Do you have any hobbies away from the band?
We all have jobs and families and use most of our free time towards our band not a lot of time for hobbies. Our guitarist Joey is trying to get his apprenticeship to be a tattoo artist and is probably the only interesting hobby in the group, but Jesse does all our lyric videos and fliers so the digital thing is kind of his hobby.
Where does Anthems of Imperium mainly play their shows and what is your favorite venue to play?
We play anywhere there are
ears listening and appreciate
any venue giving a metal band
a chance there are limited
venues it seems for metal bands
locally but the few that do in our
area like The Hideaway, The
Casbah, Poor Richards, and The
Mecca Loungeare highly
respected by us for letting our
band and other metal bands from
other metal bands from the area come out and perform. We just got our 6x10 trailer and we are about to head out of town and state on weekends for now so hopefully we will find a lot of venues that can be added to our favorites list.
I know it is tough being in an Unsigned Band. What are some of the obstacles you face?
It's tough as a new band making our debut because there are so
many great bands out there so it is just trying to find our way to
stand out in the crowd, we do work giving out demos inviting people
to shows, sacrificing a lot of time and money for what we feel is a
good cause, and that is making our music heard. Most troubles can
be summed up by financial but we don’t worry about that we just
worry about the next song the next gig and improving ourselves as
