2.Any Unreleased Fistula recordings?
Yes there are some unreleased fistula tracks. One is a song called "Hope You Know" It is online if anybody wants to check it out, and we did a Halloween show a few years back where we played covers of D.R.I.'s "Commuter Man" and "Couch Slouch", Nirvanas "Tourettes",Cauliflower Ass And Bob's "Worthless Ass hole", we have not released any of those yet, i think we might in the future, who knows.

3.Did Fistula ever Tour? 
Fistula used to Tour as much as we could, maybe 2 or 3 tours of a couple weeks a piece, but that's about it, up and down the East Coast, nothing out west or anything, but we played countless shows between the small Tours!!!!! We toured with SofaKingKIller for 2 of our tours, that's how i hooked up with Burns, which turned into Bahb, and I touring with Rue for about 3 weeks when we decided to give Fistula a break around 2003.

4.How did this sickness begin?
Fistula started in 99 actually end of 98, our bass player had kidney failure and was going to dialosis 3 times a week and could not hack it, we didn't blame him, it was just hard enough for him to live at that point, his name is Ryon Davis, he also played in KingFireGoat with us. Bahb moved home from New York, he was playing in a band called Nasal Drip, AAron and I hooked up with Bahb after not seeing him in like 5 or 6 years, and what came out when we jammed was crazy!!!!!!!! We were all friends since like the age of 12, so it was natural for us to be playing together, we played basement shows galore!!!!! People hated us cuz we didn't care, we would make noise for like 30 minutes straight, break glass, throw stuff at the crowd, we seriously didn't even care if we even played notes at first, it was all about just anti-music at that point.

5. What's the word on Ultralord?
Ultralord, well, we just recorded an album with Vince Burke from Beaten Back To Pure at his old studio in Virginia,  he is amazing!!!!!! The album will be coming out on This Dark Reign/Devildoll Records, Long Beach,California, sometime in January 2006, the band consists of Andy Strickland(ex-Rune,ex-Rue,ex-23rd Chapter)Scott Stearns(Die Hard,MadManMundt,King Travolta,Necrodamus,Accept Death)Bahb Branca(Fistula,Rue,KingFireGoat,Eyes of Sin)ANd Corey(Fistula, ex-Rue,KingfireGoat,Black Mayonnaise,Accept Death,King Travolta) Scott and I are 1/2 done with the new material, but we are sooo busy with other projects and personal things we are going thru, Ultralord will resume again in the next few months.

6.Tell us about Son Of Jorel, and the connection with Rwake (Performing with CT) and the Foreseen future.
Son of Jor-el was formed about 2 years ago, with myself and Big Metal Dave(Soulless, Acsension,King Travolta) We then recruited Scott Stearns and we were talking to Ct from Rwake about this project and we just decided to send the tracks to him and he would do the vocals, and the result is the first split 7" that is comming out on Shifty,Heretic, and Underdogma Records, it is with longtime friend Erik Larson. Ct is my brother for life!!!!!!!!! Since the first time Rwake and Fistula played together is was on!!!!! There is an unspoken kinship i share with that dude, and all of the band, they are very nice people, Ct and i have talked about playing live with S.O.J., and we will, we just sent him 3 more songs that he will do in the next coming months, he just sent me the 2nd song and that will be a split 7" with Sourvein!!!!!!!!!!!! We will take our time with this project and in the future we will definately unleash this live when we have enough material.

7.When did you decide to start making music? 
I decided to start making music when i was 15, draping blankets over an amp in my room to get that real low tone and turning my strings down so they sounded like huge cables being plucked thru a100000 what devil drive!!!!!!!!!! After i heard That sound, i had to make more music

8.What is King Fire Goat?
King FireGoat is an improv, on the spot, no holds barred free for all, we have 2 guys working the noise aspect which are Mike Duncan(Black Mayonnaise) and B.D. Neville(Season of Discontent,Dahmer,Scarvers Calling) Kieth Double(Rooster) Drums, myself-guitar, Bahb-bass, Scott-guitar,Steve Barcus-vocals, it has had a revolving door of people, but the core remains in tact!!!!! We have done shows with Calamus, 400 Blows, Pennance,AxCx,Abdullah,Social Infestation...etc...we are starting to get KFG back together right now since Brian will be home for Dec. We want to do some shows with Lockweld, This band will always be improvisational, we come up with the best feelings that could not be captured in a studio, the only recordings that can be done are on the spot, nothing else.King Fire Goat will crush you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This band will tap into emotions you thought did not exist, or have not felt in eons, it is the subconscience that needs to be awakened, it is the closet door you need to open when you are too afraid.

9. Explain Black Mayonnaise
Black Mayonnaise is a one man doom project that has been around making killer tones for nearly over a decade now, i remember seeing his tapes in the old Relapse mail order paper catalogs back around 97, hell maybe even before that, anyway Fistula used to do shows with Mike Duncan, especially the benefits for the homeless Food Not Bombs shows in Akron Ohio, We would hang out with Duncan at other shows, and Black Mayo, and Lockweld and Fistula shows as well, we just became really good friends thru the years and Mike is one of theee most spectacular dudes i have ever had the pleasure of being friends with, and now I'm jamming in black Mayo with Scott, we are honored, it is now a 3 piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. Tell me about your newest project Accept Death.
Accept Death was originally supposed to have Makita from Apt 213 and Lockweld on Vocals, but Apt 213 got back together and he didnt have the time, so Makita kept bugging us to call Matt Rositano from the evil Legends Hemdale!!!!!! We were busy as fuck for soo long and we then finally jammed with Matt and the result was the sickest music i have ever made!!!!!!!!! Matt is the shit!!!! Scott and i walked into the rehearsal spot and this dude just comes with the Heavy!!!! I mean i looked at Scott and this grin just went from ear to ear!!!!!! Accept Death is low as fuck, and very fast at times too, i guess you cant jam with a dude from Hemdale and expect it to be slow all the time!!!!

