I was able to catch the guys in Killamora after their gig at
Zero’s Hard Rock Club in Corpus Christi this past June when
they played with Sewn Shut and Texas Hate Machine. Be sure
to catch these guys in the next few month as they will be re-
leasing a new CD as well as getting their name out there with
more shows with touring bands, as well as other local acts.
CRM - Tell me a little bit about
KILLAMORA, how long has the
band been together.
KILLAMORA - We’ve been a
band since 2001, basically in
December 2000, but we didn’t
start rehearsing and making it
a band till 2001. We started out
with the idea with not being as
heavy as we are today, but our
natural tendencies got the best
of us and we ended up turning it
into the beast we call KILLAM-
ORA today. I’m (Tony Gomez-
Singer) the only original mem-
ber from the original line-up.
Fidel (drums) is next, he’s been
with us for about eight years.
We’ve had this bad boy go-
ing for years and years, we’ve
gone through a lot of changes,
but we’ve been growing at a
steady rate and with a blessing
that we’ve come across some
really good people that have
helped us ride along the past
eight years. I’m blessed with a
great line-up of guys that totally
kick ass, Izzy Chapa (guitar)
and David Gomez (guitar) (who
is our new guitar player, he re-
cently replaced Joe Coridnado
who had been with us for three
years). Dave’s just fit in like a
glove, he’s really put in his time
to deliver the goods, learning
the music, and being very at-
tentive to what we’re showing
him at practice. We couldn’t
ask for a better, new addition
to the band. And rounding out
the band is Will Guzman on
bass. I’d also like to note that
Fidel and Alex (ex-bassist), who
actually played with SUFFER-
ANCE and the original DEV-
ASTATION, took a break from
KILLAMORA to tour with DEV-
ASTATION when they opened
up for SOULFLY.
CRM - You guys have been a
staple in the Corpus music
scene for many years now.
Delve into the scene itself here
in Corpus, the highs and lows.
KILLAMORA - There’s definitely
some highs when we’re blessed
with some national acts that come
through. Besides the things that
happen at Concrete Street, that’s
when you have everyone com-
ing out of the woodwork that you
normally don’t see at shows like
we had tonight. With the help of
House of Rock in having some
battle of the band contests, and
KC from HOR in being generous
with us and inviting us to play
with bands like STATIC X and
ILL NINO, has helped create a
fan base, especially with people
that normally don’t get a chance
to see us because they’re under-
age. We play a lot of bars that
where 21 and over are allowed to
get in. But when we do get those
opportunities like BLEEDING
THROUGH over here at Zero’s
or EXODUS and DEICIDE at the
Ayers Event Center, that’s when
we’re able to hit those underage
guys that wouldn’t be able to see
us any other place.
CRM - You mentioned new stuff
you’re getting ready to put out,
tell us about some of your previ-
ous stuff.
KILLAMORA - We put out our
first CD in 2002, it was just a
taste of what the band at the time
had to offer. We’ve actually kept
one song from that original CD
that we’ve held on to and play
live, that is “Confess”. We’ve
rerecorded for the CD we have
coming out, which will be called
“Ground Breaker”. That first CD
had 6 songs, then we put out a
4 song demo that had some real
strong songs that really built the
band up into something we felt
really strong about. That one had
“Never Surrender”, “Bleed For
Me” which was our opener to-
night, “The Darkest of Shadows”
as well as “Process of Elimina-
tion.” After we put that out we’ve
been really busy doing a lot
of gigs and playing with many
national acts that have come
Crossroads Music Publication • september 2010 • Support Your Scene!
through, and luckily we have had
a great following that have been
there for support. The club own-
ers and the venues have been
behind us cus they know we
have a (crowd) draw. This new
CD we’re putting out, we’ve had
music that has basically been
ready and we’ve played at shows
for over a year already. Due to us
being real busy and raising mon-
ey for the CD, we haven’t had the
opportunity to record the right
way with the right person behind
the knobs until now. I’m the one
holding us back right now. These
guys have already done their job
and recorded what they had to. I
have three more songs to record
and before the end of July and
we should have the whole CD
mixed and mastered. All we have
to do is get the package together
and get it out to the public to sell
to you guys.
CRM - Sweet. Now, tonight, I don’t
