interview with MALICIOUS INTENT

What’s the name of your band? MALICIOUS INTENT

How was the band formed? MI itself is the brain child of Nick Lloyd, Harry Molton and Christian Elvins. Back in late 2009 the three of them sat down and just spoke about putting together a band, and by early 2010 a full line-up was established through general nights out at our mutual watering hole and home stage of Bristol Bierkeller, where contacts and ideas were discussed. All members, past and current have been in bands prior (Between The Embers, Fallen Divinity, A Plague of Deception) and for whatever and or numerous reasons they all disbanded, and in the wake of those bands vanishing from the South West of England’s metal scene, we all banded together. The original line-up is not what you see today, we’ve gone through 3 drummers (Nick Lloyd, James Bulteel, and Joe Christmas) and are currently on our 4th; Danny “Charfield” Smith, as well as dropped from a double guitarist band, to a single guitarist band with the exit of Christian Elvins leaving the guitar duty to Daniel Attrill, then back up to a double with Christians return. The same applies with the vocalists, we started with one (Brad Mullen) then went to two to include Kyle Mortiss, now are back at one due to health issues with Brad. It’s been a tumultuous 4 years as you can imagine, but MI is essentially a band that is an amalgamation of now defunct bands united into one powerhouse.

What can you tell about your band? We’re different. We’re very similar to a lot of bands active currently, but we got something that stands out. We’re not entirely sure what it is, but when people have come to shows they’ve felt it, and have said it themselves “why aren’t you guys on bigger stages?!” We’ve been dubbed the “Ferocious Metal Assault from Bristol” due to our energy and impact of presence and sound when performing and to top that off we’ve got an image, which a lot of bands don’t really care for these days. Malicious Intent aren’t just musicians really, we’re performers.

Where are all band members from? /Who does what in the band? Harry Molton – Bassist, is from Bristol, UK. Christian Elvins – Guitarist, is from Bristol, UK. Daniel Attrill – Guitarist, is from Wantage, UK. Danny “Charfield” Smith – Drummer, is from Charfield, UK. Kyle Mortiss – Vocalist, is from Bristol, UK.

What was the ambition(s) of the band when you started? To add variety to the local scene and have fun, but over time that has changed. Not entirely, more precise, we’d say it’s evolved. We’ve given variety now, and have claimed our mark on the South West of England, and are looking to grow elsewhere. Our goal is to always just enjoy ourselves, and in turn let people find something they themselves can enjoy also, but in the last year or so, we’ve thought about being a band. Actually being a band, not just another group of guys that play music every now and then, but being an actual band. Inspire, encourage, and entertain. All of that.

Could you explain your music to someone that hasn’t heard you? Groove metal! What people from both the UK and the USA have said is we’re a mixture of Chimaira and Lamb of God, but with a heavy dose of Devildriver, Machine Head, Slayer, Dope, and Slipknot, thrown in for good measure. Individually we all have different backgrounds, covering a large number of genres, from Death Metal to Hip-Hop, we all listen to various spectrums of the music world and we bring it all together. One fan of ours, a lovely lass from the USA named Jennifer Montero described us as “If Lamb of God and Machine Head had a love child, and was fronted by the baby of Randy Blythe and Corey Taylor, you have Malicious Intent” which in all honesty is probably one of the greatest honours ever

Where was your first gig? Way, way back in 2010. We all can’t remember when exactly, but it was at The Croft venue in Bristol (before it closed down, which is a massive shame for our home city, that place was awesome!) and we played to a handful of people. We were just some new band on the scene and no one really cared. But we played, and during our set people came flooding in nearer the end of the set. Since then people really loved us, asking us when we’re playing next, all the time. This was before Kyle Mortiss joined the band, and we had the original line-up of Nick Lloyd, Daniel Attrill, Christian Elvins, Harry Molton, and Brad Mullen. We’ve come leaps and bounds since then.

Where was the latest gig? Our latest gig was our return to the local scene at The Gryphon, Bristol’s Metal and Ale bar. We were on a short hiatus due to losing a drummer, but we’re now back at it. We’ve got a couple shows, some quite big, later in November. 23rd of November we’re supporting the band TRAPT at the Exchange in Bristol, and on the 29th of November we’re going up country to Cheltenham, to share the home stage of our friends BROKEN JAW.

