FIRE IN THE EMPIRE



1.)Please introduce yourself to the readers.

Hi everyone, we are Fire In The Empire, a metal band from Chorley, UK, and we comprise of Mick McCullagh (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Terry Casey (Rhythm Guitar), Sam Gee (Bass), Dean Marshall (Drums).





FIRE IN THE EMPIRE








2.)History of the band

We have been together for around 2 years now, Terry and Mick, have known each other since school, and always played guitar together. We have known Sam (bass) for a number of years, and myself (Dean, drums) met through mutual friends. We started off playing alot of local shows in theNorth West of England, and over the past 12 months we have played at venues up and down the country.
DEAN- DRUMMER FOR FIRE IN THE EMPIRE













3)How did you guys come up with the name Fire In The Empire?
Fire In The Empire came about at a time when the country was in deep recession, people were losing their jobs, and the main politicians in the UK were found out to be claiming millions of poundsin expenses. Its basically a big F*** You, to the politicians who are supposed to be taking care of our economy and best interests

4).You stated on your band page,that youa re influenced by a few great bands,to name a few :METALLICA,PANTERA ,MEGADETH AND ANTHRAX,to what extent do their influences play a part  on your band's music? 
First and foremost, we like to write music that we would enjoy playing ourselves.  Having grown up listening to Metallica, Pantera, etc, we find that we are more comfortable writing heavier material. I think that if you listen to us, you can definitely hear the catchy riffs of Metallica, combined with the rythmic drum beats of Pantera, so id say they do play quite a big part in our music, while trying to maintain an original sound.






MICK MCULLAGH-LEAD GUITARIST/VOCALS



5)Discography?
We recently released our debut EP earlier this year, To The Thinking Man's Horror.  We are set to record another EP early next year, as well as a full length album towards the middle/end of next year.






SAM GEE-BASSIST


6)Tell the readers where they can check out more of your band's music,updates and gig listing.
All the info on our band can be found on our facebook page www.facebook.com/fireintheempire or on twitter @fireintheempire

7).What are your songs about?
Our songs are based on a lot of different topics, Relationships, Politics, Frustration, Perserverance, Honesty. 


8)Any plans to go on tour for 2013?
We're going on tour late January for around 5-6 weeks around the UK, leading up to our slot at Hammerfest 2013 alongside Hatebreed, Killing Joke, Napalm Death and loads more!




TERRY CASEY-RHYTHM GUTARIST







9)Last words before we wrap things up?

We'd just like to say a massive thanks to Projekt Mecha for taking the time to get in touch, and for their support.
Take it easy, and hopefully we'll see you in the pit sometime soon! F.I.T.E

Projekt Mecha Magazine Featuring Crooz Clothing

1) What's up Crooz Clothing, welcome to Projekt Mecha!Hey guys, all good. This is Max Praditya from Crooz Thanks for having interest in us.
OUTSIDE CROOZ CLOTH SHOPHOUSE


2) Could you give us a rundown of the brand history?
Crooz Apparel & Co. (“Crooz”) was established in 2003. Most of the basic ideas came from me with the help from partner Ariana. Crooz initially started because I wanted to release my own band's merchandises. At that time, I was fronting for Sweet As Revenge, a post-hardcore band from Jakarta, Indonesia. I also designed the very first release t-shirt. The Do It Yourself concept was applied in the early years of Crooz. I went all around Jakarta with my classic scooter Vespa '76 to get the designs printed. At first, so many printing companies turned me down because they can't do small quantity. Until one day he met this old Chinese guy, who had more than 25 years experience in screen printing. Somehow this guy believed that this business will be big someday, and he agreed to work on his designs even in small quantity. So Crooz started productions with only 12 to 24 pieces for each design.
Today, our Headquarter is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. We are running 3 flagship stores and have more than 40 official distributors in Indonesia. We also have our distribution office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We also have people to take care of Crooz operation in Singapore, Philippines and Japan. We have a very strong connection in music and street communities around South East Asia.
A LOOK INSIDE THE STORE
Currently our Facebook account (facebook.com/croozcloth) has 480k likes and Twitter account @Crooz has 55k followers.

