BFM:Hi! I'm Zoham! you're with Beer Friendly Music from Thailand, could you say something to our reader?
DxBxTxCx:Hi everybody out there! Nice to talk to you!!
BFM:From the beginning, could you tell me about the feeling of the latest gig you've been played?
DxBxTxCx:Ohh we are on tour at the moment, playing shows through Europe with Obituary! The last nights have been totally great! We were able to play in big venues, in front of big crowds and lots of people who haven't seen us yet and the response was just overwhelming! So we feel really lucky right now and can't wait for the other shows to come!
BFM:Did you ever get interviewed from the D.I.Y. Fan/blogzine like mine before?
DxBxTxCx:Yes we sometimes do interviews for D.I.Y. magazines or blogs! We are all music fans on our own and so we really appreciate D.I.Y fanzines! They are always really honest and close to the fans and don't need big commercial deals or anything like that which is great!
BFM:Now, could you tell the small scale of the band's Bio?
DxBxTxCx:We started as kids around 2006 and got to know each other in school. Since then we were playing shows and writing songs until our music got heavier and faster by time. We released our first demotape in 2010 which already got recognition by media and magazines. After we won the German Version of Wacken Metal Battle we recorded our first album. After the recording we got signed by Napalm Records who released our debut! After that we played lots of shows and we were touring a lot until we released Awake the riot, our second Album, in 2014. Since then we were doing headliner shows nearly each weekend in 2014 and did some festivals and now we are on the road with Obituary in Europe and talking to you! ;)
BFM:What came to the name of 'Dust Bolt'? It just a random name? I loved the way of using 8 letters to name the band (Like Megadeth, Overkill or Evil Dead)
DxBxTxCx:haha, yeah to be honest it was some kind of random name, but we liked the idea of having a name which has not a specific meaning yet. Our aim was to find a meaning by time and let everybody interpret their own thoughts on Dust Bolt. But we sometimes also say that it might be a mega man weapon!
BFM:How was the Thrash in Bavarian area back in around 2000's?
DxBxTxCx:How many people approximately attended to the show in your Local show? We can't really tell as far as we are still very young and born in the 90ies. So we can only tell something about the Thrash scene in Bavaria the last 5-7 years and they have been great! There are lots of great young bands coming out of our area that released great albums such as Toxic Waltz or Battlecreek!
BFM:How do you feel when you known the band got signed with the label like Napalm Records?
DxBxTxCx:It was a great feeling of course! Signing to a label doesn't mean you can relax, it's the opposite. YOu have to work even harder and go pout there and play shows! But having a good label such as Napalm Records really supports you in a great way! It opened the possibility to listen to our music to people on the whole planet and we are very thankful for that! Working with the Napalm guys is really great and easy, we really enjoy it!
BFM:How's the feedback for the debut and A.T.R.?
DxBxTxCx:the Feedback has been great! All the feedback from the fans and the magazines gave us real motivation! And coming to a place we haven't been before and having people there knowing your songs is a dream that came true for us!
BFM:As being a part of Beastival 2013, how did you feel about playing with the Teutonic 4 (Destruction, Kreator, Sodom and Tankard)?
DxBxTxCx:It was a great pleasure of course! The festival was full of Thrash maniacs and we loved to watch the shows of our four idols!
BFM:If you can pick up the bands to be the Next Teutonic 4 of German Thrash Metal, which one will you pick
DxBxTxCx:haha.. hmm let me think.. Battlecreek, Toxic Waltz, Dust Bolt and Mynded.
BFM:What is the Best and the Worst thing that ever happened on Dust Bolt's live shows?
DxBxTxCx:It's hard to think of a bad thing.. of course you have sometimes technical difficulties or something like that which can be really annoying but apart from that every show in our life has been great!
The best thing is to see the audience having fun and getting touched by the music you play.
BFM:Did the members have a full-time job or still studying?
DxBxTxCx:
Well, three of us are studying and our drummer has a full time job, but he has a great boss who is ok with him being away few more weeks in the year than usual. But we also do little jobs to pay our rents and stuff. It's sometimes hard to combine all these things and there isn't much free time left then, but we love what we do and are willing to work hard for our dream.
BFM:Is it difficult for being a touring band, like being away from you parents, Girlfriends or something else?
DxBxTxCx:Of course it's sometimes difficult, because you miss a lot of events such as birthdays, etc etc and it becomes harder and harder to find time for our friends and/or girlfriends. Only one of us has a relationship at the moment, but his girlfriend kind of got used to the fact that we are away quiet often. But it definitely has to be a very strong relationship, otherwise it wouldn't be possible. Having a musician as your boyfriend isn't always that easy haha ;)) But in general we absolutely love touring and visiting the world and new places and getting to know lots of great people!! There's no better thing!
BFM:How did you get into metal music back then, did you have parent of siblings being musician?
DxBxTxCx:It was different for each member I think, but I personally discovered metal music by myself! And then a friend gave me some Cds and stuff and I could't stop listening to it !
BFM:Which thrash musicians inspired you?
DxBxTxCx:Mille Petrozza, Sepultura, CHuck Schuldiner (thouh it's Death Metal)
BFM:Did your Parent have any opinion about playing Thrash Music and touring?
DxBxTxCx:They always supported us!! The first time of the band they even had to drive us to the gigs because no one of us did have a driving license because we were just too young haha
BFM:Name the 5 best albums that you loved most!
DxBxTxCx:hard to name 5, there are maaaany more
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
Death - INdividual thought patterns
Kreator - Extreme Aggression
Black Sabbath - any album
Led Zeppelin - any album
DxBxTxCx:Ohhh, we are from Bavaria which is kind of the hometown of beer haha. My favorite is Tegernseer or Ayinger. So Bavarian beer!
BFM:We're almost done. did you have any plans to bring Dust Bolt to play in South East Asian area and Thailand?
DxBxTxCx:We haven't got any concrete plans yet but we would love to do it! And we will see what the future brings! We hope to be able to play there as soon as possible!!
BFM:Last and not least, Give some strong words for those who about to Thrash (And those did it half-assedly)
DxBxTxCx:Keep thrashin, support young bands, go to live shows, join the riot and have a good time with your friends! Take care of each other!
