Episode #252 - Interview with Russ Tippins and Cindy Maynard of Tanith - Part 1

May 23, 2025 • Night Demon • Episode 252

This week, we bring you the first installment of Jarvis' interview with Russ Tippins (guitars/vocals) and Cindy Maynard (bass/vocals) from Metal Blade recording artists Tanith. Both musicians discuss their formative years, including Cindy's travails trying to learn guitar as a lefty and Russ's experiences in England starting a band (Satan) with his schoolmates. They talk about the creative process and the tendency of "new" songs - especially those recorded after a band's first album - to evolve and morph after they are performed live many times. You will also hear how Russ and Cindy decided to form Tanith after playing cover songs and realizing how well their voices fit together. The interview covers a lot of ground, with fascinating stories and an abundance of laughter.