know how many new songs you
played but one of them sounded
pretty politically charged, tell us
about that and other songs.
KILLAMORA - Yeah! Well, I’m re-
ally interested in politics today
because I feel our government
has taken us for granted and
constantly lied to us,taken us for
fools and treated us like we’re
stupid. I think that is the new
way for them to control us, by
keeping us scared and unedu-
cated and I refuse to go about
like that. We need to look into
what our government is doing in
our country today and wake up
and take a stand every oppor-
tunity we can get. That’s what
this song, “Obamanation”, is
about, it covers the different
radical changes Obama has
been making with our govern-
ment over the past two years.
Cutting down our funds to our
space projects, he’s basically
got our soldiers hands tied be-
cause of rules of engagement
whether in Afghanistan or Iraq.
It’s bullshit that these guys
can’t fight and protect them-
selves against guys that are
firing at them without first veri-
fying that it’s not civilians they
are going to fire upon. This oil
crisis is another one of those
plots to get us where he wants
us. I just throw a little bit of that
into our songs. I don’t write all
about politics but when you
feel strongly about anything it
comes out like that.
CRM - What plans do you have
after your CD release?
KILLAMORA - We want to do
this right. It’s not going to be a
demo but a full representation
of what we are about and what
we are made of. With the excep-
tion of David, we all created the
music on this CD. We’ve written
about four other songs that are
not on the CD but those on the
CD needed to be put out, they
are the ones we’ve had under
our belt, they deserve to get
out. We want to get it out to in-
dependent and major labels to
see what kind of response we
get back from them. We want
to put some touring behind it
as well, not just Texas but try
3
and get ourself spread out as much as ing. The other gigs that come to mind
possible. We do have obligations in this
town but we’re willing to make sacrifices
to get us to be where we need to be so
we can give ourselves a chance and op-
portunity to be recognized and to repre-
sent Corpus.
CRM - Tell us about some of the shows
you guys have played.
KILLAMORA - One of the shows that
always comes to mind is the one we
played with BLEEDING THROUGH
about a year and a half or two years
ago. That place was packed and as hot
as it was that night we had to give eve-
rything we had to finish that 45 minute
set. Afterward I got a chance to talk with
the guys in BLEEDING THROUGH and
they said they were hurting as well, they
said they had to cut their set short be-
cause it was so hot, but it was amaz-
are the Concrete Street gigs. We were
able to deliver to a crowd of people
that hadn’t had a chance to hear us,
Sounds of the Underground was great.
CRM - Any bad shows to mention?
KILLAMORA - I guess the bad ones
are the ones where we have bad
sound. One of the ones that comes to
mind is the one show with DEICIDE
in Laredo. We drove all the way down
there and we hear that Glenn doesn’t
want any local bands to open, it was
one of those he said this/he said that
type thing. Of course we were pissed
off, then Glenn comes up to us and
asks what wrong. We tell him and he
said the promoter already knew about
this, and it was no surprise since it was
in the rider. Needless to say we weren’t
able to play the gig. Glenn ended up
hanging out and chillin, drinking a cou-
ple of beers with us. He’s good people,
we’ve played with them before down
here in Corpus. I guess it was meant
to be for us to stay out of the hot seat
cus we took off before the show began
cus we were not going to make the trip
at two in the morning if we didn’t get a
chance to play. We found out the very
next day on Blabbermouth that SWAT
team had to come in and the place got
raided cus the shit got out of hand.
People started assaulting the security,
there was vandalism going on outside,
etc. With our luck, if we stayed, we
would have gotten our trucks fucked
up or equipment stolen.
CRM - Anything you want to add?
KILLAMORA - Watch out, we com-
ing!!! We want these other bands to
take us seriously and the best way we
can do that is going out there giving
everything we have on every show. If
your not our friend on MySpace hit us
up and become our friend. Keep up
with KILLAMORA, the CD should be
done and out in two or three months.
We wanna say hi to the KILLA-CREW
- Baldi, Des, Dawg, everybody at Ex-
treme Tattoo for all the support. Billy
and Jennet for giving us a place to play
and party with all our friends.

