Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, you learn too, Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
For see wow, crazy you. This is the pipe Man
here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y
Radio and I'm here.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
With we are speaking whispers nice here a bloodstock?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
How bad ass is that? Good?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
As man?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It's fucking great to be here, right, how did you
get the bloodstock?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So basically, there was a Metal to the Masses in
Cyprus and we won that so and here we are.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Wow, what do you what's your opinion Melted the Massis
Besides the fact that you won, of course you love it,
but tell us your viewpoint on it?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
That fantastic. It gives opportunities to new bands. We wouldn't
be here if it wasn't for Metal to the Masses.
So yeah, big ups for that organ.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And it's pretty cool, right, Like, I don't even know
if we have something like that that big in the
United States.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't know if there's anything like that anywhere, to
be honest, because it's the only platform that gives underground
bands and especially international bands, not just UK bands, right
to come at a major UK festival, which is amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And even if you don't win, you have the exposure
playing at these different venues and you get new letters.
And from what I understand, you guys aren't even in
competition with each urch, like you're all cheering each.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Other on, right, Yeah, And it's a community.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, but you get the experience, you get to play
on a big stage. See how that is. It's a progression,
you know, you can't go from zero to hero. You
have to take a step out of time.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah. And I even see some bands. I know, some bands,
even if they didn't win, they connect with other bands
and then they set up their own tours together.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I mean the vibe that we had with other bands,
because Cypruss is very small, we know all the musicians
on the island seeing them there, there was this camaraderie,
there was a vibe. Everybody was supporting each other. And
then after the shows we were like meeting up with
the other bands, like, oh, let's show together. Yeah, let's
do show together. So this brought everyone together. Even though
it was a competition, it never felt like it, which
(02:07):
is very important.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's I think that's key because the metal community, rock
community in general, we should be one big, happy family
supporting each other because the rest of the world it's
just batshit crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Hell yeah, right, totally agree with that.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So for people that have not heard your music before,
how would you describe it as an artist? I don't
mean genre. I hate that shit. No labels. What do
you think of your music?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It's very modern but very groovy.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So we do have a lot of it's very riff based,
so very guitar based, with much more modern production with SyncE,
and because we all have a very progue background, there's
a lot of progressive metal in it as well. But
we want to stick it to the groove and we
want every single part of the song to make your
head shake.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
So that's the important stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, no doubt. And so now, how are you gonna
follow up Bloodstock after this?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, I mean it's probably straight to the studio for
the new album that we have in production now, hopefully
by late twenty five, early twenty six when I got
when I have that ready, but yeah, it's we're in
writing mode after Black Sock.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Nice. So what was that one moment in time in
your life that you decide this is what you had
to do, especially the two of us here, we've been
playing together for twenty two years.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, so we start we met in actually elementary and
we both got into music early age. We started bands
playing together. We had I don't know, seven or eight
different bands of our together. This is the only one
that felt serious though also we matured, but this is
the only band that felt that we were actually writing
some serious music and this actually stands a fighting chance
(03:49):
in this very saturated market.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh yeah, it's not like the days like in the
eighties where there was like only a few Yeah, you
use the right word, saturate. I don't even know how
bands come up with band names anymore.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
That's it was a tough one for us.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
We were thinking of ideas and then you go on
Spotify and you search that name and you're like, oh,
that already exists, scratch that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
And this went on for about a month.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Like it wasn't two or three days work. It was
a month where just to find an available name, and
even this name, there's nothing something quite sticking.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Something else. He cannot be as original as you could
back in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Always think, oh yeah, exactly. And so outside of music, now,
what's your passion.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'll start with you, man, I know, I kind of
work out and do some gaming, but yeah, have a
out day jobs obviously ruse. I mean you can You
can't sustain on this alone.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Especially nowadays.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, yeah, especially nowadays.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
That's why people I tell people, and it applies to you,
they need to buy your merch because that's the only
way you get to the next show where they can't
listen to my show.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, Merch is the best way to support a band
because that's where the band actually makes some money.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Obviously streaming is not really helping bands. It's good though,
because it spreads your music, but financially that does not support.
