Interview with Gary White Guitarist for Pretaliation

I'd like to first thank Pretaliation for doing this interview.

No problem bro, thanks for the support!

What are the names of the members in the band and what do they do?

Gary White - Vocals
Jay Keller - Guitar
Empty Spot - Guitar
Empty Spot - Bass
Adam Morton - Drums

Who are some of Pretaliation's biggest influences?

Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Anthrax, SOD, MOD, Exodus, Rush, Cathedral, Testament, Kreator, OverKill etc...

How long have you guys been together?

It will be 2 years on 05-05-07 since we started. However, due to line up changes Gary and Jay are the only original members left. Adam has just recently joined us and fit right in. We are holding tryouts for a bass player and 2nd guitarist now. We never had a second guitar player before, until now Jay did all the guitar work.

What releases do you have?

Another Wasted Demo released in 2005.
Demo 2006 released in 2006.

What are your feelings or opinions on metal today?
Seeing thrash and deathmetal bands from the 80's and 90's releasing new material is great. It shows that the fans have not bought into the new big fad that's one size fits all that the mainstream has for everyone. Underground metal is thriving and it shows that there is still free thinkers in the world.

How would you describe Pretaliation's sound?

Dark, angry, bitter, contempt filled hatred wrapped in the chaotic melody of paranoia.

Do you have any last statments youd like to add ?

This is going to be a great summer.
