But they'll be back in New Hampshire on October twentieth at Wally's in Hampton Beach. So very happy to be the first ones to spend that this morning here.
Speaker 12: This is Matt Connorton unleashed, as we have entered our number two New Marrow dose on this Saturday morning, October five, twenty twenty four. Jenny is here as well, of course, at the news table that accounted for and joining us alive in studio, we have Dan from the band Horror.
Speaker 6: Hello sir, Hey, it's great to be here, Matt.
Speaker 12: Thank you, Yeah, welcome to the program. Looking forward to playing some of your tunes today and getting to know you a little bit part of why you're here. So today it's kind of a kind of a theme today we're talking to people who are going to be on this big show coming up October nineteenth at Terminus our friends at Terminus in Nashua, New Hampshire. You guys are going to be playing there along with we just had Able Blood here. They're on that show as well. We've got The Gray Curtain coming up in the third hour, also Questing Beasts on that show and the Megans Dead Harrison of course, and that's going to be coming up October nineteenth.
Speaker 12: So it's wonderful to have you here. Tell Us about tell Us about the band, tell Us about Horror.
Speaker 6: So me and my buddy Steve, we started it years ago. It was just a little project we were doing in high school, and as it turned out, people wanted to join. My buddy George started playing the bass for us, and then afterwards his brother Johnny, and we had a couple incarnations of lineups throughout the years, but we finally here settled on our main one now where we're gonna be going out playing shows. And this is actually our record release show at Terminus.
Speaker 12: Oh congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's we've been working hard for years to actually get there. But yeah, yeah, it's it's gonna be an awesome night. Super excited about it.
Speaker 12: Yeah. So it's a full album.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh yeah, full album?
Speaker 12: Okay? And where did you record?
Speaker 6: Well, we recorded uh Blackheart Sound with Eric.
Speaker 12: Okay, Eric Sotter, Yeah, sir, Yeah, we always say we had him on the show a few months ago, and you know his his name. It was great to have him on because his name comes up on the show a lot. Actually, Abel Blood, who was here in the first hour their album. I think Eric ma they didn't record there with him, but he Eric mastered the album, I believe.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but yeah, so, uh, and what went into the decision to do a full album? Because obviously you have options, you know, you can you can do an album, you can do an EP, you can just release singles. Why did you guys decide to do a full album?
Speaker 6: Well, we had so much material at this point, we were like, you know what, screw we might as well just do the whole thing and then drop it. You know, we collaborated with this artist Mexicine t Cardi from he makes insane artwork. Okay, our album cover is actually made in his blood. Crazy stuff really yeah yeah, like he put his blood in the ink. I think so. I have no idea, but I know he made it with his blood, which wow, we thought was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 12: Well, let's play a track, and I think we're gonna move you to a different microphone. For those of you watching on video, that one needs some levitre or something. But here, let's let's play a song. I'm gonna plays. Let's play Oh, let's play Exorcists. I really like this one, and then we'll come back and talk about it. If you're just joining us, we have Dan from the band Horror here with us live in studio, A.

Speaker 14: I says, that'll get the blood pumping.
Speaker 12: That is Exorcist and the band is Horror and we have Dan from Horror here in studio with us. All right, let's see, let's see how this mic is working. How are you doing, Dan? I can't hear you and I don't know why, but uh, let's see go ahead and talk. You are not there, Uh, you're you're on a You're on one of these channels.
Speaker 6: All right, Oh hello, I found you awesome there? All right?
Speaker 12: Yeah, if you're just joining us. We had to switch down to a different mic, but these things happen. But no, that that mic never fails us. Jenny doesn't like it when I say that, because you thinks I'm gonna Jank said, yes you are. But so far, so far, that mike has been phenomenal. So yeah, I love that. I love the time changes, especially the breakdown at the end. Oh, the groove on that is just truly remarkable. And so now you were saying off air while that was playing, So that's just you and Steve?
Speaker 12: Is that the drummer?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you, me and my drummer. We went into Eric's studio. We recorded the whole thing. Steve got the drums down, I did the bass, the guitars, the vocals, and Eric killed it with the production and the master or the mixing. It was absolutely killer. Yeah, but is that how you did the full album or yeah, it is, Okay, it's the entire album.
Speaker 12: So the whole thing is just the two of you. Yeah, oh wow, wow, very cool? Is that a lot of Is that a lot of pressure? Is that, you know, because you're doing I mean, aside from the drums, you're doing everything else. I mean, that's a lot. That's a lot for one guy.
