SplatterTribe: First off, tell us about Thorlock, who are you guys and how did you come together?
((THORLOCK)): We are SHIV-LOCK, THOR-LUKE, and Joshua X79-F2. SHIV-LOCK and THOR-LUKE have been traveling through dimensions for some time. Our previous drum unit failed to report a bad motivator and was lost during a jump to light speed. Joshua X79-F2 was found on a mining colony, Sector 7 Level 9.
(Tribe Note: Wow, I wonder if these cats know Jen The Alien?)

SplatterTribe: Thor, God Of Thunder, Son Of Odin, that's a bold reference, does Thorlock actually possess the Hammer of the Gods????
((THORLOCK)): Insider secret: It's actually a rubber mallet.
SplatterTribe: I see you all wear robes during your shows, wearing anything under there or are we getting rocked nude??
((THORLOCK)): Actually, our complex genitalia requires us to wear custom harnesses and straps.
(Tribe Note: Shewww, Damn...... I know how that is....)
SplatterTribe: Metal Madness 3, April 25th and 26th of this year, Thorlock played this festival and was filmed by Brooks Kohler for a film called "Bar Chord Harvest", tell us about the event and what part you guys have in this d.v.d. that is soon to be released.

((THORLOCK)): That life form never reported at our destination. A bounty has been placed on his head in all systems. We blame our lack of Hollywood exposure solely on him. Whoever he is..Whatever his name was.
SplatterTribe: Thorlock has a connection to BannedPromotions. com, a site that claims "prohibiting commercialized music since 2006".Can you give us a little info on your relationship with these folks? |
((THORLOCK)): They promoted the show mentioned previously, and also acted as inquisitor during an interrogation session such as this one.
SplatterTribe: On March 1st Thorlock played a benefit concert for The American Red Cross, what drew you all to dedicate your time for this event?
((THORLOCK)): Our tones were actually responsible for the storms. We played for about a dozen or so Appalachians. It was later found that we actually did more harm than good.
SplatterTribe: Looks to me like you guys have had a pretty busy year, August 30th opening for Van Stone, how was that experience , you know this group very well?
((THORLOCK)): The Hawk was cruising for intergalactic carpet fresh to freebase. We helped him out of a jam involving some trannies from Alpha Centauri and he invited us to come rock with Van Stone in Saint Louis, MO. Those Earthlings know how to party.
SplatterTribe: For a 3 man band, your sound is very heavy, groove and riff laden true rock, who do you credit with the influence of your sound and what's going to keep you from selling out to the commercial bullshit were force-fed everyday?
((THORLOCK)): We are fully dedicated to DIY and underground sounds...unless there is money available, or someone there to do the shit work.

SplatterTribe: The question I ask in all my interviews, in the war of rock versus rap, obviously rap is "winning", what do you consider yourself in the rock army, general, officer, or private, and tell us why?
((THORLOCK)):
We are the ENOLA GAY.
SplatterTribe: As an unsigned group, what has your experience been trying to promote yourself in the music industry in this day and time?

((THORLOCK)): We've actually skipped this day and time because we found that it's easier to promote in the future!
SplatterTribe: I saw the statement on the bathroom wall, so, is Thorlock truly "louder than stupidity"?
((THORLOCK)): GUILTY AS CHARGED
SplatterTribe: Well, thanks again for taking the time to do this interview for splattertribe, tv , so I leave the last question open for your parting statement, rant, cuss, point of view, we don't censor so what's on your mind?