We just signed to Retribute Records out of the U.K. and we are very excited about Chris's enthusiasm toward this band and the music. We will be recording in March and start doing some shows after that, probably alot of shows!!!!!

11.Tell me the story of who or what King Travolta is
King Travolta started about a few years ago, Fistula was going to record, but Bahb had to go out of state, so AAron and i got Dom from Sloth to play bass and do vocals, and we went to the studio, no rehearsal, a shitload of liquor and the result was the 5 tracks we did on the Crushers Killers Destroywers II on Shifty, after that i decided to keep it going, getting 3 different people the next time around and put out a 50 copy release of another king travolta, it is just meant to have a good time and just have fun, not getting too serious at the same time letting the frustration out and telling these worthless fucking backstabbers how it is, and we will not forget, ever. it is another outlet where instead of killing someone, we can just tell them how fucking lame they are in our music, and then i dont get even more of my freedoms taken away by doing something stupid.
(The remainder of this interview is too intense to not be in caps)
THE NEW kING TRAVOLTA "KILL, FUCK,METAL" WAS RECORDED AT VIRGINIAS SNIPER STUDIOS WITH VINCE BURKE, AND IN CLEVELAND AT ROCK SOLID RECORDINGS WITH CARL AND ROB. i HAVE A SLEW OF GUEST VOCALISTS ON THE NEW ONE, CT-RWAKE AND SCOTT-HOPE AND SUICIDE ARE DOING A SONG NOW, CT SAID SCOTTS VOCALS ARE INCREDIBLE, ERIK LARSON DID A SONG, BEN HOGG DOES A SONG, JAMIE FROM BOULDER FINISHED A SONG, BRIAN FROM MEATJACK IS FINISHING UP HIS SONG, CHARLIE FROM MUGWART, ROB STEVENS FROM 100,000 LEAGUES UNDER MY NUTSACK, ETC, GERM?

12.Where does all the filth spawn from?
OHIO

13. In your opinion,What is going on in Ohio to make it the spawning pools of sickness?
OHIO IS JUST A WEIRD PLACE, IT IS A HOT BED FOR ALL THINGS HEAVY IN MUSIC, IT IS HOT AS FUCK IN THE SUMMER, GREY ALL THE OTHER TIMES, COLD AS FUCK RIGHT NOW, AND THE HUMAN RACE IS ALWAYS THERE TO ANNOY US ALL, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS JUST INSIDE YOU IF YOU ARE FROM HERE, ITS NOT ALL"I HATE THE WEATHER" ITS, MY CAR IS A PIECE, IT GETS COLD MY SHIT BREAKS, MY SKIN CRACKS EVERYDAY, IT BLEEDS, MY HOUSE IS COLD, I PAY A SHITLOAD JUST TO KEEP MYSELF FROM FREEZING, GAS PRICES ARE UP AROUND HERE, THE COPS ARE DAMN NEAR EVERYWHERE, ITS JUST ENOUGH TO PISS YOU OFF ETERNALLY, BUT THE GOOD FRIENDS I HAVE MADE FROM HERE, I WOULDNT TRADE FOR THE WORLD, THE MUSIC I HAVE MADE WITH OHIO ARTISTS IS FUCKING UNFORGETABLE, ITS JUST ITS OWN THING, OHIO IS THE SHIT!!!! COLD AS FUCK, BUT I KEEP COMMING BACK FOR MORE, I MUST BE A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT.

14 What is your connection to the Nutsack?
100000 LEUAGUES UNDER MY NUTSACK, I MET ON A ROOF TOP DURING AN AIRSHOW IN CLEVELAND MANY MANY YEARS AGO, THE MEMBERS OF INTEGRITY WERE THERE, IF THAT TELLS YOU HOW LONG AGO IT WAS, WE WERE ALL DRINKING KILLIANS AND THIS DUDE STARTED RAMBLING ABOUT HOW ALL THE DUDES IN BOULDER AND KEELHAUL WERE GAY, AND I WAS LIKE "MAN I CANT BELIEVE THIS GUY" HE WAS TOTALLY TALKING SHIT ABOUT THEM, AND THEN COME TO FIND OUT, HE IS REALLY GOOD FRIENDS WITH ALL OF THEM, HE WOULD COME UP TO ME AND ASK ME IF I KNEW MUSIC? OR IF I KNEW HOW HE CONTROLLED IT ALL, HE WAS A FUCKING DICK!!! THEN WE BECAME FRIENDS AND STARTED HANGING OUT, THEN WE STARTED COLLABORATING ON MUSIC, ROB IS THE CONTROLLER OF ALL!!!!! HE IS DR. BEREZIUM, MAXAR BEREZIUM, IF YOU GET INVOLVED WITH HIM HE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, BELIEVE ME,ALL KIDDING ASIDE, DONT ROLL HIS DICE, YOU WILL REGRET IT.
