Interviews: Provenance

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Metalcore band Provenance from the USA. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name? Did you plan it, or did it come out just like that?

Our guitarist came up with the band name, “Provenance” means the origin of something, and since we all started this music journey together when we were teenagers, it felt fitting!

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

We love the energy and intensity of this genre and have been fans of it since we were young.

Yes, we were all in a band together back in 2012
