Tyler: [00:00:00] Yeah, that's me 

Brian Prime: too. yeah. I can't help it every, every 

Tyler: 45 minutes. 

Brian Prime: Yeah. I just have to hydrate, you know? okay. Well we can go ahead and get started. Usually we just kind of start, but I'll do an intro this time. So, welcome to Void Signal. I'm your host Brian Prime.

I'm joined, this week by, Tyler is the name right, but you record as circuit preacher. 

Tyler: Yes, that's correct. 

Brian Prime: pleasure to meet you. I'm glad to have you on the show. I saw you announced for Dark Force Fest, for next year. that's pretty exciting. I'm looking forward to catching your live show.

so the first question I'm gonna put to you is just that you're something of a fresh face, to, this scene, whichever scene we want to. label, but, you're sort of just getting your feet under you. You've got an album out that is stellar, blistering from track to track.

where did you come from? How did you get here and what led you to this place? 

Tyler: Yeah. so first, thanks for having me on. I really appreciate it. we're very [00:01:00] excited to play at Dark Force Fest. I've been doing this for I guess a little over a year and a half now. I think the first song we put out was January, 2022.

Mm-hmm. And, so how did I get into this? I have played in metal bands, death metal since I was probably 14. I started playing bass around like 12 or 13, and as soon as I got. Good enough at it to, play with other people. I just started doing that, playing little bars and stuff. so I did that till I guess my early twenties.

then I've played at churches, then I picked up guitar, started learning, you know, r and b gospel kind of stuff. during Covid, I wanted to learn work on my keyboard chops. 

Brian Prime: Mm-hmm. 

Tyler: And 'cause guitar is my primary instrument. And so I started working on that and just became really interested in synthesizers, [00:02:00] music production.

I've recorded, you know, with bands going to like a studio and doing a little EP or something, but I never knew anything about. music production dolls, mixing and mastering, all that stuff. So I've, became obsessed with it, you know, listening to all the podcasts and things I could, and that basically led us to here.

Cathartic for me. Just make something that getting ideas out of my head and thoughts out of my head, and this is what it. Kind of ended up being 

Brian Prime: Yeah. And seems to have worked out for you well so far. I mean, playing, big festivals. so, you know, and not often do we get to hear the sort of, success story that you seem to be enjoying a little bit of, you know, fresh onto the scene playing festivals.

I think your work kind of speaks for itself, as a way of sort of explaining, why you've come as far as you have. and the background is interesting to me, and I do detect a bit of a Southern accent. So I'm, going along with like the whole, [00:03:00] your sort of preacher theme and everything.

and you mentioned performing in church and everything. I would imagine that growing up in the South and you mentioned r and b and everything, It's an interesting sort of a filter that you bring to that upbringing, and sort of to see that play out, through you and through your music. how much of a factor do you feel that is in maybe setting you apart from your contemporaries in this.

Tyler: I hope that it's a differentiator. you gotta have a differentiator in a good way. Right? So you might as well use whatever pain or grievances you've got that are unique. there's some things I hear that are 30 years old 

And I'm like, wow, that was, a very similar. Lyric. maybe they couldn't put the words to, faith deconstruction or something at that time. Because we didn't really have the internet. people were just straight up raw dogging like faith crises and stuff.

it's pretty hard to [00:04:00] imagine. so yeah, I'm from North Carolina and, Virginia my entire life. Unfortunately haven't lived in any exciting place like. LA or Paris or Brazil or something. Sure, so it's, very, you know, conservative Baptist Methodist kind of upbringing.

And, yeah, so I think there's plenty of those, themes and, concepts that, I think There's some things that are. Important to take away from those traditions. But there's a lot of things that I personally feel like, harm society. Sure. To put it simply so. 

Brian Prime: Yeah, agree.

I think it, you know, just, gaining that understanding of, growing up in a place where theocracy is everywhere, right? Like religion informs like your neighbor's opinions, and it's so ingrained and ingratiated [00:05:00] and, people are stuck in the ways that they are.

Just curious really quick, how well does it go over when you tell or if you even do, when you tell people the name of your project? 

Tyler: I would say that it's gone over pretty well. I find that, in Europe, I guess some people. haven't said the word circuit before, so that was kind of surprising to me.

