Questions answered by guitar player and songwriter Stu Callinan.

Hey guys, first of all welcome in T-Town, Tillywood, Killburg, Tilburg Metal City NO 1 in The Netherlands. Welcome at the Little Devil, our proud, our pride, hometown Metal bar! So you’re on the right spot, still because of a lack of time, I have just a limited amount of questions. Still hope you think they are worth to answer.

During my roadtrip with Mr. Jon Cyriis and the guys from Holland, Brasil and the U.S.A, (my friends) who actually were part of the American Speed Metal band Agent Steel in the spring of 2019. I have met the Culprit guys at the hotel where we also stayed with the band Agent Steel, after our gig at the German Keep It True Festival. I was their tour manager at this date. No more Agent Steel shows followed and I guess there will be no more future gigs coming up either. Nevertheless, at the hotel I met the guys of Culprit and spoke to them. I contacted them later on Facebook and bass player ‘Scott Earl’ was so friendly to answer my boring questions, haha…

When this interview was confirmed, my good friend Jörg Müller from The-Pit.de and I didn´t know what to expect. We didn´t know which member would do the interview. We didn´t know if they already wore their costumes, and we didn´t know if we could do a serious interview with them at all! Could they give “normal” answers? Or would they be captured in their roles? Would we be “killed” with their rubber weapons afterwards, like in most of their TV interviews? I felt I wasn´t well-prepared this time. When we entered the backstage room, many normal-looking guys sat around on the sofas, and we didn´t know who was in the band and who was not, haha! But singer Blothar and original rhythm guitarist BalSac, the Jaws of Death were really cool and funny guys. The balance between humor and serious answers was perfect in my opinion! Even if you don´t like their music, you will surely have fun by reading this!
