What inspired the name of the band? What are your influences and are they the same as when you started out?
My life as a professional paranormal investigator is what gave us the name. Otherworldly Entity brings to mind so much for so many people. Aliens? Ghosts? Cryptids? Interdimensional beings? All of those, yes. That’s where our name comes from. Outside of this world. We’re influenced by a lot of the numetal bands like Cold, System of a Down, Deftones, Korn, we like to write dark but genuinely emotional music.
How do you approach songwriting?
We don’t have a set method to writing our music. We try to keep it organic and natural. We want to bring to light real humanity, real emotion, genuine connection. A big theme for all of us in the band is unity.

Why do you write the sort of music that you do?
I saw a movie as a teenager that changed my life forever. It inspired the rest of my life. Queen of the Dammed. The Anne Rice classic vampire movie with a soundtrack written by Jonathan Davis from Korn. That movie made me want to be a rock star, bigger than life. Music is the definition of immortality. It survives past all of us.
How do you decide what songs to perform live?
We “design” every set for the show that we’re playing. It means that every show is different. We look at the other bands we’re playing with, the social and cultural environment, the city we’re in, and we create our set to fit the setting. We program light shows for each set, and really try to bring the whole show to life. We really try to blend the visuals with the music, and work it all in to a complete show. Our music is written so organically that it works well live, so it means we can emphasize the show as a whole.

What plans do you have for the future?
We’re working on a new EP right now which we expect to come out in the fall of this year, but in the meantime we’re really trying to push our live shows.
