DIRGE WITHIN Guitarist Shaun Glass - "We Definitely Are More In The Vein Of The TESTAMENT And LAMB OF GOD Kind Of Music"
March 9, 2010, 14 years ago
DIRGE WITHIN guitarist Shaun Glass is featured in a new interview with MetalAssault.com. An excerpt is available below.
Q: To a person who visits your MySpace page for the first time and sees the genre as 'rock/metal/thrash', how would you elaborate?
Shaun: "I think the reason we put that description is to kind of have different people check our band out instead of us just saying 'we're death metal' or 'that kind of metal'. I think that anyone who listens to some rock stuff, even like DISTURBED-type bands can get into us and even the SLIPKNOT fans. Thrash people like us too. We definitely are more in the vein of the TESTAMENT and LAMB OF GOD kind of music. We're a metal band, so I think to have those three genres mentioned into one summary, its fine. I don't want to limit this band. Its heavy as it can be but we also have melody and hooks, which is something that we're proud of. There are a lot of bands out there that don't even have any chorus to the songs. That's not what I'm all about."