Who writes your songs?/Who writes the music who writes lyrics? Musically the writing is led mostly by Daniel and Christian, the guitarists as they’re constantly writing. They usually bring in a few ideas every practice, to which our drummer “Charfield” then lays down some beats and experiments. Harry and Kyle add in their parts when Daniel, Christian and “Charfield” come up to creative blocks. So all in all we generally share the creative process. In regards to lyrics, it’s mostly Kyle who does the writing, but all other members have a say and generally put ideas forward also.

Who has the best sense of humour in the band? Harry and Christian, they are the jokers of the band. Every member has their moments, but Christians strange elaborate and over the top body language and noises, with Harry and his rotten arse (he never stops farting) seriously put the rest of us to shame. When together… you have to live it to understand, but many a laugh, and tear because of laughter have been let out.

What genre do you feel you are? We’re just metal. We don’t really like to stick ourselves in a confined genre classification because our songs, although have common elements, change from track to track. We just write, and see what comes out, we don’t sit down and think “lets write a metal song,” we sit down and just say “lets see how this sounds.” But people, our fans, generally associate us with Groove Metal, and although we welcome that tag, and make ourselves home in it, we are just metal.

Why did you pick that particular style?/What are your songs about? As a collective, regardless of our musical preferences individually, we just love really groovy, heavy music. You know those songs where, a sudden tempo change, or breakdown happens, and you can’t help but pull a stupid face that, without a word, just screams “YES!” We aim to do that. Our songs cover a lot of topics, from loss, to heartbreak, to vices, to suicidal thoughts, to rage and anger, to apathy, to happiness, and last but not least to downright, unashamed egotistical bullshit. Hype songs. We don’t do one specific type or style of song. We just like to see what comes out when we do our thing, and if magic happens, we lock in on it, and keep it.

Do you write your own material or mainly covers? We’ve done one cover for live shows; What I’ve Become by Lamb of God, but everything else is our own material. We’ve always created and wrote our own stuff.

Have you made any albums? /If yes what are they? We’ve actually got 2 E.P’s recorded, MALICIOUS INTENT – The Archives E.P. and MALICIOUS INTENT – Self Titled E.P. One of which you can listen to in full on our facebook/reverbnation websites (Archives E.P.) Due to member losses as aforementioned, we’ve generally not released anything officially. We’re currently unsure what to do with the 10 tracks we have, but we’re currently in the middle of writing better material and will be recording shortly. Depending how things go, the old 10 (which covers 2 past drummers) will probably be left up on our sites for all to enjoy, or maybe as a gift to those who buy the current/future material.

Do you have any clips on YouTube? We have an official MI page on YouTube, which has a few comedy videos, live practice videos, and a lyric teaser video for a track off the self titled E.P. and LIVE videos (though the quality of which could be better.) If you’d like to visit it, as we’re always updating our social interactive media, you’ll see what we got. www.youtube.com/MIBANDOFFICIAL

How old are you? Harry Molton is 25 Christian Elvins is 25 Daniel Attrill is 23 Danny “Charfield” Smith is 22 Kyle Mortiss is 23

At what age did you start playing? Kyle: I just sort of fell into music. Could say it was the fates, and or a sign of the Gods that brought me down this path. Ever since I can remember I’ve loved music, but coming home from school one day at the age of 12, to my mum randomly handing me a microphone, an amp and a mic stand, it just felt right, and so ever since the age of 12, I’ve been writing and screaming up a lung. And honestly it’s what I live for. Being on stage, seeing people’s faces light up, and the crowds go insane, that’s what I live for. Daniel: Fuuuuuck me… I started jamming with my brother on an acoustic guitar when I was about 11/12. We used to play so much Pink Floyd. 

Christian:I was 14 when I started playing Harry: When I was 15 I had attempted to start practicing drumming, though that fell short and soon gave that up to give the bass guitar a try. I had purchased and played cover songs to a band famously know to many as Metallica at the age of 16.... I haven’t had soft skin on my finger tips since. Charfield:  I started playing drums when I was 13 by accident, I wanted to play bass, but my music teacher in school submitted me to the wrong class.

