Metalcore Band Breathe In Release New Single Misfortune's Hand

0:04 Hi, you live done to censure for Wow, Crazy Young. This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with our next guest who has some badass new music. Uh so, let's talk to Paul from breathe In. How are you hey? Good dude? Thanks for having me.

0:45 Oh my pleasure, And I gotta tell you right off the bat. One thing I'm impressed with as somebody's front born in New York, grew up in Jersey, the fact that you're like a tri state area band and actually get along is pretty damn Yeah. Ah man, I know you've gone through different lineups and you have your current lineup now with this new single, Misfortune's Hand. Tell us what makes this so much more exciting for you now compared to any time in your band's history. Well, I mean, I think for me personally, the thing that's really exciting about this one was we had this demo written since like beginning of twenty twenty three, and it was immediately like one of my favorite songs, and I was like, we gotta get this song out. I gotta get this out. So for me, this is extremely exciting because the song is finally out, it's done, and it's one of my favorite songs I've ever worked on in my entire career. Oh nice, but yeah, and the new guys, well they're not really new anymore, but Shola and Topeng when they joined last year, this obviously this this song was on the docket, and they added such a great flare to the original demo and just turned it into something It's so good, man, just so powerful

2:17 and so like, I don't know, just added added a whole new depth of the emotion to the song too, you. Know, I think too, like you know, after seeing a lot of bands that you know that most bands don't really like make it as the original lineup, that's like the foundation. And then I was thinking about it on the way to the studio earlier to do this interview, as I was listening to Metallica and I was listening to a live thing of Cliff, and I'm like, man, can you imagine if McGovney was still in the band and Cliff never entered the band, would we even know who mate is today? Yeah?

3:01 No, I think you're right. I mean, yeah, he was killer man, I mean yeah, no, I see what you're saying. You know, it's like, I'm not even listen, I saw Metallica with mcgoverny in the band. I'm not even saying mcgoverney was a bad bassis. Yeah, it's just sometimes that chemistry between members, Like I think even the thing with having both Lars and Mustaine in the same band is way too much ego for one band. Okay. Yeah, so again perfect example of like people could say, oh, if Mustaine was still in the band, well, no, maybe they wouldn't be Metallica today, and maybe you wouldn't have such great Megadeth music either.

3:46 Yeah, yeah, no, I totally agree. I mean it makes sense, and I love that I read something. This is like some heavy duty kudos that this song it channels I'm gonna read exactly, it channels the intensity of bad Homans and orbit culture, the visual grandeur of Black Veil Brides, and the artistic flare of Japanese legends the Gazette and Hide. That is definitely a mouthful of probably the best praise you could ever get. Yeah, thank you, right, I mean, oh.

4:31 Well, there we go there in the interview, like it would be the first time, and it's certainly not gonna be the last. I think. I think the cat agrees. Oh yeah, definitely, yeah, no, she well she has to agree because she hears it all the time. I know, right, And I do want to know that. How does the cat react to the song? You know, she she loves it. She's very energetic and she she loves the energetic music. I love it. I love it. So I think it would be kind of cool if you could go to like a metal festival or something and like bring your pet and yeah, like a cat mosh pit, a dog mash pet.

5:14 Yeah that's right. You know how funny would that be? I mean, like that would be pretty cool though. And a lot of people, like a lot of metal heads, you know, that's their basically, that's their support system is those pets. So it'd be cool to have a mental festivals and like have a have an area. I think this is a new idea, like a koreand New festival where there's like a pet area. Okay, right, I know that would be cool. So what started you on this whole journey, like from the very way back beginning of you know, becoming a musician.

5:57 It was so when I was very really young, my mom used to play the Beatles and the Monkeys and all these you know, those classic bands and everything, Elvis and all that, And what was funny is like I've always kind of felt I've always loved that music, and I still do, but I've always felt there was like a piece that was missing. And like, of course, when I was like, you know, five or six years old, I couldn't place what I needed to hear. Yeah, I knew I wanted something like deeper, something heavier, something like a little bit more distortion. Obviously I was five years old, so I didn't really know how anything like that until I saw in the basement this amazing cover art number of the Beasts by Iron Maiden.

6:47 Wow. I saw the record and I was like, this looks I remember it left such a huge impression on me. Put it in the record player and it changed my life. Man. That was like everything I wanted to hear out of music. And the drums specifically, I know Clive Burg worked on was the drummer for that album, but uh yeah, man, that was like something I've never heard before, especially like how it would be their name. Oh yeah, that's the most amazing song. Yeah, It's like that's what was like. Oh I didn't realize because you know, I was used to listening to, you know, like the Beatles, you know, and Ringo is great and all, and I love them too, but it's like there was there was something, there's something in that number of the Beast album that like spoke to me and I was it. I was hooked. I was a metal head ever since.

7:36 Well, you know, it's funny that you mentioned like Ringo because I played drums while I was a kid, and two of my idols that made me want to start playing drums were Ringo Starr and Peter Cress. And it's funny. I just saw Ringo Starr play at a festival a couple of months ago that I was covering at Bourbon Beyond, and uh, I'm I'm watching and I'm like, you know, Ringo is a great drummer, always has been. But it's like you made me think of that. It's like it's so basic, that like basic beat. And then I was at the first Slayer show and saw Lombardo and I'm like, no, that's a drummer. Yeah, yeah, you know.

8:23 Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, it's like so different, but that's how we was way back, and I think that's the key. A lot of people don't realize that metal heads have this strong basis in all of the original rock and roll. Like they think we're just into oh, only the scream o stuff as people would put it, you know, and we all have that foundation, you know, we all have the foundation. I think Helter Skelter was a heavy metal song of its time, yeah, type of thing, you know. But then there was that progression, like you said, like I remember, I was into Beatles and Kiss, and then I was into Zeppelin, and then I was into Ozzy, and then I was into you know, Metallic and Slayer and wait before that, into Iron Maid and Press. And it's like there has been this progression over the past so many years that really people think we're just into this, but we like a lot more than that. It's just the metal hits our soul. Yeah that's the difference.

9:28 Yeah, well, yeah, that's exactly. That's the perfect way to word it. Yeah, it does. So. Also, your video is badass, and you did double work in that, right Yeah. Yeah. I direct all of our stuff, I edit all of our stuff. Also I'm in the video too, so my my film crew. I've been working with these guys for a long long time, and not only are we like great friends, but they're just like some of the most talented people like in the field that I know, and just having them work with us is such an enormous help on all of our productions. So yeah, I you know, we literally we can't do anything without them, like they're they're the backbone to our productions, you know.

10:19 I love it. Yeah, and I love that was shot in Brooklyn because I look at the video and it's like watching home movies of the days of hardcore in Brooklyn back way. Yeah, so very cool. Tell everybody how they reach out to you on socials, on the web, how they check out the new song and everything else that you have. Yeah, so the new song, the music videos on YouTube obviously, the song is called Misfortune's Hand. Our band name is breathe In on our all our socials, I think it's at breathe In band, and yeah, we're on all the streaming platforms, Spotify, Apple Music, all of it. Yeah, man, just yeah, let us know what you think of the new sold.