...is a three piece brutal Technical Death Metal band out of Mathis, TX.
We were able to catch the guys in the local bathroom (don’t ask)
when they played with LYING TO SICK CHILDREN here in Victoria
this past April. They will be hitting the studio to record and will have
something released soon after along with a tour with other Texas
bands. Be sure to check them out at www.myspace.com/mutation34

CRM - First, tell us who you are and what you
play.
Joseph - I’m Joseph, I play guitar and lead vo-
calist.
Mark - I’m Mark and I’m the guitarist.
Brad - I’m the drummer and we are Mutation
Joseph - He’s the highs in and I’m the lows when
it comes to singing.
CRM - How long have you guys been together
and where are you from?
Joseph - These two dudes have been together
for three of four years. Brad’s from Mathis and
Mark’s from Orange Grove. I moved to Mathis
around ‘08 and that’s when I found them out. It
was these two and another guy, I didn’t come in
till about two years ago.
CRM - You mentioned before about having an
old singer right?
Brad - We had an old bass player/singer.
Joseph - Before I was the singer they had an
old bassist that sung. He didn’t want to go out
and practice on his own, just band practice, so
he lagged behind on skills. He didn’t want to
practice to get the songs better, so we let him
go. Yeah, like me and Mark kept coming up with
things to make it faster, more technical, etc.
Brad - He was real narrow-minded, he wanted
to be just straight up fast Thrash beat, he didn’t
want to go more melodic on things.
Joseph - He wanted to be more straight old
school CANNIBAL CORPSE. I mean, we like
that shit but we wanted to be completely differ-
ent. We wanted to be our own creation, that’s
why we’re MUTATION, cus we take everything
and put it together and come up with our own
shit.
CRM - Yeah, when I saw you play earlier I no-
ticed you guys had various styles in there,
sometimes playing the same stuff over and over
again, it gets..... - Old! Yeah!
Joseph - It kind of gets boring. You here one
band and you’re like ‘Oh, that sounds bad-ass’,
then three or four songs into them it sounds the
same. You’re like ‘Alright, are they done yet, is
this the second song? No, it’s the sixth song.
Shit it all sounds the same to me.’
CRM - Yeah, like you threw in a little bit of Span-
ish in one song.
Joseph - Yeah, when we made that song we
wanted to incorporate some more of our heri-
tage, more of us. Not us as individuals but more
us as our heritage. The song was “Scriptures of
Death and Destruction”. When you hear it your
thinking of epiphanies, scriptures, Nostradamus
speaking of predictions, visions of the end of the
world. Song starts off Death Metal then Tech-
nical then Flamenco, then Death again. It’s not
just that song, with all the songs we try and go
from Technical death to easy chill, then compli-
cated, then back again. We don’t wanna be fo-
cused on one genre or group of people. Not
just people into brutal Death Metal, we want
people into Black Metal, Power Metal...
Brad - People who are into music for music!
Not just because they like Thrash or Black or
Death. Someone who likes music in general.
Joseph - People that have an open-mind.
CRM - Well that diversion kind of helped you
guys open for CANNIBAL CORPSE right? You
did a battle at House of Rock right?
Joseph - When we went into it honestly
thought we weren’t going to win this.
Brad - Yeah, I thought we were going to lose
because KILLAMORA has been around 8-10
years in the Corpus scene and everybody
knows who they are. We ended up on top and
that was a good experience in my life.
Joseph - When we got there I was like ‘Ok, I
hope we don’t play first and I hope we don’t
play last.’ They ended up pulling the cards
and we ended up playing last. Yet, they told
everybody that everyone has to stay till the
end of the night, so no matter what, no vot-
ing goes on till the last band plays. So luckily
we got last, so everyone that got there at 8
or 9 o’clock had to stay regardless to vote. As
a matter of fact, LYING TO SICK CHILDREN,
the vocalist Gore, he told all the people that
were there to see them to vote for us. So a lot
of it is because of them we won.

