[Db] Welcome to the My James Rock Show.
Right, [Bb] it's Dan on My James Rock Show.
It's the last day of Bloodstock.
It's [D] actually my first interview of the entire festival,
and I've chosen to interview this fella who's going to introduce himself.
Hello, my name's Chris.
I play in [Abm] Winterfelleth.
And what do you play in Winterfelleth?
I play the guitar and I sing, if [F] you can call screaming singing.
You vocalise.
I vocalise, yeah.
We sing and we [Bb] scream, so, you know, I [Abm] predominantly do that.
Excellent.
And [Am] reliable sources inform me that you performed yesterday.
That's [Eb] correct, yeah.
We played on the Ronnie James [Bb] Dio stage, which was great for the band.
Yeah, it's our first time playing that stage at this festival.
Excellent, so you've worked your way up to it.
I think we have, yeah.
We've been a band for [G] ten years.
It's about our ten year anniversary now as a band.
[E] We've played the festival several times before.
We've [G] always played the [D] Sophie stage and had really great reactions on there.
So, you know, five or [E] six albums down the road now.
It was the right time, I think, for us [D] to kind of jump up and play to a slightly bigger audience
and take to a bigger stage.
Well, that's the great thing [E] about Bloodstock, is it is one that rewards [D] tenured, hardworking bands
such as Sons of the [C] Desire, you do end up going up the stages.
[D] I think so, yeah.
So it's really nice to hear that you've done that yourself.
Yeah, [G] thank you.
Yeah, I think it's really [Eb] good.
I mean, Bloodstock is one of those festivals, [B] to my mind anyway,
that are really important in giving younger bands a platform, you know.
[Ab] Oh, yeah, for sure.
Don't get me wrong, I think other festivals do, but [G] nowhere near as kind of intense.
You think about all the [Cm] metal, the massive stuff they do, all the New [Db] Blood stage,
and you know, I'm not saying I watched every band or something,
but you know that they've [G] all got the chance to have a great platform to play their music.
Exactly.
And people to find them out.
They've got a layout where they put the New Blood stage next to the main one,
so there [D] is that pick up between the two stages, which is a planned thing.
They want to try and get as many people driven into the New Blood stage as possible.
It's quite clear that they care about metal.
Exactly.
It's not just a money festival, it's a development festival too, which [G] I really respect.
As I said on stage yesterday, the first [D] festival that ever took a chance on us,
playing a big stage, [Em] I think we headlined the Sophie stage in [C] 2010.
Nice.
[D]
And played to a great audience then, and have played a few times since then,
and then it's good enough for them to obviously offer us to play the Ronnie James Dio stage this year.
[G] I think the proof is in the pudding.
We had a really great show, there was a really great audience, the [D] reaction was brilliant,
and I was totally chuffed with it.
[B] I think there's a certain amount of people, if they [Bb] didn't know your name,
by the pure fact that Bloodstock has selected you to be on that stage,
they're [N] going to come along and check you out because you've got the approval of the festival book,
which is a big thing with Bloodstock.
[D] It's a mark of quality I think.
We come to the festival as [C] fans, there are years we aren't playing,
we support [D] what's going on, I come and DJ, we do a bit of business.
It's a very close community in the UK [F] metal scene I think,
and you see everyone [B] that you know, where [D] we are now, everyone's talking about,
that you're familiar with when they come to the festival.
So it's a cool thing, but I think [F] if you don't have that, [Bb] it becomes a bit [Eb] soulless.
And I think it's really great that this is a really big pillar of the [N] extreme metal community,
and there is a platform for bands like [Em] us to have a big slot at festivals.
[Eb] We're not a kind of meat [C] and potatoes, groovy band that you can just sing along to,
it's fairly intense, [F] atmospheric, extreme metal.
I like it.
So we've talked a little bit about Bloodstock,
but what have you [C] guys been up to recently, what have you done in the run up to coming here?
It's been quite a busy year for us actually.
We put a new album out at the end of last year,
which we're [Em] sort of coming to the tail end of doing press and promotion for.
[E] We've recently finished a new album [C] that's going to be coming out next year.
Oh, okay, so you're [E] stacking them up, is that just because [F] you had so much that you had written?
[C] I want to say yes, like we're sort of some [D] really productive band or something,
but the reality is that [Em] we've been writing the new record that we just recorded for about two and a half years.
[G] And actually because of the way things were with us swapping around ownership of our labels and stuff in the background,
it got delayed by quite a long time.
So [Abm] we actually put it out [G] probably, I don't know, a year later than we wanted to,
so it just happens that we're in a sort of natural cycle now.
You can seem like a really productive band.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we kind of got off pace with this one a little bit.
The new one coming out is a 100% acoustic album, like no metal.
Really?
So I'll be intrigued to hear what fans think of that.
I mean, to me it sounds like a band playing acoustic instruments and [C] the same atmosphere, some great emotion and stuff.
[G] I do love anything [N] acoustic from a metal band, because I think there's something to the writing [Db] style
that when you get a band that predominantly plays heavy [Gb] and gets behind an acoustic instrument,
[Ab] it creates a different [E] thing to just an acoustic artist, which I probably would like anyway.
I'm very open-minded when it comes to anything with a guitar.
But no, I'll definitely [Eb] check it out.
Are you doing any sort of same songs done acoustically, or is it just an acoustic?
No, no, it's completely new [Gbm] material actually.
It's come at an interesting time.
Fans of our band will know that we've done one or [E] two songs like that on our albums,
the kind of interlude tracks that are acoustic.
So I don't think it's kind of out of the realms of possibility that we could do something like that.
It'd be incredible.
But we just wanted to really focus on it.
[A] We had some cello players come in, violin players.
I hope it reacts well.
