Heroes Of Origin<\/em>, meanwhile, takes its lyrical influences from subjects such as television shows, social issues, and legends. \u201cI don\u2019t know if you guys have this show in the UK, but there\u2019s a show in the United States called Dexter<\/em>,\u201d the songwriter begins. \u201cIt\u2019s about the serial killer, and that\u2019s what \u2018The Violent Times Of My Dark Passenger\u2019 is about. He refers to the killer inside of him as his dark passenger, and then \u2018Globicidal\u2019 is about suicide bombers. \u2018Weapons Of Class Destruction\u2019 is about little kids who go to school, like we just had in Connecticut with all of those kids. That\u2019s what that\u2019s about, and then \u2018Shadows Of The Buried\u2019 is about a vampire. I love Dark Shadows<\/em> and I always have, and not just the (2012) movie that Johnny Depp was in. That was derived from the 60s series about a vampire (Barnabas Collins). I have a tattoo of the original guy (Jonathan Frid) on my arm, and that\u2019s kind of a homage to my love for horror movies and vampires. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe album varies, from a lot of different things. There\u2019s one on there called \u2018And Your Children To Be Damned\u2019 and that\u2019s about Countess Elizabeth B\u00e1thory, but more the story of what she did. She bathed in the blood of virgins. Anything that\u2019s intriguing, anything that\u2019s dark; that\u2019s basically what I write. Anything that\u2019s violent, anything that\u2019s dark, and anything that\u2019s powerful I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

The gun debate sweeping North America has drawn a varying array of opinions. \u201cThe Second Amendment is the right to bear arms, but that was made at a time when there was savage Indians living in the country,\u201d Steve laughs. \u201cOther than the savages that are still living here… I won\u2019t mention anything because I won\u2019t go there, but now I think it\u2019s so that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can… It\u2019s not like that in your country obviously (United Kingdom), but here you can get a gun and just use it. If they\u2019re gonna have free guns like that, I would think that you have to put a police officer in every school. That\u2019s my solution to it and the National Rifle Association (NRA) came up with the same solution, that you should put an armed police officer in every school. You don\u2019t need to have assault rifles. What do you need an assault rifle for? I don\u2019t understand that. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn a lot of our country, they\u2019re like \u2018We have the right to bear arms, and if we ever get invaded we\u2019ll need…\u2019 We\u2019ll never get invaded. We\u2019re so far away from everybody, so who the hell\u2019s gonna invade us? Mexico? Canada? For Christ\u2019s sake, they\u2019d wouldn\u2019t even be able to get halfway over the Atlantic Ocean. We\u2019d know they were coming, so nobody\u2019s ever gonna invade us. I just think it\u2019s bullshit. If you want to have a gun, be a responsible person like Ted Nugent who are good hunters and respect their weapons. I feel sorry for him, I really do. I feel bad for him, because he follows the rules; and he does his hunting on places in the right seasons, and he follows the laws. I think that\u2019s great, and it\u2019s too bad that not everybody does. I\u2019m with you though. What the hell do you need an AK-47 for? You don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rock artist and conservative thinker Ted Nugent is viewed in less of a positive light by some commentators. \u201cI don\u2019t agree with his logic on some things, but honestly, he\u2019s a very responsible hunter,\u201d the singer feels. \u201cHe has a television show in the United States called Spirit Of The Wild<\/em>, and I watch it. He preaches gun safety, about having the correct tags, and hunting in the right areas, and getting the right sized game. For a guy like him, even though he says the wrong things all of the time… Because I\u2019ve seen what he has said lately, and it\u2019s just like \u2019Oh my God.\u2019 You can\u2019t compare it to Rosa Parks (gun ownership). It\u2019s not even close. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know why he feels like that, because of all of the things that are happening between the congresswoman from Arizona (Gabrielle Giffords) who got shot in 2011 (January 8th) and then now this tragedy… Recently, some guy went into a school in California and shot one student, but they talked him down before he shot anybody else and that student was in a critical condition. It\u2019s just one of those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ted Nugent\u2019s conservative viewpoints are arguably as controversal as Dave Mustaine\u2019s, the mainman of Californian thrash act Megadeth. \u201cI guess you have the right to freedom of speech,\u201d Steve muses. \u201cI\u2019m a musician; I play heavy metal music. It doesn\u2019t give me the forum or the platform to voice my opinion on everything, or anything. It just doesn\u2019t. I\u2019m not smarter than you; I don\u2019t know any better than anyone else, and I\u2019m not trying to. It doesn\u2019t give me that. I think sometimes these guys get caught up in themselves. They get full of themselves, and then they end up with a bigger than God attitude, and everything they say has to be paid attention to. <\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes it\u2019s just \u2018Urrgghh… You said the wrong thing. Why did you say that?