Himsa Quotes

Actually when the name of the band was chosen I wasn’t in the band. They actually started out without a singer. It was just 4 guys basically, amongst other hardcore bands in Seattle that wanted to try something different. At the time, and this was at the end of 1997, they actually asked me if I wanted to sing not knowing that I was moving to New York in a couple of months…

I’ve been friends with most of the guys for maybe 10 years. Old bands that we all played together within the Seattle hardcore scene and whatnot so we already had a family/tight knit family oriented kinda thing. So when I moved back from New York, things weren’t working out with the guy they had, Christian [Schmitt], they asked me if I wanted to join up and I was like, “Not really, because I wasn’t too fond of the first record you put out". It wasn’t really anything…I mean I liked parts of it but I wasn’t really into the whole political thing and whatnot, for me personally. They asked me which parts I liked, “Well more of the metal stuff that you guys are doing". And they’re like, “Well that’s funny because that’s the direction basically that the band is going in!” Like I said before that one of the original members, Aaron Edge, he came up with the name but he left the band. He was one of the main writers and guitar player, so the kid that came in and filled his place had more of a metal influence than him [Edge]. The stuff they were writing which actually became the Death Is Infinite EP that I debuted on was actually more of the stuff I wanted to play which was more of a Swedish Metal sounding kinda thing, so I liked what they were doing. Once I joined, then another guitar player left [snickers, then clears his throat]
