Grigoris Chronis of Metal-Temple.com has issued an interview with rhythm guitarist Ed Archer, from the re-activated US metallers FIFTH ANGEL. The following is an excerpt:

Q: The band’s set at Keep it True festival (Germany) was quite impressive, to be honest. Did you expect you’d finally expose such a high level of performance? The crowd’s response was quite thunderous, too.

A: "Thanks Grigoris, that’s a really nice compliment! Yeah, very nice crowd response, we really did feel very welcomed… and were treated so well! We weren’t sure exactly how things would go with this, there were really a lot of things to it… the fact that this band had never played live, never performed these songs… and band personnel changes, some of them last minute… we were even considering cancelling when Tim blew out his voice in rehearsal. But Peter crammed a lot of ‘learning’ in a short time, and then that damned volcano blew and we thought our flight would be cancelled! I tell you, sometimes it seems like there is ‘something’ that is trying to stop this band from doing anything again! But to get back to your question: we prepared as much as any band could with the circumstances, and I think things came off fine, all things considered. Yeah, we could have done better, but again, first time ever playing for the band, and with a singer that just jumped in a couple weeks before the show… AND… the show was actually the first time that this lineup all played together! John had not been in the rehearsals with Peter since he had to get back to his home in Florida… so yeah, I think we did fine. But, there were very many years in my life where I truly felt that this day would never come… and really didn’t care either way!"
