Audio Journal : 24/05/2010

Okay, okay. So I said that this week I'd be posting my interview with Glasgow-based experimental musician Alistair Crosbie. I lied.

Instead, I've completed an interview with Phil Costello, vocalist and guitarist in metal band Diamondsnake. Diamondsnake is the brainchild of electronic musician Moby and the aforementioned Costello, and I've been an ardent Moby fan since he released the 'Move' EP in 1993.

Moby 'Move'

If you've bought the 2006 Moby compilation Go - The Very Best Of Moby, you'll know that Moby is an artist fond of jumping musical genres at will. Most people are familiar with his work on the hugely successul album Play, which blended gospel samples with hip-hop beats, but few will remember the thrash-punk album that came before, Animal Rights. Although best known as an Christian-vegan electronic musician, Moby has also produced material for Guns n' Roses and Ozzy Osborne, and first dabbled in music with the hardcore band Vatican Commandos.

Anyway, enough of the preamble. I was lucky enough to secure this interview with Costello for my Documentary Evidence website. Click here to read it. And to download free Diamondsnake tracks from Facebook, click here.