CRM - Tell us abit about SITC
CANYON - We’ve been a band for about a
year and a half, I'm Canyon, I'm the singer.
JEREMY - I'm Jeremy I play guitar.
CHARLES - Charles, drums
HENRY - Henry, guitar.
CANYON - We have about eight songs.
We're starting on a new one now.
CHARLES - All our songs are pretty much
about being straight edge, being clean, not
giving in to peer pressure, being yourself,
and living your own life.
CANYON - They’re not just random things
that we put together, they do have meaning.
JEREMY - Yeah, all of them have a good
strong meaning.
CANYON - Definitely. Yeah, they’re not lyrics
that you have to dig deep into, there pretty
blunt and something you can relate to you.
We're not trying to hide the way we feel about
it.
JEREMY - Just straight and to the point.
CRM - You mentioned about having eight
songs, any plans on recording?
CHARLES - This Summer were probably go-
ing to have about a six or seven song EP.
CANYON - We're going to head over to San
Antonio to the Looney Bin. We're trying. Right
now were saving up some money.
JEREMY - Yeah we're all working except for
Canyon...
CHARLES - Yeah, he's looking for work
(laughs)
CRM - Tell us about your sound, influences
and such.
CHARLES - My influence is AUGUST
BURNS RED.
JEREMY - Mine would have to be OF MICE
& MEN.
HENRY - I definitely like A DAY TO REMEM-
BER, two-steppin stuff like that.
CANYON - Mine’s more like the Southern
Hardcore, like CABARET.
HENRY - Now throw that in a blender...
CANYON - ...and you got SEND IN THE
CAVALRY
“It’s a good life, if we had
our way the whole world
would be straight edge!
You see life in a completely
different way sober.”
CRM - Tell us how the name SEND IN THE
CAVALRY come about?
(Everyone points to Charles)
CHARLES - I thought of it in the shower. It's
like a cavalry, a big movement, like we're
coming for ya.
HENRY - A straight-edge movement.
CHARLES - A lot of my ideas come to me like
at work when I'm bagging ice or when I'm in
the shower.
CRM - Your best ideas come when your
around water....
CHARLES - Yeah
JEREMY - Yeah, Charles' best ideas come
when he is wet! (laughs)
CANYON - Yeah, he likes it wet! (laughs)
CRM - Tell us about the Port Lavaca scene.
JEREMY - It use to be fairly big but then it
just died away. It pretty much slowed down.
CANYON - Yeah, it had its highs then its
downfall.
CRM - Yeah for a moment you guys had a
bigger scene than in Victoria.
CANYON - Yeah, it was big
CHARLES - yeah, it was one show right after
another.
JEREMY - I think it was that there were
shows almost every weekend with the same
bands and it kind of got old.
CHARLES - People got older, got jobs, start-
ed leaving, going to college.
CRM - Tell us some more about your lyrical
content.
CANYON - Well its basically about battles
within yourself. A lot of our lyrics come from
what we see in humanity as a whole. We see
people that are hooked on drugs and pass
that off as cool.
CHARLES - Yeah, in school we had so many
friends that was doing this and doing that,
and we didn't do it, so no one wanted to hang
out with us. We lost a lot of friends because
of that and our music is part of that.
CANYON - Another big thing is that people
may mistaken us, because we're straight
edge we automatically hate everybody that
does drugs. That's totally not it. You live your
own life and make your own path. We can't
sit here and worry about other people’s lives.
We've pledged this, this is the path we de-
cided to take. Another big thing is that they
think we want to fight because it's known that
straight edge kids have a lot of built up hate
and anger. It's not like that. We have friends
that do drugs but we dont care.
CRM - And for bands, people that listen to
them, it rubs off on them, that inspiration.
CANYON - It's a good life, if we had our way
the whole world would be straight edge! You
see life in a completely different way sober.
CRM - It's that moment of clarity.
CRM - You mentioned about recording in San
Antonio in the Summer, tell us about that.
HENRY - We have some friends in another
band that recorded there and it sounded
awesome.
CANYON - Yeah, I wanna take time out to

have for you guys?
JEREMY - Recording new songs.
CHARLES - Play more shows.
CRM - Canyon, you find a job!
(laughs)
CANYON - Yeah post that on your
site, "Canyon needs a job."
CRM - Anything else you want to add?
CANYON - You know, like I said,
you know, we dont hate, you know!.
Just be yourself, we don't judge, you
know.
CHARLES - You Know!

