Exclusive interview with Doubting Thompson

To my readers please give a warm welcome to Doubting Thompson


1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group?

Where is the band from?


Doubting Thompson is a one-man crossover/thrash metal studio project. It started in Illinois but is currently based in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.


2- Revelations is the band's latest EP, how long did it take to write?


It was written and recorded over the space of a couple years with pauses to work on other projects.


3- What musical influence inspires the bands compositions?


Thrash bands like Coroner, Slayer, and Megadeth and also shred players like Yngwie Malmsteen.q


4- The group started in 2015, can you tells us how did you all meet?


I started the project as an offshoot of a couple of other collaborative projects.


5- The new album title is Revelations,  can you give us details about the content and more in depth meaning to this title?


Doubting Thompson is a play on words about being atheist, so the title is kind of a play on that. The lyrical content of the songs are observations about problems I see in politics and society so the title is referencing those things as well.


6- Each member of this project is part of another band, how do you maintain a good balance working together?


I work by myself so basically I have to make sure that all of my personalities get along when I'm working.


7- Have you performed any shows in your area? if so, how receptive and supportive are the people to your music?


I haven't been doing shows because Doubting Thompson is strictly a studio project at the moment. That could change in the future with the right personnel.


8- Are there any upcoming shows or tours you can tell us about?


No live performances are in the works currently, however I am working on new material for my next release.


9- Thanks for your participation, finally, what is the best way to get a hold of the band, in case someone wants to book or promote the band?

Any final words?


The Doubting Thompson Facebook page has all of my contact info. For best response, my email is ffrroghh@yahoo.com. Lastly, I'd just like to say I'm excited about the opportunity to have my latest release on SLIPTRICK RECORDS and I am hard at work on new material so the best is yet to come!

Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style? I always felt kind of different to all other children… it was a little problematic, because they didn’t understand my way