Speaker 6: Well, it's not particularly a lot of pressure. We had a bunch of material for a while now, right, and so we had a lot of time to practice it. So everything that we did was I went into the studio, knew exactly what I needed to do for each part. Yeah, banged it out.
Speaker 12: So in some ways it's easier, right, because you're not dealing with you know, I've played in a lot of bands, but never anything like what you're doing in terms of just you know, two guys going in and doing everything. So not having to deal with multiple schedules and all of that. I mean, I can see where in that sense it's probably a lot easier.
Speaker 6: Actually, yeah, that and you can make it sound exactly how you wanted to.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's great. Now, where does the song Exorcist?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 12: Or were you inspired by the film or the book.
Speaker 6: Or oh absolutely the film. Yeah, I've seen that film like one hundred thousand times as a kid, you know, Oh god, yes, yeah, And well, I mean my band is based around telling horror stories, the horrors of life. Our next album is going to be about a little bit more of a realistic approach. But this album is about, you know, the fantasy side of horror.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, you know a funny thing about The Exorcists. For me, I think it's an incredible film. But I have a list, actually it's a short list, but I have a list of films that I think are just some of the most just incredible theatrical accomplishments of all time that I never want to see again, you know what I mean? And that's how I feel about The Exorcist. I think it's an amazing film, fantastic. I've seen it once and I never want to see it again. Trying to think, what is it? Requiem for a Dream?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 6: Oh god?
Speaker 12: The film? Yeah, that's that's another one that's on my list.
Speaker 6: I saw that one once, so yeah, great film.
Speaker 12: I would recommend it to anybody. I'm never watching it again.
Speaker 12: Who writes the songs? Do you write everything? Or does Steve help you with that?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, Steve does the drums. He'll give me ideas for guitars and solos and whatnot, and and I'll write my parts. But now that we have we two new members. We got our basis Will about a little over a year ago, and dude's been killing it. One of the greatest basses I've ever met in my entire life. You get an awesome guy, awesome musician, and we had just recently within the past like two months, got a new guitar samed Cody Parsons. He also plays with a band called Martial Law. Awesome group, awesome bunch of guys.
Speaker 6: I've known them for a long long time. Yeah, but now that we're all writing together, it sounds totally different, but in the same vein it's really really cool.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Now, why did you bring in these other guys initially for live shows?
Speaker 6: Initially? Yeah, and I wanted to see like how it would go writing with them and everything, And I love it. It's really cool to be able to write with like a group of people, you know, because writing with Steve's awesome, but getting more input, different perspectives, different musical backgrounds from people, it's absolutely killer.
Speaker 12: It's good that you're able to do that and embrace it, because not everyone can. You know, some people are kind of not necessarily selfish, but but you know, some people can't just or it's hard for them to really kind of open that up, right, So it's great that you're able.
Speaker 2: To do that.
Speaker 12: Did before these other guys joined the band, when like, did you ever do any live shows just you and Steve? Did you ever try to hole that off or with Yeah, I don't know how you would even do it, but maybe with backing tracks or something.
Speaker 6: Yeah. We I mean at that point we didn't have the money I mean for like an amplifier at that point, you know, so shows were super far out of our heads. Once we did get our bassist, Johnny years ago, we played a couple of shows. It's usually down like way southern mass Okay, we only played a couple, but yeah, with this new incarnation of Horror. We played one show with a guitarist we're working with for a little bit named Brandon, and I forget where it was exactly, but it went really well. It was an awesome show.
Speaker 6: We met the band Saint Crowley. They they were awesome guys, and uh, is it a really fun time? Yeah?
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah. When these when new people come into the band, I mean I imagine it takes a little bit of time for them to learn everything. I mean, it's you know, it's fairly sophisticate and also too you know, with what you're doing and that song Exorcist is a great example. I mean, you've really got to have your chops because it's time changes and oh sure, you know, just really uh you know, it's it's complex, it's not it's not three chord verse chorus, verus chorus roll.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so i'd imagine, you know, they've they've really gotta spend some time.
Speaker 6: It's funny. It's funny you say that because with the musicians that I have now, it almost took them no time at all.
Speaker 12: That's awesome.
Speaker 6: They sat down, they learned it. It was I was blown away. Yeah, Will learned it really fast. Cody. I mean, he's recording bands, he has his own studio, he's doing all this stuff, and he's still banged out the entire album a month. It was an absolutely killer.