How old were you guys when you first stood on stage? Kyle: I was 17. I travelled all the way down to Exeter with my first band Fallen Divinity to play our first show there. My legs shook so much it felt like I was dancing. We played to about 9 people in total, as there was a mess up at the entrance, the security weren’t letting people in until 7:30pm, and we were on at 7pm. Gods know what happened, but I’m thankful to have played my first show outside of my home city. Daniel: I have drunk so much since then… through the haze I would guess 14 or 15. I honestly can’t remember. Christian: I honestly can’t really remember, I’m pretty sure it was the first MALICIOUS INTENT show but, for the life of me I can’t remember. Harry: My first ever gig played was in 2010 at a local venue in Bristol called 'The Croft'. At that age I was 21. I had what I like to call the statue affect, though this was short lived as after the first song was played it soon turned to adrenaline, and the blood was flowing so fast through my veins it was quicker than me downing my favourite pint of bitter. Charfield: First time I played a show, was a battle of bands thing, we were a cover band called Born To Be Wild, I was 15.

What year was the band started? Conceptually; 2009, Officially and in physical performance, 2010.

Best/worst gig you've played? The best gig we’ve played, would probably be a tie between Gryphest 2012 where we had such an active crowd, the bar was almost broken, a guy in a straightjacket came flying on stage and nearly killed Harry by knocking over the PA system, and our headline show at the now non-existent club, The Croft, for the Bloodstock heats. We had a good 200-250 people there that night, and we’ve never had a MALICIOUS INTENT chant before, and that night they sang loud and true. Our worst show, would probably be this “festival” we played way, way back in 2011, called Youth For Youth Festival, it was advertised as a great way to get kids out of bad habits and such. We showed up ready to do our thing, reading and hearing a lot of promising press about this Youth for Youth festival, to be met by a stage that could hardly hold all 5 of us, a set up of equipment that, if we’d played properly would have most likely destroyed, to a grandmother and her grandchildren as an audience. Alone, as all 300+ kids were outside sat on the grass not giving a damn, still managed to get them to mosh though, seriously we got the old woman to push her grandchildren around, it was beautiful.

What places will you be playing in the immediate future? We’re playing Bristol Exchange on the 23rd of November, the 2 PIGS in Cheltenham on the 29th of November, and the Bristol Bierkeller on the 2nd of January, 2015. We have a few other gig offers in between now and January which we’re still needing to confirm or deny, but those 3 are the ones we’ve got set in stone.

Where have you played from then till now? Bristol, Bath, Taunton, Weston-Super-Mare, and Gloucester are the only places we’ve been fortunate to conquer so far. We’ve tried to set up shows in Manchester, Cardiff, Nottingham, and London, but every time we’ve come close something’s come up, whether it be member loss, or a venue shutting down. We’re still trying to branch out though, and we especially want to get across the water to mainland Europe. France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark seem like such promising places for metal, and we’d love to come play for all of them.
Is it always the same songs live? Usually we juggle between the same songs of our current set. Due to all the problems we’ve faced every time we’ve been active it’s been a different set list of songs, and up until recently we never went back and covered older songs. It’s only in the last few months that we’ve brought old tracks, some of which in high demand, back to the stage.

Have you had any bigger tours from start to now? Not yet. We’ve been offered some pretty great opportunities in the past, but alas the problems that have been covered extensively already generally shot us in the foot on all of them. Here’s to hoping many more chances come our way. We’ve been blessed with a few bigger support slots coming up, so hopefully that’ll be the step up to where we want to be.

How big are the crowds you usually play for? This is entirely dependent on the venue, but even then we usually attract a good 100 people per show. For example as mentioned before, The Gryphon in Bristol has the capacity of 70 people, it’s a tiny little place, but we managed to get 114 people in there at one time when we put on a show. We had people going down the stairs and into the bar room, even had people standing among us when playing, and people outside the venue. In bigger venues, we can usually pull anywhere between the 100-200 people.

What are the plans for the rest of the year? Well 2014 has been a roller coaster, but our plans are to get our foundations prepared and ready to boom in 2015. We intend on doing all the groundwork necessary now, so when the New Year rolls in, we’re ready to go.

Where do you usually play? Anywhere that would have us that we can get to, simple as that really.

