What do you think of the comparisons Zero Hour gets with Meshuggah?
TIPTON: I think Meshuggah is a great band. I own their CDs. We do not sound like them. They are definitive in their sound and we are definitive in ours. There is a whole different outlook between our bands. Some of the riffing, we both use seven strings – although I think they use eight strings now – so maybe we are defining the genre we play in. We do polyrhythms too, which Meshuggah loves. We had those earlier in our career. They like to follow formats, but we don’t except maybe on Dark Deceiver. Ultimately though, we do not sound like Meshuggah. METALLIAN: How is the band gelling? TIPTON: To be honest, there was more interaction on Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond than on this album. My brother and I took complete control of this album. That was not by choice. Chris was dealing with some problems in his personal life – going through a divorce – and he was running behind on material. It was like A Fragile Mind which took a long time to come out.
