WILLOW ASH - PLAY THIS SHIT LOUD.

What were your beginnings like?

The idea for Willow Ash came to me when I was living in an old haunted-ass farmhouse. I’m not 100% sure what the connection between being terrified of being in my home and writing stoner doom was, but somehow it just clicked for me.

What inspires you?

I love horror, fantasy, the occult, and ancient astronaut theory; these are themes that I write about which are very prevalent in my lyrics and that is most of what inspires me: sex, satan, aliens, drugs, alcohol, local Vermont lore, cryptids, ghosts, and psychological disorders.

Why do you make music?

Because I love music, all kinds of music and I am obsessed with trying to blend genres into “new” forms and styles that suit my interests at the time.  Music is literally my life. It’s the only thing that makes me truly at peace.

What's the album or track of yours you're most proud of, and why?

I think it would be the album Hypnagogia. I spent a lot of time writing and producing that record and it was the first time I actually wrote a full length with a theme that strings throughout the entire thing. It’s just a good 70’s-esque pop record as far as doom metal is concerned. I’m incredibly proud of it.

What are your nearest plans?

Raising my 9 month old daughter is first and foremost for me right now, but I have a few sketches for a new record, also my two side projects, The Coldwell Conspiracy and Veiled Christ-  TCC has an albums worth of music written but no vocals yet and VC has a bunch of lyrics but no music yet. Those may take a while though…

What would you like to say to the world?

You see that friend you have online that is always posting music they’ve written that no one gives a shit about?  Go listen to it. Like the post. Give feedback. This is how musicians thrive and a small gesture from you can change a person’s whole outlook on something that they love but may feel defeated by.

What is your favorite drink?

Yeungling!

TITANOSAUR - Win Another Life!

Titanosaur is NY Hard Rock/Metal. A dash of Monster Magnet, pinch of Red Fang, large dose of Motorhead and some Ramones for good taste all poured over a bed of Black Sabbath!

What were your beginnings like?

Well, i was born in NY Hospital in 1975.  My dad was always working, so, basically from the beginning i was raised by a single mom. 
I grew up in a very musical household.  My uncle's were only about 14 years older than me, and they had a big record collection.  That's where I first heard Led Zeppelin, Queen, Sabbath, Ramones, Sex Pistols and Run DMC.

What inspires you?

I can't not make music.
After a heart surgery in 2009, i stopped making music for about a year.  I went into a deep depression.  Then i picked up my guitar and haven't put it down since.

I get lyrical ideas from mishearing the vocals in other songs, or when i read a phrase that catches my attention.
Music, i just have floating around my head all the time.

Why do you make music?

As above- i can't NOT make music.  It's my medicine, it's like breathing.

What's the album or track of yours you're most proud of, and why?

They're all my babies.  I'm proud of all of them.
If i have to choose, I'll take the easy way out and say that I'm most proud of my newest track, "Eater of Death".  The music is really driving, and keeps my head banging. The lyrics came out of nowhere and flow so well with the rhythms, and there's my favorite lyric in a long time-
"And beat Death at the game
that carries his name
and win another life!"

What are your nearest plans?

In the process of finalizing a new EP, that i hope to release in the fall... So, i guess soon!

What would you like to say to the world?

Be excellent to each other!
... Or something like that. 😁

What is your favorite drink?

I like a good hard pear cider... Mmmm...
