What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music, what would you be doing today?Alex (Guitar/Vocals): For me, it started with Nightwish. I wasn't too into music at first, and only really knew whatever was on the radio, or tracks that I'd heard in video games, until I discovered Nightwish, midway through high school. They're still my favorite band now, but obviously my overall music taste has gotten a lot heavier since then, which started with Children of Bodom. I heard their first album, Something Wild, and tracks like Deadnight Warrior, and Touch Like Angel Of Death, instantly gripped me, with the speed of the drums, and the intensity of the guitars, and then my taste in metal just sort of evolved from there.If I hadn't gotten into music, I guess I could still have been into art. I'm far from a professional artist, but I've done bits of concept art for Bloodmores before now, and helped with ideas for the design of our debut album cover, so if I wasn't doing music, I could be more focused on that, I suppose.
