DEVIL'S ISLAND featuring Venice Revive
Welcome to this weeks edition of Devil's Island! Every week we maroon a band or artist on the island and see what they get up to, how they cope with being all alone on a small island in the middle of the ocean. It's not your average desert island and we'll see just how each person copes with the extreme conditions.
This week when we arrived at Devil's Island we find Venice Revive sat on the beach. The island is far from their home, so how did they end up here and how did they cope with life on Devil's Island?
Find out now...
Welcome to The Razors'e Edge and our somewhat lovely, warm desert island. Don't worry about it's name I'm sure it's not as bad as that would suggest.
You're marooned here on this island, but before you ended up shipwrecked you chose one album that you couldn't live without. Which album did you each chose and why?
The first one that comes to mind is Ascendancy by Trivium! Masterpiece of an album, every song in it is great in its own way.
Just behind that palm tree is a shack for each of you to stay in, with enough space for you to put up a poster on the wall of one album cover. What album cover do you each chose?
How bad would it be if I'd say my own album, "Future Paradise"? I just love the artwork I thought of so much, that's why it's mine.
There's also a bar on this here island. But alas each of you only get to choose one drink for the entirety of your stay. What's your tipple of choice?
I didn't touch alcohol in eight years! If it's alcohol-free, I guess I'd go with any sweet cocktail they have there.
Your suitcases were lost when your ship sank, but you each managed to salvage one item of band merch. What’s the merch and for what band?
I have a shirt with the artwork cover of Blackbird by Alter Bridge, that's my favourite shirt, wearing it for like 10 years now.
You’re sat on the island thinking “I’m stuck here on this island with my bandmates for eternity”… who would you rather have been shipwrecked with?
My computer with all my video games installed on it, honestly, better than people!
There's a walkman in your pocket, on the tape inside is the recording of the one live show that stands out for you. It could be any show, from any band, anywhere in the world. What show is on that walkman?
Heaven Shall Burn's performance in Graspop Metal Meeting 2016. I was in tears in that show.
You're getting desperate, you decide the only course of action is to put a message in a bottle and hope someone finds it. Your message could be to any member of any band, but should be the most suitable for a rescue attempt. Who is it?
Honestly without knowing them personally, who knows what they're like? I guess I'd address it to any member of a local band called "Insaint", they're my best friends and I'd always count on them.
You've been stuck here a while and food supplies are running low. There's only one thing for it... which fellow band member gets sacrificed to help the others survive?
Still a solo project.
Finally, when the ship sank you each managed to save one person from the wreckage. That person is the one musician that has influenced your career the most, shaped your way of thinking and your outlook on life. Who did you save?
Matt Heafy of Trivium. Didn't even have to think about that one.
