As with the Wolves of Avalon, you’ve had numerous guests on various Meads of Asphodel albums, these ranging fromMirai from Sigh to Hawkwind members Alan Davey and the late Huw Lloyd Langton. How do these collabora�ons usually come about, and which have been the most memorable to work with? Our most treasured guest is the underrated guitarist, Huw Lloyd Langton. Not only was he a gi�ed guitarist, he was also one of the most genuine fellows I have ever met. We spent many an hour in the studio, and he even invited us to his home to do some recording. We were genuinely saddened when he passed away. For me the Guests reflect my own love for the music they represent. I am a huge Venom and Hawkwind fan so having, Mantas, Tony, Huw and Alan Davey respec�vely on board is more than just a guest appearance. I am also a great fan of, Amebix, Primordial, Sigh, Acheron, Drudkh, Nokturnal Mortum, Graveland, Bulldozer, Taake, and have had the great joy of having guests from each band on our releases. Out of everything you’ve released with the Meads of Asphodel, which has been your favourite of those and why? Are there any least favourite releases from the Meads discography? The, Welcome To Planet Genocide mcd is my favourite Meads release. The, My Beau�ful Genocide, track just rips your balls off. James cannot be underes�mated with regards to being the very engine room of the Meads, and that can be said of James Marinos from the Wolves of Avalon. I don’t have a worst Meads moment; all the songs have been a joy to be part of. Where do you see the Mead of Asphodel going from here, and if you were able to take the Meads in any musical and lyrical direc�on you wanted without worrying about external factors, where would you go with it? I would love to do a kind of musical to vinyl/ cd, a concept albumwith the players having their own lines. A play set to audio. Finally, thank you once again for taking part in this interview, is there anything you’d like to add or say to people reading this as a final thought? Thanks for your �me and support.
