Warped Tour 2010 interviews: June 25, 2010

Mitch Luker: Hello, everybody at Warped Tour! I'm Mitch Luker, frontman for Suicide Silence. I am here today to interview former Ryuga bassist Ryan Treviont. So how's it going, Ryan?

RT: Pretty good, so far. I could've been worse!

ML: I heard what happened during a tour in Moscow May 30th. Wanna tell me somethin' about that?

RT: Not really... Still getting nightmares over it.

ML: Your father is highly abusive, isn't he? Does he lose his mind?

RT: F**k yeah! Six years ago after I graduated from high school, I came home and saw my dad being a giant a**hole!! He was threatening to kill his two sons and he was sexually abusing my mom.

ML: Huh... What a bad sight to see.

RT: Uh-huh. He was doing all sorts of stuff I frigging hate: like rape, teabag, vital threats, and even homicide. I used to love him, but he's a helluva heavy drinker and a smoker.

ML: So do you have any plans for the future?

RT: I'm doing a new side project sometime in the near future. I'm doing this to stay far away from my deranged father, who's currently in prison for the next seven years and seven months after his assault on me last month.

ML: Well, what else? Other than what the future holds for you, what other things are you on? What about your departure from Ryuga?

RT: Aw, s**t! Three days later after the incident, when my bandmates were asleep, I was waking up and leaving a note in my room saying I needed to quit the band. I did just that, but only for the sake of Ryuga, and my own safety. I was making a big mistake quitting, but I realized early this morning that it was time for me to move on.

ML: What a powerful risk you took! I'm proud of you...

RT: (laughs) Yeah!!!

ML: I've heard word that your former band is releasing their first extended play on July 6th, am I right?

RT: Yep.

ML: It's called Solifugid. Suprising to see that the band recruited three new members to replace you and two other members who departured on the same, exact day.

RT: They had different issues, unlike mine. Unfortunately, I had no idea why they left.

ML: Well anyway, thanks for letting me interview you, dude. Have a safe weekend! And remember to think about your future.

RT: I will not forget.