\u2019 That\u2019s why I\u2019ve actually spoken to all of the boys. Now that they have a record out, they have to stay off of Facebook. They have to watch what they say, and beware of who\u2019s around them, who they talk to, how they say things, and not to come off like an idiot. I don\u2019t want any of my guys coming off like a fucking dumbass; they need to come off like they\u2019re intelligent.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Aurora, Colorado on July 20th, 2012, a gunman (James Holmes) killed 12 people and injured 58 others during a midnight cinema screening of the film The Dark Knight Rises<\/em>, the third instalment in Christopher Nolan\u2019s Batman series of movies. Dave suggested that President Barack Obama had staged the Aurora shooting, a comment which arguably would\u2019ve inflicted greater harm on Megadeth had Megadeth experienced success like fellow Californian thrash outfit and Big Four member Metallica, a band that Dave once played guitar for. \u201cI agree,\u201d the Hatriot co-founder responds. \u201cThat has maybe hindered his success and his platform, because he has such opinions like that. I don\u2019t know what to say (laughs). That\u2019s pretty far fetched, it really is. His opinion was pretty far out there. I haven\u2019t seen him in awhile, but I knew Dave back in the day. Over the 30 years I\u2019ve been doing this, nothing surprises me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guns are readily available for purchase in North America. \u201cYou can get anything if you want it \u2013 I could get anything I wanted,\u201d Steve confirms. \u201cThere are dealers out there. People that will get you anything you want in the United States. If you want anything, you can get it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heroes Of Origin<\/em> was laid down at Trident Studios in Martinez, California. \u201cAs soon as the record deal was signed, I think we were in the studio the very next week,\u201d the vocalist shares. \u201cWe signed the deal in July (2012), and we were in the studio rehearsing and recording in August. We started recording the album August 1st, and I think it was done by September 15th. The album was finished; recorded, mixed, mastered, and everything. They had it in their hands September 15th. Everybody was very, very well rehearsed. We went into the studio for like a month before we actually went into the studio to record the record. I made them play the set three times a day, every day until we went in there, the set meaning the album. They started with \u2018Suicide Run\u2019 all the way to \u2018Heroes Of Origin\u2019 from top to bottom with no stop and no mistakes, so everybody knew their part when they went in. <\/p>\n

\u201cI train my band like an American football team \u2013 that\u2019s how we are. We come and watch films at my house of other bands that I think are good onstage, and carry themselves good. I point things out. I want my band to be the best it can be, so I\u2019m very much involved in every aspect of it. I\u2019m like a coach, and I only want to be the best. When we play a show, to me the shows are the Super Bowls. You have to win the Super Bowl every time. When I\u2019m going onstage, I\u2019m like \u2018Guys, I need your game faces on. We need to kick ass. Go out there, and slay, slay, slay.\u2019 I very much carry myself and my music like that, so everybody\u2019s very well rehearsed. I\u2019m gonna shoot to never have a bad show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juan Urteaga handled production duties, having previously worked with Exodus, Testament, and Machine Head. \u201cHe did some really good stuff, and we\u2019re friends with Juan,\u201d Steve compliments. \u201cWe see him at all of the shows in the Bay Area, and because there\u2019s a very tight knit, friendly atmosphere between all of the bands it\u2019s like \u2018Hey man, I want you to work on my album.\u2019 \u2018No problem Zet… Hell yeah… I\u2019m looking forward to working on your album.