Draft Article

Our Chief Editor Jake Josling sits down with up and coming metal band "Mechanized Patriot" and asks them your questions on what it's like being the new comers to such a developed genre.

Jake: Ok, I'm here with Mechanized Patriot, tell us a bit about yourselves and your past guys.

Ciaran: Hi, I'm Ciaran and I'm the lead singer of the band. Erm, I grew up in London where I got a lot of inspiration from my surroundings because I lived in quite a developed area of London where my father worked in a factory.
Chris: Erm, I'm Chris and I am the lead guitarist of the band.
Luke: Don't you have to say more than that Chris? (Laughs)
Chris: OH! (Laughs) I'm sorry, Erm, Ah, I live in Greater London and I grew up in the country on my dad's farm. I met Ciaran through a fan forum for an old band I like.
Luke: That's better (Laughs). I'm Luke and I'm the drummer for the band. I grew up near Ciaran and I remember him in school but we never really spoke until he found out that I played the drums and then we formed our first band type thing. It never really worked until we got Chris on board and changed our name to Mechanized Patriot.

Jake: Speaking of the name, Mechanized Patriot, how did you come up with that?

Ciaran: That was actually our friend's idea.
Chris: Yeah, there was this old video game that featured an enemy called the Mechanized Patriot and he spoke about it quite a lot and then we sorta made the connection and thought it'd be a good name.

Jake: Your first album is coming out next month, Do you want to just give us some information about it?

Luke: This album is just all of our demo stuff and some of our new tracks thrown in. We've been working on it for about 6 months.
Chris: This album is called Rustic Ruins, because we thought it was a cool name. It doesn't really have any significance to anything but we just liked it so we used it.
Ciaran: It'll be available on the 3rd of December!
Chris: Just in time for Christmas!

Jake: Have you got plans for a tour?

Ciaran: This is a bit of a tough question really. We haven't really got any plans for our own tour but we are tagging along on a few other peoples tours (Laughs)
Chris: We are opening for Parkway drive in January, Cancer Bats in March, We're playing on the main stage at the Download Festival in June and