Mm-hmm. just how people say it. But, the name, I think it's relatively self-evident. I mean, it was one of the first ones that we kind of brainstormed. Mm-hmm. I don't know if you're familiar with circuit riders or circuit preachers, but they were like late 17 hundreds, early 18 hundreds traveling.

Preachers because there weren't that many churches. So yes, they would travel on like horseback and, some of their diaries are pretty wild. They only live to be like 30 something Yeah. It's pretty funny. But, or not funny, I guess some of them are pretty bad. I mean, you know, my bad. the disrespect, it's tragedy plus 

Brian Prime: time [00:06:00] is comedy. 

Tyler: know? Right. so I think it kind of just makes sense with. 

Brian Prime: mm-hmm. 

Tyler: haven't anything 

Brian Prime: Yeah, absolutely. It was a thing that like stood out to me 'cause I was familiar with circuit preachers.

I'd read a few of those, in, one of my, classes in college. And, I liked how well it worked on the two levels. quite a fan of that. oh, cool. 

Tyler: What class was it? 

Brian Prime: It was some sort of American literature. We also read, John Muir and, some Teddy Roosevelt and some people who didn't like Teddy Roosevelt, they were quite interesting stories to read. I was such a fan of the way that it worked on those two levels, 

Very clever. I know you did sort of mention playing overseas. You played, wave, wave, Gothic, Tren, Reen, I dunno how to say it. Mm-hmm. Good enough. it's Reen. Yeah, that was right. The truffle festival. you played that one. yeah, quite an accomplishment. how did that go?

I mean, for a young project for you to be suddenly [00:07:00] thrust onto a big stage. what went into that? 

Tyler: I released, a single in January, 2022. And then, I started writing and writing and I talked with Raf from Dark Tunes pretty early on.

I would just send him things when I'd make them. And I don't know how many songs I wrote, You make a lot of things and you'd throw 'em away. he liked the direction I was taking so I started working with him around. May or something 

And so we knew we had a bunch of stuff in the works and I just kept, releasing single after single. And then he, the different labels talk with, the festival directors and pitch, Their band's on their label. And the festival decides who they want to take, you know, for whatever reasons.

You know, sometimes I guess it could be logical, sometimes, subjective. But, as soon as we found out we had the opportunity, I was like, well, I don't care if I have to donate plasma or [00:08:00] sell my car I'm a thousand percent going to this. And I'll find the money to do it when we get there.

Yeah. so, you know, I immediately said yes. And I think that, kind of helped with really just being like, okay, I gotta write as serious as I can. Because, I have it in my mind. I'm gonna be playing pretty much every single thing I write on stage. So I want it to be, you know, fun for me.

It feels fun to listen to. so, we went there and that was, fantastic. If you ever get a chance to go, it was absolutely amazing. Leipzig is a city about an hour and a half south of Berlin. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go to Berlin. I really wanted to, but it's just so exhausting flying there.

And then the festival is. I think about 120 to 130 bands usually. 

Brian Prime: Yeah. 

Tyler: And it spread over about 10 or 12 venues. So it firstly, do not go there thinking you're gonna see every band that you want to on the [00:09:00] bill, because they're all happening simultaneously. And it's also kind of hard to navigate the tram.

thankfully everybody speaks English, figuring out, I mean, gosh, my phone died. Like six miles outside the city after seeing Horsch. I have no idea where I'm, but thankfully, you know, most everyone speaks English there, so that was pretty nice. I don't speak German.

so yeah. we played at a place called the Mort, Sty, it's kind of like right downtown near the college there. And I guess it's like an old. bunker, like underground, so they have DJs and stuff Yeah, it was a ton of fun. I would love to go back even just to attend again.

It was a really great time. 

Brian Prime: Yeah. And that seems true of, I mean, I'm sure with an international festival, it's even more of an ask upon someone to, Hey, outside the festival, I'm gonna try and take in this. Sight or see this thing, even just going to Mechanisms Festival in [00:10:00] Seattle where I'm like, oh, I'll have the time to, no, I won't.

I'm not gonna have the time to go do a fucking thing because I'm gonna, I'm gonna be tired from the night before and I'm not gonna want to jump up and go walk somewhere and do with it. Like it's, takes a huge toll and adding international travel to that, like where jet lag and so on. I mean, that's a lot to take in.

