Your name:
Jonathan Hayward.
Where are you
from?
We're from Winnipeg, Maitoba, Canada.
Name of band:
Dark Messiah.
Who is in
your band?
Dark Messiah is made up of Stephen Chubaty on vocals, Lawrence
Reimer on rhythm guitar, Jared McKnight on bass, Dustin Tyler on drums and
myself on lead guitar.
How would you
describe yourselves and your music?
We're a couple of greasy metalheads who
just love what we do. Our music is heavy duty thrash metal inspired by the
classics.
Who are your
main influences musically?
Let's just say that if Slayer and Judas Priest had a
baby, and then Metallica and Pantera had a baby and those two babies spawned and
that offspring had a threesome with Lamb of God and Zakk Wylde, you'd get Dark
Messiah.
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
We want to take this as far as possible, share our music
with the entire world and play for as many people as we can.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Every chance we get to play in
front of people is a highlight of our career for us. Every time people enjoy
what we do and have a good time listening to us it fuels us. It reminds us of
the one reason we do this in the first place.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
There's ups and downs for us like there is with any
band. It's not so much about the moments you want to forget but how you learn
from those moments and how you move forward. We've had to pick ourselves up
from some setbacks but in the end it's only made us stronger.
If you had to
pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
No Soul To Sell is the first song we ever wrote and sums up our sound. When we
wrote that song it showed us what we have and where we could go as a band. It's
a heavy song with a hook and definitely influenced and inspired what we create
and what we want to accomplish stylistically moving forward.
Where can we
listen to it?
We are currently in the studio recording our debut E.P. We will
have a website up and running shortly before it's release. In the meantime fans
can check out our social media sites for content and footage from our shows.
Where can we
find out more about your music?
Anything else
you’d like to say about your music that I forgot to ask?
We like to let our
live performances and music speak for itself.
