Virginia Creeper: a climbing plant with leaves made up of five leaflets and bluish black berries.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5

TJ – How’s it going?

VC – All is well, we are in the studio writing and recording the follow up to 'WHO'S YOUR GOD' , entitled: 'THE UNVEILING' due to be released later this year.

TJ - Very cool! So, tell us about the new album.

VC - THE UNVEILING, originally planned to be released as a 4 or 5 song EP, will now be released later this year as a full length disc.
The CD will include: THE DEVIL INSIDE, RESURRECT THE MESSENGERS, WHY (DO I), THE SECOND DEATH (soon to be on the V.C. MySpace page), and six more tracks. THE UNVEILING will be available at WWW.CDBABY.COM and the Official V.C. website WWW.VIRGINIACREEPER.NET , more information will be posted on the VIRGINIA CREEPER MySpace page.

TJ – I cannot wait! How would you describe the music style of Virginia Creeper?

VC – PROPHETIC INDUSTRIAL METAL

TJ - Who are your musical influences?

VC - UDO (ACCEPT) / ALICE COOPER / MARILYN MANSON / BARREN CROSS / WASP.....more on the V.C. MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/virginiacreepermusic

TJ – What reactions do you get from Christians and non-Christians about your image?

VC – Mostly negative from so called Christians (who don't really know The Lord Jesus Christ). They say V.C. looks like the devil, but what amazes me is that the devil controls most of there lives, yet they still don't know what he looks like, I pray for them.......as for non-Christians, in given time they too will believe.

TJ – Do you guys tour?

VC - VIRGINIA CREEPER is in the studio at this time recording the follow up to 'WHO'S YOUR GOD' due to be released later this year, entitled: 'THE UNVEILING'...more info will be posted on the Official V.C. MySpace page.

TJ – I have been listening to and been involved with Christian rock/metal since the 80’s; I hosted a Christian metal show on our local Christian radio station in the mid 80’s, been to numerous concerts, and read books for and against Christian rock. I always found most of the negativity towards Christian rock to be falsely supported. So what I like to do in my interviews is ask for a testimony of how your ministry as a band changed someone and/or lead them to Christ.

VC – VIRGINIA CREEPER is sent out into this world to plant the seeds, by the will of GOD the seeds will take and be ready for the coming harvest........As for the testimony of VIRGINIA CREEPER you will have to wait for the next song to be posted on The Official VIRGINIA CREEPER MySpace page, which will be entitled: 'MY TESTIMONY'.

TJ – Lookin’ forward to it. So how long have you been a band?

VC – I starting writing with guitarist Kirk Roth in the summer of 2000, the current line up has been together since 2002.

TJ – Do you get support from your church?

VC - VIRGINIA CREEPER preaches the Truth , a message of divine punishment for those who do not come to the Lord Jesus Christ, which is not heard in the  local congregations.

TJ – You remade Motley Crue’s song “Shout at the Devil” which is a very popular song on our station, what has been the reaction to it and what song will you remake next?

VC – The response to 'Shout at the devil' has been overwhelming, both positive and negative.  The new release 'THE UNVEILING' will include a remake of 'The devil inside' originally recorded by: INXS

TJ – What do you do for fun outside of your ministry?

VC – Write music, lyrics  / Study the Word of GOD, and the history of the true church...not the the doctrine of devils as preached by the Vatican.

TJ – What denomination do you belong to?

VC – These denominations, that you speak of are nothing more than people being deceived. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

TJ – Where, if anywhere in the world, would you want to perform?

VC -  The Vatican..........and the true gospel shall be preached to all the world, then the end will come.

TJ – What band would you like to tour with if any?

VC – No comment.

TJ – How long have you been a Christian and how did you come to know Christ?

VC – VIRGINIA CREEPER began to seek the Lord in 1982, due to a death of a family member.

TJ – How would you describe the state of America?

VC – We are in the last days.....the decline of America.

TJ – How about the state of the Church?

VC - In need of Reformation.  As Christ warned, in the last days believers will fall to  doctrines of devils. The true believers are accepting the catholic church as part of the body of Christ, which is nothing more than a pagan mockery of the gospel.....Many will come in My name......Let no man deceive you.

TJ – Well, I have to say that of all of the people that I have interviewed, you are one of the most outspoken about your faith and where you stand. I really appreciate that, and I am not insinuating that others weren’t passionate about their faith; just you are the most vocal. So, do you think that people will take a rockin’ preacher serious?

VC – In these last days people are hungry for the Truth, the world has been spiritually deceived about the Gospel of Christ since the rise of the roman catholic institution.......And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

TJ – What can your fans do to further your ministry and get the message out their?

VC - Go to WWW.CDBABY.COM and buy 'WHO'S YOUR GOD' and PLAY IT EVERYWHERE, and tell EVERYONE to go to the Official VIRGINIA CREEPER MySpace page  http://www.myspace.com/virginiacreepermusic

TJ – Well VC, it’s been a pleasure my friend and I look so forward to the new CD. Are there any parting words for your fans?

VC – The Official V.C. Website will be up and running by the end of 6/08 and will feature a LIMITED EDITION CD only available at: www.virginiacreeper.net (more info will be posted on the V.C. MySpace page)

TJ – Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us.

VC - GOD BE WITH YOU.
