For those who may not know who you are, introduce yourselves quickly.
Terraborn (Melodic Death Metal) based in Sussex, UK
Describe your sound in as few words as possible.
Post-Apocalyptic Soundtrack of Destruction.
Who are your three biggest influences as a band?
Lamb of God, Pantera, Parkway Drive
What’s the meaning behind your band name?
It means “Born of the Earth”. Mainly fitting in with the post-apocalyptic theme
How did you approach your latest release, the ‘Call to War’ EP, in terms of writing and recording?
Mainly through collaboration at home for the writing process with most of the music written by Dave (Guitars). All of the EP was recorded, mixed and edited by ourselves (with the exception of live drums) and fully self-produced using Andy (Guitars) home studio setup
Do you have any personal favourite songs on the release?
Our favourite tracks from the EP are the title track ‘Call to War’ and ‘Nations Wake’
Explain the meaning behind the title.
Call to War! – Rallying the troops for battle.
Describe the concept of the video.
Trying to bring the Chaos behind our live performances into a video…Lots of lights, glitches, flashing, sci-fi type feel!
How does it tie in with the themes around the song?
Yes, calling on our soldiers to join the cause and fight for survival
Was it fun to shoot or did it prove to be quite a challenge?
Very fun, with access to a lot of hi-tech kit, an array of 4K HD cameras, HUGE screens, crazy lighting rigs! – As with any video though when you have performed the song 100+ times it wears a little thin!!
Do you have any live dates lined up at present?
Friday 2nd August at the Facebar in Reading (Supporting Rammlied – Rammstein tribute), Friday 1st November at the Crown in Littlehampton (Headline)
What are your favourite songs to perform live?
‘Hypocrisy’, ‘Nations Wake’.
What are the best and worst shows you’ve played to date?
The Best: Mammothfest 2016, M2M final Brighton 2017. The Worst: The Hub Brighton (horrendous sound issues!!)
If you could open for anyone, who would it be?
Lamb of God
Any comical stories from your time as a band you can share with us?
A Seagull stealing, and swallowing whole our bass players battered sausage outside of Sticky Mikes in Brighton, and our Guitarist (Dave) having to run out of the car at traffic lights in a one way system approaching Reading as he needed to pee, for us only to realise afterwards he had left his phone in the Car and was subsequently lost in the middle of the City with no way for us to contact him!
What’s the plan for the rest of 2019?
Promoting our video release and continuing the writing process for our album which we hope to get into the studio to record later this year – with a few live shows thrown in to keep us on our toes of course!
