GW: So, let's start from the beginning... how did this all happen?

Bryan: How did what happen?

GW: Well, you know... Henry Krinkle and The Ministry of Truth Quartet... where did you guys meet?

Bryan: College. Chris (bass) and i were roomates. We were both big metal fans. He was more into classic stuff and i was more of a fan of crazy thrash/death shit like slayer and sepultura. i had fucked around on guitar some, as had he, so i just asked him if he wanted to start a band. He said sure, and within a month he had picked up bass. That's when it all started.

GW: So, that's it...?

Bryan: What the hell else do you want to know?

GW:
