We met the Periphery/Haunted Shores guitarist before their first show of this years' Europe tour. Mark talks signature guitars and pickups, his approach to write new riffs and why you don't need a 7-string for Djent. Thanks to the Irish Pub in Wiesbaden for letting us shoot the video on your stage!
