Are you at all influenced by other drum machine wielding bands such as Agoraphobic Nosebleed or Dataclast?

BD: Oh hell yes! I am a huge Agoraphobic Nosebleed fan. €œAgorapocalypseâ€?

Was my favorite album of 2009! I’ve always liked AnB, but that cd just propelled them to an entirely new level. I’ve heard some Dataclast and enjoyed them but I am not as familiar with them as AnB.

I should change that! Of course I’m also a huge Godflesh fan. I also enjoy a lot of electronic, drum and bass, EBM, and industrial music, all of which revolve heavily around electronic drums.

JH: What made you decide to include the “drum solo� On “Icosahedron� BD: I love the atmosphere that the drum machine creates.

It has an inhuman coldness, which further enhances the lyrical concepts of “Virion. €? Because of this I wanted to put the drums in the spotlight for a moment.

Without “Icosahedron� I do not feel that “Virion� Would be complete or effective in its presentation.

JH: In the album liner notes you thank Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury. How did these author’s works influence The Sequence of Prime? BD: If I had to ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
