Bringing The Fire With The HUMAN FURNACE From RINGWORM

Interview by Kris Peters
For more than 30 years now Cleveland extreme metal/hardcore legends
Ringworm have been decimating the hearts and minds the world
over.
Their aggressive, uncompromising approach to both music and life
has seen them deliver a consistently high number of unrelenting
albums, with the band now set to expand that repertoire with their
ninth album Seeing Through Fire, out August 18 through Nuclear
Blast Records.
HEAVY tracked down frontman James 'Human Furnace' Bulloch to find
out more, starting with whether the band still gets nervous or
anxious about new albums.
"No, never," he smiled. "We get excited, but I wouldn't say
nervous. We've done this before, and like a lot of bands, this
record was done a long time ago. The record had been done well over
a year ago. It takes a while these days to get a record out, so
we've been sitting on it a while. If anything, it will be a relief.
Finally, this record is out! We're pretty psyched for it. It all
worked out. Sometimes when you're patient... because we were
originally going to put this record out ourselves, because we went
into the studio and recorded it and we were intent on putting it
out ourselves. Then we were patient with it a little bit, and
because of that we were able to connect with Nuclear Blast and they
were all about putting it out and doing it for us, so we were very
excited about that."
In the full interview James talks more about what to expect
musically from Seeing Through Fire, the singles released and how
they represent the album, their music videos and how much thought
goes into them, the different approach the band took on this album
and how it affected the finished product, how this is a new era for
Ringworm, the early days of the band, future plans and more.