Speaker 12: Oh that's great. Yeah, that's great. Are all the songs? Uh, well, let me ask it this way. Is there a theme to the album? I mean, I mean, you know, you talked about, you know, what what the subject matter is is that is that Is there a story to the album or are they all just kind of about, like like what you described earlier.
Speaker 6: Some songs are just kind of about horror in general, you know, Black Widow. We have about Countess Bathory, Exorcist, about the Exorcist, you know, yea. Then we have songs like Darkness and Agony, which are about depression and really that dark place, you know, that really dark mental place that you get, especially when you feel hopeless, be like everything's falling apart for you. Yeah, and I wanted to take that and put it into music as well as I could. Yeah, so the horrors of life?
Speaker 12: Is that something that you deal with?
Speaker 6: Oh? Absolutely, yeah, you have depression. Mental health issues I think are very very much looked over, underfunded. It's awful.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 12: That's something that we discussed a lot on the show, and we have actually for years because so I'm pretty open about it now. I haven't always been. But I also struggle with depression and uh, you know we who was it? We had somebody on the show. Who do we have on the show last week we were talking about the same thing music could be? Oh no, it was I'm sorry, it was ever Felt. Oh I don't know if you know this band ever Felt there from Illinois. They skyped in, but they they they write a lot about that kind of thing too, and you know, but it's but it's it's also their music is is kind of dark, but it's they have more of a psychedelic metal thing going.
Speaker 12: But we were talking about with Adam Seglich, the singer, about how, you know, he likes the music to be really dark even though the lyrics are actually quite hopeful because his his approach is, you know, you're in this dark tunnel. I want to meet you there. I want to meet you where you are to bring you this message of hope. And he described it as a tunnel and I was like, yeah, I can relate to that. I can relate to all of that.
Speaker 6: That's a lot happier than the way I went.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 12: But like, but you're right though, I mean, these things are not addressed enough, and you know there's a lot of stigma around all of that. So and and another thing we talked about a lot on the show is when you can take these terrible things and and create something with them. So you're taking something negative, but you're creating something positive with it, right, you know, And that's to me, that's the best therapy, right, you know, absolutely, if you can use these things that drag us down, or traumatic events or whatever it is, but then create with that.
Speaker 12: Yes, that's the best, the best way to deal with it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. You know, I want to touch upon some more themes in this upcoming album to uh, it's very much so along those lines, like I said, string less away from the like you know, vampireschools, goblins type stuff, more into the like what people deal with and what's going on, and not not in so much of a political sense, but more just yeah, in everyday life type of thing, you know.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, well we should play another track from the album. Do you have a Is there one that you're pushing as kind of a single.
Speaker 6: Well, our first single was Necromancer. I think the next, I mean, the best one to play. I'd say, let's hear black Widow.
Speaker 12: Black Widow, Okay, any kind of a story behind this one?
Speaker 6: Well, this one's this one's one about Countess Bathory. Huge inspirations from bands like Venom, bands like Macabre and I absolutely love this song. It's one of our heavier ones on the album for sure.
Speaker 12: Okay, all right, cool, all right, get ready it's gonna get even heavier. This is a black Widow. The band is horror.
Speaker 11: Rassw dis I dilate a brays its a jobs.
Speaker 9: Some don't ball help my job? I was, I was warned a doctor. I said, why that job all three times a praise.
Speaker 15: That's jaisings at donight.

Speaker 9: Saying out my job off the blown, I started a blotter. I sided, I shot off the tips off l as too lazy, and.
Speaker 15: There was a lot of joy. Defy light.
Speaker 9: Got ask my mouth fire off.
Speaker 10: This dove.
Speaker 9: Defa lift, ask my house a foul fio.
Speaker 12: That is Black Widow. The band is Horror, and we have Dan from the band Horror here with us a live in studio on the Saturday morning. They're gonna be playing a big show coming up October nineteenth at Terminus in Nashua, New Hampshire, which is an amazing venue. You've you've been there already, right Dan, Oh yeah, yeah. I tell everybody when you walk in the first time. It's like walking into another world it is. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the place is awesome. Yeah, and I practiced there as well with my band. Oh yeah, so it's a pretty easy, uh, pretty easy commute.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Able Blood are our first guest that we had on in an Hour one. They also practiced there. Yeah. No, it's it's a great it's a great location.
Speaker 6: I love that.
