We are Missi Avila (vocals), Coca Avila (guitar), Daniel Todd (drums), Chase Crouch (guitar), and Josh Crawley (bass).<\/p>\n
If you had Your Chance To Die would you? If so, how would you do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Only if it was for a good cause like my kids or something to help fight for the helpless. Oh\u2026 whatever way it came to me I suppose. If I were dying for someone then it wouldn\u2019t really matter\u2026 but I do really hate the idea of drowning.<\/p>\n Where did the band name come from is there a story to tell?<\/strong><\/p>\n It is a modification of a book title \u2018A Chance to Die\u2019 by one of my favorite authors. This book is the autobiography of a missionary to India who rescued little girls and boys from temple prostitution. She really gave her entire life to service and that is our challenge to all.\u2018Your chance to die\u2019 to yourself and live for a greater cause.<\/p>\n Let’s talk music you’ve releaed a demo, EP, and 2 LP’s out of all of that material which do you think is your best work? <\/strong><\/p>\n It would definitely be the new album \u2018Suscitatio Somnus\u2019. It is a culmination of 4 years of hard work, maturation and dedication to becoming better musicians.<\/p>\n Tell me the differences between “Verdict for the Gods” and “Suscitatio Smnus”.<\/strong><\/p>\n When we wrote Verdict we were more of a metalcore band with some deathcore elements. We have grown and matured since that album and now have more of a deathcore\/melodic death sound. What\u2019s interesting is now our newer music (which will go on the 3rd full length) reflects more melodic death and technical death metal.<\/p>\n What do the lyrics consist of?<\/strong><\/p>\n Every song has a different feel and was written for a different group of people. There are songs written for a complacent and dying generation, hypocritical church members, etc. and there is one song that is about child prostitution.<\/p>\n What was it like working with producer Jamie King on the new record?<\/strong><\/p>\n It was just simply amazing. He made us feel comfortable, and he being a perfectionist really gave us a very clean sound. He had lots of good advice for an up and coming band and was all around a great producer to work with.<\/p>\n How do you think he’s helped you guys musically?<\/strong><\/p>\n Honestly, he didn\u2019t change our sound any on the record. That is 100% us, but he gave us that clean sound that really brought out each instrument. He helped us a lot with his knowledge of the music industry though.<\/p>\n You signed with Red Cord Records over the summer, what was running through your mind when it happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n That it was going to be our big break. We knew we had reached with limits of what we could do for ourselves and needed someone to help us take another step up. It was a great move for us.<\/p>\n Which way do you think you liked better self-releasing your first full-length or having it be released through a record label?<\/strong> <\/p>\n It was easier. Distribution happened without us having to do anything. We are now out in Hot Topic and FYE stores as well as on all online sites. They got it where it needed to go and our job has been to sell copies at shows. It has been so much easier than when we tried to self release the first album.<\/p>\n What about shows will you be hitting the road during the remainder of this year or saving it for the New Year?<\/strong><\/p>\n Missi: We\u2019ve got a couple of mini tours planned through the end of the year and we always stay busy on the weekends hitting SC, NC, TN and GA. We are hoping to get down to Florida right after Christmas and have a 2 week tour planned in February for Mexico and Central America.<\/p>\n
