Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Carson D. Bell. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Carson D., thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
The Mission of Carson D. Bell & The Endtimes is actually a question I get asked about alot. EmaciatedLemur33 on Reddit just sent me a DM the other day about this. I had to explain to them that while outwardly, we appear to be a band of musicians performing derivative interpretations of mall screamo from the early to mid-Aughts, what a lot of people miss at our shows is something I explain outright at times in our set. Its the reason I moved to Nashville in 2021. and it’s very simple. I want to know why Anthony Quinn Warner detonated a recreational vehicle bomb in downtown Nashville on December 25, 2020. That’s all. I just wanna know why. I wanna know why the buildings that were damaged appear to have greater damage at the top than at the bottom where the RV exploded and why the building which is in one of the busiest commercial areas of a city that has grown an insane amount to the point where the roads can’t even support the amount of cars that need to use them, is still untouched behind a barbed wire fence with cameras up, and why there is no damage to the curb where the RV was parked, and why traffic cameras at that exact time pointed towards Broadway from I40 show a trail down from the sky onto the building, and what exactly he was trying to accomplish, and also whats up with the audio from his RV when you reverse it? I swear to GOD I’m not a Qanon guy or whatever, It’s just really weird is all I’m saying. And everyone just forgot about it? And like doesn’t acknowledge the site even though its right by Broadway? It’s creepy right?
Carson D., before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Carson D. Bell & the Endtimes is the name of my band. We make songs that sound like Incubus having an orgy with The Locust that’s being supervised by DJ Drama. Just trying to make my favorite music because everybody is derivative of the WRONG stuff right now, whereas we are derivative of the RIGHT stuff which is all that really matters to me.
If I ever get a TikTok (even Ironically), I hope someone finds me in the street like Jack Ruby did to Lee Harvey Oswald and just takes me out.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Finish and release our LP and then ride off into the sunset. I hope no one listens to it and anyone who does thinks it’s awful. Also trying to defeat Satan in pitched combat. 666 stuff in heavy music is for boomers. It’s played out and lame. Carson D. Bell & the Endtimes goal is to get signed to Tooth & Nail records so I can finally come full circle and lead a mosh 4 Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
The place where it all starts is the Author Dave McGowan. PLEASEPLEASE PLEASE if you take one thing away fromthis interview, just read one McGowan book. Probably ‘Programmed to Kill’. If you already have then everything I’m saying will be completely meaningless. It explains why.
