Interview with Spider <\/p>\n

1. Would you like to tell us how you get in the music biz?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I fell in love with music at an early age and just thought being in a band looked like the coolest thing in the world. So, I started making music with friends and that led to playing shows and putting out independent records, which attracted the interest of bigger labels. There was never a plan, things just happened slowly over time.<\/p>\n

2. How does affect you the fact that you\u2019re the brother of Rob Zombie? Does this make your life easier or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wouldn’t say it makes life easier. He is my brother, just the same as anyone one else who has a brother.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0How did you decide to cover \u201cRelax\u201d in 2001?
<\/strong>
We were asked by the producers of the movie ‘Zoolander’ if we would cover the song. It seemed like a fun challenge, so we gave it a shot.<\/p>\n

4. What made you firing M.33 guitarist in the period 2006 \u2013 2007?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was not fired. It was just a case of the band moving in one direction and him in another. It was much more a mutual decision than anything else.<\/p>\n

5. What about your new album, how would you describe it in musical and lyrical levels?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This new record is the best thing I have ever done! I feel like the band has come back to what we do best and what the fans want from us. It is a great mix of electronics, big metal riffs and Sci Fi themes. I love mixing movie, comics and other pop culture references with music and there is a ton of that on this record.<\/p>\n

6. What kind of new elements can we find in your new album?
<\/strong>
For this record we have come back to a sound we are most known for. So, it is actually more of a return to form. It is a perfect blend of heavy with electronic dance elements.<\/p>\n

7. Are you going to shoot any video for your new album?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, we shot a video for the track “Super Villain” and we are in the process of editing now.
\u00a0\u00a0
8. Is there any specific concept in this album?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A quote from H G Wells sums it up best, “Man is the unnatural animal, the rebel child of nature.”<\/p>\n

9. Are there any plans for touring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m on tour right now!<\/p>\n