\u2019 We don\u2019t even sit there to negotiate who\u2019s gonna do it. We pretty much know. We knew that Juan was gonna do our first record, and Juan did an amazing job. The record sounds great; I\u2019m very proud of this album. I went to England and recorded Force Of Habit<\/em> (August 1992), and we spent about $300,000 hanging out there and doing that record. Hatriot didn\u2019t spend close to that. I listen to both records, and this record kicks ass. We\u2019re much smarter now, and much more resourceful. Juan is in our area, so nobody had to fly anywhere or rent hotel rooms to go record the record. He\u2019s a 40-minute drive from Kosta, he\u2019s a 25-minute drive from me, and he\u2019s a 30-minute drive from Cody and Nick, so it\u2019s easy to get to his studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the recording process, Juan provided musical feedback. \u201cWith the music, definitely, especially given that it was the boys\u2019 first time around,\u201d the frontman reminds. \u201cFor me though, I know what I\u2019m doing when I go in there. I know what I want, and I know what I hear in my head. I\u2019m very much comfortable with how my voice sounds, and how to make the sounds out of my voice. It\u2019s not that I let people produce my vocals; I just pretty much know what I\u2019m doing there. What you hear is what I\u2019m coming up with, and I like it. Juan is very good at editing parts, and just anything that an engineer \/ producer does to help the project sound that much better. The toning of the drums, the toning of the guitars, and just everything. The tightness of it. Juan is really smart when it comes to that type of stuff, so he makes it really good. He\u2019s very easy to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chuck Billy \u2013 frontman of Californian thrash assemblage Testament and Dublin Death Patrol bandmate \u2013 lent his voice to \u2018And Your Children To Be Damned\u2019. \u201cThe vocal part in there was really low, so I wanted to have Chuck\u2019s voice in there,\u201d Steve analyses. \u201cWe\u2019re all friends; they\u2019re the guys that we hang out with, the guys we know. I wrote three songs on the new Testament album (Dark Roots Of Earth<\/em>), so we help each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wordsmith penned lyrics for July 2012 Testament outing Dark Roots Of Earth<\/em>, to be precise. \u201cI\u2019ve always helped them,\u201d he reflects. \u201cI wrote \u2018More Than Meets The Eye\u2019 and \u2018Dangers Of The Faithless\u2019 off of The Formation Of Damnation<\/em> (April 2008). Chuck and I do Dublin Death Patrol and I talk to Eric (Peterson, guitars) and Alex (Skolnick, guitars) all the time, so they were just like \u2018Hey Zet. Why don\u2019t you write some lyrics for songs on the new album?\u2019 I wrote \u2018Throne Of Thorns\u2019, I wrote \u2018A Day In The Death\u2019, and I wrote \u2018True American Hate\u2019. \u2018Throne Of Thorns\u2019 was pretty much about somebody who takes charge like a king, and then in the end he gets what\u2019s coming to him. \u2018True American Hate\u2019, he came up with the title and all of the concept for that. I kind of followed him on that, and then with \u2018A Day In The Death\u2019 Alex wrote half of the song and I wrote half of the song. Instead of being a day in the life it was a day in the death, so I kind of followed their lead on that. Chuck will come over one afternoon, and he\u2019ll bring the music on his laptop and play it. We\u2019ll sit there by the kitchen table and write the lyrics, or he\u2019ll send the music to me in advance. I\u2019ve had Testament music before there was any music to it; I\u2019ll write lyrics to it, and see what he thinks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve occupied the microphone for Legacy during the mid-80s, the vocalist departing to join Exodus. Legacy was rechristened Testament shortly thereafter, and featured Chuck in the position of frontman. \u201cI\u2019m considered a piece of the family still, so I\u2019m actually very good friends with Eric and Alex, and obviously Greg (Christian, bass), and whoever\u2019s playing drums at the time,\u201d he imparts. \u201cI keep in touch with those guys. There were no hard feelings. It wasn\u2019t like I quit or left on a bad note, or I quit to join Exodus. I actually introduced them to Chuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Testament subsequently enjoyed respectable success following their rechristening, as did the Hatriot mainman as a member of Exodus. \u201cI\u2019ve been very, very fortunate to stay relevant over the last 30 years, even with the little projects I\u2019ve done,\u201d he accepts. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t like Hatriot came out of nowhere. I did Tenet in 2009 (Sovereign<\/em>, July), I did Dublin Death Patrol in 2007 (DDP 4 Life<\/em>, April), I also put out a Dublin Death Patrol record in 2012 (Death Sentence<\/em>, August), and I went to Europe with them in 2011, so I keep myself relevant. I sang on the Forbidden record Omega Wave<\/em> (October 2010) so I keep myself busy, but for now it\u2019s time for me to take full charge and go out and be with a new band and a new attitude. It\u2019s time for me to be on tour, and do the things that all regular bands do \u2013 be on tour and play. After touring ends we\u2019ll record a new record and go back out on tour, just like I did back when I was in Exodus. That\u2019s how I want it to be again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Axeman Phil Dimmel \u2013 additionally a member of a Californian thrash band in the form of Machine Head \u2013 supplied back-up vocals on Heroes Of Origin<\/em>, meanwhile. \u201cHe didn\u2019t play guitar on anything,\u201d Steve mentions. \u201cWhen you hear a back-up, you\u2019ll hear Phil\u2019s voice on there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The composer reckons the album\u2019s title number is \u201cpretty much a blazer, a rager, kind of a thrash anthem, of \u2018We are taking charge and you better just watch out, because we\u2019re coming to your cities and we\u2019re gonna take you apart.