Interview With Eulogy By Matt Bladen
MoM: Give us an introduction to the band for anyone that doesn't know you. Band name, members, style etc?
Eulogy: Previously a three piece for many years we are now a four piece after second guitarist joined during the lockdown in January 2021. We play ass kicking hard rock music with melodic chorus and dark lyrics. Band members are as follows: Neil Thomas - Vocals and Bass, Mike Williams – Guitars, Brian Perkins - Guitars and Darran Goodwin – Drums.
MoM: Elephant in the room. How have you coped with the pandemic? What have you been up too?
Eulogy: Over the pandemic we have been very busy writing new tracks for forthcoming album and sharing with band members online. We have taken part in some virtual rock festivals and featured on Keep Wales aLive Music event. Our drummer Darran was hospitalised with Covid in December 2020 and was on critically unwell on ventilator for many weeks - he is now thankfully on the road to recovery and rehearsing with the band again so we can retire off our laptop drummer – though he was a better time keeper and didn’t argue back

MoM: What experience have you had with Bloodstock/M2TM in the past?
Eulogy: We have entered the M2TM heats at Fuel for the past few years and had some really good experiences playing there and also some great feedback. Unfortunately we have not gone through to the final…. but one day hey.

MoM: How are you feeling entering this slightly restructured M2TM format?
Eulogy: It’s a real shame we have to socially distance and not just cram in there and play to a full, sweaty crowd but at least it’s a gig as we a desperate to get back out there and play some live music to an actual audience rather than online. Hopefully the live events will go ahead and not the plan B recording but I guess we gotta take whatever comes next.

MoM: What would it mean to play Bloodstock? Would it be more significant doing so this year, after everything that's happened with live music?
Eulogy: It would be absolutely awesome to play such a prestigious and crazy festival especially after a whole year of no playing live gigs. The fans and bands will be going fucking crazy and will be one hell of a party, that Eulogy want to be part of.
MoM: Give us a three word rundown of what to expect in your performance?

Eulogy: “Rock’n Fuckin Roll”
Final Thought: Can the hard rock sound of Eulogy win over the Metal To The Masses? We'll have to wait and see.
