TM- How did you come up with your video for Nightfall?

 TB- The video was my idea, I asked my friend in Germany who does a lot of videos for other bands. I knew him from another band, we used him because we have shot videos with him before. I asked him to do a very simple video of me and my best friend who's acting I wanted to represent, someone that was depressed and screaming from the inside.



TM- Can you tell us a tour story?

Our first show of the tour was the 2nd show we have ever played. In Italy they have toll booths on their highways and we were waiting in the line and someone hit from behind kept on coming to close to our car so I'll guitarist wanted to jump out of the car and confront, except he didn't end up doing it. 

 

 

TM- ah that sucks! I hope your van was alright. It sucks when accidents happen.

 

TM- What's your favourite memory of watching someone else play live?

TB- In 2010 
i was on a festival and Parkway Drive were on the same lineup. As the guitarist had broken his leg he was playing his guitar while he was in a wheelchair.