3) What is the main idea behind your brand? 
Basically Crooz wasn't intended to be just a regular clothing company who only prints and sells t-shirts. The main idea is the MOVEMENT, how to improve & generate local music scene to become a cult and gain more followers, and we strongly believe the selling will come afterwards. To cater with this, we have our own line called CFD merch to release collaborative merch with bands not only from Indonesia, but also from all around the world. We set up branches and work with people who have the willingness and the same spirit & ideas. To date, Crooz has worked on special collaborative projects with bands and street artists from all around Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, China and Japan. Currently we're setting up new projects in the Australia, UK, USA, and some other countries in the world.

CROOZ CLOTH EVEN HAVE THEIR OWN DENIM LINE


4) How did you guys come up with the name Crooz?
The name itself actually is a word play, it's a twist from the word "CRUISE" read /kro͞oz/ then became Crooz - LOL. Because we believe that running a business is like cruising, you may face a calm ocean but anytime it can turn into a terrible storm. Thus we have to adapt and learn how to make a smooth cruise and survive the journey.


5) You guys have been around since 2003 what were the challenges when you first started and how has Crooz clothes evolved over the years in terms of the design or has the theme remained constant?
As mentioned on the previous answer, the challenge is how we can print a small quantity for each design. Now, the challenges are more into how can we sustain and always come up with something fresh. Not only in terms of designs, but also in our movement. As for the designs and themes of course always evolved. For us, it's necessary to cope with the current trend but of course without leaving our idealism behind. So in a way, Crooz will still be easily recognized because it's Crooz


6) Since it's nearing 2013, we would like to ask if you have anything lined up for the next coming year?
We have lots of plans, since 2013 is our 10th anniversary. But you gotta wait and see it for yourself :)
SKATEBOARD DECKS LINE THE WALLS OF THE STORE


7) You guys seem to have a huge following in Asia but just wondering if Crooz Clothing will be venturing outside of Asia?
Of course. We're still working on projects for Europe and also US. Hopefully they will come to realization in 2013




EVEN THEIR STAIRCASE IS ADORNED WITH SNEAKERS



8) Describe the current streetwear scene in your city. Does it have any impact on your designs? How's the response towards the brand back home?
The streetwear scene here is basically pretty much the same as everywhere around the world. Still going with clean and minimalist designs with some twists here and there. As for us, the impact isn't that big. Yes we need to adapt with the current trend, but we also believe we have our own distinct style. So the key is how to blend all those and do it in Crooz style. So far, the responses are good. Since we have lots of varieties in our release, we can say each design has their own fans.
9) What is your secret to having sustained the brand for so long?
We love what we do, that's the first thing. Then followed with determination; consistency and of course hard work. Those are pretty much the basic and what we hold dear through all these years.


10) Shoutouts before we wrap things up?
First, we would like to thanks Project Mecha for this interview and to all of your readers all around the world. Thanks for giving us the chance to be read.

INTERVIEW WITH UPCOMING BRISBANE TATTOOED MODEL/PROJEKT VIRAL CREW MEMBER MALI KRYSTAL


















1.Hey Mali,how are you? Firstly,id like to welcome you to Projekt Mecha's magazine interview.

Thank you!









2.Please tell the readers in general more about yourself. 

Well I am an Art enthusiast and I have an obsession for fashion. I spend my spare time shopping, looking for new people to work with and learning. I am a strong believer that knowledge is a gift! 








3.Tell us how did you got started into a modelling career?

I joined Model Mayhem less than a year ago to try something different, and I was keen to see how far I could possibly go so I decided to start my portfolio on Model Mayhem and go from there.



4.What are your Modelling plans for the remainder of 2012 and have you planned any thing for 2013?

So far just magazine submissions, But I am hoping to head to the U.S either 2013 or 2014










5.Tell us a random fact about yourself.

Im double jointed in my legs so I can bend them all sorts of ways lol.




6.Do you have a pet peeve?

Probably.. People that aren't open minded!



7.What are you currently listening to?

Never See Tomorrow!


8.Your work line covers many genres but do you have aNY preference?

I wouldn't say I have a preference. Just the same as behind the cameras I like to mix a few genres together.


9.What's a usual day like for you as a model.

I don't actually do a lot of modelling but when I do its great. Meeting new people is probably the best thing.


10.Give us the run down on your tattoos that you currently have,do you plan to get more ink in the future? Any particular tattoo style that you like?