Speaker 12: Part of what I really like about your sound is, you know, you can do the It's fast, it's heavy, but but it's also very melodic. Yeah, you know, you can really kind of find the groove in it, because a lot of bands that operate in this particular genre really aren't that melodic, you know what I mean? Right, Yeah, So I think that's really cool, and I assume that's important to you.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 6: It's quite important. We want to be able to have our songs be as heavy as possible but also have that nice melody with it. Yeah, something to be able to pleasantly listen to, right without it just being like grindcore.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you've got some fast fingers too. How old were you when you started playing guitar?
Speaker 6: I was twelve. Yeah, I'm twenty seven now.
Speaker 12: So you started pretty young. Yeah. Yeah. Was it always your goal to be able to play like that, to be able to to play really fast?
Speaker 6: Yes? Ever, since I saw or heard Buckethead on Guitar hero Too, I knew that he would be my favorite. And then I found out about the likes of Paul Gilbert Ingay Mountstein and it just blew up from there. Yeah, looked back.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Was that your first instrument guitar? Yeah?
Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, and then from there you also learned bass obviously.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I taught myself bass. I'm not a very good bassist, but I can play a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. My very first guitar actually won from a Lego sweepstakes. Man. Really yeah, it was a bionical sweepstakes with the all American rejects. I think I was like god, I must have been like eight nine, and I just so happened to win it. It was this junkie Chinese guitar with a Lego sticker slapped on it. No kidding, yep. Then wow, Yeah, Steve sat down with the guitar one day, the cable was poking out, crushed it into the guitar.
Speaker 6: I had to throw it away.
Speaker 12: That's funny. Wow, Now I'm really curious about your vocals because I can't imagine what it must be like to sing that way. Are you able to, like, do you ever get a sore throat? Or did you learn how to do it? Because from what everyone tells me, if you learn how to do it correctly, you won't have any problem. The only problem is not everyone learns how to do it correctly, right.
Speaker 6: See, I never learned how to really do it. I just started doing it until it was comfortable. It used to hurt. Yeah, like years ago. Oh god, my throat would be killing me after now, if I'm not dehydrated, it's fine. Okay, make sure you're hydrated, everybody, Yeah, gotta you can really mess up your throat, But not when I'm doing anything like that, it's it just comes out really clean. It doesn't hurt at all.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's good. What about when you're playing live, do you ever run into a problem where you know, because you mentioned hydration and obviously if you're playing in a hot room, you know that that might be an issue. Does that ever? Uh?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's happened to me before I was playing with this, a brutal death metal band called Infected God. For a while okay, And there was this one time. It was it was at a it was at a marijuana farm, right, And I remember getting up on stage and my throat was so dry that I was talking like this, and I get up and I was just barking into the microphone. I couldn't do anything. I was like, Oh, I know this sounds terrible, but we gotta do it.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Oh wow, do your fingers get tired? Plan like that?
Speaker 6: Oh god, no, No, that's good.
Speaker 12: That's good.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I can't imagine what it must be like to play that way. Yeah. None of the bands that I've ever played in really, you know, nothing really super fast. So to me, it's very impressive.
Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate that. I'll spend sometimes eight to ten hours a day, especially at studio days, just playing essentially NonStop.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it takes a lot.
Speaker 12: How many do you guys have more songs that? Obviously you know? I assume you're, as you mentioned earlier, you've got new material planned for the next album and you're writing together. Do you play anything live now that you haven't already put on this album?
Speaker 6: We're planning to. Okay, we got to make sure it sounds pretty good first, Yeah, and then we're gonna be playing it live as we can. Yeah, so I'm only really runs about thirty two minutes long, I believe. Okay, so typically if we're getting like a forty five minute set, we'll be able to play a bunch of songs. Yeah, but that's the idea for now.
Speaker 12: Okay, Okay, Well let's let's play another one. So I'm curious about this song, Compelled to Kill.
Speaker 6: It's compelled to Kill. That one was about Diary of a Serial Killer, which is an insane movie if you've never seen it or sorry, Henry Portrait of a serial Killer. There we go. Amazing movie, absolutely incredible. It follows the whole movie is through his eyes, you know, as opposed to like, you know, the the people running away, you know, the the victims of the movie. It's him. The whole movie's him, and it's twisted. Ye awesome stuff. And the music was heavily heavily inspired by bands like Children About Them and of course macab I love them, they do everything, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but the Children About Him was I was in a huge kick with them for a while and man it Alexi Leo opened my opened my eyes, brought my perspectives to a lot of different stuff. Really in what way, oh the way he does melodies, there's especially like if songs like mask of Sanity and then if you want Peace, Prepare for War. The guitar work and these songs are unparallel. They're amazing, and I wanted to try to emulate something like that, and I'm no Alexi Leo, so it came out different. But yeah, but yeah, this is a song I'm actually really proud of, one of my favorite solos I've ever written.
