How did you first get into music, and which band became your first real obsession? Wrestling changed everything for me. I would buy compilation CD’s of wrestling theme songs and discover bands through the video games. My first real obsession was Slipknot, I couldn’t get enough the self titled album & Iowa and it opened a whole new world for me in terms of heavy music.

How did you discover HC, what pulled you in, and which band served as your gateway? I discovered hardcore through bands like Madball and VOD but the band that really served as a gateway for me was Terror. I downloaded One With The Underdogs off Limewire and I couldn’t get enough of what I was hearing.

Biggest musical influence? Slipknot