counter to show how many times he

SEWN SHUT, an-
other brutal band outta Corpus
Christi, is gearing up to release
their debut CD. I had a chance to
sit down with Sewn Shut and ask
them a few questions... check it
out!
How long has Sewn Shut
been together?
SS - We started in '99 and we
didn't start playing shows till
2000. We had the original line-up
for like four years, me (OJ) and
Moses, the other guitar player,
are the original members, then
Frank came in on '04. Since then
we were trying to get other mem-
bers but just like with everything,
attitudes come and go, and it
sucks. We get our hopes up, try
and remain positive and keep
going. Then we found Adam (gui-
tar) and he came with his brother
(bass) and it is working out great.
When we didnt have a complete
band it didn't look good on our
part when we played shows, you
know, just a singer, guitar play
and drummer. Now, things are
working great.
Who are some of your in-
fluences?
SS - Our influences range from
old school like Rush, Queen-
sryche, Motley Crue, Anthrax,
the Thrash that was real pivotal
to Metal, like Megadeth, Testa-
ment, Exodus coming up to the
much younger, newer stuff.
What is upcoming for
Sewn Shut?
SS - We have an album coming
out, we started it a couple months
back. It's been a slow process
cus our schedule hasn't been on
par with the engineer. The down-
fall of it is that Adam and won't be
on there. He will be on the picture
though! All the guitar work and
bass is Moses. The thing is, the
music we play now, with these
two guys is totally different, we
were used hearing it one way and
now we hear it another way and
we're like, damn, makes us want
to go back in and record again,
but time and money! The sound is
so much deeper. As for the album,
the album should be finished up
and ready in a month or two. But
having these two guys in it now it
motivates us to write and do more
stuff.
What plans do you have
after the release?
SS - We want to build a fan base,
do some regional shows. Grow
like spilled water, slowly spread-
ing out more and more. Our home
base is Corpus, we've played out
in the Valley, San Antonio, Victo-
ria. We wanna play them places
again and grow out more and
more. If we can get out constantly,
especially Summer and Fall of this
year, will be great. Anything that
gets us to put our music out there
more and more.
Is there anything else
you would like to men-
tion?
SS - For anyone out there, look
us up! We’re on MySpace at www.
myspace.com/sewnshut. Once
we get the CD finished and out
everything will be revamped and
we’ll start with a new slate. New
music should be up soon!
OJ - I'd like to give a shout-out to
my family in Victoria, the Rosales'
- Andy, Loisa, Tony and Tommy!!!
Look for Sewn Shut to be playing

Eyes Set to Kill, the melody
driven post-hardcore five piece
band from Arizona, was formed
in 2004 by sisters, rhythm and
bass guitarist, Alexia and An-
issa Rodriguez. The other mem-
bers include: Caleb Clifton on
drums, Greg Kerwin the lead
guitarist, and Cisko Miranda on
screams and keys. The present
line-up of member has been in
place for about seven months
now, and this quintet has seen
its fair share of members. Since
their start in 2004, Eyes Set to
Kill has had nearly 10 members
have come and go. “When we
first started there were a bunch
of people who just couldn’t han-
dle touring and being away from
home,” said lead singer Alexia
who feels that being in a band
isn’t for everyone.
In 2008 they released “Reach”
that became a top seller in Hot
Topic stores all around; howev-
er, the bands defining moment
came in 2009 with the release
of “The World Outside” getting
them critical recognition across
the country. The band has been
featured on the cover USA To-
day, Alternative Press Maga-
zine’s “100 Bands You Need To
Know”, and they even hosted an
episode of MTV’s Headbangers
Ball. And this past summer was
their first time doing the entire
Vans Warped Tour.
Their latest album “Broken
8 Crossroads Music Publication • september 2010 • Support Your Scene!
Frames” was released this
past June, which is critically
said to be more aggressive
than the prior albums. “Bro-
ken Frames” has taken the
Eyes Set To Kill Photos by Mike Montelongo
band to a different stage
of musical growth. “We’ve
been playing about three or
four new songs on this tour,”
said Alexia, “and a bunch of
people are already singing
all the words, it pretty cool
to see.”
Although “Broken Frames”
has been accepted by most
fans, some still aren’t adapt-
ing well to the change.
“Obviously, the band’s not
gonna be the same band
as it was when it released
its first album. It’s all about
growth.”

