Interview with Excursia – Heat 1, M2TM, Fuel Rock Club, Cardiff 8th March 2024
1. Let’s start with introductions. Who is who and what does each person do in the band?
Excursia is comprised of Adam Rapado on vocals, Sam Hill shredding guitar, Scott Price on Bass, and Dylan Jarvis blasting Drums
2. Where are you from and how long have you been together?
The band was formed in 2016. However, our current line up (excluding Sam) have joined the band within the last 2 years.
3. Describe your music in five words.
Energetic, Aggressive, Progressive, Political, and Patritoic
4. What prompted you to apply to be part of Metal to the Masses – South Wales?
M2TM is a great opportunity to showcase our new sound to more audiences, needless to say about the opportunity of playing one our favourite festivals of the year.
5. If you have played Metal to the Masses before, tell us about your previous experiences and importantly, why you’ve returned!
Previously Excursia have had good success in the competition. However, with our new songs, new vocalist, and new direction, we’re hoping for the same success, if not more.
6. Bloodstock is a big festival – have you attended the festival in the past? If so, what would you say are the best things about the weekend?
We’ve never been as it can be difficult to afford going to these festivals if you’re not playing whilst striving to become professionally sustaining musicians, so winning this competition would also give us a chance to enjoy the metal family experience that bloodstock is so well known for
7. Apart from Metal to the Masses, what do you have planned for 2024?
We’ve got big plans in the pipe-line for 2024. We have a single releasing every month between January and March; a tour also in March across North England, South Wales, and Bristol; and we’re also continuing to write, as we gear up for time in the studio.
8. What can we expect from you in your heat?
A lot of sweat, blast beats, and shredding.
9. And what are you expecting in your heat and journey through the competition?
People may die. But, that's a sacrifice we’re willing to make.
10. Finally, where can people find details of the band – promote your socials here!