All my tattoos have separate meanings but at the same time they all symbolize, strength and important outlooks on life. I just got my throat and fingers tattooed a week ago, so can’t say I'm getting more any time soon. I have an addiction to script tattoos but Im breaking out of it and hope to get some Urban Artwork.

I have 24 tattoos and 8 piercings which alot are relates to gaming lol, I’m a hardcore gaming nerd and proud . Body modification has been a big part of my life since i was 16 and i am now 21 (as of the 29/11 lol) i joined Projekt due to the fact we all have very similar beliefs and views on things. They are some of the most amazing and interest people i've spoken to and I'm greatful for the opportunity to of been accepted by them. I'm a bass guitarist and have been for the past 9 years.

PROJEKT VIRAL CREW PHOTOGRAPHER
HOMETOWN:SAN FRANCISCO,MISSION BAY


DAMIEN LOYOLA A.K.A. MISTER DEMO

I was made in Mexico City born in San Francisco. I’m the son of ,two young immigrants that gained access into the
United States in 1982. 
As a young boy I was urged to be street smart, this was necessary growing up on 24th street.The constant Sirens, Crime, Wynos, Dope fiends, Dealers spitting drugs out their mouth, Nortenos on every corner, and the transients sleeping on the streets or pissing on walls was normal. While on the other hand the Mission District had Culture, beautiful murals, Victorian style homes with great detail, the annual Carnaval every May, and Galleria Da La Raza was my favorite place to be on Dia De Los Muertos. 
I've been surrounded by art all my life if i wasn't illustrating, I was flipping through magazines tearing out pages that caught my attention, watching my parents play their instruments getting ready for gigs, or studying my father dance to Cumbia, Salsa, and El Tri. 
At the age of 14 I picked up a camera put it down at 19 and picked it back up at 26 with the idea of a new medium. I started by photographing everything, yet nothing was interesting to me as documentary style photography. Little editing, unforced emotions and environment define my work. This current year, I've had many great opportunities arise which I'm very thankful for. I've met genuine people that are interested in my photographs, made solid networks and created bonds with some. The following year I plan to step out the box break photography rules and get creative shit I'm an artist. LOL
I've also managed to hook up with Projekt Mecha a worldwide art network that represents many artist from around the world. My longterm goal is to one day have a dual show in Long Beach Ca with photographer Jose Coesk Alcaraz, a show in Singapore and of course a show in Frisco, but in order to do that I need to produce more work so until then it’s just practice, practice and practice!

Projekt Mecha brings an inteview with ISuppose. An uprising rapper from Los Angeles and owner of a  production company. Just recently Isuppose and his crew has been doing a controversial tour called request your city,where he goes with his crew from City to City setting up shows. He's currently on Tour in Europe. This article was supposed to be out a while back,sorry for the delay and we hope you still enjoy the article.





1)Hey Chuck welcome to Projekt Mecha!
Tell us abit about yourself and your production company.
It's good to be involved. Much love. Well, I run my own independent multi production company called, I SUPPOSE PRODUCTIONS. We specialize in everything from film production, graphic design, event organizing, promotion & artist management. Been going at it since 2004 and things have never been so good. We have alot of crazy stuff going on this year!

2)How did you start getting to organize shows? What was it like when you organized your first show? Did it go smoothly?

I have been organizing shows since 2003. I was like 16 or 17 years old. I had a rap crew and we wanted to showcase our music, but we had no idea how to go about getting booked, so I decided to organize my own events. The first show I ever organized got canceled 1 day before showtime. It was a mini concert at a park gym. That was in early 2003 I believe. After that, I started organizing small shows at a local hot dog shop. Yup! Hip Hop and hot dogs! It doesn't get any better. Lol...

3)Has the journey with your productions company been an easy one over the years?
What were some of the challenges you faced?

Im very passionate about Hip Hop and Im a true product of the culture. I love all music in general and I love helping people and creating opportunities for others. With that being said, my journey has been amazing cause it all comes out naturally. The times have changed since I first started throwing shows, but Im one of the few promoters who have managed to ADJUST. Often, promoters get stuck in a time warp and they organize events that were DOPE a long time ago or aren't in the streets enough to know what's poppin. I started young and Im barely 25 and already have 10 years of experience. Im out on the streets every day so I know what people want and that has kept me consistent. Some of the challenges I've faced include partying too hard and slipping on my promotion, but that just motivates me to come harder the next time around. Lol.