 CRM - First, thanks for taking the time to answer
these questions. Let's first get into the incep-
tion of Insecticide. You guys have been around
since the 80's, give us a brief history of getting
together and who's who in the band.
I - No problem... Well, Sherman and I were going
to a lot of shows back in the day and we were very
into Venom and Celtic Frost at the time... so we
started the band in 1986 or so..Sherman and I are
still here, Alex joined us in 2006.
CRM - How did the name ‘Insecticide’ come about?
I - When it comes to names I think it is a brand that
you need to have. If I could have no name it would
be better, however it is what it is. I just wanted as
dumb a name as Metallica has. Come on Metal-
lica?? We could have called it Steel something or
Metal something but here we are...
CRM - Some of the band members have been in
other bands as well, tell us about that.
I - Insecticide played a lot in the 80's and between
drummers, Sherman went to Hirax when Katon left
the band...I believe it was Scott and Eric Brecht at
the time...I played in Beowulf in 2004/2005 we had
a total of 3 drummers in Insecticide Shawn Hill, RIP
and Rich Rowen (Beowulf) and now of course now
we have Alex Ron.
CRM - Who were your influences growing up?
I - Well for me there are 2 types of influences. The
first is music. It is clear for me that Iron Maiden,
Saxon, Motorhead are my introductions to Metal.
As far as my musical direction, when it comes to my
writing style, it’s Slayer. One song that spoke to me,
Chemical Warfare, floored me when I first heard it!!!
CRM - I remember the first time I heard you guys
when I was into cassette tape trading back in the
day. You guys were doing tours on that demo.
Who were some of the bands that you toured with
then? How difficult was it to do that back then?
I - We had 2 demos in the 80's. The first one was in
‘86. We recorded that one with an Iron Maiden type
vocalist, then we decided it wasn't the sound we
wanted so we threw Sherman on vocals. We played
with a lot of bands too many to remember! Here is
a cool thing...Dead Horse played our first show in
Houston before anyone knew who they were...
CRM - What happened with the album you re-
corded back then? It wasn’t released at the
time, until a few years ago...
I - After doing the THRASH ATTACK album on New
Renaissance Records we were approached to re-
cord the album from Ann Bolyn... there were a few
problems between us and the label that I won’t go
into.... Blower records released it for us in 2007 and
that was very cool!!! It has since sold out, so I will
do a repressing because a lot of people still are
asking for a copy...
CRM - Insecticide is releasing a CD called "For a
Dying World" this year. Who’s releasing it?
I - The album is finished and we are deciding how
to release it. Blower is passing on this one because
they want to concentrate on new Mexican Metal
releases so I will do it myself. We may just give it
12 Crossroads Music Publication • september 2010 • Support Your Scene!
away to anyone that emails us!
CRM - Inseciticide was in the midst of the
whole Bay Area Thrash scene back in the
day. Tell us what you think about the scenes
then and now, what do you see as the big-
gest positive and negative of it all?
I - We live in Southern California and we’re
mostly into our scene, such as Slayer, Holy Ter-
ror, etc. As for the Bay Area scene I was not
into all the bands. I do like Exodus and there
were a few bands we played with back in the
day that I still have CD's from. I cant remember
their names right now. When it comes to the
new Thrash I really like Scythe from LA a lot. I
think the new scene is kick ass!!!
CRM - As with the Thrash scene in general,
what do you guys think of the new school
Thrash bands that have popped up?
I - I am grateful to all the new Thrash bands
for restarting the FIRE!!!! I hope the thrashers
stay true and keep MEGA THRASHING!! As I
mentioned before I like Scythe a lot!
CRM - Insecticide will be trekking through
Texas later this year. Who else will be play-
ing and where will this tour take you?
I - We are coming thru in October 22nd, 23rd,
Houston and San Antonio will be the stops in
Texas. We are playing 2 shows with HRA and
PLF this will be 2 great nights of THRASH/
CROSSOVER! I miss the crossover days!!!!
CRM - After your album release and touring, what
will be the next step in Insecticide's future?
I - There is no beginning, there is no end. We
are writing the follow-up to "For a Dying World"
now and it will be a thrasher!!!
CRM - Outside of the music and Insecticide
what other things do you guys do to pass time?
I - Sherman and I have a studio together and
I have a business to run as well. Pretty much
sucks the life right out of us!!
CRM - What are your thoughts on the music
industry as a whole? For instance, the ease of
the Internet for bands, file sharing, and so on?
I - The music industry is a business, so that
means they make good and bad choices. I
loved when the music business signed a bunch
of Thrash bands back in the day and then said
where is the ballad? Stay indie or release it
yourself and keep your creative control!! I think
the internet is a great way to get heard.
CRM - Thanks again for taking the time to do
this! Anything about Insecticide that needs
to be said?
I - Were just a little ol band from California that
wants to tour just to see old friends...
Be sure to catch Insecticide in October when
they swing through Texas! If you haven’t
heard them yet, go to www.myspace.com/