Merch is the best way to go and go into shows,
even if you're traveling. Like when I go on holidays,
I always trying to find a local metal show. So
do that when you're out on holidays, find a local band,
go see them.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
It's one night.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, it's two hours of your time. Yeah, it's fun
and they will appreciate it. You will have a great time.
You go home, you discovered something new instead of going,
you know, I don't know, to the local bar and
drink drink at the venue and enjoy some local music.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
There you go. And so what's your favorite video game?
By now?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I'm on rust.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I don't know, if you know rust that one. I
don't know, and I'm a gamer, but I've kind of
converted over the years. Now I play all the sports
games all the time because I've played all the old
school games and they were too easy for me. I
would beat them too quick. Words like when I play
mad and football or NHL hockey, I can manipulate it
where I'm the worst team in the whole league and
(06:01):
learn the best the computer is the best team. Nobody
wants to even play with me because I just kicked
the rash too bad.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I can relate to that because I used to be
a huge two K fan. Yeah, but the last one
I played was two K twelve and then I was like, oh,
I'm gonna do the new one after thirteen years. And
the mechanics are so realistic. It's just insane. Right, You're
just immediately crap at it and it takes time and
effort to actually become good.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
There you got, Well, it's like anything, right, Yeah, put
the work in, you have to. So what's your passion
outside me?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I work as a location sound mixer for film. Oh
so I'm in the film industry and backing home in Cyprus,
so it's a huge passion as I'm still in the
sound realm. Yeah, but I also produce local bands. I
have a studio back home, mixed bands. I write music,
and so my main focus is sound and music.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Nice. Well, let's see it's all interrelated there.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, it takes a lot of your time.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, the music thing, Yeah, you cannot really do anything
serious apart from that.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I mean, anything else is just I talk.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
About it all the time. People look at you guys
and are like, oh, look they're playing bloodstock, They're living
the dream life, and yeah for that set, okay, but
all the work that you have to do for that
half an hour is what they don't see exactly. Like
one of the hardest jobs ever.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Becoming good at your instrument.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That takes years and years of like five hour day practice.
It's not just I'm gonna pick up a guitar noodle
and I'm good. It takes so many years and writing
music and also rehearsing and touring, sleeping in buses, sleeping
on floors, eating shit. Yeah, just surviving food with food,
you know, not guru may craft to it later you got, yeah,
(07:46):
where your palette actually gets to enjoy it. It's grinding,
But I think that everybody that is willing to do
it deserves it. If you're not willing to grind and
spend your like five six years struggling, then you're not
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Be good to go. Bigskaya Passion one hundred and listen.
I played drums for nine years. Sucked still. I played
guitar for a few years. Sucked still because what you
said the practice. I remember, like I wanted to be
like Randy Rhodes, who doesn't he practiced for eight hours
a day. I'm like, I don't fucking have eight hours
(08:20):
a day to practice. And then I just saw an
interview with Kirk Ham and he said he's still to
this day practice is twelve hours a day.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's so important. Our other guitar player, he was not
here with us right now. He's obviously somewhere watching a
band or something. When he was young, we didn't see
him for eight years, Like he was locked in his
room playing guitar.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That was it.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That was his day.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Every day, wake up, play guitar, go to school, play guitar,
play guitar, play guitar. And then eight years later he
shows up back in the music scene and he's like
this shred god and everyone's like, oh, he's very talented.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
No he's not talented. He is, but he's.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Grinding his ass to get there, and that's what he takes.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's fun. It was my grandson's birthday and the beginning
year asked the way he want, unbeknownst to me, say guitar.
So I brought him to Guitar Center, which I don't
know if they have it over here, but we're here.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, we know it.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, And first of all, he knew exactly what Katari wanted.