Congratulations on that, by the way. that's a big win, for any artist in this sort of a scene who's coming up. so now that you've got this, bit of a spark behind this thing, do you find that you are, taking it a lot more seriously since this sort of success has found you?

Tyler: I definitely take it seriously, like it's a part-time job or something. But, obviously I wish that I could tour, but maybe those cards will happen, later in life. I do think I want it to be awesome. I want, every release to be an improvement and so it's.

It's just a constant [00:11:00] learning thing where sure, you do something and then nine months later you're like, oh my God, I cannot believe that I wasn't doing X, y, Z on that track. Yeah, you want to go back and fix it, but it just is what it is. I mean, it's just art I don't wanna just churn things out just to do it, but want it to be authentic and.

lyrics that I sincerely mean. And, you know, I think that those are the songs that stand out the most to me, at least that I personally like is when it's, heartfelt. I feel like if I don't have anything to say, then I'm just not gonna say it. 

Brian Prime: I'm a big lyric guy myself.

I pay attention. some music is just for fun and I don't care. and some music is really good and has terrible lyrics. looking at your frontline assembly. But it's okay. who cares?

that was the thing that I appreciated while listening to your record was, attention to lyrics and, in particular this latest single with, arm Man [00:12:00] Mobius, Really good. what a fantastic sort of blending of styles and elements and talent.

really fantastic. and the original song, also really, really good and, one that I feel is a good example of your sort of, lyrical, prowess, I guess I would say. but it was a thing that kind of grabbed my attention as well as a lyric person. So, Yeah. 

Tyler: well, I really appreciate it.

that's probably the main driver of every track. I think the music kind of comes secondary, like whatever sound makes sense with that set of lyrics, that's what it's gonna be. But yeah, I was really, really happy with how, what Mobius did with that So yeah, I've listened to it about 50 times.

Brian Prime: Yeah, it's pretty great. he's, a very talented individual in his own right and to, especially hearing his sound and his style and everything, like smashed up against something else that is already very cool. I feel like it just kind of makes a magic, very much so. Whether that's, this track with you or the track with Phil Gonzo [00:13:00] or whatever.

oh yeah. Yeah. That one's amazing too. Oh yeah, that one's fucking great. that one fucks. so what is next on your horizon, for either personally or professionally? you've got this record out, got this collab out. what's next on your horizon? 

Tyler: right now I think just writing, I'm planning to have an album early, 2025.

Mm-hmm. it's ahead of Dark Force Fest Yeah, really just trying to continue a learning curve of, production and get it sounding as good as I possibly can. I feel like I owe that to the people who have generously supported me and, or just like one song, I feel like I owe that to them, 

Yeah, that's really what's on my plans right now. And if, opportunities come up to play at another show or a festival or something, you know, I would, definitely, love to do that. I think it just, comes down to time and, you know, everything sounds like a good [00:14:00] idea. when you have 50, things, you gotta narrow it down a little bit.

So, Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's so many cool festivals and, new goth nights and club nights that I see popping up around the country that, are really starting to take off. So, you know, I've never been to the west coast. I, I went one time to LA for like two days, so I would love to go out there, and to Seattle as well.

but yeah, I think just, I know that the most important thing, you know, I agree with, What Mobius was saying. I listened to that podcast a little bit earlier today and I definitely agree with, him that, you know, the music is the most important thing. It has to be. 

Brian Prime: Mm-hmm. 

Tyler: So you gotta be honest with yourself. 

Brian Prime: Yeah, I agree. in a C where quality matters, it plays a huge part I'm happy with how that episode turned out. despite the fact that I was late to it, and, everybody involved was very sleep deprived.

I only notice in editing, my chihuahua sugar is just snoring so loud, like an old man in [00:15:00] the room, through the whole thing. Life happens. I do think that's a point that is, worth revisiting, especially in relevance to your case where, someone might look at your sort of.

fast rise. we'll use the word meteoric. a year feels maybe a little over a year or two. It feels appropriate for that. But, you know, I feel like it speaks for itself. I mean, this album is fantastic and, yeah, well deserved, I would say. But, thank you.