\u2019 The title comes from when I was a kid. I used to collect a lot of comics, horror comics and superhero comics. I read this comic from 1942, and on the cover of it was the original Aquaman, the original Wonder Woman, Superman in his first inception, and Batman and Robin. There were four different panels of scenes on the cover of this comic book and the comic book was titled Heroes Of Origin<\/em>, so that\u2019s where I got the title from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heroes Of Origin<\/em>\u2019s front cover artwork includes two of the outfit\u2019s personnel wielding shields in the vein of comic book superhero Captain America. \u201cThe shields are pentagrams but they\u2019re in the same vein of that, yes,\u201d Steve proclaims. \u201cThey\u2019re shields like Captain America has, exactly, but they have pentagrams on them. If anything, I won\u2019t lose the shields. The shields will be around forever, so that\u2019s gonna be my identity. I\u2019d like to use shields in the future, so that you know it\u2019s Hatriot when you see that. Like I said, I probably won\u2019t have the flag around after this record necessarily, but I\u2019m definitely going to have the shields around.\u201d<\/p>\n

If maintained for future use, the Hatriot flag could potentially become an emblem, much in the same way the Confederate flag has for Southern rock group Lynyrd Skynyrd. \u201cThat\u2019s the thing,\u201d the singer cautions. \u201cThe Confederate flag is the Confederate flag, and I\u2019m not trying to make a statement like that. It just happened to be the first inception of our logo, and I liked it when I saw it. Like I said, I\u2019m not looking for that. I\u2019m just using it on this record, and then like I said, it\u2019ll probably change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Devito was responsible for the platter\u2019s front cover artwork. \u201cMark is his own mind, and just took the name of the band,\u201d Steve credits. \u201cWhat he came up with was great. He nailed it; as far as I\u2019m concerned, he nailed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

No leftovers were cut during recording sessions. \u201cWe wanted to, but we wanted to get the record out,\u201d the co-founder expounds. \u201cIf it looks like that\u2019s gonna happen, we may go into the studio and just do some stuff that we like, some cover stuff. There was nothing else really to do though. The budget didn\u2019t allow it necessarily. I wanna do \u2018King Of Rock \u2019N\u2019 Roll\u2019 by Dio (from August 1985\u2019s Sacred Heart<\/em>). I love (Ronnie James) Dio, so I wanna show Dio respect because he was a good friend of mine and I\u2019m very sad. I loved the guy, and so I\u2019d love to do that. I\u2019d love to do \u2018Steal Away (The Night)\u2019 by Ozzy Osbourne (from September 1980\u2019s Blizzard Of Ozz<\/em>). I\u2019d like to play \u2018Holy Wars (The Punishment Is Due)\u2019 by Megadeth (from October 1990\u2019s Rust In Peace<\/em>), because that would be fun. I\u2019d like to just have some fun playing some covers. We do \u2018Reign Of Terror\u2019 by Legacy (from 1985\u2019s Demo: 1<\/em><\/a>) and \u2018The Last Act Of Defiance\u2019 by Exodus (from Fabulous Disaster<\/em>) if the crowd is good and they\u2019re nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve has warm memories of the late Ronnie James Dio, known for his vocal exploits with Dio, Black Sabbath<\/a>, Rainbow, Heaven & Hell, and Elf. \u201cOh my God, he was the best,\u201d he praises. \u201cI was fortunate enough to tour with Black Sabbath in \u201992 when they put Dehumanizer<\/em> (June 1992) out. Exodus played in the United States, and Ronnie was a fans\u2019 guy. He would stay after the shows for every last person, and take every last picture, and sign every last item that the fans\u2019 wanted, and answer any question if you wanted to know. I admired that about him. I remember the rest of the guys in Sabbath would be on the tour bus waiting for him, because he would be outside with the fans. He would say \u2018The fans are the greatest, and the reason why you\u2019re here and able to do this is because of the fans. You must show them,\u2019 and I loved that about him. After every show he may even have had to wait up to an hour and a half, but he didn\u2019t walk out of that door and straight to his bus. He walked