Chapter 15: "New American Filth"...as read by Collin Simula of (Maranatha vocalist/guitarist) - The young Michigan/Ohio transplant - Early, and very unorthodox induction to Symphony In Peril - Tapping out, then falling "In Da Cut" (that's a smart joke) - The art project that became the birthplace of Maranatha - New American Records, July 24th
Speaking from experience, we've found that some of the busiest folks are the ones who are trying to be a spouse/parent AND still produce and be involved with relevant music. Enter one Collin Simula of Maranatha. Listen to his story from the early Ohio hardcore scene, his very strange invite to play in Symphony In Peril, switching roles in the same band, and then starting one on your own. His project "Maranatha" has proven to be some of the heaviest stuff you've ever heard, all the while being able to lyrically challenge beliefs and leaving Christians with a sour stomach. Yes, sure there is an inverted cross...but you need BOTH sides of the story. Collin is now sharing equal band duties with bassist/frontman Jack Huston and has taken Maranatha from a self-contained recording in his son's closet to one of the heavier live experiences Columbus, Ohio has to offer. Follow the link below to check out the new album "Filth" which is being released on July 24th on New American Records. Go get some.
