I met Paul last year at a very small (and awesome) Joe Coffee show in Wheeling, WV. I could easily go on for pages about how excited I was a few months ago when he graciously offered to do this. To say that Sheer Terror is my favorite band is possibly the understatement of the century. Burning Time is named after a Sheer Terror song, as are most other things in my life that I have to name. But this isn't an essay about what a nerd I am, it's an interview with Paul Bearer, and it's hard for me to act unexcited introducing it. When Sheer Terror was announced for this year's This Is Hardcore Fest, it seemed fitting to conduct the interview right after the weekend's festivities had concluded. Paul and I sat down after TIH 2010 came to a close and discussed lots of different things. Paul certainly had nothing to hide. [Editor's Note: In this instance, the phrase is meant literally, as he was in only his underwear for the interview. Such an eccentric visionary he is.] Enjoy.
