RICHARD CHRISTY - Six Songs Written For Next CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED Album
January 31, 2010, 14 years ago
Icon Vs. Icon recently conducted an interview with Howard Stern Show sidekick and CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED drummer / founder Richard Christy. An excerpt is available below:
Icon Vs. Icon: Is it safe to say that Charred Walls of The Damned is more than a one-off gig? Will we be hearing more from you guys in the future?
Richard Christy: "Absolutely! I want to continue this forever if I can. Metal is something that I love and I want to keep doing it until I am an old decrepit man and I can’t move anymore [laughs]. I love it and I have already written about six songs for the next Charred Walls of The Damned album. I am super, super psyched about these new songs. I was very, very inspired by recording at Jason’s studio, Audio Hammer Studios, down in Florida. I had so much fun in the studio and it was so rewarding to hear the final album. When I came back to New York City, I was totally inspired and I was playing guitar two or three hours a night, so I just started writing. I have six songs already. They are really amazing songs and I would imagine that in the next two to three months, I will have an entire album written. I would really like to go back and maybe even do some more recording before the end of the year."
