TM - You did a cover of Kiss god of thunder so that is pretty cool as well.

TY - It was fun, it was just something to get me out of the house. I had been sitting at home for quite some time and that year, in particular, was very rough on me personally, it was like multiple kicks in the groin. Mark called me one day and said come over and jam let's go and do some shows in a couple of bars and I was like yeah alright cool and it was a fun time.

TM - Would you ever do an orchestra show?

ML - Since 'War Eternal' came out in 2014 we started to incorporate Orchestra into some of our songs. We have worked with a range of orchestras and string quartets, on certain songs, but it is not something that we rely heavily on in our music. You know some black metal bands and symphonic bands have this constant symphonic feel and we don't have that. We have it on some tracks here or there, it's more of a taste of the music for us. I don't know if we can pull it off, but then Metallica did it and they never really had any Orchestra it was all just re-imagined for the orchestral arrangement and it was really cool and really interesting. 

TM- If you could have any band play one of your songs what band would it be, what song and in your style or their style? 

​

TE - That is a bunch of questions in one. It's not like, what is your favourite colour or what is your favourite ice cream because doing other interviews and stuff you just start thinking about different stuff. Your not thinking about would I be a band at this period of time or at that period of time just hearing Aerosmith doing ‘House of Pain’ in 1979 would be pretty f****n cool or Aerosmith doing ‘Whipped’ would be pretty cool. Hearing Cheap Trick would be pretty cool, or The Cult doing something. I could just go on there are too many bands that I love. 

TM - If you could have any band play one of your songs, what band would it be, what song, and in your style or their style?

EC - That’s a hard question, my favourite band is AC/DC, that's what made me pick up the guitar when I was a kid and start playing. I don't know if they would do Eclipse very well. Maybe we should have My Chemical Romance, doing an eclipse song like Viva La Victoria.

TM - You have played the other two festivals in Brisbane and Sydney how was that?

Steve "Stevic" MacKay - It was awesome, I did a post about it, the Uncaged Crew and staff were super nice and accommodating, and we had a blast. It was a unique opportunity to witness and it was cool to mingle with different eras and genres of Australian music that normally don't get to see. It was super rewarding and we had a great time, it was really good.

TM - If you could have any band play one of your songs what band would it be and what song would it be? Would it be in your style or their style?

CD - I wouldn't want Mötley Crüe to play one of our songs, that would be weird. I think it would be cool if a band in a completely different genre played our songs, like a pop artist. Like if Taylor Swift played a Crash Dïet song, that would be cool.

TM - You are on Uncaged festival, what can fans expect from your set?

SM - Well I guess the most obvious thing is they can expect to see what it is like When you get a band that has been locked away for two years and finally gets to play back up on stage in front of a crowd. It's one of these things that we are just kind of Looking forward to and enjoying that whole process again for the first time in ages.

TM- Time for our signature question, if you could have any band play one of your songs which band would it be, what song would it be and would it be in your style or their style?

KL- Well there have been some bands already that’s played some older Massacre songs which I think is cool, even Cradle of Filth covered one of our songs originally. That was kind of unique hearing Cradle of Filth doing it. As far as death metal bands, I would like to hear someone like one of the classic Swedish bands like Dismembered or maybe Entombed, just one of the classic Swedish bands, Unleashed would be cool to hear a new Massacre song, unique to hear them do it. I love Swedish Death Metal so any Swedish Death Metal bands or the classics if they want to step up and do a Massacre cover that would be very cool.

TM - What's your favourite memory of watching someone else perform live, can you tell us a story?

KS – The French band Alcest in the UK. They're amazing, we are all big fans of those guys. We finished up our set and went directly over to see them and they accomplish some of the things we do, and you feel like closing your eyes and then getting dragged into a world of melody and ferocity. That's one of the reasons I play music.

CE - My first ever concert I went to was Van Halen with my father.

TM - That’s so cool!

CE - It's when they did a reunion tour, Eddie Van Halen was a big inspiration of mine growing up. It was amazing that my first concert was the guy that made me want to play the guitar, and all the big amps and the huge arena at Nassau Coliseum over by us.

TM - If you could have any band play one of your songs, what band would it be, what song, and in your style or their style?

SL - I would say Slipknot doing our titled track but adding all there extra stuff, the samples and the extra percussion, I would go with that because it would be impossible for Slipknot to do a carnifex song. Obviously it would never happen, but if I had to pick one I would go with that.
 

TM - If you could have any band play one of your songs what band would it be, what song would it be and would it be in your style or their style?

MM - I would like a different style of music to play my song, not jazz because it's done already maybe Stevie Wonder for example playing a song of mine that would be awesome, what song chain of command would be a good one.