How do you get psyched up for a gig? Kyle: I’m generally a nervous mess until I start doing my face paint, which is often way too soon in day, so I have to re-do it anyway. Whisky and cigarettes also helps. As does the pleasant company of the beautiful women we always seem to attract. Gotta love them ladies, yo! Daniel: Once everything is organised and put in place you can start to relax a bit, once you've got through set up, sound check and of course any inevitable problems, you can start to relax a bit, sometimes too much. You've just got to remember that you are out here doing what you love, and what you were born to do and I think that's enough to get excited about. Christian:I listen to a lot of music that inspire me before a gig which initially psyches me up, great guitarists are my source of inspiration like JP from dream theater or Jeff Loomis/Andy James/Yngwie Malmsteen etc etc. Harry: That's an easy one. I smoke so many cigarettes I look like a human smoke box, and always make sure I have a nice ice cold pint within reach of sipping after each song is finished playing. Charfield: I try not to think about it, so when I’m there it’s a smack in the face, and I get the adrenaline rush. I love the intensity. So yeah, I just don’t think about it.

What are your goals with your music? Bring some balls back to metal music, save lives and inspire, and reclaim the heavy metal crown for the UK. The latter being more so a joke, but if possible, definitely doing that.

Is it easier to get your inspiration from older bands or from bands more modern? Mixture of both, it’s good to listen to the classics because that’s where what we do, started. It’s good to listen to what’s new, to see and hear where music is progressing. If we can, as we try to, find the perfect balance of both, we can create something amazing. We don’t just listen to bands though, we listen to everything and anything, because why stagnate in one specific genre? Listen to music as a whole, there’s so much promise and potential out there, it’s discouraging but at the same time inspiring, and kicks you in the face and makes you wanna do better.

What are your sources of inspiration? Kyle: Life, history, over thinking, alcohol, and music. I can’t stop writing. I’ll be in work and have to stop to write down a line, or even a whole damn songs worth of lyrics. It just happens. That and I’m on a mission to become the next Corey Taylor, and make damn sure my family name goes down in the history books. Daniel: When writing I think it's important to keep an open mind and take inspiration from all aspects of music and life. The more places you take inspiration from the more diversity you are going to have in your sound, which in a band like MALICIOUS INTENT with so many musical influences doing this helps to keep us fresh and forever changes the way our music sounds and feels. Christian: Music. I listen to a little of everything depending on my mood. I like to feel something when listening to music, and in turn want to emulate that. Harry: It has and always will be the crowds of fans for their passion of music that has inspired me. To see their reactions when I was young whether it was on T'V, live at gigs or through their voices of pure enjoyment. This has made me want to be part of that, to go live on stage myself and give them that feel good energy, even if it is just a nod of a head to the tapping of a foot with the tempo of the music we play them. Charfield: Slipknot. Joey Jordison, simply because he doesn’t consider himself a good drummer, but he is, and that keeps me going on. That and seeing live shows, I love watching other bands, and seeing what they do, and it’s kept that little kid fan alive inside, like I was there wanting to be these guys, and one day I hope to inspire kids myself.

What's the first step when making a new song? “Boys check this out” usually said by Daniel Atrill or Christian Elvins, which then leads on to all other members having a collective idea, to which we turn into a song.

How do you feel about the downloading of music instead of buying albums? Depends on what the band in question says, if an artist is giving you permission to take for free, feel free, but if not, try and support the band. There’s no real way out of downloading and stopping people from getting free stuff, but if you do, try and support the band elsewhere. Buy merchandise, or go to shows, and advertise them. The connection between fan and band hasn’t been closer than it is today, but sadly it seems farther apart. We bands need fans, and without the bands, what do fans have? Let’s work together and all get what’s needed and wanted. Bands get the ability to keep doing what they love, and fans get the ability to see, wear, and be a part of what they love.

What would be your dreams for the band?  To play festivals on a yearly basis; Hellfest, Download, Wacken, Bloodstock, LoudPark, Gathering of the Juggalos, Trondheim,Jägermeister Music Tour, Ozzfest, Mayhem Fest… whatever is on offer, should we get to that stage and ability. We want to play to as many people as possible. That’s the prize we got our eyes on, but ideally we wouldn't mind the once a year tour around Europe/USA doing Academy sized venues. That would be the perfect comfortable middle ground.

What would be your greatest fears for the future? Having to stop, or be forced due to inability to carry on doing what we do. We live for the stage, it’s the one thing we do well, and people can see it, and feel it when we play live. If that ever gets taken away from us, we have no idea what will happen, it’d be one of the heaviest defeats and burdens to suffer and bear.

