Interviews: OSYRON

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Metal band, OSYRON, from Canada. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

We just made it up. We wanted something unique that wasn’t a known word already.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

Because we were sick and tired of having too many women all over us that we figured we’d move to this style to make it fair for everyone else. That and metal is something that we’re all incredibly passionate about.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Bobby and Krzysztof have known each other since elementary school. Reed and Tyler have known each other since being teenagers and have had lots of sleepovers. We’re paid to hang out with Cody, so it all works!

4. Each band member favorite band?

Reed: Bach, Soundgarden B-Sides, Oasis

Krzysztof: Metallica, Opeth, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman

Tyler: Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Tesseract, Wintersun

Cody: King Crimson, Yes, Procol Harum, The Police, Styx, and anything Mike Portnoy

Bobby: Metallica, Nightwish, Eluveitie, Symphony X

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

We’re inspired by great melodies, great riffs, and great songwriting. No matter the genre, if you can make a song that sticks in someone’s mind after they’ve heard it, then you’ve nailed it!

6. Where was your last gig?

Dickens at Hazzerd’s CD release show in early 2020. Feels forever ago.

7. Where would you like to act?

Tyler just bought a couch, and he’s holding video auditions on our acting careers. Other than that, we’d love to get across the ocean to Europe, and get on the festival circuit there.

8. Whom would you like to feature with?

A song with Floor Jansen from Nightwish, and Per Nilsson from Scar Symmetry. Playing a live show with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra would be incredible.

9. Whom not?

An Osyron cover band.

10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?

Cody lacks any emotion so it doesn’t bother him, the rest of us think of Reed naked… so it’s either a good time or us just laughing.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Probably the same as our influences/favourite bands above!

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?

To buy one of our albums.

13. What do you think of your fans?

Friggen babes. It means the absolute world to us that they enjoy the music and the live show. Come say hello on our social media, and then hopefully have a beer once live shows start happening again.

14. What do you think of our site?

Fantastic! I love the idea of pushing underground music!

15. Something add?

2 + 2! Our new album, Foundations, is released on July 10th! We have two singles out already, Ignite and The Ones Below, for you to check out as well. Thank you!
