1. How did you get started with music and how did you develop your sound? How did the name "Omen of Dust" come about and is there any meaning to it?
Omen of Dust is the product of a long journey & an evolution over time. The songs are most influenced by both classic heavy rock & metal plus the 1990's Nu-Metal / Grunge scene. The actual band name is derived from a metaphorical reference being that all material existence is temporal in nature.
2. What do you want people to take away from your music?
Would like our audience to connect with our passion as artists & derive something positive from the experience.
3. How would you describe your sound to the average listener?
Our sound is a blend of driving metal riffs, edgy lyrics & aggressive vocals.
4. Who are three bands you’d like to tour with?
We would like to tour with Slipknot, Godsmack & Korn.
5. What's your thoughts on AI generated music?
Not a fan of AI or computer composed music.
6. What’s your take on the current state of Metal?
State of Metal seems to be inundated by repetitive, copycat & uncreative music.
7. What’s the current music scene like there in Florida?
Florida local music scene for original rock & metal bands is lacking in good venues that actually promote enough to draw a sizeable crowd.
8. What’s your take on the royalties that streaming services pay out to artists?
Streaming royalties are a complete joke enriching the platform ownership & impoverishing the artist.
9. What’s next for Omen of Dust?
Next up for Omen of Dust will be a pro level photo shoot, a new single called Behemoth & a pro quality performance video shoot for that song.
10. Any shoutouts?