I really appreciate it. Mm-hmm. For sure. So aside from the circuit preacher, what does Tyler do? What's the rest of your life? look like? 

Tyler: Oh man. It's, I guess pretty boring. just going to the gym, going to work. I play disc golf, which, was also a covid problem because there was no.

sports. You couldn't go to the gym or anything. And so, I met some buddies that played disc golf and got into that. so that's a, a dumb slash fun fact. We have three orange [00:16:00] cats, so, the one of them we just found under our car, so he's new.

It's a Maura Sigma and junk rat, so we've almost got a full squad. Gotcha. And, Yeah, I mean, really just hanging out with, my wife going to shows. Gotcha. Those, five things. 

Brian Prime: Sure. 

Let me ask this question just to sort of turn the knob back a little bit to something you said earlier. You mentioned an upbringing, listening to r and b and metal and so on. what drew you to, to make the personal choice of like, I want to make electronic, industrially, whatever you wanna call it, kind of music.

Tyler: What drew me to make this specific genre. I mean I've definitely always liked video game soundtracks. you know, even early on we, most video games for some reason had just insane soundtracks like doom and a lot of driving games had like, you know, Rob Zombie or something on it. Yeah. And me and my brother would just.

go to the settings and change [00:17:00] it. So you can only listen to Draga Hot Rod Herman remix on repeat the entire time you play. And, why do this instead of metal? It's kind of like a logistics thing. And I wanted to see what I could do, like. Writing all of the parts.

Mm-hmm. But, you know, metal really requires at least three or four, I guess nowadays, five isn't uncommon, band members that are really serious mm-hmm. And practicing a lot. 'cause you know, like the bar is high in every genre nowadays. I mean, even the newer metal bands like, vended and Throne, You know, the, the quality, the, skill is just, it's to the moon. So, I mean, how do you find those people? How do you organize them? You know, somebody is always gonna drop off or Right, they get married or something, and then the band just [00:18:00] balls apart. So I'm like, I feel like this, it makes the most sense to write your own music and, this genre affords you.

That ability to, Kind of write it all yourself, I guess, and, bring in performers as needed, I guess it was just kind of like thinking long term. Like I don't want it to fall apart in nine months and it's just like a fun little stint with three of my buddies and, oh, that was fun.

We did a couple songs and we played a couple bars and. Good times. No, we got our t-shirts. I mean, no shade on that. it is fun. I just, didn't necessarily wanna do that. 

Brian Prime: the time I started this Sure. live setup still gonna just remain you for now.

will you add someone to sort of take over doing electronics while you do front man vocally kind of stuff, or just gonna continue? Oh yeah. 

Tyler: we've had, three people the past two shows. Emma plays, keyboard. Damien just joined us, he also plays in [00:19:00] dissector.

and invalid he plays guitar and other keyboard textures and things like that. it's definitely welcome because I admire the people that can put on a fantastic show by themselves. That's pretty challenging. you know, you've really got to. have, some sort of special charisma to really like 

You know, control a room with one person. It takes a lot. I mean, even most rappers I think have several hype men and a DJ I feel like those things are kind of a little bit similar, when it comes to EBM and stuff, but yeah, more people on stage is always good. It's just, like I said, logistics of.

Scheduling and that kind of stuff. 

Brian Prime: Yeah. More people makes, you know, adds other elements that can go awry and that kind of a thing. I do agree with you though, the having a certain amount of charisma or something about you that you can hold the attention and do everything yourself I just [00:20:00] sort of feel compelled to like, shout out a couple of like recent good examples.

aside from Jamie from ESA, which if you get a chance to see him mm-hmm. He is, such a beast and does commands a room in a way that I've not seen too many other people inside are kind of genre do. the other person I feel compelled to mention is, a. Fellow, North Carolina, resident, John from Seraphim system.

I caught him at mechanisms and I was so floored by his charisma and I mean, for a guy in a mask, he had everybody in the room having a good time and, yeah, great presence. And, yeah, a really good example of of being able to engage a crowd single handedly. So, 

Tyler: yeah.

