Metal To The Masses 2021 Interviews: Suns Of Thunder (Interview By Matt Bladen)

 

MoM: Elephant in the room. How have you coped with the pandemic? What have you been up to?

 
Suns Of Thunder: We were in the studio when the first lockdown came in and we were very fortunate to get back in to record demos for the new album in between lockdown's. It has been a killer not making noise though, we had a few zoom call's but it is not the same. We did a bit of recording and sent ideas back and forth. If I had left it any longer my hearing would have grown back. ha. The rest of the boys worked throughout the entire thing, I'm a Technician in a Theatre so it was a little different for me. I had all the homeschooling crap to deal with. Teachers do not get paid enough. FACT

MoM: What experience have you had with Bloodstock/M2TM in the past?

Suns Of Thunder: Zero man, nawt, naddy, zip. Never Been...It looks amazing! We were lined up to play the M2TM heats last year but this shit storm kicked off last year 

MoM: How are you feeling entering this slightly restructured M2TM format?

Suns Of Thunder: I think it's all gonna be a bit odd for everyone at first but everyone is gaggin' for gig's and human interaction again. Can't wait to play a packed room again. It's always good looking out on a crowd and seeing smiles 5. What would it mean to play Bloodstock? Would it be more significant doing so this year, after everything that's happened with live music?

It would be huge for us to play bloodstock, we have definitely paid our dues, over the years we've travelled thousands of miles in shitty vans. Suns started in 2000 and we kinda missed our 20 year anniversary last year....let's face it last year was about as much use as a wet fart. Onwards and upwards, we are back in the studio this summer to record our 6th Studio album, 10 new bangers ready to go. 

MoM: Give us a three word rundown of what to expect in your performance?

Suns Of Thunder: TINNITUS BOWEL MOVEMENT (Sorry that's the best I could think of) 

Final Thought: I think Boogie Riff Rock is a better three word description of Suns Of Thunder, could be a dark horse.
