Zero
Hour
Zero Hour is a really impressive
band coming to us from the U.S. Recently they released their latest musical
endeavor that bears the suitable, for their music, title "A Fragile Mind"...
So, let's hear out what Jasun answered to our questions concerning the
band and their future goals...
1. Please accept my congratulations on
the very impressive album that you have released! Can you tell us the very
latest news from Zero Hour?
Jasun: The latest news to share with everyone
is Zero Hour has a new vocalist with Chris Salinas (Formerly of Power of
Omens). The band will have a new release out in 2006 titled "Specs of Pictures
Burnt Beyond" and we are very, very excited to get this CD out to everyone.
2. You started the band back in 1993, so can
you tell us why you chose this name for the band?
Jasun: We were rehearsing one day and we had
to leave because it was getting late and everyone had work the next day.
I said man wouldn't be awesome to have never-ending time to music and Troy
said Zero Hour. So that's how the name came about and means never-ending
time to your dreams.
3. Are you satisfied so far with the progress
of the band?
Jasun: We feel stronger than ever with the
band and very excited about the future. I wish we didn't have the downtime
from The Towers of Avarice to A Fragile Mind but things happen for a reason.
4. Tell us, some details from your latest album
"A fragile mind".
Jasun: It's great to have the CD out and have
Zero Hour back in the scene. We love doing music and look forward to many
more recording and getting back out playing live.
5. As far as the lyrics, what things inspire
you?
Jasun: Erik wrote the lyrics for Metamorphosis
and The Towers of Avarice. A Fragile Mind was written lyrically by Fred
and Troy and unfortunately they’re not present to share their thoughts.
6. If I remember correctly you have participated
in the ProgPower Festival. Can you tell us your experiences from that live
show?
Jasun: Yeah we played ProgPower Europe 3,
ProgPower 1 and 3 USA and all were amazing events. The Progpower Europe
show was awesome!! After the third song a large part of the crowd chanted
USA-USA-USA and it was probably the best feeling we've ever experienced
to this day. I had the biggest smile and you dream about moments like that.
7. So far are you satisfied with the help from
Sensory Records?
Jasun: Sensory has been good to Zero Hour
and we have a name in the genre because of their help. So we appreciate
Ken and Sensory's support.
8. What is your wildest dream for Zero Hour?
Jasun: To do a full blown tour with TOOL!!
That would be amazing!
9. Any plans to make some live appearances
in Europe?
Jasun: There will be plans in the future for
playing out in Europe. Once we have "Specs of Pictures Burnt Beyond". The
band looks so forward to supporting the disc and we love playing in Europe.
10. Do you know any bands from the Greek metal
scene?
Jasun: I really don't know many bands from
Greece and I would love to hear about some great acts out that way. Always
into killer new music.
11. Have you got any new tunes ready from the
upcoming album?
Jasun: We have a 2 minute clip up on our website
www.zerohourweb.com
under media. The song is called "Evidence of The Unseen" and please take
a listen and let us know your thoughts.
12. Thank you for your time and hope one day
to see you in Greece!
Jasun: Thank you for the helping spread the
word about Zero Hour. We would love to play in Greece and chat it up with
the metal fans that way. METAL!!
