Shaun Glass Interview

    Hello everyone. Hope you all are doing well. Sorry for lack of posts, being feeling unwell. But I think this post will make up for it. I had the pleasure of chatting with Shaun Glass of the upcoming band Repentance. Was so cool getting to talk to him. Hope you all enjoy.


So first off, i wanted to ask what your upbringing in music was? Did you listen to a certain genre or did you check out a bit of everything?

"I grew up on Rock first bands like KISS were my first real love and introduction to hard music then I went full bore into REAL Heavy Metal like Judas Priest,UFO,Scorpions,Motörhead then as those bands began to get soft with the rise of hair metal and I was much more into newer acts like Venom,Mercyful Fate,Anvil, & Metallica..
Obviously I liked other genres then and still do  love bands like the Cure,Depeche Mode,Mission uk,Sisters Of Mercy."


Did any of those bands kind of influence your style of how you play, and did anyone inspire you?

"Absolutely everyone of them played a role in shaping my style sound and visions.

My Father inspired me because he believed in me and let me chase my crazy dream to be a musician...College really doesn’t teach you that ha!"

That's awesome! 

So some people reading this may not know about the band you're in, Repentance. Can you give a little background about how you guys got together and what your style is?

"Well I‘be been in a few bands some may have heard of Soil,Dirge Within probably the two most known bands I formed and played in... Repentance came together a year ago with my desire to just write something really Heavy and not care about trends etc.

Our first gig was opening for Trivium in Illinois and we released some demos to n YouTube and a few singles on all the typical digital outlets.We are currently recording a full album for 2020!!!"

I've heard the singles you guys have released and i am so excited for this album. I wish you guys all the best.

As we wrap up a here, i have a couple more questions. Do you have any advice for those who may have the same dream you did and aren't sure how to get started?

"Thanks glad they impressed you. My advice is work hard and write songs as that’s the key.GOOD stuff shines and Hard Work is the key and whenever you face a downer move on and kill it!"

Very good advice indeed.

So last thing, besides the new Repentance album, do you have anything else we can expect in 2020?

"Check out a few killer acts I manage both have new albums out!"

Arrival Of Autumn - Harbinger

Skinlab - Venomous
