We enjoy playing live and want to continue to find new places to do it. What are your future plans musically? Tours?Ĭurrently our plans are to reach out regionally and grow. So the little time we do have outside of the band is spent there. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not making music? We try to be mindful of badgering our audience. Artists are constantly begging for attention on social media. Through social media and constant advertising it seems people have become numb to the experience of finding new music, or art in general. On the same token, maybe some of the value is lost for the audience. It’s very helpful! Artists used to have to pound the pavement hard to get people to listen to a tape or a CD. Everyone can put their content out for the world to interact with. We are living in a very interesting time. Yeah… It’s very exciting having these tools available. Has the rise of YouTube & music streaming helped or hindered you as a band? Here’s a short list: Unearth, As I Lay dying, Wage war, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Trivium, Metallica, The Black Dahlia Murder, Basel Poledouris, Hans Zimmer… That is to name a few. What bands/artists would you say have influenced your style of music? The Mynas style consists of fast rhythmic drums with intense double bass, accompanied by melodic heavy guitars, thick roaring bass and vocals that demand the listeners attention. I think that’s the short version of Mynas’ history thus far. We set our release date to January 25th 2019 and that finds us here. Mynas entered the studio on March 10th and continued to work until December 23rd 2018. It was decided that we would start production on a new album as soon as I had recovered from surgery.
In 2018 we put the axe to the grindstone. Uncertain if the band would be around by 2018, we decided to take a break… The surgery was performed in December of 2017 and the pathology was results were benign. The only way to find out was through surgery. It was unknown at the time if it was malignant or benign. Upon having a C.T scan, a tumor was discovered behind my right eye. I was experiencing headaches on a regular basis. Unfortunately, everything was put on hold shortly after…
We started taking things a lot more serious after that. I think that was a defining moment for us as a band. That’s where we ended up winning a spot on the Vans Warped tour at the Hard Rock in Vegas. By the summer, we found ourselves in Xpoz battle of the fans. In the beginning of 2017 we were still trying to figure out if we were going to just be a hobby band, or take this to the next level. Three months later we were playing shows. After two months of searching we finally found our guy, Mauricio Silva. We put an ad out on Craigslist for a “Metal” drummer. At this point we were still pretty stoked on the band and decided that we would give it one more shot at finding the right guy for the job. In January of 2016 Mike left the band for personal reasons. One was in October and the other was in December I believe. We played only two dates with that line up. The album was released on September 22, 2015. Shortly after we enlisted Jeff Pritz to pick up on writing guitar solos and Mike Fitzgerald of Guttural Secrete to work on drums. By this time it was December of 2014 and Dean lost interest. So, the idea was to solidify the songs and put them out as a “look we finally completed an album” type of thing.Īs we worked on the album that would eventually be called “Fear The Slave”, Mark and I wanted to take it a bit more serious. These ideas were pieces we had attempted to put together in the past and were not 100% to our liking. We had a few ideas for songs rolling around. Well, Mynas as it is today, started as a studio project back in the summer of 2013. Mynas is: Miles Lanham-Guitar/Vocals Jeff Pritz-Lead Guitar Mark Bazar-Bass Mauricio Silva-Drums
