FMA 065: Sebastian K. & Mark C. (Shattered Lions)

The first time I met Mark was almost 5 years ago when my old band and Mark’s other band WITH EVERY STEP played at the same show.

SHATTERED LIONS "Empty Handed / Heavy Hearted"

When SHAI HULUD played in our area Sebastian and Mark attended that show and handed out some left-overs of their latest EP “Empty Handed / Heavy Hearted”. Lucky me the SHAI HULUD-interview had kept me in the venue long enough to get a hold on one copy.

Mark C. & Sebastian K.(Shattered Lions)

I recognized his face at a local show last year, introduced my project to him and asked if he might want to provide his thoughts. But fair enough Mark didn’t want to the interview alone. We came to terms to schedule a sit down at one of their following shows.

I met Mark again at a NAPOLEON show. At that point we still hadn’t made an appointment. But we did that day: We scheduled our interview for SHATTERD LIONS’ support show for BEARTOOTH a couple of weeks later. But unfortunately, we needed to postpone it again then since Mark had to leave early after that show.

We FINALLY shot it when SH supported LIONHEART, DEEZ NUTS and H2O.

(Still nobody knows how they ended up on that line up since they musically simply don’t fit the other bands. But well… who of you would let that supporting slot slip through one’s hands…?)
