Yesterday we told you that we’re sponsoring an AWESOME tour this winter with a four band bill, and while we can’t tell you all the bands on the bill just yet, we can tease that info out for you. So every day for the rest of this week, we’ll be posting an interview with a member of each band on the bill, featuring questions designed to help you guess who they are without spoiling the surprise. Then, this Monday, October 12, we’ll reveal the complete line-up for the tour!
As many of you successfully guessed yesterday, the first band on the bill is Mutiny Within (pictured above). We’ve seen this young band several times in the past couple of years, and there’s little doubt in our minds that they are going to be really, really big. Their debut album drops next year on Roadrunner, and we’re insanely excited to have them on this tour!
After the jump, check out the interview with a member of the second band on the bill. See if you can guess who it is just based on his or her answers!!!
Where is your band from?
Virginia, kind of.
Including yourself, how many members are there in your band?
Four.
How many words are in your band’s moniker?
One.
How many albums have you released? How many years has it been since your band’s debut album?
Four, and the first album came out five years ago.
How many members of your original line-up remain? And by “original,” we mean musicians who were on an album people have heard of. No one cares about that dude who was on your demo that one time.
Two.
To which label are you currently signed?
Nuclear Blast Records.
Were you or any other members of your band ever in another well-known band? (If so, please don’t say which band or bands… that would spoil the fun.)
One of us was in Scarlet at one time.
How would you describe your band’s particular brand of metal?
Metal, if you must ask.
Does your band have male members, female members, or some mix thereof?
All man-meat here.
Does your band utilize clean vocals, screaming, or some mix thereof?
All screaming, the vocalist is tone deaf.
How many guitar players in your band?
Two.
Does your band have a drummer?
Yes.
Does your band have a bassist?
Yes.
Does your band have a keyboardist?
No.
Thanks for playing along, mystery guest. Please tell us one another random fact of your choosing that might help our readers guess who you are.
We once covered a Depeche Mode song.
Alright, MetalSucks Maniacs… start yer guessin’!
-AR & VN
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. 4 members.
Arsis!
Arsis!! :D I guessed both right :D
Nahh its not arsis because they dont have a bassist
Things that are a plus that it could be Arsis (and hopefully is, I really want to see them again, I hope there’s a Sacramento date)
1) Being from Virginia
2) Four member band, although currently without a bassist according to the wikipedia (bring back Noah Martin!)
3) They did cover ‘The Things You Said’ by Depeche Mode on United In Regret (I also saw them when they were touring for this cd).
4) Being signed to Nuclear Blast.
5) Having two original members (James Malone and Mike van dyne)
I fucking hope its Arsis.
God damn Kevin are you a dumb mother fucker. Did it ever occur to you that the band since hired a bassist? Arsis is doing a European tour in like a month, so no fucking shit they have a full lineup by now. Jesus, your stupidity makes me sick.
Let him know how you really feel…
I will go to this tour, now, for sure
yup same here dude
Also, Arsis has only released three albums
They could be counting Diamond For Disease.
its GWAR!!!
Gwar has six members (musically), and their latest came out on Metal Blade.
I would go for Gwar, is it too late to add Gwar to the bill?
Plus GWAR has about 11,000 albums (including other universes). And they will already be touring
* A Celebration of Guilt (2004)
* A Diamond for Disease (EP, 2005)
* United in Regret (2006)
* We Are the Nightmare (2008)
Celebration of Guilt, 2004, 5 years ago.
The Depeche Mode cover comment gave it away.
yep
i saw mutiny within last year at the cmj metal showcase. they sucked ass
I saw them last night. Totally generic – I wanted them out of my ears. Luckily, Cattle Decaptitation was next to clean up the stage.
Well from the evidence and I’m sure they’ve found a bassist by now, I’m thinking it’s Arsis also. Which would make this tour great!
oh. my fucking. GOD. Please let it be Arsis!!! I’ve seen these fuckers live a buncha times, they steal the show every time!!! We Are the Nightmare is one of my favorite albums in the last 10 years (Strapping Young Lad albums not included!)
