Also, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mr T (the two hardest guys on the planet - along with Pete Steel from Type O Negative - who I don't think any sane person would ever f*ck with). Also, anything that I've successfully been through in my life, this band is my therapy

Longest Time Without Vice: I haven't got a clue, probably about 2 weeks, no wait..... Maybe 3 weeks

Who Our Band Is For: All the true, extreme music fans out there, who haven't lost faith even with all this commercial bullsh*t going around. Also, for all those who've ever been abused or put down for being different and not following the mainstream culture that is forced upon us. Also all my good friends out there and for all the beautiful women who make the world a much better place to live in :-)

Biggest Fear: Death, being old, especially if I'm alone, generally being alone

Biggest Regret: Ask one of my friends, I'm sure they'll be able to think of something :-)

Left Or Right?: Right

A song to describe your love life: "Seraph" by Heroes For Sale

History of fractures/scars/nasty bruises: scar through my eyebrow and another across my nose from hitting my head on stuff as a child, always getting various cuts and bruises from starting pits with meathead metallers or hardcorians.

Ever broken the law: Uh hu, but dont you be tellin no one ya hear

Blonde or brunette?: Brunette, black is best though

Strangest enjoyment: Erm, running around screaming, which may seem strange to some people

Worst song ever: Waaaaaaay too many to choose from, something by linkin park, or some boyband crap

What Song Gets Your Adrenaline Pumping: Ohhhh sooo much to choose from. At the moment, I would say "kill the pain" by fallen angel, and anything by 'Bleeding Through' who I've just discovered. Also, "Reign In Blood" by Slayer is always nice.

Apart from your instrumental 'talent' what else do you bring to the band: Erm...jumping on unsuspecting audience members, diving into pits mid song, hitting things, the art of being sick

What does this band do for you: Gives me the chance to run around screaming my ass off, whilst getting paid, which is surely one of the best things ever. It also gives me a chance to express my self to others.

What Other Instruments You Have Played: I once played the violin, which was fun

Top 5 Albums at the moment: Slayer - "Seasons in the abyss", Shai Hulud - "Hearts once nourished with hope and compassion", God Forbid - "Determination", Hatebreed - "perseverance", The Haunted - "Live rounds in Tokyo/The Haunted made me do it double CD" Darkest Hour - The Mark of the Judas (I know that's 6 but never mind, all are too good)

If you could have one thing in the world, what would it be: To get signed, tour the world with a load of fucking real metal bands, meet a load of my idols and show the world what metal is about, live happily ever after with someone I truly love and not have to worry about anything anymore. Also it would be nice if I could have general Kael's costume, as it is the coolest set of armour and mask ever.

The one thing you're most likely to shout at a band practice: many different words...I tend to do a lot of shouting ya see
