For Sam and Logan, they are the "Mario Brothers" when it comes to Greet Death. They always have their eyes fixated on the next goal or step in the process. Some would call them hard workers, but for the two best friends, even brothers at this point, it helps them not get caught up in the stress and depression that comes from life. The band is always working on new music, and while on the road they like to line up shows so that they don't have a night off. It's so that they can debrief real quick and move onto the next part of the process without getting caught up in their thoughts.
For many, Dixie Land was an introduction to the band from Michigan. Logan recalls working at Dairy Queen when he took a break to look through his phone. That is when he saw Pitch Fork's review about their album. Logan remembers thinking to himself, "I am not just a Dairy Queen worker, I am a real musician." The band finally had the recognition they deserved. However, Sam says it has always been an organic growth for the band. They spent a long time building a fanbase and the release show was a true success. It was certainly a moment that put the band on the map.
Two years later, New Hell was released. It showed the real writing style of Greet Death. Songs that bleed into each other and lyrics that are mostly about their ongoing battle with depression. Sam gives a lot of thought about where songs should go. It's like a cinematic experience, where people shouldn't just skip to the end to rate a movie, they have to watch the beginning and the middle. The same goes for a record. Sam and Logan have always respected records for that reason. You are practically forced to listen all the way through.
Greet Death currently has three new songs out. It continues with the usual theme of depression and other life difficulties. The two lifelong band members recognize that it's not only a chance for them to grasp their own thoughts, but someone else might be able to relate as well. This was another fun episode where you get to see a connection that is like none other. Check out the band below!