I'm really excited to catch him. I think he's playing at, a goth festival in Wilmington, North Carolina. At the end of this month. And, he's playing, on the next day from us. So, yeah, I'm really excited to see him live 

Brian Prime: yeah, and [00:21:00] you know, super happy to hear that there's a goth fest in Wilmington of all places, like 

Tyler: I know.

it is pretty wild. I think it's the third one. but I guess it's more surprising to me that, Charlotte and Raleigh don't have more large things 'cause it is a huge population. But, hey, The subculture can't just instantly, pop up. I think it's gotta be like what you see in a lot of cities is like four, eight years in the making. And there's always, a couple people that have been diehard DJing for seven years straight and now, it starts appearing like it's, growing. I think people think it's a sudden thing, but a lot of times it's.

these local people putting in tons of years of work, 

Brian Prime: Yeah, for sure. just the added. caveat to that of people are just now making the time to be like, Hey, I wanna be involved in a local scene. I'm going to make a goth night for younger generations, or [00:22:00] I'm going to, try and create something cool for others, than just myself.

I feel like the scene has, at least since Covid, gained a lot of. People who are interested in it for the community aspect and for the community building aspect. And not everybody is doing that with the most benevolent of intentions, but that's gonna be true of, sort of any group of humans really.

Right. But, you know, hats off to anybody holding it down in the Bible Belt or in the south, or any place that's not hospitable to being an outsider, Right. It's a lot of work. Mm-hmm. Yeah, for sure. okay. I don't want to keep you too long.

we've been going for about 30 minutes now. so, before I put the last question in the podcast to you, one other thing that I was gonna ask you is that, what do you foresee, what would you like circuit preacher to accomplish? what would you like to see come from it and what do you think would satisfy you with [00:23:00] it?

Tyler: I feel like there's some ways that I've already accomplished what I. Wanted to do just with some of the people that I've talked with where, something that I wrote, really meant a lot to them. But that, is really nothing better than that. But, yeah, I'd say that would be my goal is just that happening even more.

But also, you know, people meeting each other at shows and maybe sharing similar stories, Friendships coming from that. So, if I can be a catalyst to, help someone feel seen or understood and meet other people in a similar place, you know, that would feel great. To me. I guess there's some artists that, I would love to collaborate with, but, my primary goal would be that, 

I try to make something as authentic as I can, and hopefully it resonates in a way that there are a handful of people that it's, the right [00:24:00] lyrics or song when they needed that at that time in their life. That would be, a win for me. 

Brian Prime: Good answer. Agreed. a win for you and for them as well?

for sure. alright, well I don't want to keep you too long. I will go ahead and put the last question to you, which is, just what is something that you have been enjoying recently and your answer can be anything, book, movie, TV show, just what's something that you've been jazzed about? 

Tyler: Oh man.

What have I been enjoying recently? Okay. I can 

Brian Prime: go first if you would like, 

Tyler: yeah, sure. 

Brian Prime: Okay. I am, this is the first interview I've done since I've, gotten back from Wasteland weekend, last weekend. And, what an experience that was. I had never thought that it was my first time ever going camping, and I never thought that camping in the middle of the Mojave Desert in the hottest wasteland weekend they've ever had, would be so much fun.

getting to. dress up and play bad backs in the desert with a bunch of other adults and, listen to music and, [00:25:00] have a good time and trade bottle caps and barter for this and do a quest and get robbed on the street. because I didn't have my gun in town and stuff like that, it was such a blast to just go have.

I'm gonna go play in the desert with some other adults. Yeah, it sounds really fun. 

Tyler: bands there too? 

Brian Prime: Yeah, so there were live bands, dead Animal Assembly Plant played one night, and I, I mix of genres, kind of played. There were DJs in like almost every single saloon.

I found, you know, there are goth DJs who were spinning industrially kind of stuff. And EDM kind of stuff. And it was just, and, and there's the thunderdome to watch and burlesque shows and there's literally so much to see and do that you will never do all of it. And it was every person that you pass in the street has this great costume and a name to go with it and a story for it, like, and their story is expressed through their costume and everyone is so interesting and.[00:26:00] 

Ah, I just, I can't say enough good things about it. It was really, my previous experience there were only, mostly only sort of music festivals, and this is a very different sort of a beast where yes, there's live music, but people are there for this. Other experience of I'm gonna be in costume and do quests and, you know, what a wild thing.

it was, I'm quite enamored with it. So yeah, that's the thing that I've been enjoying recently is just a riding high off, this, little magical confluence in the desert. you might be interested in this, as that seems sort of in your theme but those organizers for Wasteland Weekend do another festival called Necropolis, which just takes place in the same location It's a little bit smaller, but it's growing very fast. And it's more of an EDM sort of a focused one, but it's a cyberpunk themed event. So, you know, there are broadcasts and quests and, all kinds of things to go and do.

