A brief chat with Twiztid

Yellow Scene: What have you been up to since we last spoke nearly five years ago?

Jamie Madrox: Putting out those three albums, touring, doing interviews, doing all kinds of cool sh*t. It’s been a crazy ride. [Regarding the departure from Psychopathic], we like to liken it to a situation where it was time to leave the nest, spread our wings, and see if we could take the world on by ourselves. There’s only so much you can learn, and then it’s time to go off by yourself. Those guys [ICP] will always be our boys.

YS: The new record, The Darkness – how do you think you’ve grown over the past couple of albums?

JM: With every record, we’re never content. We’re not the kind of people who settle for, “That’s cool – so what?” We keep doing something until someone’s like, “My God, it’s perfect. Just leave it alone.” We like to try to outdo ourselves. That seems to be the challenge.

YS: Do you like playing Colorado?

JM: Absolutely. Colorado always shows us love. There’s a lot of family there. It’s always a really good time, without question. Denver was one of the first major core cities that really accepted us. We have a soft spot in our heart for Colorado.

YS: What can we expect from the set?

JM: Pandaemonium. Us doing what we do. Rocking the dead.

YS: What’s next, after this tour?

JM: Getting ready to start recording more material. There are some talks about doing some projects and what-not. Also, there’s talk of a Blaze [Ya Dead Homie] project – trying to get him back in the studio to get his record recorded. We’ll definitely be keeping busy.
