
Speaker 16: to like all right, maybe I can punch in here
Speaker 16: or yeah, you know, Meldon.
Speaker 13: Will differently we give a little of your own flavor.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, well and that.
Speaker 17: I think it was driven a lot by what we
Speaker 17: would choose to play live too write. So a song
Speaker 17: like one thirty nine is a longer song. We've really
Speaker 17: only mostly recently started to bring it out and play
Speaker 17: it live, so it was really never prioritized. But when
Speaker 17: we wrote our new album None for All, that is
Speaker 17: where Thraxel really really shines, because those are songs he
Speaker 17: took part in a writing. Yeah, right, in the creation process.
Speaker 17: There may have been one or two that were previous
Speaker 17: carryovers that we didn't necessarily record, but that is where
Speaker 17: first it was him learning everything. This is what we've
Speaker 17: recorded so far so you can play it live, and
Speaker 17: then with none for all, it was like, Okay, now
Speaker 17: you get to put your creative touch into defining like
Speaker 17: what these songs are, yeah, from the rhythm standpoint.
Speaker 16: Actually, with even the early concepts, it kind of has
Speaker 16: a story to it too, because doom Train was the
Speaker 16: first one that I was like incorporated into because, like,
Speaker 16: as you said, some of the other songs were already
Speaker 16: like there already, but like you guys didn't do anything
Speaker 16: with doom Train was like an organic song that just
Speaker 16: happened out of not out of nowhere, but it just random.
Speaker 18: So like I think that was the.
Speaker 16: My third gig I had with these guys up in
Speaker 16: northern Maine somewhere for Doom Days. It was like three
Speaker 16: days of like just the most awesome doom rock and
Speaker 16: metal but also like one of the some of the
Speaker 16: most like caring people to a lot a lot of
Speaker 16: good people. Yeah, But like one morning me and Jason
Speaker 16: were just like just waking up trying to have coffee,
Speaker 16: and like there was a a train offset from the
Speaker 16: property and coming in, but it was making it like
Speaker 16: a certain uh beat just naturally happen and me and
Speaker 16: him were like, man, we should probably make a song
Speaker 16: about that, and then like like we really thought everything
Speaker 16: about it, Like we didn't want to just make it
Speaker 16: a bam bam, here's a song. He really wanted to
Speaker 16: have something to present. It took it took us what
Speaker 16: two years to make that make that song fully into fruition,
Speaker 16: between jamming it, uh, creating the different platforms that it
Speaker 16: would it would jump up to the lyrics of itself.
Speaker 16: And you know, that creativity that I didn't think would
Speaker 16: like not even just come from me, but like organically
Speaker 16: from all of us, was like a very unique experience
Speaker 16: I didn't have up until that point. That that kind
Speaker 16: of like the precursor of the of that album, because
Speaker 16: there's a lot that goes into that album. There's a
Speaker 16: lot of things that you can take from it. Sure,
Speaker 16: a lot of dissonance, but there's a lot of like
Speaker 16: good stuff that happens, and it kind of wraps up
Speaker 16: at the end and yeah, anything you really wanted.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's actually another song that I personally
Speaker 15: put the lyrics to. I'm not the primary songwriter, but
Speaker 15: you know, Sean writes songs on re Light writes songs too,
Speaker 15: so I'm just one of the pieces, but that particular
Speaker 15: one I kind of took the helmet. I was like, okay,
Speaker 15: doom train, we'll call it doom train. And then I
Speaker 15: have to think, well, what is a doom train? And
Speaker 15: I kind of went from there, and you know, it's like,
Speaker 15: on the surface, it's just about this train that rolls
Speaker 15: through like and just causes destruction and devastation everywhere it goes,
Speaker 15: just in its wake. Now to me, you know, whether
Speaker 15: anyone out there believes this or not, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 15: But you know, for me, it was more about climate
Speaker 15: change is what the doom train became. So it's like
Speaker 15: it's off in the distance, it doesn't really mean anything.
Speaker 15: Most people dismiss it, and but then it, you know,
Speaker 15: it rolls through and it's like, oh, here it is.
Speaker 15: You know, this thing is upon us now and that's
Speaker 15: and it's just like everything behind it is destructive and
Speaker 15: you know what have you. So that's where lyrically that
Speaker 15: came from. But yeah, to Thracks' point, musically, organically it
Speaker 15: just kind of came together. It's like, okay, let's start
Speaker 15: slow where the lyrics are slow and it's like in
Speaker 15: the distance, and then it picks up and it you know,
Speaker 15: it ramps up and turns on like a metal song.
Speaker 15: And then by the end when all the destructions come
Speaker 15: and it's just going full boares, going off the rails,
Speaker 15: it's just you know, here we go and then it
Speaker 15: just moves on to the next town.
Speaker 11: Yeah, oh no, I like that. Wow, that's great. Let's
Speaker 11: see how much time. I want to make sure we
Speaker 11: get so before we run out of time, I want
Speaker 11: to make sure we talk about tonight again. Tonight and
Speaker 11: the twenty fifth, but tonight first.
Speaker 12: Saturday Saturday Night.
Speaker 13: Saturday Saturday, come to Terminus Underground for a shadow Lounge
Speaker 13: golf dance night where you can come and pick up
Speaker 13: your free CD Dead Hairson.
Speaker 14: Tell people where it is. They don't know the address one.
Speaker 13: Four Haynes Street, nashaua, New Hampshire, and uh yeah, you're
Speaker 13: gonna have some fun trying to find the place.
Speaker 12: It's a uh, it's definitely.
Speaker 13: Google Maps will send you on a little uh chase
Speaker 13: and you'll be figuring out where the heck you're going.
Speaker 12: You're like, is this the end of the building.
Speaker 13: And if you're at the place and you don't see
Speaker 13: a bunch of cars parked in front. If you don't
Speaker 13: see a big sign that says Predium packaging up on
Speaker 13: the building, you're at the wrong end of the building.
Speaker 18: Now you're an actual terminus, and you might possibly and
Speaker 18: then oh.
Speaker 13: I'm true old terminous. I'm trying to see Oh oh, look,
Speaker 13: we talked about that, did it. You know what, nobody's
Speaker 13: gonna hear it. Nobody's gonna hear my mistake.
Speaker 11: Well, they'll hear it on the podcast for a mistake,
Speaker 11: it's a mistake.
Speaker 13: But yeah, I mean Google will try and send you
Speaker 13: around the block and put you at the wrong end
Speaker 13: of the building. Sometimes it'll put people right at the
Speaker 13: front door, and then other times it won't. And I
Speaker 13: discovered why because if you look at the map itself,
Speaker 13: if not the satellite view, but you look at like
Speaker 13: the topographical kind of map of the roads of the
Speaker 13: drawn out Yeah, it doesn't show our driveway connecting with
Speaker 13: Hain Street. There's like a dead spot. Oh and I
Speaker 13: think Google is seeing that dead spot and sends them
Speaker 13: down the other connecting roads.
Speaker 11: The map it is hit or missed though, because for
Speaker 11: some reason I seem to remember the first time Jenny
Speaker 11: and I went there, it did it worked like it
Speaker 11: took us straight there. It brought us straight there. But
Speaker 11: but maybe it wasn't the first time. Maybe it was
Speaker 11: the second time. Maybe the first time we had to
Speaker 11: look for it. I don't know, but I feel like
Speaker 11: there was a time where it actually did bring us
Speaker 11: straight there. But who knows.
Speaker 13: So just remember when you're going down Haynes Street, you
Speaker 13: go past the big ball fields on your left and
Speaker 13: you start going down the hill, keep going straight, do
Speaker 13: not turn with the road it turns into another road. Yeah,
Speaker 13: going straight, you'll see a big brick building straight in
Speaker 13: front of you.
Speaker 12: And that's the side that we're on.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, outstanding.
Speaker 16: It's an uber driver's nightmare. Oh I can imagine, it's
Speaker 16: an over driver's nightmare.
Speaker 11: I can I can imagine, no doubt, no doubt. So
Speaker 11: that what time does that start tonight?
Speaker 13: I believe seven o'clock, doors seventh. Yeah, we're gonna just
Speaker 13: like h and it's just going to be a night
Speaker 13: of fun Cothy dance music and YEP, partying it up.
Speaker 11: And they get a free CD if they mentioned that
Speaker 11: they heard the show absolutely outstanding, outstanding, And then what's
Speaker 11: coming up the twenty fifth?
Speaker 13: Twenty fifth is our Halloween show also Terminus Underground, which
Speaker 13: you would be able to catch.
Speaker 12: Somebody say all the names again, my brain is.
Speaker 18: Ethnic realm witch Trot yes, and.
Speaker 12: Psycho Psychomic.
Speaker 11: Oh oh psychomantheum, okay, okay, yeah, witch Trot. It's funny,
Speaker 11: you know they were on the show like Jues. It
Speaker 11: must have been three years ago now, but I but
Speaker 11: I still have the shirt. And I was wearing the
Speaker 11: shirt one day and Jenny and I were doing our
Speaker 11: grocery shopping at Market Basket and Bedford and somebody stopped
Speaker 11: me and said, hey, witch Trot. Somebody knew the band,
Speaker 11: and I was very excited to see me wearing the shirt.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 15: I actually have a little funny story similar to that.
Speaker 15: So a few weeks ago, my sister was visiting from
Speaker 15: Colorado and I was with the family and we went
Speaker 15: out to Parker's Maple Barn as some people probably know
Speaker 15: out in Mason, and you know, I come home and
Speaker 15: you know, I'm just like whatever, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 15: you know, chat from the band, you know what's going on,
Speaker 15: And Thrax had a picture.
Speaker 14: Of my back at Parker's and I just like huh.
