    This convo made our past fantasies of becoming so much more in a quick moment more clear.. Here I heard why our experience with Guy when we met in Richmond, VA. Even though he mentioned offering us a spot on Black Market Activities... the reality of it makes it all so much more real. The most real/best history with an honest explanation is that he had so many bands that he enjoyed and couldn't offer results to all of them while there were monetary issues that were pretty real. It all gives me a better perpspective on our past communications.

    Man, listening to this episode of the podcast was like traveling back in time. I wasn't part of your music scene, because I'm Brazilian. But almost all the bands mentioned were soundtracks of my early twenties: red chord, pig destroyer, curl up and die, converge, cave in, psyopus, fassw, cephalic carnage (my all time favorite)... I have a particular memory of The Red Chord when they released Fused. I never forgot the first time I listened to this album, I was arriving at the University of Brasilia for my 8 am class and I put a burnt copy of the record on my Sony minidisc. I was so in love with the album that I never forgot that moment. Sorry about the pirate mp3 I got. 😂

I used to get this and other times “nocturnal panic attacks” I went to drs, did sleep studies and started therapy years ago due to this. Insanely terrifying.

It’s been since summer since my last sleep paralysis event. Crazy man. I’ve got theories too! It seems so real

I’m enjoying this sooo sooo much, fassw represents something highly important in my life since I had first listening back in 03-04 and no matter how much time has passed, I still love the band as I do since those years. I would LOVE if you someday can grant me with the enormous privilege (like just you or you an Rob (😳😮‍💨 fuck man, too much to ask…) of making a playthroug of “Vespers” 😮‍💨🤩 (I got that song name printed on my beer belly -panza in spanish haha 😆- ) I am and always be thankful for your existence cause your music, has helped me like… man… I just say a LOT through all these years haha (I’m almost 40). Without you guys I would not be me cause’ you are essential in mu “life soundtrack”. If I die and reborn as a song, I would choose to exist like Vespers, cause I feel that song explains with no words how being me (in general) is and feels, it’s like being an “Organized Insanity”: Heavy, dark, raw, violent, mad, angry, ruthless but at the same time, lovely, sweet, melodic, intense, epic, romantic, and also like with structure but also make you feel FREE, drained and calm… IDK, so much feelings I can name, but yea, pretty much like that. I really hope you read this. If you ever wanna come to EL SALVADOR, CENTRAL AMERICA 🇸🇻 🥳🥰 (pupusas man 🫓 , you’ll love that food, I guarantee you that man) your home is ready to receive you. Lots of love and good vibes for you and the guys. I hope I can have rhe enormous honor to meet you someday and to have enough for that and for watching the band at least a 2nd time before I die. Have a great day. With all respects: Oscar Alas (Wings) from El Salvador in Central America🇸🇻 (the guy from a 1000 miles away hahaha, back in 2006 before you joined I saw the band and they called me like that, cause IT IS that far 😂) Cheers!!

We would love to play down there some day if ever possible. Since I wasn't in the band during that record, I do not know the song aside from a few parts, and we have not relearned it yet since our reunion.I do hope to one day. It's almost 9 minutes and has many, many parts so it's difficult to fit into our set haha. If I find the time to figure out how to play the whole thing, I will absolutely do a play through. Thank you so much again for your kind words and support. We appreciate you! 🫂
