MARDUK – Interview with guitarist Morgan Hĺkansson
Few groups in the realm of black metal have made such an impact as MARDUK. Along with DISSECTION and DARK FUNERAL, MARDUK is an essential piece to the history of Swedish black metal. Beginning with the bluntly offensive demo Fuck Me Jesus in the early nineties, MARDUK has constantly pushed the boundaries of speed and offensive statementsboth lyrically and through merchandise (see Fuck Me Jesus t-shirts).
For nearly two decades, MARDUK has stayed consistent with their musickeeping the same feeling of unclean barbaritybut always expanding the MARDUK sound. Part of this expansion obviously comes with the influence of new musicians. Although MARDUK has always been the satanic spawn of one Morgan “Evil” Steinmeyer Hĺkansson, the man who kept churning the wheels of hell that animate MARDUK, the group has gone through multiple lineup changes. This entrance of new blood and Hĺkansson's never-ending dark imagination has kept MARDUKs music fresh and invigorating.
Wormwood, the bands newest studio offering, is the third recording in the era of vocalist Mortuus. This album shows the band continuing the morbid lyrical stance that began with the La Grande Danse Macabre album, which found release near the end of Legions time with MARDUK. Wormwood also shows the band focus their efforts experimentally, which in turn encapsulate this macabre subject matter.
MARDUKs current lineup includes Morgan Hĺkansson on guitar, Mortuus handling vocals, Devo Andersson playing bass and Lars Broddesson on drums. Morgan Hĺkansson took this lineup on the road for MARDUKs first U.S. headlining tour, third overall. While stopping off for a show in Austin, Texas Metal Centre spoke with Hĺkansson about this tour, album and the current personnel.

EGOIST – Wywiad ze Stanem
EGOIST jest niezwykłym projektem… łączy w sobie miażdżącą siłę, agresję, chwilami psychotyczność z psychodeliczno-melancholijnym klimatem… a wszystko jest scalone ogromną ilością progresywnego kleju, którego odurzające opary przenoszą słuchacza w podróż do głębi ludzkiego umysłu, gdzie kłębią się setki emocji i doznań… Twórcą projektu EGOIST jest nietuzinkowy artysta – Stan, który pomimo młodego wieku posiada ogromne doświadczenie muzyczne, o czym poniżej…
THE RED CHORD – Interview with Vocalist Guy Kozowyk
Guy Kozowyk of Massachusettss THE RED CHORD is a man of few words. Considering the following interview arrived via email, Kozowyk couldn't use strained vocal cords as an excuse for the brevity of his answers. Perhaps, Guy prefers our readers to experience the music of THE RED CHORD, rather than read about it. His group brings a whirlwind of energy, technically moving between many of the styles that have defined the extreme metal movement over the past decade. Kowzowyk prefers not to categorize the music that has made them the new face of Metal Blade, but if DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, CEPHALIC CARANAGE and LAMB OF GOD got into rumble, readers may get a slight idea about their sound. Read onward and go check these guys out on tour with their slave-driver label mates, GWAR! [icenter:the_red_chord_logo.JPG]
NAMMOTH – Wywiad z Rafałem i Bartkiem
NAMMOTH to nowa kapela na polskim death metalowym “rynku”. Polska scena rośnie ponownie w siłę i nawet tutaj w Stanach słyszę dużo dobrych opinii na temat i polskiego metalu oraz również samego NAMMOTH, których przedstawiłem tutejszym kolegom. Skromni ale za to i brutalni młodzieńcy z Ełku pokazują nam, że nie wolno się poddawać oraz to, że jeszcze można być oryginalnym nawet kiedy większość ludzi powiada, iż wszystko już zostało zagrane i pokazane. Jak sobie radzi NAMMOTH w tych czasach opowiedzą wam Rafał i Bartek…
