1. Describe your band in 13 words or less.
Odd times with more dynamics than a stick has ever been shaken at.

2. What are your main influences, both musically and otherwise?
As a band I have to say that we each have our own varied tastes in music across a variety of genres, we all draw inspiration from different sources as well as a lot of common ones. I think that this ability to head in a common direction but at the same time with our own individual perspectives that is what makes our music so interesting, its what gives our sound its own unique edge. I have to say we're very conscious as a band of what I have refured to for years as metal for metals sake, being as dark & as brutal as possible just for the hell of it. To me it's like when you were a child & would stick a playing card into the spokes of your bike, just make it sound like a motor cycle, you can pedal as hard as you want, but it's still just a bicycle.

I'd say that vocally my main influences are Slipknot, KoRn, American Head Charge, Devil Driver, Tool & APC

Lyrically I tend to look at the world around me & draw on personal experiences, issues I have with the way this whole thing 'life' seems to work & also the work of a lot of great satirical comedians.

3. Tell us about the last record you released?
We recently released our self titled EP, which after months of gruelling prep work, what with Dan (Bass) masterminding the recording & production process, plus the conceptual development of the artwork produced by the talented Mr. Matt Frederick, the EP itself & also the feedback we have had has surpassed all of our expectations, we are truly proud to call it our first release. If you're interested in purchasing a physical or digital copy, then visit our website www.collision-process.com there you'll also find a sample of the EP to feast your ears upon.

I'll also let you guys at Metalheadz in on a little behind the scenes info; we're just finishing preliminary work on our next release Emperor's, this is a two track single (yes, it's an oxymoron, we know) due to be released later this year which, for the moment at least, will be available in digital download formats only.

4. When are you next out on tour?
We're currently in the process of booking a set of local gigs for 2011, as well as some further a field for the latter part of the year. So far we're confirmed to play

* The Wetmore Whistle, Burton-on-Trent - Thursday 27th January
* The Grapes, Stafford - Thursday 10th February
* Flapper & Firkin, Birmingham - Thursday 24th March
* Bloodstock Metal to the Masses (Queens Hall Nuneaton) - Sunday 3rd April

We're also confirmed to play Scruffy Murphy's (Birmingham) & a few others, the dates will be uploaded to the website as soon as they are set in stone.

5. Your home town aside, which is your favourite city to play?
I used to love the Stourbridge scene, always had a good vibe to it, I have to say though I think that each city has its hot spots that are truly a pleasure to play at.

6. If you could go out on tour with any two other bands, who would you pick?
Ah, now that's a tough one. Personally I'd have to say Slipknot & Tool, just for the pleasure of meeting Corey and Maynard, and seeing them perform every night.

7. What has been the funniest / most horrific thing that’s ever happened to you whilst on stage / tour?
Many, many years ago, with one of my old bands, I might, if you believe the vicious rumours which certain individuals still like to circulate, have had quite a horrific fall on stage in front of a packed out backroom at the old eddies no.8 in Birmingham before it got burnt down.

8. What’s the best thing about being in a band?
I'd say the best thing is the creative outlet it gives to us, whatever your emotional state at the time I think it really reflect in the music. I cant describe how awesome it feels to get on a stage & be someone else for 40 minutes, an hour.

9. What was the first record you ever bought?
First CD I ever brought with my own money was Slipknot - Wait & bleed, the single. The rest is history.

10. What’s the most embarrassing CD in your collection?
I'd have to say it would probably be an old 'Now' compilation album or something, I haven't brought CD's for many years, atleast not anything I'd call embarrassing. However on my PC in a digital format it would probably be Alanis Morrisette, I know, I know, for a metal vocalist it's an odd one, but I find it always puts a smile on my face, haha.

11. If you had to give up music and do a different job, what would your ideal job be?
I'm currently employed as a quantity surveyor & it suits me just fine, but I'd have to say, perfect job would probably be something that allows me to sleep till late and work minimum hours for maximum pay.

12. Tell us something you’ve never told anyone else in an interview.
I have a small dog.

13. Famous last words?
They always say that you can't change the past but you can certainly have an effect on tomorrow.