I mean, [Ab] if you follow bands like Oliver and [Db]
Imperium and all those kind of prophecy [A] bands over the years,
it kind of falls within this sort of general area, because it's atmospheric and emotional.
[Em] Even though it's not really heavy, it conveys similar feelings, I think.
I think people [C] enjoy it for what it is.
It's an emotional [B] album.
Really looking forward to hearing it, actually.
So [Dm] we'll end it there, because it sounds like you've got [Gb] a good run of stuff coming up.
Yeah, well, [G] one more thing really.
We've got a tour coming up September-October time.
Oh, [Dm] sick.
So it's our 10-year anniversary this year.
So [G] all our records are coming out again, repressed.
And also we're doing a run in September and October with Fenn in Europe,
who [D] are a great band from the UK.
You may or may not know.
[G] A black metal band from [E] London way.
And then the UK shows are with a band called Weegadude,
[G] who are a couple of guys from Oathbreaker and Amon Ra.
They've got a black metal band.
They're really great, so people should come and check that out.
Excellent.
I'm glad you mentioned that, and I forgot to.
So thank you very much for the reminder.
Flogging it, flogging it.
No, it's good, it's good.
It's been fantastic speaking with you.
That's why I got a bit lost, because we spent so long talking about things I was really enjoying.
But no, it's been lovely.
Thank you very much.
[N] Appreciate you for that.
Cheers.

We had a really great show, there was a really great audience, the [D] reaction was brilliant,
and I was totally chuffed with it.
[B] I think there's a certain amount of people, if they [Bb] didn't know your name,
by the pure fact that Bloodstock has selected you to be on that stage,
they're [N] going to come along and check you out because you've got the approval of the festival book,
which is a big thing with Bloodstock.
_ [D] It's a mark of quality I think.
We come to the festival as [C] fans, there are years we aren't playing,
we support [D] what's going on, I come and DJ, we do a bit of business.
It's a very close community in the UK [F] metal scene I think,
and you see everyone [B] that you know, where [D] we are now, everyone's talking about,
that you're familiar with when they come to the festival.
So it's a cool thing, but I think [F] if you don't have that, [Bb] it becomes a bit [Eb] soulless.
And I think it's really great that this is a really big pillar of the [N] extreme metal community,
and there is a platform for bands like [Em] us to have a big slot at festivals.
[Eb] We're not a kind of meat [C] and potatoes, groovy band that you can just sing along to,
it's fairly intense, [F] atmospheric, extreme metal.
I like it.
So we've talked a little bit about Bloodstock,
but what have you [C] guys been up to recently, what have you done in the run up to coming here?
It's been quite a busy year for us actually.
We put a new album out at the end of last year,
which we're [Em] sort of coming to the tail end of doing press and promotion for.
[E] We've recently finished a new album [C] that's going to be coming out next year.
Oh, okay, so you're [E] stacking them up, is that just because [F] you had so much that you had written?
[C] I want to say yes, like we're sort of some [D] really productive band or something,
but the reality is that [Em] we've been writing the new record that we just recorded for about two and a half years.
[G] And actually because of the way things were with us swapping around ownership of our labels and stuff in the background,
it got delayed by quite a long time.
So [Abm] we actually put it out [G] probably, I don't know, a year later than we wanted to,
so it just happens that we're in a sort of natural cycle now.
You can seem like a really productive band.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we kind of got off pace with this one a little bit.
The new one coming out is a 100% acoustic album, like no metal.
Really?
So I'll be intrigued to hear what fans think of that.
I mean, to me it sounds like a band playing acoustic instruments and [C] the same atmosphere, some great emotion and stuff.
[G] I do love anything [N] acoustic from a metal band, because I think there's something to the writing [Db] style
that when you get a band that predominantly plays heavy [Gb] and gets behind an acoustic instrument,
[Ab] it creates a different [E] thing to just an acoustic artist, which I probably would like anyway.
I'm very open-minded when it comes to anything with a guitar.
But no, I'll definitely [Eb] check it out.
Are you doing any sort of same songs done acoustically, or is it just an acoustic?
No, no, it's completely new [Gbm] material actually.
It's come at an interesting time.
Fans of our band will know that we've done one or [E] two songs like that on our albums,
the kind of interlude tracks that are acoustic.
So I don't think it's kind of out of the realms of possibility that we could do something like that.
It'd be incredible.
But we just wanted to really focus on it.
[A] We had some cello players come in, violin players.
I hope it reacts well.
I mean, [Ab] if you follow bands like Oliver and [Db]
Imperium and all those kind of prophecy [A] bands over the years,
it kind of falls within this sort of general area, because it's atmospheric and emotional.
[Em] Even though it's not really heavy, it conveys similar feelings, I think.
I think people [C] enjoy it for what it is.
It's an emotional [B] album.
Really looking forward to hearing it, actually.
So [Dm] we'll end it there, because it sounds like you've got [Gb] a good run of stuff coming up.
Yeah, well, [G] one more thing really.
We've got a tour coming up September-October time.
Oh, [Dm] sick.
So it's our 10-year anniversary this year.
So [G] all our records are coming out again, repressed.
And also we're doing a run in September and October with Fenn in Europe,
who [D] are a great band from the UK.
You may or may not know.
[G] A black metal band from [E] London way.
And then the UK shows are with a band called Weegadude,
[G] who are a couple of guys from Oathbreaker and Amon Ra.
They've got a black metal band.
They're really great, so people should come and check that out.
Excellent.
I'm glad you mentioned that, and I forgot to.
So thank you very much for the reminder.
Flogging it, flogging it.
No, it's good, it's good.
It's been fantastic speaking with you.
That's why I got a bit lost, because we spent so long talking about things I was really enjoying.
But no, it's been lovely.
Thank you very much.
[N] Appreciate you for that.
Cheers. _ _