If Arsis is the second SUPPORT slot, think of who the first will be… and who the headliner will be… this might be an amazing tour.
I really hope it’s Arsis… cuz they own… and Mutiny Within sucks… hard.
And did it say if they were announcing the bands in line-up order? Cuz if so, that means there will be two more bands bigger (and maybe better) than Arsis.
That would be fucking nuts.
If Arsis IS on the bill…this tour may shape up to be pretty awesome. And I’m guessing this tour WILL be coming to NYC…
DARN THAT’S AWESOME.
my thoughts exactly
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! ARSIS! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! ARSIS! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! ARSIS! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! ARSIS!
I’m really hoping this tour comes to Detroit. I’ve only been able to see them once. The the majority of times they were scheduled to perfomr something happened and they would have to cancel their gig. That or they had tours that would skip us.
mutiny within and arsis im diggin this so far, no more cock teasing!!!
Metallica. Is it Metallica? Come on, it’s Metallica, isn’t it?
they do have a problem with keeping bassists.
It has to be Arsis. Just look at the NB roster. Most of the bands aren’t even form the US! After you take out the foreigners and see which one had a 2004 debut…fuckin’ ARSIS!!!
Im a shitty guesser, but this little guessing game is a riot!
holy shit i wish i forgot to read this site this week because im dying to know….
and im sure they are going in order with the releases.
The only band it could be is Arsis, only band on Nuclear Blast with 4 members from Virginia.
Honestly, you’ve got to be a dumb motherfucker to not think this is Arsis. Really… I mean didn’t you dumbasses think for a second that they’ve since hired a new bassist and that he considers the EP as part of their discography? Kill yourselves, retards, so we can make the species stronger.
Really guys, if those two bands are on tour together, there don’t need to be any other bands on that tour.
It’s definitely Arsis. Virginia, Depeche Mode (”The Things You Said” at that), A Celebration of Guilt being released 5 years ago, Nuclear Blast, MICHAEL VAN DYME REJOINED (the band was originally a 2 piece), if that’s not a dead giveaway, what is?
Anyways, nice to hear that Arsis is gonna be on the tour.
Arsis?
Count me fucking in. They could have Killswitch Engage headline this and I’d still go.
Slayer.
Could this be the Behemoth, Devildriver, Arsis, Mutiny Within tour?
…well way to put a damper on everything, god damnit.
nah, that tour is with scar symmetry, not mutiny within
This tour sucks.
just checked out this, arsis band…. not bad! while i have grown tired of horrid vocals, these guys do manage to make it sound neat.
if they are on the tour and they show up in detroit, i’d check it out.
even if it is arsis theyll eventually drop off it anyway for SOME reason.
Never heard of Arsis, but gonna check ‘em out now.
Arsis.
So far that tour is not looking awesome at all.
Take it this tour isn’t coming to the UK? :(
Arsis. I WILL not be missing this.
Bring this concert to Indy. We never get any good metal concerts. Or really any metal concerts.
Sounded kind of like Lamb Of God… from Virginia, tone-deaf vocalist, all added up… but they said four members, so I guess not. Never been able to get into Arsis – what’s a good song of theirs?
Elegant and Perverse, Seven Whispers Fell Silent, Maddening Disdain, Worship Depraved, The Promise Of Never, Return, Roses On White Lace, The Cold Resistance, Shattering The Spell, Overthrown
can’t go wrong with the celebration of guilt cd though.
Pretty much anything, I like the opening few songs from A Celebration of Guilt and “We Are The Nightmare” and “Servants to the Night” from We Are The Nightmare the most, I think. You should just go buy all of their albums, really. A great investment.
DUMBASSES. It’s not Arsis. They’re touring in Europe.