And, I think they have live music and DJs, but like, it's a [00:27:00] thing that a circuit preacher would fit into, I think. Okay. nightclub play at that. Did they? I, 

Tyler: I don't know. 

Brian Prime: I 

Tyler: think it was recently, 

Brian Prime: I've only just now decided that, something in the desert is a thing I'd want to go to, so, but, one of 

Tyler: Mm-hmm. And, the pictures, he shows that looks amazing, the little markets and. I mean, it looks like a video game. It's pretty cool. 

Brian Prime: Yeah. it's pretty wild to just like be taking a random picture of yourself and it looks like you're on a movie set and you're, you know, it was such a good time.

so what is, what's something that you've been enjoying recently? 

Tyler: So things I've been enjoying recently, reading I've been, Interested in like early, Christianity, like different denominations and the divisions they had in the first century.

Like a lot of people see the divisions now and the differences. And, so I've been, enjoying the different, variations of myths and stuff that Different denominations believed then, [00:28:00] music wise, I've really enjoyed, Matt Black's new album. That was amazing. 

Brian Prime: Mm-hmm. 

Tyler: also, gen Cab's new album is very good.

Yeah. other than that, I'm bad with, new music. I just, regress back to the same five albums all the time. If I'm going to the gym, I pretty much have to listen to Seven Dust at least once a week. I just can't stop. Or kill, switch, engage or something.

the other thing we've been, sucked into recently is War Hammer, Painting minis. So we went to a mini painting class. as soon as I saw the different. Armies and crap. I was like, oh no. Oh no. 

Brian Prime: Yeah, 

Tyler: this isn't, this is not gonna be good. There's a tank that looks like a stained glass church.

Uhhuh. I'm like already justifying why I need to buy it. 

Brian Prime: I know I had friends years ago who were like, ah, do you wanna like get into 40 K tabletop? And I'm like, I [00:29:00] looked at their army and I was like, fucking, no, I do not. 

Tyler: every single part of it. 

Brian Prime: I've got an expensive hobby already.

some of it you can go on eBay and people will sell like their. Professional painters will sell their painted armies for insane amounts, and they're amazing like pieces of actual fucking art, 

Tyler: so maybe that'll be, hopefully that'll be me next time we talk.

I'll be a semi-professional war hammer painter. 

Brian Prime: I've got a lot. I know so many people who are into 40 K that I'm like, I've been tempted to do a 40 k episode, of just like get some nerds together to talk about nerd shit. oh God. 

Tyler: a lot. 

Brian Prime: Yeah, there's so much. if you have not seen it, there's a, animated film on, YouTube. It's like the first episode, but it's a, officially licensed war hammer. Short, I'm gonna find the name really quick while I'm thinking about it, but it's like Angels of Death or something like that. Blood Ravens, blood Angels. it was a thing that was made for like [00:30:00] their Warhammer plus, subscription, based servicey kind of thing, it's just a short, CGI animated thing with incredible voice acting and to be like a 20, 25 minute episode. it was amazing.

really good. I think I found it. Warhammer Angels of Death episode one is that it? yes, I think so. I believe it is called Angels of Death. California, I'll send you a link to it, I'd recommend it for anybody who's into 40 K stuff, even if you're not into it, like 40 K in general.

This is just like a cool little animated film to watch that's very within the aesthetic of. The industrially, gothy, dark electronic e genre stuff. Right. our kind of goons would like it. you know what I mean? 

Tyler: gotta be honest with yourself at some point. 

Brian Prime: it. Yeah.

Like, you know, just fucking enjoy it. Just eat it, you know, it's fine. cool man. Well, thank you so much for. coming and having a [00:31:00] chat, was a pleasure to, to get a chance to talk to you. I've been loving the album. it's fantastic. And, I will be at Dark Force West and, I look forward to catching your set and saying hello and, yeah.
