Nathan Mahl Quotes

When I wrote most of the songs for "Heretik", back in 1999-2000, I intended it to be a double cd. I develloped 12 songs - 6 per disc. But as the time arrived to record, I discovered that it was very difficult to wrap up this concept in 2 hours of material, and I decided then to develop the concept further, so it became a trilogy. It also made sense to me to record and release each chapter seperately at that point, so that I could release each one as it was conceived.

Nathan Mahl started out, in 1980, as an offshoot of all our favorite prog and fusion bands of the time. It was always meant as a rather aggressive outlet for all our musical frustrations. "Parallel eccentricities" was an attempt to capture the essence of the kind of effect we had on our audiences - on the rare occasions when we did gig. I spent the next 2 decades - almost - learning and writing more music, and recording lots of stuff with different lineups. By the time "Heretik 3" was done, both Dan Lacasse (drummer) and Mark Spenard (guitarist) had returned to the band. All the different directions I've explored have taken me back to the most solid formation of the band we could have; the original one! If I didn't write tunes that these guys liked to play, they wouldn't have come back. Now we must really take this band out to gig!
