She is married to lead guitarist Michael Amott after all, and now manages the band. Rumors are that they are starting a family and can't both tour at the same time. Angela mentored AWG herself to become her successor. I adore Angela though, she's from around here, and she is really nice in person.
Quote:Yeah, when I was sort of fading from the scene, metalcore and hardcore were getting big around Cleveland. Everything had to have a breakdown in it, which is funny because while that was getting popular, we were moving towards longer prog songs and away from breakdowns. The metalcore kids hated us. I remember playing our set while the next band's drummer sat off to the side of the stge tuning his snare the whole time. We kicked our singer out the day before, so I had to take over. I stopped in the middle of a song to tell their drummer to shut the fuck up- to mixed reaction from the audience. A fight broke out that I started and didnt join in haha It was pretty cool.LOL. I don't hate metalcore like many TRVE Metalheads do. Alissa White-Gluz former band The Agonist are quite amazing for example.
I mostly weep for Alissa having left The Agonist because she is wasting her Chanson talents in AE, but her replacement is also very good (Album coming out next month)
Quote:I couldn't tell you what's popular now as far as metal goes in Cleveland.
Oh and I kinda lied about my last metal album, I've kept up on everything Coheed and Cambria has put out, but I don't really classify them as metal.
Maybe not exactly metal. Prog rock?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