Speaker 12: Oh, okay, okay, Oh, very curious here of this said, All right, let's give this a spin. If you are just joining us. We have Dan from the band Horror here with us live in studio, and this is called Compelled to Kill.
Speaker 9: Eel. It's hid it alive, its hell in my mind, hurts in my eyes getting it alive. Gave it to my.
Speaker 13: Shop shouting the gel w s you strike to uh?
Speaker 13: Why brother shouting the general, why you wanna tell me?

Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 12: Spelfie made a comment about what we were talking earlier about mental health. She said, facts too much stigma around talking about mental health. Absolutely, absolutely, although not.
Speaker 6: As much as there used to be, which is uh absolutely, which is great.
Speaker 12: It is getting better, it is getting better. Let's see. Eleanor is in the chat room says I want these horror vocals inside my body. That's an interesting way of phrasing that she wants to be able to sing that way, I guess.
Speaker 6: Let's go with that. Yeah, I got to.
Speaker 12: I got to see Eleanor on Tuesday. I went there to meet with her and about some things, and yeah, lots of good things going on, lots of positive things. Very excited, very excited. Oh Spelfie says yeay, the whole Terminus crew in the chat, and Andre said, oh, those vocals will be coursing through everybody molecule at Terminus.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they will. I saw your pa man. That thing looks crazy.
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, Jenny, you wanted to You're gonna tell us.

Terminus is located at one thirty four Haines Street in Nashua. Doors will open at five pm twenty one plus byop. Entry is twenty dollars and includes the Haunted House and the show. So check out all the bands from today live at Terminus Underground on October nineteenth.
Speaker 12: Very good, very good. And if you are listening live on Saturday, of course, coming up in the third hour, we have the Gray Curtain, a couple members joining us. I think and really what they are fascinating, what a unique sound, they ask, will be really looking forward to that. Dan tell us about your live show. I mean, do you do you have any effects or anything or do you guys just play.
Speaker 6: Or I mean typically we just play. We don't really have like a gimmick or anything like that. It's always cool when the venue has like some stuff up, like Terminus is just loaded with crazy stuff like skeletons, spider web, yeasters, mayhem, you know, the whole nine. But yeah, yeah, whenever we play, we typically just wear like what I'm wearing now, T shirt, jeans and just go up there and play.
Speaker 12: I'm having visions of you know, the future, you guys in an arena with a big screen of all kinds of oh yeah, all kinds of terrible things happening you guys.
Speaker 6: That'd be great. We want to take over the world, man, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely. Now, if you gotten to play with any if you had gotten open for any any of the bands, you know you were talking earlier about some of the bands you really love and admire. You have you gotten to any opportunities to play with any of those bands yet or not quite?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've played with some really really cool bands, like, for instance, Permanent Disfigurement was an awesome band I played with with Infected God. Yeah, I had a couple of shows with them, and Vincent Crowley was another one. They were absolutely killer guys. I knew about them prior and they're awesome music. Yeah, but we haven't played too too many shows to be able to actually do that.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But yeah, for what it's worth, all the bands that we've played with, all of our flyers are still up on the Instagram and everything. They're all wonderful bands. There hasn't been a single band we played with where I've disliked. So yeah, you guys are interested, go check them out. Everyone's going to be a killer band.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, excellent.
Speaker 10: What was the.
Speaker 12: Your your logo? Who designed your logo?
Speaker 6: So that's an artist named Alex Ridley. Okay, he's based out of Canada, an old friend of mine. I've known him for probably a decade now, and I asked him like, hey, man, can you just make something like a bones and bloody and just see what you come up with.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: He's like, yeah, dude, whatever, And he sent me that and I was like, oh, yeah, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I was particularly curious about it because what I like about the logo is so a lot of the bands again that are in kind of your genre, they have logos with fonts kind of similar to that, but they are indecipherable to me, right, But your logo, so you've got that cool kind of fun but but you can read it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: See, that's what we wanted to We didn't want it to be like, you know, the back of a computer chair or where you've been laying on it too long, it's all, you know. We didn't want it to be something like that. We wanted people actually read it and know who we were.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, because there's a lot of it. Jeez, I remember UH so years ago. I don't know if you remember Strawberries and then Fye bought it, but you know, the old music store there, and I just remember uh flipping through CDs at work or putting CDs away and and just you know, looking at the covers of some of these UH bands and and just and again and that specific genre, just being like, I don't.
