Metal To The Masses 2021 Interviews: Inerrant (Interview By Matt Bladen)

Interview with Inerrant by Matt Bladen

MoM: Give us an introduction to the band for anyone that doesn't know you. Band name, members, style etc?

Inerrant: We are Inerrant. Our lineup consists of: Paul Fortescue (Vocals), Ben Woosnam (Vocals), Jake Thomas (Drums), Lee Jenkins (Bass), Gareth Rowley (Guitar)

Our style varies quite wildly which is kind of essential for us as we never know where it's gonna go from track to track which keeps things fresh and exciting for us. Who knows what we'll do next but if we were forced to sum it up, at it's core, I'd say we're essentially a hardcore/punk band.

MoM: Elephant in the room. How have you coped with the pandemic? What have you been up too?

Inerrant: Well, this band started right around the time that the pandemic hit and to be honest, it's been some kind of fucked up blessing in disguise. All our music is home recorded. We do everything in our own houses and pass ideas back and forth so where this pandemic has stalled a lot of bands doing their thing, we've kind of thrived and maybe got a little bit more attention than we otherwise would've. You have to try and look at the positives in everything and we see this as mother nature giving us a leg up. During all this we've written, recorded and released 2 albums and a covers EP and we're currently in the middle of writing and recording a double album. No complaints here.

MoM: What experience have you had with Bloodstock/M2TM in the past?

Inerrant: Well, 2 of our members have played Bloodstock via M2TM. I can't really speak too much on their behalf about their experiences, but I know that they had a blast and are raring to give this another crack.

MoM: How are you feeling entering this slightly restructured M2TM format?

Inerrant: Super excited. Doesn't matter if we win or not, we're all just itching to get out there and level some venues. Nobody really knows how this is gonna go, but it's been long overdue and we can't wait to let out our frustrations on that stage.

MoM: What would it mean to play Bloodstock? Would it be more significant doing so this year, after everything that's happened with live music?

Inerrant: Absofuckinglutely! I think this will be very significant, not just for bands, but for audiences also. Everybody needs that release and it's gonna be euphoric. I think we'd be very surprised to win. If we do, our tiny minds will be blown. And if we don't, we'll go down fighting.

MoM: Give us a three word rundown of what to expect in your performance?

Inerrant: PURE. FUCKING. ADRENALINE!!

Final Thought: A vicious experienced band who good do very well!