When you are on stage, what do you fear most then? Not a whole lot. When we’re on stage, that’s where we’re meant to be. Regardless of technical fault, or even if the crowd disapproves, it’s our job to put on a good show. We’ve yet to fail.

What do you work with outside of the band and the music? We all have our day jobs, Daniel Attrill works as bar supervisor at our home stage establishment, the Bristol Bierkeller, Christian Elvins, and Kyle Mortiss, clean, maintain, and fix public transport/judicial buildings, Harry Molton is an administrator for the NHS (National Health Service) and lastly Danny “Charfield” Smith is a brewer. Now all of these would seem quite promising, but in all honesty, we’re just doing them because you have to make money somewhere, as being in a band is far from cheap. One day we hope that our music will become self sufficient, so we can actually have some comfort in life. If not, then let the uphill struggle continue. Regardless of which, we’ll still keep on doing what we got to do, to be able to do what we want to do.

What would you do if there was no music? Each one of us would be much angrier and much less conscious when it comes to the world. We live for this. We only feel comfortable and ourselves when we’re doing what we do best.

How important are your fans? Without them, we’re just 5 guys playing music. It’s the fans that give us the fuel, and we’re the fire they love to watch.The fans are everything! We’ve dubbed our loyal followers the MALITIA, which is a combination of the words Malicious and Militia, as they’re quite fanatical, and have adopted to representing the band logo, and our group colours with open arms and pride. We get photographs from our fans in merchandise all the time, usually provocative ones from the females and downright crazy ones from the males. It’s awesome really. We’re just a little nobody band, but we’ve got loyalists already. It really makes us strive on harder, with more tenacity. It makes us think, maybe we should keep going despite how easy it would be to quit with all the trials and tribulations.

How often do you rehearse? This changes on account of finances and when we’re all working. We’ve gone from doing 3, 4 hour practices a week, to doing 12 hour practices in a single day, once a week.

Where do you rehearse? Rooftop Studios, in Bristol, commonly known as RS, a lot of bands go there all of which we’re friends with. It’s like a little family collective at RS, they even hold annual BBQ’s out on the roof around bonfire night (5th of November) for all the bands to just relax, share stories and music, and drink.

Name 2 of your own songs you like at the moment? Kyle: We’ve just wrote a track called “WILTED” and played it live, once so far. It’s such a powerful song, we can’t wait to nail a recording of it. Another track we’d advise would be an older track “ERGO, EGO” as it’s just all out aggression. Those two tracks really stick out for me. Daniel: I like everything we are writing and playing at the moment but two songs that really stand out for me at the moment would have to be “WILTED” and our latest, “DAMAGE” in the many years that we have been writing music together we have a sound that has been constantly evolving, whether that be down to personal taste or a change in line up. But I think these two really encapsulate all of the best bits of our previous evolutions. Christian:I would say is “SERPENTRINE” and “SUCCULENT (OUR SUFFERING)” are my two top songs. “SERPENTINE” is pretty old, and we have it recorded, but “SUCCULENT (OUR SUFFERING)” is on the to do list. Harry: Back with our previous drummer Joe Christmas we had a song called “DISTANCE”. Loved playing it and love hearing it. The second is one of our newest songs with our current drummer Charfield called “WILTED”. Every time I play it live at practice or at a gig, I get those electrifying chills down my spine, and I just can't seem to get enough. Charfield: “WILTED” because it’s just everything you need in metal music. Straight up passion and natural, and “SUCCULENT (OUR SUFFERING)” because it was my initiation to MALICIOUS INTENT. That song is my baby with this band.

What do you feel is the best live band you've seen? Kyle: This is tough… I’ve got 3 bands/artists in mind that share the top spot; Tech N9ne, HedPe, and Slipknot. All three shows had the best mosh pits, and the best atmosphere. Daniel: Fuck well, that’s a hard question for any musician or lover of live music to answer it's like asking what's your favourite chocolate from a box of all your favourite chocolates...? If someone held a gun to my head and told me I had to pick, I’d take the bullet. There are so many phenomenal live acts out there whether it be through stagecraft or musicianship. It's too hard to single out just one. Christian:One of the best live bands I have seen is probably Gojira! I’d love to tour with them, or even just share the one off show with them at some point in the future. Harry: Linkin park live at download festival. As soon as their song 'in the end' came on I think the crowd (including myself) sang the lyrics louder than the vocalst. One mighty fine performance, and one I will always remember Charfield: Killswitch Engage, simply because they were the first band that as soon as they finished, I wanted them to come back and do it again. I’ve never had that feeling or experience before.

