WATERSHED – Interview with Artur

Fate is a strange thing. An experience that, among others, two members of the Swedish band Watershed have been subject to. They are namely Polish by origin. Furthermore you can read about the band, their inspirations, Solidarity (a Polish anti-communist workers union) and the Swedish underground. The vocalist Artur is being interviewed.

ZED YAGO / VELVET VIPER – Interview with Jutta Weinhold

Actually it doesn't matter if you are fan of Epic, Dark, Romantic or Heavy Metal. It also doesn't matter, if you are fan of female fronted Traditional Heavy Metal, or not. Why? Because I'm sure, that if you are just a bit deeper into Metal of the 80's, you know this premier German act known as ZED YAGO. Spv Records has just released double CD compilataion titled “Zed Yago From The Twilight Zone”, so I decided to ask ask few questions to owner of one of the mightiest female Metal voices ever. Ladies and gentlemen: Jutta Weinhold!

DARKANE – Interview with Klas Ideberg (guitarist) at The Tivoli, Helsingborg, Sweden.

I had a nice chat with an old acquaintance of mine the other day (well… night) and he happens to be Klas Ideberg, one of the riff-machines in the well-known Swedish band DARKANE. The guys have been around since the beginning of '98 when the band arose from the ashes of AGRETATOR – another great metal band from Helsingborg. It seems that Helsingborg, that also happens to be my hometown, is one of Sweden's leading metal cities.

FUTURISTIC THRASH-METAL AND THE 6TH SENSE

45 minutes left to the gig. DARKANE will perform 22:30 and it's a little hectic. I catch up with Klas backstage and he greets me wearing a black KILL SWITCH ENGAGE t-shirt and his characteristic smile. Klas says that it'll be a good idea to go to another room, namely ”Vinylbaren” – a cozy bar in the same complex. He is very calm and relaxed and the interview starts off right away. Klas puts in a ”snus” (tobacco) under his lip in a true Swedish fashion and sips on his beer. ”Expanding Senses” is DARKANE's 3rd album, released not that long ago, and we talk a little about the whole concept behind it.

DEMIMONDE – Interview with Daven

This is the strange band! It metal and also is antimetal!? Existing and simultaneously sunk in nonentity!?? Their music came into being thanks of love and hatreds to music (of different sorts of music). Also and they united to express one's own feelings and excitements by music… but they have irrational rules of existence of team, properly it is strange, that they understand, every from they is leader of band, every composes this what him like pleases and nobody this does not oppose!?…. But whether one can connect chaos with order? Yes! You read after-mentioned interview, you will settle record of DEMIMONDE and all will be bright!!!

CHARNEL HOUSE – Interview with John

You like to read interviews with bands which went thru a lot? If so now is your chance to meet veterans of the New York scene, maybe they didn't accomplish greater success, but they're still playing without looking behinfd them. Maybe they won't find a lot of listeners these days but they know how to promote themselves…And who knows, maybe they'll get their big break ???

TZEFA – Interview with Tzefa

New York's Tzefa is one of the most original metal bands you will ever hear. They combine heavy metal with killer riffs with the classically trained female vocals of Slava, who also plays violin. Tzefa's members and friends have been dedicated supporters of Transcending the Mundane, so when I finally got a chance to see them opening for Moonspell and Lacuna Coil at L'Amours I was shockeed at how good this unknown band was. They are currently finishing recording a four song e.p. that should be out around the same time as this issue. Here is the band to answer some questions.

TYPHOID – Interview with Typhoid

Power scene of both Slovakia and Czech, you surely know not from today. However, it surprises us all the time with new things. Appearing every now and then of new names of teams. Together with young bands, comes specific freshness of realization, every now and again better technics, supported with very good ideas. One's own talents, musical use advantageously for scenes, for oneself, and I hope, that soon and for you. I invite so on collation of truth, with your divisibility of attention.

INNER FEAR – Interview with Paraghus

Czech scene determines serious competition for our native scenes!!! Anyway almost every from you knows some concrete bands from behind south border (also I think about Slovakia). But I think, that not at all goes here for rivalry, but for world-wide interest with country under place of metal – music. Both our south neighbours how and we can to be proud with musical pearls, which without substance would be now to mention, because time to assemble on following representative Czech scenes – INNER FEAR – of band, which goes with usual track by e.g. CRADLE OF FILTH or DIMMU BIRGIR… what some from you can to estrange. But I assure you, that first it is proper to get to know with their music, and after that to advance conclusions…

SOLEKAHN – Interview with Amim

Always I thought, that most of French bands possesses the soul and in this instance I was not disappointed. But musical style which one Frenchmen propose us on this to record is not rich in sounds, whether in so-called musical ornaments, then in spite of this by their music speaks something deeper, something primitive, something what long ago fell asleep and now slowly regenerates – this Spirit of old death metal – of music, which almost of twenty years ago moved minds of most of population of metalmaniax on world, which ones wished of something more, greater douses of excitement – of aggression, madness, blasphemes and first of all Evils. So SOLEKAHN is following incarnation of that Spirit of old death metal, so let us not lose time, only to works!!!