scene with one
one special goal
on our minds &
in our hearts.
We wanted to
give our friends

www.myspace.com/roughedgetx
bucks!! LMAO!!! We got home &
he was gonna check out the album
he had bought. He decided to play
the album I stole. As soon as “Black
Dog” started he said I went up to
the speaker, put both my hands on
it and started head banging away!!
After the album finished he said I
started crying. That was one thing,
my parents said, that would always
calm me down & keep me from
crying. And the rest is history..... I
am Very influenced by all 70’s hard
rock & 80’hard rock, Glam Metal,
Thrash, Hard Core Punk, & of
course, Heavy Metal!!!
Teddy - Let’s continue to talk about
your original tunes. The song “Sis-
ter”.. It is a rock and roll music
lovers dream! What is that song
about?
Henry - The song “Sister” is ac-
tually a song that my last band
“Trip” played. It’s the only song
Roughedge plays that was co writ-
ten by the bass player of “Trip”.
In “Trip” we used all his lyrics. It
sounds a lot different than the
“Roughedge” version. Anyway,
when I started Roughedge, out of
all respect I called “Rhynestone”
the bass player, & asked him if he
wouldn’t mind me adding my life
stories into the lyrics and slice and
dice the rest of his lyrics. He told
me he had no problem with that. He
wrote half the lyrics & I wrote the
other half & all the music. Oh shit
I forgot to tell you what the song’s
about!! lol. It’s basically about sex.
The name “Sister”, obviously isn’t
about my sister or anything like
that. That would be totally gross!!
LMAO!! The word “Sister” relates to
the girls who have come in and out
of my life. Basically another song
about my past girlfriends and the
trials & tribulations of that certain
past part of my life.
Teddy - Life stories many times
make the best lyrics. Two of my fa-
vorite lyricist were Kurt Cobain and
Freddie Mercury.
Henry - Freddie Mercury & Cobain
we’re definitely two very great lyri-
cists. They are missed.
Teddy - Will you have a album out
soon? Are you recording right now? Teddy - I would like to thank Henry TERVIEW* GREAT JOB
Henry - Yes. We are gonna have
an album out soon. Actually it’s a
6 song EP. We’re recording 4 new
tracks to add to “Broken Life” &
“Sister” The EP will be called “Bro-
ken” as listed on the bottom of the
cover. Hope you guys enjoy it!!!!!!

Napalm Record One of the very best albums I have
Sure to bring a smile to your face,
a cappelia hero ‘metal’ band from
Germany, Van Canto does what
few do and forgot their gear. Five
vocalists and a drummer make
up the band, whose reputation for
fascinating covers inked them an
American deal with Napalm records
recently. With lead vocalists Dennis
Schunke and the angel voiced Inga
Scharf, Rakkatakka vocalists Ste-
fan Schmidt and Ross Thompson
and Dandan vocalist Ingo Sterzing-
er, Their music is like a metal bar-
bershop group from hell. Turning
what some do alone in their cars
or standing at the ATM into an art
form, the blend of traditional power
vocals over staccato enunciations
and odd rhythmic vocal drones puts
most learned instrumentalists to
shame. Their new album features

The Black
“Donna” EP
Checked these guys out one night
when they played down here in Vic-
toria with Toxic Fuse at Downtown
Bar and Grill. Music is almost in
the 50’s early 60’s feel. Almost has
that Beatles, Buddy Holly feel to it.
Something I would call ‘Happy-go-
lucky’ music, cus the music brings
back feelings of innocence and
goofy aloofness. This is music that
should definately be heard on a
45” record in a soda shop jukebox.
There’s abit of a Country, 2-Step-
pin, Punkish feel to it all, with abit
of a Motown feel sneaking its way
in through the guitar work. Very
odd and very different feel of mu-
sic here. Got to give them credit
for playing music like this. It’s noth-
ing new cus its been done before
yet, not in over 50 years, so in a
way, its refreshing, in a way. www.

