show moreMelbourne metalcore outfit Windwaker are preparing to hit the road for their Love In The Dark Tour this July, celebrating the release of their latest album Love Language while at the same time ushering in the first headlining tour for newer (and returning) members Connor Robbins (synth and samples) and Liam Guinane (vocals).
Love Language set the tone for a future onslaught by Windwaker with a crushing sound that resonated with fans both old and new. For this tour the band are planning to perform tracks from that album for the first time.
Bass player Indey Salvestro joined HEAVY to discuss the shows.
"We're super excited," he beamed when asked about the tour. "We just started rehearsals but we're playing a lot of songs that we haven't played live before, especially off the album. I'm still wrapping my head around some of the parts (laughs), because I haven't played them since two years ago - it would have been a while."
While the nightly time on stage is always worth its weight in Gold, we ask Indey if the pre-tour practice and scrubbing up is worth the pain.
"I love it," he smiled. "It's kind of methodical. I just sit down and play on my bass and learn the songs again. You know how you have little memories pop up with certain sounds? I get that with songs too. So I'm relearning this song Trenches -that's probably the hardest song on bass on the album - and it's giving me flashbacks to when we record it. It's so funny. When we actually recorded that song I spent a good month learning it and it's so hard. It's written by our guitarist Jesse who is an absolute shredlord, and I have to basically follow this riff on bass as well and it's a ridiculously fast riff. I learnt it for a month and went into the recording studio with Chris and Jesse and Jesse changed the riff on me on the day! (laughs). I already had it muscle memoried into my fingers and was ready to go and he changed the whole thing. It just ruined me."
In the full interview, Indey runs through some of the new songs Windwaker will be playing, preparing for tour, the reception for Love Language, bringing Caskets out from the UK for their first Australian tour, welcoming Liam back to the band and why he was the standout choice, what Connor brings to the sound and more.