Speaker 15: It was like kind of did not really compute, and
Speaker 15: it turned out like one of his friends saw me,
Speaker 15: and I don't know if if they knew it was
Speaker 15: me or if they just thought it was a fan,
Speaker 15: but they saw Dead Harrison on the back of my shirt,
Speaker 15: which is why it says dead Harrison on my shirt,
Speaker 15: so people see it. And it was just kind of
Speaker 15: this this funny thing that's like wow, it's like, you know,
Speaker 15: I haven't been here in like a couple of years.
Speaker 15: I'm here and this other guy at the exact same time,
Speaker 15: and he recognized his shirt friends with Racks and like
Speaker 15: sends him the picture. So so your point with the
Speaker 15: witch Trot shirt, it was like one of those things
Speaker 15: that I just recognized. Yeah, you just ever know, You
Speaker 15: just never know, That's what and that's why we wear
Speaker 15: these shirts.
Speaker 11: Yes, Yes.
Speaker 16: Shout out to Don Richardson for being at Parkers at
Speaker 16: the exact same time.
Speaker 18: So he's also like a recorder producer.
Speaker 11: And I've heard the name.
Speaker 16: Don Richardson has shout outs to Midlife Crisis Production Productions,
Speaker 16: Okay studios.
Speaker 18: He has his own recording studio in his house.
Speaker 11: Oh okay, very cool, very cool. Where should people go
Speaker 11: online to keep up with everything Dad Harrison is doing.
Speaker 17: So they should go to our website, Dad Harrison dot com.
Speaker 17: Also our Facebook page gets a ton of updates on there,
Speaker 17: and then you can listen to us. We're on Spotify,
Speaker 17: you know, We're on Pandora, most streaming platforms, iTunes, and
Speaker 17: then we have physical copies of discs, mostly just of
Speaker 17: the new one. You know, if you if you come
Speaker 17: see us in person, we have a bunch of copies
Speaker 17: of the new one. And I do want to talk
Speaker 17: a little bit about the new album. Yeah, yeah, absolutely
Speaker 17: none for all.
Speaker 12: So that's that's.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 17: We recorded that twenty fourteen. Uh, this was done at
Speaker 17: Blackheart Sound in Manchester.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, that's a name that comes up a lot
Speaker 11: on the show.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yeah, So definitely this was like the probably the most
Speaker 17: that we've put into for an album. Okay, but both
Speaker 17: financially and just I think with preparation of writing new
Speaker 17: material for an album, making sure we were super sharp
Speaker 17: with it, and then really having a professional experience to
Speaker 17: put it together and have some really good sounding music
Speaker 17: for people to listen to. Not that what we did
Speaker 17: before didn't sound good, but it was more of a
Speaker 17: d d Y type of setup that we had done
Speaker 17: before with our previous stuff, so this was really doing
Speaker 17: the legit studio experience. So we're super proud of that.
Speaker 17: And we talked about doom Train earlier that there's a
Speaker 17: few other songs where we really got to put some
Speaker 17: of our experimentation into play, where you really get kind
Speaker 17: of an auditory journey when you're listening through the song.
Speaker 17: We really kind of spent that time to take care
Speaker 17: and make sure everything flowed together well, right, Yeah, And
Speaker 17: we had that creative license to do that there with
Speaker 17: a really good recording engineer and mastering Eric amazing.
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely everything he does is great and well in
Speaker 11: a moment, so we're gonna time. Time goes quick, but
Speaker 11: in a moment, we're gonna wrap up with Terror Grinder
Speaker 11: and anything we should know about that specifically other than
Speaker 11: my personal favorite sounds like it's a favorite of a
Speaker 11: lot of people.
Speaker 17: Yeah, And I actually wrote that song quite a few
Speaker 17: years back, but we never really materialized it into kind
Speaker 17: of the heavy song that it was. It was when
Speaker 17: we kind of just played with at first, probably a
Speaker 17: good I don't know, five or six years ago, yeah,
Speaker 17: maybe even longer. And and we for this one, we
Speaker 17: really put it together, made sure we had some turn
Speaker 17: into kind of this heavy song and it's sort of
Speaker 17: about this this Terror Grinder, this big sort of hard
Speaker 17: to describe but massive force, just kind of going through
Speaker 17: and destroying everything in its wake. And you can probably
Speaker 17: draw different analogies too. Is this something physical? Is this
Speaker 17: something like with the world around us right now?
Speaker 12: Stuff like that. I'll leave that for the listener decide
Speaker 12: how they feel about it.
Speaker 17: But it more is just it's a cool tune as
Speaker 17: well to listen to and kind of go you know oo,
Speaker 17: you know, you kind of go around with it, and
Speaker 17: we have a good time with it live, like getting
Speaker 17: people to get involved with it and stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 17: that's why I think it's it's a favorite because people
Speaker 17: like singing along with songs and you know, yeah, going
Speaker 17: along with it.
Speaker 11: So yeah, absolutely, no, great great track. Well, Dead Harrison,