4)You told me in an ealier convo we had,you did a tour in Europe,can you tell us more about that. How did you manage to pull off something like that?

Im part of a Hip Hop group called, RHYME ADDICTS. We're part of a booking agency overseas called KLH-MUSIC and wit their help, we have been able to start establishing our brand in Europe. XP, who is oneof the members in my group went out to Europe in March. He toured and rocked shows with the Gza of the Wu Tang. That's big for our brand. Im looking forward to touring Europe with the entire camp. It's gonna happen soon!

I started young and Im barely 25 and already have 10 years of experience. Im out on the streets every day so I know what people want and that has kept me consistent. Some of the challenges I've faced include partying too hard and slipping on my promotion, but that just motivates me to come harder the next time around. Lol.
4)You told me in an ealier convo we had,you did a tour in Europe,can you tell us more about that. How did you manage to pull off something like that?

Im part of a Hip Hop group called, RHYME ADDICTS. We're part of a booking agency overseas called KLH-MUSIC and wit their help, we have been able to start establishing our brand in Europe. XP, who is oneof the members in my group went out to Europe in March. He toured and rocked shows with the Gza of the Wu Tang. That's big for our brand. Im looking forward to touring Europe with the entire camp. It's gonna happen soon!

5)What are your goals for your production company for 2012?
I've been crazy busy these days! Just directed a music video for Jro of Tha Alkaholiks, a video for Mykill Miers, I-Man of the Mexikanz among other legends in the rap game, but besides that, I haven't been able to focus on the video production side of things. My focus is on throwing these shows and preserving the culture.

6)Do you have any venues where you usually organize your shows? Or is it a different venue for every show?

Im a Los Angeles based promoter so I keep all my events in LA or surrounding areas. I have different venues, depending on the event. The Terrace in Pasadena is like home to my shows right now. I started organizing a few outdoor festivals recently and im getting into organizing tours in High Schools, so Im excited. It ain't no fun if there isn't a challenge.

The album features Crooked I of Slaughterhouse, Big Twins of Infamous Mobb, DJ Solo of Soul Assassins, Styliztik Jones of the Likwit Crew, DJ Limegreen, DJ Mishaps (DJ for Evidence & Alchemist) and the homie Konfident. That album is a classic and it definitely helped us solidify our name in the Hip Hop movement. We also have countless mixtapes, mainly from my dude XP who has a crazy catalog called, "Building Blox" He dropped like 1,000,000 volumes in a few years! Lol. Check us out @www.rhymeaddicts.com

My biggest piece of advice would be "Make sure you love Hip Hop." Without love for the culture, you won't last very long. The times change every so often and you must be able to adapt, but while you're trying to figure things out, your love for Hip Hop is whats gonna keep you inspired. I've been broke as hell and have gone through rough times where I couldn't find venues and my shows were getting empty, but my passion for Hip Hop kept me determined and inspired. You're not always gonna make alot of money...damn...some of you might not see a dime for a long long time, so without love for the art, you won't enjoy the struggle. Besides that, just keep at it. The haters will always be around to put you down, but ignore them and prove yourself. Make yourself happy. I've booked legends like KRS-ONE, Onyx, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, X Clan, Percee P, Chino XL, Crooked I, Jro of Tha Liks, Defari and countless others and I can do that all day, but my focus right now is on the new generation, the local cats who need that opportunity. It's not about making a quick buck, it's about changing lives, inspiring people and opening doors for those without keys!

12)Shoutouts before we wrap up this interview ? 

I wanna give a shout out to all my fans and supporters! Without ya'll, I wouldn't be this strong! You guys are truly the backbone to my foundation. I appreciate the love and support. Special thanks to Projekt Mecha Magazine for reaching out and showing me love. Knowing people want to hear my story is life changing. Much respect. I would also like to send shout outs to my crew Rhyme Addicts, IM3 West, Big Twins, Infamous Mobb, Anthro Beats, Style Crafters, Yannick, KLH, Faktn Clothing, Street Product, Analigital, Too Ill Clothing, Abnormal Clothing, Phora, Nome One, Jro, Tha Alkaholiks, Crooked I, ASR Ent, The Terrace, Chinky Eyed, my family, friends and everyone who has been down with I Suppose productions since day one! Shout outs to my momma, pops and the rest of the world. Peace!
