Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? IGNITE THE FIRE: Many people think we chose the name Ignite The Fire because it conveys a particular meaning. The truth is, our guitarist Mark created a list of names and Ignite The Fire happened to be the only name that wasn’t already a band. So, we claimed it and rolled with it. BOOTLEG METAL:  Where is the band from? IGNITE THE FIRE:  We are based out of Taneytown, MD. BOOTLEG METAL: Is this the original line up and how did you guys find yourselves in the same band ? IGNITE THE FIRE:  The band was formed by Mark and myself (Caelan) while in high school. As we got more serious about creating music we eventually added our singer Jack and our second guitarist Mike.

Krash Karma is: Ralf Dietel Nicole Skistimas    Buy Music Here BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it?   KRASH KARMA: Ralf and I came up with the name together.  We were looking for something dynamic that would include the idea of the yin and yang that represents the both of us.  It is based upon the theory that everything that goes around, comes around and with KrashKarma, when it comes around, it hits you fast!

Mourning Stone is:  Wes Dinwiddie  Adam Maxfield Buy music here   BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it?  MOURNING STONE: Great question!  Adam actually came up with the name.  Our first band logo was of a huge medieval tombstone, with a sort of purple overlay.  It was absolutely hideous!  The name really fits our personalities.  Most of our songs deal with fighting depression, anxiety, and loss; we simply draw from life experience.  Instead of drab and grim as the name may suggest, we like to keep it as upbeat as possible… but that could change at any time, who knows?  We’re not dead set on a method to the madness, how we should sound, or anything else.  We thought it was a cool name and we’re simply just being ourselves when making our music.  We make music that we love to listen to and if anyone else likes it, that’s a good bonus!...

Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? RIPCHAIN: No inspired backstory on this one...I wanted a ‘2 syllable’ name, so I came up with it by writing two columns of single syllable words that sounded tough or intimidating in some way. I played mix and match for a few minutes and landed on Rip and Chain. (Ironically, our sound never seemed to match our name until February 2015 when we hired Tyler Johnson on drums). BOOTLEG METAL:  Where is the band from? RIPCHAIN: Boise, Idaho BOOTLEG METAL: Is this the original line up and how did you guys find yourselves in the same band ? RIPCHAIN: I am the last survivor of the original line up. Members have come and gone over the years, each time changing the dynamic of our sound. Staying ‘style consis...
