S02 / EP2: Ken Olden - Part 1 (Battery, Damnation AD)

Ken Olden - The drummer and guitarist of Better Than A Thousand remembers his past so detailed that we decided to split the interview with him into two parts. He was an active part of the 90s Hardcore scene with his bands Worlds Collide and Battery, manufactured the blueprint for Metalcore with Damnation AD, and went through the rather harsh hardcore scene in Washington D.C. at the end of the 80s. In the first part of the interview, Ken reminicents how he met his Better Than A Thousand bandmates Ray and Graham in the middle of all of that. Find out how a spontaneous project quickly turned into something way bigger - and why he thought that Hardcore could never get better than at this perticular one night, when Better Than A Thousand performed live for the first time.
