EXHALE INTERVIEW:

Exhale is: Corey McLane - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Songwriter John Burns - Drums/Backing Vocals/Songwriter Matt Vigeant - Bassist/Backing Vocals Mike Fintonis - Lead Guitar   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? EXHALE:  What's in a name? Well, our original drummer and close friend, Ken Billingsley, came up with the band name 'Exhale'.. We wanted something easy to spell, say and understand.. Plus, we were all partial to the idea of having a one word band name.

Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? THE VERY END: Not quite sure, maybe it was me cause I've been responsible for all lyrics ever since. But it may have been a bandmate just as well, can't remember to be honest. However, The Very End as a name is pretty obvious, I think. It stands for death, nihilism, the utmost final aspect of everything and everyone. BOOTLEG METAL: Where is the band from? THE VERY END: Northwestern Germany. This region is called the Ruhr and has a great heritage of both coal/steel industry as well as metal music. Kreator, Sodom, Rage, Grave Digger and many more are literally our neighbors.
