Interview with Purge Of Lilith's Emilio Truitt

A few day ago I interviewed someone very special to me who's name is Emilio Truitt who is also the front man of VA's Purge Of Lilith.

Q: How did you come up with your band name?

A: We were all in a Facebook chat talking about cool band names and we wanted something dark and we love folklore and Lilith, we wanted that for sure. I wanted Purge in there because I was on a Purge movie binge and we wanted something relatable so.

Q:What is unique about your band?

A: There's a lot, uh aside from us being flaming homos (off the record), we add many different styles of music, dark, heavy, Periphery, we are the upcoming of a new era of metal.

Q: Describe Purge Of Lilith in one word.

A: Gifted.

Q: What is your role in the band?

A: Book shows, program recordings, yell into the mic, write and edit lyrics, and take the trash out every Saturday.

Bands you should know: Encasing Embrace

Encasing Embrace is a melodic metalcore band from Alexandria, VA. The band consists of bassist Bowtie Steele, vocalist Ryan Thornton Olsen, lead guitarist Matt Neyland, and drummer Malcolm Richardson. These guys are no small band either! Having over 2,000 Facebook likes, popping up in the search bar on youtube like any other large band, playing shows like crazy, and working on an album Encasing Embrace is getting bigger by what seems like the second. The band is already a household name around most teens in the metal scene! What are these guys really like though? Well I can tell you from experience they are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet and will go out of their way to make any fan happy. I have the wonderful pleasure of being friends with Bowtie who is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met despite the heavy sound of the band and the metal look. If you've never checked them out I suggest you should, these guys are definitely worth your time. Give them a Facebook like (hi this is that link), a listen to on Soundcloud (that link is here), check out their YouTube (just look up Encasing Embrace), and stay tuned into my blog for a full review of their album when it surfaces!
