3) Outside of music, what hobby or activity are you most passionate about?
My only real hobbies have ever been music related -- either playing guitar or collecting vinyl. Beyond that for me right now is weightlifting.
4) How does being from Des Moines inform Green Death’s music?
When I was younger, Des Moines wasn’t nearly as “hip” as it has become in the past ten years or so, so there was a lot of boredom. I was pretty much an outcast as far as music tastes go, so I would spend my time discovering a lot of bands and watching horror movies, which I think helped influence the dark themes in our music. I think that most of us just have an appreciation of a wide range of styles, and that pushed us to expand from just straightforward thrash.
5) Who would be on Green Death’s dream tour?
Is it completely lame that we would be the opening band for my dream tour? Heh, well, even so my dream tour would be us opening for Carcass, Paradise Lost, and Glenn Danzig.
