Element a440 does what it wants, with no apologies. And that means making music that provokes and moves. The Phoenix-based band takes a hook-heavy, electronic-infused approach to industrial metal that incorporates edgy lyrics and theatrical stage shows. They’ve been attracting attention too. In 2013 the independent rock music network Project Independent named them as a featured artist and chose them as their headlining act for a U.S. tour. And two years ago, the group won the “Best Live Performance by an Unsigned Band” award at the National Association of Independent Rock Music Awards (NAIRMA).

FGPO’s Jon Liebman had a chance to speak with Element a440’s frontman-guitarist Halo and guitar and second bass player Solus during this year’s Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California. Their conversation delved into inspirations, motivations, gear, family and other topics.