over to the fans that were there. Even if there was a 100 of them, he would stand there for an hour and a half and sign every last thing, and have every last picture taken with everybody. I admired that about him, and in every city he did that. I loved that about him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really sad. I talked to Chuck about two weeks before he died. Revolver had those (Golden Gods) awards down in Los Angeles (on April 8th, 2010), and he said he saw him there and that he talked to him. He said he was doing good and that he would be okay, and then two weeks later he died (on May 16th, 2010). I couldn\u2019t believe it. I didn\u2019t think he was gonna die; I thought he was gonna make it out of it. I loved the man to death; I cried tears the day he died. I was sad. I listen to Dio songs now, and it totally chokes me up because I just don\u2019t get to talk to him anymore. What a great guy he was. He was a great guy, and just a great musician. One of the best heavy metal singers, in the top two, top three. Ozzy (Osbourne, of Black Sabbath), Halford (Rob Halford, of Judas Priest), and Dio \u2013 you could talk like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

As stated earlier during this in-depth feature, three compositions have been authored in anticipation of a sophomore Hatriot full-length. \u201cThey\u2019re very similar, but the musicianship is getting tighter,\u201d the vocalist critiques. \u201cThe songs are getting a little bit more complex and probably a little bit more aggressive, if we can even do that. I have a title I came up with called \u2019Superkillafragsadisticactsaresoatrocious\u2019, so that\u2019s gonna be the name of one of the songs on the next record. It\u2019s a twist on the Mary Poppins<\/em> song (1964). I have an album title, but I don\u2019t wanna say it yet because if I say it and then I change it, I\u2019ll look like a dumbass. I have one I like, and I\u2019ve told it to everybody in the band, and they like it too. Unless something else killer comes along, that\u2019s what it\u2019s gonna be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Touring plans are in the works. \u201cWe\u2019d like to go out with somebody to support the record,\u201d Steve relates. \u201cI\u2019d hate to just have to headline. I don\u2019t think we would do it as much justice than if we went out with somebody, so right now we\u2019re speaking to booking agents. We\u2019ll see what happens, because obviously the record will speak volumes. With all the interviews that I\u2019ve done, all the people who\u2019ve heard the record love it and they\u2019ve given it five out of five or four-and-a-half out of five. The ratings have been very high, so I think with that we\u2019ll be able to secure a good tour. A good band will want to take us out because there\u2019s a good buzz on us, so we\u2019re definitely hoping for that. I want to get to the UK, and all over Europe. I want to do what I have to do to make it on the scale of Exodus, and on the scale of all of the bands that I\u2019ve played in the past. I have to do it that way, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m very much geared towards doing it in that light for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hatriot lending tour support to Testament is an appealing prospect. \u201cThat\u2019s up to their management and up to their booking agent, and all that stuff,\u201d the Hatriot frontman highlights. \u201cIt would be great, obviously. For a band like us that would be awesome, but it\u2019s up to those guys. I\u2019m sure if it\u2019s the right timing, that\u2019s gonna be possible. I\u2019ve gotta sit around and be very patient, but it\u2019s hard to be patient. It\u2019s very hard (laughs). We just want to go out right now and do everything we can do, but we just have to sit back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hatriot lending tour support to Exodus is an even more appealing prospect, however. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be opposed to that,\u201d Steve replies. \u201cWhy not? That would be great. C\u2019mon. Would you think that Paul Di\u2019Anno\u2019s Killers would ever open up for Iron Maiden? That would be great, and do you think at the end of the night you wouldn\u2019t see me onstage playing one or two songs? Sure I would. I\u2019m a fan like anyone first of all, so to be able to do something like that would be great. It\u2019s not something I would want to do first of all, but I would love to do it down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Should the lyricist rejoin his former group onstage to perform a handful of tunes, this would fuel speculation regarding a potential return. \u201cBut that\u2019s with anything now, and that\u2019s what you have the internet for,\u201d he points out. \u201cPeople read into everything, and that\u2019s the problem with it. I don\u2019t read the good, and I don\u2019t read the bad. I just go about with what I have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