What drives a band that isn't all that famous and renowned to try to make a living on their music and to keep playing? It’s hard to explain but it just feels like something we’re meant to do. We can feel it in the air, and in our bones when on stage. We can see how people react to it, and love it. The world feels comfortable when we have the opportunity to do what we do, so regardless of money, we do what we do because we call the stage, and the studio, home.

Any pearls of wisdom for all other bands out there? If you’re in this because you have nothing else to do, or to get paid, get out now. If you’re in this, and you can feel it’s what you want and or must do, stay the course. The waters are rough and dangerous but you don’t find new lands without a little trouble. Keep going.

Describe your show, visually and musically Zero to One hundred, all out, in your face, energy. That goes for both visual and music aspects.

How do you view the music industry of today? It’s strange. It’s an industry, ruled by business and the lifeblood of every business is money. Yet all the companies and musicians that need money to sustain themselves, are at a constant loss, but still manage to keep going. It’s confusing to say the least, and we’re hoping that it manages to get out of this very painfully slow downfall it’s been suffering for the last 5-10 years. Though saying that, maybe this will force about a change, and those that learn well and utilize what is happening, will become the legends of tomorrow.
What are the biggest obstacles for a band? Overcoming the stresses of band life which come about due to financial problems and constant potential for fights, you really need to keep your head steady.

What is best/worst with playing the clubs? The best thing is, just playing and doing what the whole purpose of being in a band is, to play, to an audience. The worst thing is, some people are still stuck in the mentality that bands are rich and such, so they expect free stuff, when in actuality we’ve got little to nothing, other than our effort and music to offer.

Tell us about upcoming gigs and why we should be at them? As briefly mention above, we have 3 shows set in stone currently. Bristol Exchange on the 23rd of November, supporting TRAPT 2 PIGS in Cheltenham on the 29th of November, supporting BROKEN JAW Bristol Bierkeller on the 2nd of January, 2015, Co-headline with BROKEN JAW

How would you describe your sound in one sentence? Kyle: “Ball bursting, ovary popping, dirty fucking groove metal” Daniel: Big, fast, heavy groove! Christian:“Fucking epic MATE!!” Harry: “Some finger picking goodness, with some nice floor moving bass.” Charfield: “Malicious Intent; it does exactly what it says on the tin (animalistic)”.

What was one of the most quarrelsome times for you in the band? We’ve all had our fair share of fights. For serious and petty reasons both, we’ve all butted heads with each other for something or the other. It just happens, but regardless of the physical, or verbal conflicts we’ve had, we’ve always knuckled down and got back to the music, and used the energy from those problematic situations to create better songs.

What’s your Pre-show ritual? Kyle: Warm up the vocal chords, go over the songs in my head so I probably look like a psychopath talking to myself under my breath, put on the gear, paint my face which usually takes place in a woman’s bathroom if no changing room is provided as men’s bathrooms don’t seem to have mirrors… and punch myself in the head a few times. Get the blood, anger, and adrenaline flowing before I hit the stage. Though with the punches, that depends if whisky is available… I’ll take shots over punches any day of the week! Daniel: Arrive at the venue unload, sound check hit the bar, meet the other acts. Hang out and meet with people who have made the effort to leave their homes to come and watch your show. Christian:My pre show ritual generally consists of crazy warm ups to help with my nerves. I’m constantly playing the guitar before hitting the stage, to work off the shakes and get into the zone. Harry: Usually as a band we will do a practice either the day before a gig, or on the day just a couple of hours before hand. But something that always help calm my nerves is to step outside with a cigarette, and just chill on a step and think through the set we're about to play. Hum the songs in my head over and over until I'm satisfied that we are going to give everyone some good old body grooving metal! Charfield: Mine is definitely… it doesn’t start until I sit on my beat down throne. I sit there, looking over my drums over to the audience, and seeing what is, and what’s gonna be. And get pumped.
