Interview with
Onus

** Interview conducted by Mike of
Adrenalin Metal Union - January 2008**

BRIAN: The music industry is becoming bloated with metal bands.  I try not to pay attention, unless Morbid Angel comes out with a new record, but it’s hard not to notice just how big metal has become. I think it could go either way. Hope it stays but look what happened last time.

ADRENALIN: I see that you guys played at Milwaukee Metalfest 2004. How did that experience go?

BRIAN: Metalfest was great.  We had a blast, and we laid it down fuckin hard.  We only got 4 songs in but I think we did very well. The reaction from the crowd was really flattering. It was good seeing some old friends there as well.

ADRENALIN: Did you hear any information yet on the NEW Milwaukee Metalfest? I have only heard a little bit but it looks like somebody else is putting it on this year (back at The Rave in June) and is trying to make it cool again.

BRIAN: YES!!!!!!!!  We are definitely going to try our best to get on that bill. I haven’t heard anything but it’s going to be at The Rave again and that Jack Koshik isn't putting it on. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I've played a couple of his shows and always had a good time.

 

ADRENALIN: It says on your website that the band is in search of a keyboardist. What kind of feel do you hope to add with a keyboardist? Any luck on finding somebody yet?

BRIAN: Yea, that site is void. We don't use it at all.  But the Keyboardist idea is still being played around with.  We aren't looking for the guy from Dream Theater or anything, just something to fill it up. We never really made our search official but it would cool to get someone in here.

There are so many places our music and ideas could go with another entity like that in the mix. I couldn't tell you what we'd want it to sound like though (cause that'd be up to them). So I guess we'll see.

ADRENALIN: Any touring plans in the future for you guys?

BRIAN: We're considering some offers right now. But four people with fulltime jobs takin off for a month or so is going to be a little hard. But we'll get out there on way or another. I