And then he sat and played it and I look,
I'm like he was playing a Green Day song. I'm like,
holy shit, I know you could do that. And now
his sister complains because all he does all day long
and sins room and play the guitar and annoys the
(09:35):
shit out of her. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
That happened with me and my sister as well, right,
especially in the teenage years.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I know, I know the feeling, right, But.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Keep grinding, man, Keep grinding, no doubt, no, keep practicing.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Give out all your socials, all the ways to reach you,
how they can buy your merch and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
So you can find our music everywhere Spotify, title, YouTube,
Apple Music, Amazon. You can buy physical copies of RCD
if you want through label website which is Emino Music.
And for merch, we sell them directly ourselves through ban
comp So if you're the band comp picking Whispers, you'll
find some merch.

games all the time because I've played all the old
school games and they were too easy for me. I
would beat them too quick. Words like when I play
mad and football or NHL hockey, I can manipulate it
where I'm the worst team in the whole league and
(06:01):
learn the best the computer is the best team. Nobody
wants to even play with me because I just kicked
the rash too bad.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I can relate to that because I used to be
a huge two K fan. Yeah, but the last one
I played was two K twelve and then I was like, oh,
I'm gonna do the new one after thirteen years. And
the mechanics are so realistic. It's just insane. Right, You're
just immediately crap at it and it takes time and
effort to actually become good.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
There you got, Well, it's like anything, right, Yeah, put
the work in, you have to. So what's your passion
outside me?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I work as a location sound mixer for film. Oh
so I'm in the film industry and backing home in Cyprus,
so it's a huge passion as I'm still in the
sound realm. Yeah, but I also produce local bands. I
have a studio back home, mixed bands. I write music,
and so my main focus is sound and music.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Nice. Well, let's see it's all interrelated there.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, it takes a lot of your time.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, the music thing, Yeah, you cannot really do anything
serious apart from that.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I mean, anything else is just I talk.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
About it all the time. People look at you guys
and are like, oh, look they're playing bloodstock, They're living
the dream life, and yeah for that set, okay, but
all the work that you have to do for that
half an hour is what they don't see exactly. Like
one of the hardest jobs ever.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Becoming good at your instrument.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That takes years and years of like five hour day practice.
It's not just I'm gonna pick up a guitar noodle
and I'm good. It takes so many years and writing
music and also rehearsing and touring, sleeping in buses, sleeping
on floors, eating shit. Yeah, just surviving food with food,
you know, not guru may craft to it later you got, yeah,
(07:46):
where your palette actually gets to enjoy it. It's grinding,
But I think that everybody that is willing to do
it deserves it. If you're not willing to grind and
spend your like five six years struggling, then you're not
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Be good to go. Bigskaya Passion one hundred and listen.
I played drums for nine years. Sucked still. I played
guitar for a few years. Sucked still because what you
said the practice. I remember, like I wanted to be
like Randy Rhodes, who doesn't he practiced for eight hours
a day. I'm like, I don't fucking have eight hours
(08:20):
a day to practice. And then I just saw an
interview with Kirk Ham and he said he's still to
this day practice is twelve hours a day.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's so important. Our other guitar player, he was not
here with us right now. He's obviously somewhere watching a
band or something. When he was young, we didn't see
him for eight years, Like he was locked in his
room playing guitar.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That was it.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That was his day.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Every day, wake up, play guitar, go to school, play guitar,
play guitar, play guitar. And then eight years later he
shows up back in the music scene and he's like
this shred god and everyone's like, oh, he's very talented.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
No he's not talented. He is, but he's.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Grinding his ass to get there, and that's what he takes.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's fun. It was my grandson's birthday and the beginning
year asked the way he want, unbeknownst to me, say guitar.
So I brought him to Guitar Center, which I don't
know if they have it over here, but we're here.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, we know it.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, And first of all, he knew exactly what Katari wanted.
And then he sat and played it and I look,
I'm like he was playing a Green Day song. I'm like,
holy shit, I know you could do that. And now
his sister complains because all he does all day long
and sins room and play the guitar and annoys the
(09:35):
shit out of her. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
That happened with me and my sister as well, right,
especially in the teenage years.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I know, I know the feeling, right, But.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Keep grinding, man, Keep grinding, no doubt, no, keep practicing.