Speaker 6: Know what that says. Yeah, some of them are unbelievable.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, it's it's you know, because I'm also a marketing guy. So from my perspective, it's like, why would you want something that no one can read? But but but that seems to be the thing for a lot of these bands.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't understand it personally, but it looks really cool. So especially seeing that live with the music, it adds a lot of atmosphere. I see why they do it. But as far as marketing goes, he writes, and it ain't.
Speaker 12: Quite Yeah, some of those album covers too, Oh man. Yeah, there's a Cannibal Corpse album cover that still gives me nightmares.
Speaker 6: Yeah, which one?
Speaker 12: I don't remember the game, I've blocked it out, but yeah, probably all probably any of.
Speaker 6: Them, all, any of them. That's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I'm actually not even kidding when I say this. If I had to put Cannibal Corps CDs into the bin, I would try not to look directly at the like I'm actually not kidding. I'm very squeamish about that. But uh no. But anyway, so the point being, though I really like the logo, I think it's cool. Yeah, absolutely, Now, what is kind of the future trajectory for you guys. So obviously, so the nineteenth you mentioned that's the official CD release party, correct it is? And what's what's the name of the album by the way, I don't know if we talked about it.
Speaker 6: It's self titled.
Speaker 12: That's a good way to do it. Yeah, And then so where is that available? Are there physical copies or we.
Speaker 6: Don't have physical copies yet? I mean, okay, we're pretty broke, you know. Yeah, so no physical copies. We're working on getting some merch for this show. Hopefully it shows up in time. But yeah, otherwise that's pretty much where we're at with like that kind of media. As far as like streaming, we are on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube. Definitely check out our YouTube. We're really pumping up those numbers. Cool, good, good, But we're based on any stream platform that you can access.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and.
Speaker 6: We're gonna continue uploading to YouTube videos, shorts, whatever it might be. Okay, just kind of keep everyone updated and have a little fun like maybe some playthrough videos and stuff like that.
Speaker 12: I think right now, that's the most important thing, is well obvious. Well no, actually, let me rephrase that. So being on all the streaming platforms that's the most important thing, and you've got that, sure, But I think after that, YouTube right now is the most important thing.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh, I absolutely agree. Yeah yeah, And I.
Speaker 12: Mean it changes, you know, tomorrow, something completely different important thing, but right now I think it's definitely YouTube. So that's right. So your numbers are growing quickly?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah. In the first two months we got fifteen thousand without advertising.
Speaker 12: It all fantastic.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Good.
Speaker 6: We just set up a little bit of a Google ad campaign. So the last couple of days we've got in like two or three more thousand.
Speaker 12: Okay, excellent. Oh you're on the right track then.
Speaker 6: Well, so excited man, Yeah, yeah, we want to take this as far as we can.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, absolutely, Well you're off to a great start. So that's amazing.
Speaker 6: Appreciate that.
Speaker 12: And yeah, yeah, definitely. So we're approaching the top of the hour, so in the moment we'll play we'll play one more track. Nuke is the other one that you sent. But anything else we should know about where people should go to find you online. Obviously, you know, we talked about the nineteenth but anything else you want to make sure our listeners know about.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So if you had a horror dot band instead of dot com dot band, wikie cool. Yeah, it'll have links to all of our social media's Instagram, Facebook, even stuff like SoundCloud. You know, everything's there, and our full album on YouTube is gonna be the first thing that you see right as you get onto the page. Okay, and I haven't updated it yet, but it's on. We have different tabs like, for instance, shows, and we have merch that you can request when it's available, and yeah, I mean that's the horrid up band is going to be primarily where you can find everything.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but.
Speaker 6: Yeah, as far as outside of that, try to keep updated with our social media is and see where we're at.
Speaker 12: Yeah, excellent, excellent Nuke What should we know about this?
Speaker 6: So Nuke is full fully titled Nuke the World?
Speaker 12: Oh okay.
Speaker 6: It's our commentary on basically taking the position of someone pushing the big red button, you know, just destroying everything, mutually assured destruction, you know. Yeah, it's our take on how much we detest war and how we see the world going right now. The song is a tongue in cheek kind of take on that, okay, and it's our marsh song.
Speaker 12: Oh okay, all right, very good. So we're gonna close out the segment with this, and then at the top of the hour, we're gonna play the new Chasing the Devil track one more time today their brand new single lighted up.
