Cale Gontier of Art of Dying
Welcome to the world of Art Of Dying, a band out of Canada, that has been killing it on the recent Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival Tour and gaining new fans by the thousands. With their Vices & Virtues CD a strong success and a new single, “Get Thru This”, just hitting the charts, the band is on a meteoric rise. “[Uproar] has been fantastic,” Gontier told me, the excitement apparent in his voice. “It’s better than expected. We expected it to be a big awesome tour but I think it’s exceeded all our expectations, to be honest. It’s busy as hell. We’re on at four in the afternoon and then there’s tons of press and tons of this and that going on, but the crowds have just been fantastic … Everyone is just rocking out and having a good time.” And the fans coming out to see Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Sevendust and Bullet For My Valentine have taken a major liking to AOD. “It’s funny to watch the whole thing kind of build,” Gontier explained about the band’s popularity growing right before his eyes. “We were on the Avalanche tour a little while back and now we’re on our second single from Vices & Virtues, so you can kind of see from the stage looking out, seeing it start to build a little bit. We got some more people singing along to the songs and I think people are definitely a little more familiar with it. And then to the new people we’re playing to everyday, I hope they’re digging it. It seems like it, you know. The crowds have been rocking out with us and having lots of fun and we’re getting lots of good reviews.” Well, well, well (laughs) I was a bit of a fucking bad ass kid, I think (laughs). When I was younger I was always getting into trouble here and there, nothing too crazy. But I was just young and liked to have fun, not a hell of a lot different from right now, I don’t think (laughs).Robert Cray Strong Lyrics - News
