Backstage Pass - Remlia - Interview

ATP

For the record, who's answering the interview?

REMLIA

Zachary Denney ~ Vocals and Guitars

ATP

What is your band's name? How did you come up with that name?

REMLIA

Remlia ~ from the 1st level of a video game called Astynax. Game was given to me by my late Grandfather so it has sentimental significance.

ATP

So who's in the band and what instruments do you each play?

REMLIA

Jimmy Jam-Percussion
Robert Fillis-Bass/vox
Zachary Denney-Guitars/vox

ATP

How would you describe your sound. What makes you unique?

REMLIA

Jungle Rot and Disturbed had a baby, or maybe Six Feet Under and Chevelle had a love child. We are unique I guess because we are "Neapolitan" in our music flavoring. A fellow Metal act, Descendency, describes our sound as 'borderless.'

ATP

What bands have influenced each of you?

REMLIA

Shadows Fall, Disturbed, Slipknot, Slayer, Alice In Chains, Jungle Rot, Thy Art Is Murder, Megadeth, Ghost, 55DP, Killswitch Engage.

ATP

How experienced are you on the stage, a virgin or whore?

REMLIA

Kinda Whorish

ATP

How would you describe your shows?

REMLIA

We've played for many types of audiences and we have been well received which makes us very content. It makes us think we're doing something right. Moshing usually happens with smiling faces and sore bodies. It warms our metal hearts to see people coming together in music and singing along to our jams.

ATP

Tell us about your favorite show and why?

REMLIA

We played a show with Suburban Murder and Inviolate, in Wilmington Delaware, on the very same stage that Death Angel played on, which is pretty exciting to say the least.

ATP

Tell us about your worst show and why?

REMLIA

Easter Weekend, The Pulse in Berlin MD. Our first show with our then bassist which was a good show to put the tip in. It was poorly promoted and even more poorly scheduled and it was a ghost town, but everyone needs to experience those types of gigs to become great.

ATP

Tell Us About Your Dream Show, who you'd like to play with and where?

REMLIA

Download Festival with the Big four of Thrash (Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica)

ATP

Do you have a street team and how can you join?

REMLIA

Nope.

ATP

Do you have a record label and if not are you looking for one?

REMLIA

We don't have one yet but we are open to any.

ATP

What are your plans for the future, in a year, 5 years?

REMLIA

Play as many shows as possible to help spread our name and brutalize a venue near you.

ATP

Finally, do have any words on what Arm The Pit means to you?

REMLIA

We admire you guys and any website or team that helps the national music 'scene' from completely flat lining.
