1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that? 

Avery: "I named the band in High School, derived from Greek mythology; it's a metaphor for being under divine power. It's a good representation of internal struggles and triumph.

2. Why did you want to play this genre? 

Metal music is the voice for people who aren't being heard and can't talk about their problems, it's like an extreme sport what we play and feel on stage.

Avery: " my brother and I started jamming and we recruited Bao to play guitar, we've also known Carl from the music scene when he was in other bands. We were all mutual friends at one point.
