Today our guest is Dakota Reyes from Metal / Hardcore band CLOSE TO NOTHING coming straight from the Upstate NY Capital Region. There will be no big introduction today, because Dakota can tell us much more interesting stuff about the band as me. So, let see. Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: Could you please tell a little bit about story of the band? When you have created it and how you all have got together?
Dakota:At first we did the most sketchy kind of thing possible, our first drummer,(didn’t play a show or record with us) and our current guitar and backing vocalist Cole Anderson met through a craigslist ad I had put up looking to start a Hardcore / Metal band, myself being the vocalist, Cole responded to me saying he and the drummer wanted to do the same thing. So we started our first “practice” with awkward conversation and doing covers of songs we discussed, I then recruited our first bass player who has since tragically passed away Jake Kipling(R.I.P), Cole brought in our second and final piece Nick Mauro on guitar.

Our search around the world for new artist for the project is going on. Our guest today comes from Phoenix, Arizona. Matthew Pero is vocalist and bassist in the Nu-Metal / Metalcore band N O V A. Last year they have released their debut EP ‘Apparitions’ and now there are in the studio working on new material for 2020. But our topic for today is not a music but tattoos so let’s start. Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time until you decided to get it done?
Matthew: I got my first tattoo when I was 19 I was really into inspirational writing at the time so I got a quote by Albert Einstein “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow”. I didn’t take much time at all to decide what I wanted.

2019 is over and it’s time to summarize. Many interesting releases from various bands have been released. Young performers please in spontaneity, desire and new features and the old army is trying to diversify their sound, which brought them success, adding freshness and reaching a new level. Talking about the most populated sub-scene, so this year it was industrial scene as always. The synth scene as usual made a good impression with its arrangements and sound quality, but the compositors’ part was not as successful as several years ago. But first things first…- Details
