MARGIN OF ERROR mastermind Travis Meyers is featured in a new interview with Natalie’s World. An excerpt is available below.

Q: Destroy.Create.Repeat and What You Are About To Witness were both self-released albums. Why did you want to go in this direction?

Travis: "Over the years we have gotten a few offers from labels, but I didn’t feel like they would have aided us in any way. I am a very hands on type of person when dealing with Margin of Error and I have my hands in every decision creatively and from a business standpoint. This is not to say I am opposed to labels, but the right one hasn’t approached us yet. We do things a certain way and for a certain reason at all times and if a label wants to back our heavy, evil music, I am all ears."

Q: Can you give us a brief description of your new CD, What You Are About To Witness?"

Travis: "I came up with the concept for WYAATW while watching some very disturbing films. Films that blurred the line between real deaths and works of fiction. I decided that the basis of this record was going to be from the point of view of a serial killer who taped his victims during their most vulnerable moments. The idea of this killer creating these snuff styled films and having a collection of VHS tapes in which he has recorded each of his killings. I always found a thin line between an artist and a serial killer and I wanted to explore that further. That’s what this record was all about. It’s a concept record, but it still was extremely personal to me because of how much of myself I put into that relentless killer."
