ANGELREICH – Wywiad z Mattem i Valdem
Cóż, metalcore w Polsce ma się dobrze, albo powiem inaczej. Ma się wreszcie coraz lepiej. Drown my day, Faust Again, Frontside i wreszcie Angelreich właśnie to tylko kilka z nazw które od dłuższego bądź krótszego czasu wyzwalają mega pozytywną energię, nie tylko w głośnikach. Czas dogonić zachód, a może nawet i wyjść mu na przeciw? Co do powiedzenia mieli Waldek i Mateusz przeczytać możecie poniżej.
FALLEN GRACE – Interview with Sohan.
Fallen Grace are known as the initiators of Melodic Death Metal in Sri Lanka. They are famous for their unique sound they put forward as a band within the genre. They are mostly known as a unit who brought forth a whole new meaning to the saying “As tight as a nuns cunt!” and for their ability to conjure the most violent mosh pits where ever they unleash their sound. Despite his busy work schedule, front-man Sohan Ratnaike took some time off to elaborate further.
IN TWILIGHT’S EMBRACE – Wywiad z Cychem
Cóż, rodzima scena metalcore wciąż rośnie w siłę, jedni istnieją na niej dłużej, inni trochę krócej. Cych jest członkiem IN TWILIGHT'S EMBRACE od samych jego początków, zatem dobrze wybrałem aby to właśnie jego wypytać o kilka mniej lub bardziej interesujących mnie rzeczy. Poniżej jak zawsze przeczytać możecie krótki wywiadzik.
TIDES FROM NEBULA – Wywiad z Maćkiem
Młode zespoły często mają pod górkę. I te które raczej nie mają nic do pokazania, jak i te, które są nader ambitne. TIDES FROM NEBULA zalicza się do tych drugich, ale czy tak na prawdę mają pod górkę? Kto wie. Jak dotychczas wszystko idzie w jak najlepszym kierunku i jedyne co może im przeszkodzić to ortodoksyjność naszego własnego kraju. Na kilka moich pytań odpowiedział Maciek gitarzysta Warszawskiej formacji.
DIMENSION ZERO – Interview with Vocalist Jocke Göthberg
DIMENZION ZERO formed when the scene in Gothenburg, Sweden was still quite underground. Back in 1995-96, classic Gothenburg groups such as AT THE GATES and DISSECTION were first being thrust onto the global metal scene. America was clueless about this thrashing, melodic death metal style. The bands formerly or currently associated with DIMENSION ZEROMARDUK, SOILWORK, DARK TRANQUILITY and IN FLAMES had not even ventured into America yet. Now the above bands, especially SOILWORK and IN FLAMES are major heavy metal stars. Even though DIMENSION ZERO is an integral group to the classic Gothenburg scene, the group has never received the name recognition of the full time gigs.
DIMENSION ZERO From the beginning, as vocalist Jocke Göthberg later explains, was created for these members to do something different and more aggressive than their main bands. The greater emphasis on aggression and a large portion of their time relegated with their main bands may explain DIMENSION ZERO lacking the name recognition that their main groups enjoy. DIMENSION ZERO does not create the atmosphere and melodies of DARK TRANQUILITY or have the commercial sensibilities of SOILWORK and IN FLAMES. DIMENSION ZERO is about classic Gothenburg riffs and pounding drums that never seem to quit. Melodies do play a part in their music, although guitarists Jesper Strömblad and Daniel Antonsson mostly incorporate them as lead harmonies.
The latest recording by these Swedes, He Who Shall Not Bleed, retains the intense head banging qualities from their WAR Records debut EP Penetrations From the Lost World, but reveals a band that has definitely matured as musicians. Canadian thrash guitar shredder, Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR) added a couple of amazingly fast solos, which was all processed at In Flames studio. Jocke Göthberg called Metal Centre.com from his home in Sweden to speak about this new album, where the band came from, and where it is heading.
DOL AMMAD / DOL THEETA – Wywiad z Thanasis Lightbridge
Thanasis Lightbridge jest bardzo uzdolnionym kompozytorem, który z pomocą przyjaciół stworzył naprawdę wielkie dzieło… To ryzykowne połączenie potężnych żywiołów, które zamknął w dwóch projektach DOL AMMAD i DOL THEETA. Jest to pakt zawarty pomiędzy Muzyką Metalową a Operą, Muzyką Elektroniczną i Muzyką New Age.
DOL AMMAD / DOL THEETA – Interview with Thanasis Lightbridge
Thanasis Lightbridge is very talented composer. He with friends' help created great work… This is risky connection of powerful elements closed in two projects DOL AMMAD and DOL THEETA. This is a pact among Metal Music and Opera, Electronic Music and music New Age.
THEOCRACY – Interview with Matt
American progressive power/thrash metal band THEOCRACY have just released their new effort – ''Mirror of Souls''. This was a perfect moment to make an interview with the leader of the band Matt. Honestly I have never known that they are from Athens in Georgia (United States), before the interview I thought that they are from Athens in Greece. Small mistake…
SONNEILLON – Wywiad z Valsimot
„…określamy naszą muzykę jako „ekstremalna muzyka metalowa z wpływami muzyki symfonicznej” gdyż chcemy odciąć się od ideologii satanistycznej, „uwielbienia czerni”, corpse-painting-u i tego typu rzeczy…”
MIDNATTSOL – Interview with Birgit Öllbrunner
MIDNATTSOL… if you do not know them you should feel some embarrassment right now. They are a young band, but doing fantastic, not only on the German scene. Their official career started in 2005, when they released the first full-length material titled “Where Twilight Dwells”. A debut material containing a lot of melody and spellbinding ideas. In this year's March their second album, “Nordlys” went off and it is crushing everything on its way. I had the opportunity to speak with Birgit Öllbrunner, the band's bassist. I've learned a lot of interesting stuff… for example, why she should become a man…
