CRY OF THE WOLF INTERVIEW with BILL FISCHER of MEGA COLOSSUS


What is new in the world of MEGA COLOSSUS?

We are doing the Jaws Festival in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.This guy just started it because he loves that movie. Gets a bunch of bands and vendors and then at the end they show the movie. Going to the harder than steel festival in Germany in the fall. We know a guy who owns an online record company. He's a fan who wanted to bring a band over seas.


Take us through the writing process

Someone comes in with a solid structure. Sometimes we start with the lyrics. It's a group effort.

How do you approach Recording?

When we record it is track to track. We map it out and then put it all together. Nowadays with digital recording being what it is, you cannot leave mistakes on your record.





Influences?

Van Halen is the reason why I bought a guitar, Iron Maiden. I soaked it all up as a kid. Boston, Priest. I was a thrash kid. But Boston, we were just talking the other day how there are so many elements to that band.

 Social Media?

I didn't grow up with it. Too old for social media.  You have to use it. It's become integral.Were not great at it.




Strangest thing you have experienced on stage?

Hit in the head with half full beers. Shocked a bunch of times. Shocked right on the teeth once.


MEGA COLOSSUS has captured the spirit and energy of the NWOBHM and combined a sense of punk flair and humor that cooks up an incredibly diverse and powerful sound. They have it all and they want to drink it all! Check out their latest release..hyperglaive available now!!!!

LOVEBITES interview for CRY OF THE WOLF MAGAZINE Answered by miho, bass guitar player 1) Take us through the writing process I always write riffs first and make a basic demo, then start adding arrangement to complete a song. 2) Does everyone contribute Our guitarlist mi-ya and myself, along with another songwriter outside of the band usually write music/melody. Each of us brings own music to the table and each band member arrange their own part to complete the music. As for the lyrics, asami and myself write all of our songs. But each band member is a great song-writer, we are going to play other member’s songs as well in the near future. 3) What are the rehearsals like. Do you have set jam times When we start rehearsing for a tour/show, we first decide how much time we want to/can put into each song and concentrate on bettering the performance one by one. And we play from top to the bottom of our set list for a several times. 4) What makes the perf

Arch / Matheos reveals details for new album, 'Winter Ethereal'; launches video for first single, "Straight and Narrow" In progressive metal circles, the names of guitarist Jim Matheos and vocalist John Arch are spoken with due reverence. With the former having been a driving force in Fates Warning for thirty-five years, and the latter the original front-man of that band, they also have a single seminal work under the Arch / Matheos banner, 2011's Sympathetic Resonance . In 2019, they have reunited to follow that record up with Winter Ethereal , a more stylistically varied and perhaps deeper collection that explores a lot of sonic territory over the course of nine immer