Mercury Descends
4 Songs EP
This Prgressive hard Rock Metal
act out of Corpus has a few things
going for itself. For one, the pack-
aging of the CD/EP is top notch,
helping them to be recognized out
of the thousands of new bands
trying to make it in todays music
scene. Music wise, the band gives
their all in delivering straight foward
Rock with a bit of heaviness thrown
in for good measures, yet, in part,
something is lacking in their perfor-
mance. They sound like they would
perform their music 100 times bet-
ter live then what came off on their
release. Music isn’t anything overt-
ly exciting or memorable. There are
some moments that it delivers on
feeling and musical strength but, I
think, the production keeps them
bck from being more than what they
are. I’ll check them out in Corpus
in October when they play Dillofest
at House of Rock, so we shall see
what their live show brings to the
table. www.mercurydescends.com

This is a band that has a lot to of-
fer, especially vocally. Coming out

7 Year Crush. Straight Rock with
abit of Metal thrown in with female
vocals to kick everything into high
gear. Ashley has abit of South-
ern flare in her voice, at times abit
Country, but nothing “yee-hawie” if
you know what I mean. Vocals are
strong and have feeling behind it.
Music ranges from heavier Rock to
harmonious grooves on tracks like
“For My Own Good”, “Rub It In” to
abit of a Country feel on “Here or
There”, but not too much of a Coun-
try thing. Check them out at www.

The Georgia Guidestones
Why would any one want to erect four granite slabs, 16ft tall, weighing more than 20 tons each
that has a center piece and capstone on top, that has various languages carved into them that
speak of ten guidelines, or commandments for humanity in the middle of northeast Georgia?
Called the “Georgia
Guidestones” the
strange monolithic
structures were com-
missioned in 1979 by
a well dressed man
who, by all indica-
tions, wanted to re-
main unknown. Built
by the Elberton Gran-
ite Finishing Com-
pany and completed
in March 1980, the guidestones have not only English writing but also
Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian. On the
edge of the top center capstone is the statement “Let these be guide-
stones to an Age of Reason written in Babylonian cuneiform, Classic
Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The guidestones have been the subject of various speculations on who

and why these stones came to be. For one, the unsettling ten guide-
lines open up a floodgate of thoughts.
Many people believe this to be a post-apocalyptic guideline for civi-
lization in the future. Others, believe it the work of some New-World
Order or secret society that knows more than what is being said. No
matter, it raises an eyebrow for
anybody interested in something
out of the ordinary. Above is the
10 guidelines and below are just a
few thoughts on each of them. For
more information on the guide-
stones check the resources at the
end of the article.
Other interesting facts dealing
with the Georgia Guidestones
make it the more intriguing, for
one, there is a plaque of sorts
beside the structure that give
info about them. There are dif-
ferent carvings that indicate dif-
ferent astronomical features.
The sponsor of it is listed as: A
Small group of Americans who
seek the age of reason.
Right below that is what ap-
pears to be markings for a fu-
ture time capsule. There is no
date to when it is to be placed
and no date on when it is to be
opened. I would guess their
waiting for the apocalypse to
occur then place things in it
and indicate when it is to be
opened. Or, better yet, when
they do place items in the
time capsule, maybe it’s
safe to say it will be right

THE MESSAGE ON THE
GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual bal-
ance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and di-
versity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tem-
pered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just
courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external dis-
putes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the
infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature.
before some horrific cataclysmic event. But how would they know unless
they were the ones that started it!?
So, if you happen to be passing through Georgia, be sure to take a gan-
der at these interesting guidestones. If they picked this spot as a safe
location to erect these large granite slabs maybe this is a good place to
be when all hell breaks loose!
