Former Internal Bleeding Vocalist, Frank Rini Joins TeethoftheDivine Staff!!!
Teethofthedivine is thrilled to add an actual, real live musician to its ranks. Hopefully this one will last longer than Ben Hogg (Beaten Back to Pure etc) god love ‘im. Frank was the vocalist on two Internal Bleeding albums (as you will find out below), and brings that experience as well as a ton of contacts in the scene and energy with him for reviews and interviews. Frank currently also writes for allabouttherock.com, but is bringing his background in the industry to our little site. Take a few minutes to meet the latest addition and actual veteran musician to the teethofthedivine. staff.
What are you best known for in the music industry/accomplishments?
Singing on the first two Internal Bleeding albums, Voracious Contempt and The Extinction of Benevolence as well as numerous guest appearances on releases from Dawn of Demise, Defeated Sanity, Immortal Suffering, Disfigured, Dystopia and more guest appearances forthcoming. Also playing with almost every death/thrash band in the ’90s and touring North America with Six Feet Under & Immolation
Why write for Teeth of the Divine?
Well I am still writing for All About The Rock, out of the UK, but I have so many interviews/reviews that the best way to disseminate them was through 2 separate sites, where each item posted, will be exclusive to that site. I have loved TOTD for many years and always respected the work they do for the bands, and Erik and I hit it off right off the bat. Also my wife is like you need to get paid for this stuff. I’m like, no, I do this for free, for the sheer love of the scene, which includes fans, bands, labels, and sites like this. The same reason why I was in the scene before- the sheer love of the music scene & fans, nothing more, nothing less
What do you do when not working or writing for the sites?
Spend time with my wife and kids, which are my life! Going to concerts, hanging out with friends. I also listen to plenty of death, grind & thrash bands, eating at new wonderful places, going to the gym, watching my under performing Dallas Cowboys year after year and watching horror movies.
Anything else you would like to add?
Well I hope people like my style of interviewing & reviews. I try and personalize them and throw some humor/sarcasm in the reviews and interviews. I also like to ask some different types of interview questions so the reader gets to know the band/person more. Ultimately if the review/interview can help the band/label sell 1 more CD or shirt than I will see it as an accomplishment. Remember keep the scene united and go out and discover new and exciting bands and make sure to share your findings with the metal masses. \m/
