For instance “In The End”, it has more of an uplifting feel at the end. I think it was lyrically, emotionally, some of the longer stanzas at the ends of the songs, I kind of refer to as the epic songs. Metal Exiles: Considering your health issue, what came out of you musically while you were beginning your fight with cancer? So for me, it couldn’t have happened at a better time. I was fortunate enough to happen to be recording a record at the time. In the movies it’s always not a good thing, I mean it is never a good thing really but I think one of the keys to a healthy recovery is being able to throw yourself at something that has nothing to do with your treatments and all that stuff. When we hear cancer it’s like holy shit, whoa. Doing the record is what gave me something to focus on. I just had to focus on the record really. It just kind of solidified the grit, you know what I mean. Nathan: Any thoughts I had of packing it in were pre-diagnosis really.
Metal Exiles: With your cancer diagnosis being given at the onset of the record, did you ever feel as though you should pack it in or did it push you harder to finish the record? You agonize over it in between records, is anybody gonna like it, is anybody gonna play the songs, things like that. I think reviews are starting to trickle in and radios are starting to jump on board. With the record coming up real soon here, I’m starting to feel validated.
Nathan: I’m not gonna lie, it feels pretty damn good. Metal Exiles: How does it feel to be the singer of Shaman’s Harvest right now? Interview with Nathan Hunt, vocalist/guitar This band has such depth, they have struggled through some major challenges and have not let anything beat them down as they have pushed through times that could’ve easily caused them to throw in the towel. The album is already receiving rave reviews and its current single “Dangerous” is gaining popularity already. This song is also included on their upcoming album ‘Smokin’ Hearts and Broken Guns” as an extended version. Though they have a sound that is undeniably unique, their first big break was with their song “Dragonfly” off of their “Shine” album in 2009. After forming in 1996, Shaman’s Harvest has made many attempts to become part of the mainstream music industry with multiple albums. As I heard him whistle for his dogs (an Italian Mastiff and a Pug) our talk was light hearted but very informative and entertaining. Waking up to an interview first thing in the morning is probably not the ideal way to start a day, but Nathan handled it with a smile and energy.
