Benjamin Guerry
The Great Old Ones

Lovecraft, their latest album, "Kadath," and what lies in future for The Great Old Ones.
Susane Hécate
MIASTHENIA
Since years in the past, the capital of Brazil revealed names that practice unusual (and excellent) ways into Metal genres. And the veteran MIASTHENIA is always one relevant name since the days they came with “XVI”, telling histories and old tales about Pre-Colombian civilizations of America. And with “Espíritos Rupestres”, the band gives another step ahead, using a central concept for the lyrics, and showing a new lineup. Then, we had the opportunity to talk with the band to known about the past, the present and future ambitions.
Felipe Borges
Tellus Terror
The city of Niterói (RJ, Brazil) is widely known for being a nice place to live, having Universidade Federal do RJ (UFF) doing a pivotal part on its economy (along the commercial appeal as well), and for its nice beaches (forget Copacabana and Ipanema, because Camboinhas is far better). But it gave to the country (and the world) Metal acts as TAURUS, UNLIVER, and others. TELLUS TERROR is from the city and was about to be a great name on Brazilian scene when they released “EZ Life DV8” on 2014, and opened shows of BEHEMOTH and BELPHEGOR, but strangely, the band became silent. Now, 10 years after it, the sextet is back with “DEATHinitive Love AtmosFEAR”, and such thing caused many questions, and that are done and answered here.

Gavin Kerr
Kissing Lilith
The breaking point for me was when her sister was “kidnapped by drug dealers” and while she was also trying to convince me that “the house of blues manager” wanted to talk to me about a music project I had just announced. I realized that it was all one lie after another and I didn't want to be with someone who was only going to hold me back and add extreme unnecessary stress to my life.
Alf Cantalice, J.P. Cordeiro, and Marconi Jr.
HEADSPAWN
The Northeast region of Brazil is known for its cultural richness, for its lovely and humble people, its beautiful beaches, and mainly for some sad facts (many still thinks about misery and droughts on the region, as it isn’t found on other places on the country). And such good things enable the arising of many excellent Metal acts, being one of them the trio HEADSPAWN, from the city of João Pessoa (PA). Besides some define their music as Groove Metal, on “Parasites” (their first album) one can check a rich musical work. And as we had the opportunity to talk with the band about their ideas, plans and ambitions, here is the result of such great talk.
M. Punk, André Gubber
SIEGRID INGRID
After more than 20 years of absence, SIEGRID INGRID, a quintet that mixes hardcore, Thrash Metal, Punk Rock, Death Metal and Grindcore, is back for one more round. As a living legend of the Metal scene of São Paulo, “Back From Hell”, their third and latest full-length shows the same furious and caustic form of music that earned the quintet its fame. And we had the opportunity to talk with them.
Thiago Ribeiro
HATEMATTER
The mix of Modern Metal, Melodic Death Metal and aspects of Heavy metal done by the Brazilian sextet HATEMATTER found its peak at “Antithesis”, their latest album was released back in 2023. And it marks a turn in the career of Brazilian sextet HATEMATTER due two facts: the sad loss of one of their founders, the guitarist (and friend) Gustavo Polidori, and the overcoming of all troubles and pain that became the inspiration for their songs. Now, we had the opportunity to have a talk with them, and to know about the band’s past, their present and their plans for the future.
Frank Gasparotto
Sacrifix
Born as project of Frank Gasparotto (known for his playing on bands as ANTHARES, GOATLOVE, KAMBOJA, MASMORRA, SPIRITUAL HATE and others), the quartet SACRIFIX from São Paulo has gathered a strong legion of fans with their Old School Thrash Metal ways. And after the release of “Killing Machine”, the band’s latest album, the name became widely known in Brazil and even outside the country. And we had the opportunity to talk with Frank about the past, present and future of the band.

writer
Thomas Kumke

Madeleine Liljestam
and guitarist
Rikard Ekberg
about touring in
US
and the new album.
Big Chris Flores
Lynch Mob
LYNCH MOB
is one of the many projects
George Lynch
has worked on over his four decades of performing. Each different band has a different feel. His solo material is more artsy and ethereal, while still being Hard Rock, his work with
KMX
tends to have a bit more Progressive and Nu Metal in there thanks to
dUg Pinnick and Ray Luzier
. Here, you get old-fashioned Hard Rock with a flair for melodic passages and some bluesy riffing as well. And as always, you will have the inimitable
George Lynch
signature guitar sound to caress your ears and drop your jaw.
Emma Elvaston
Attractive Chaos
ATTRACTIVE CHAOS

France

Emma Elvaston
about the band, the debut EP, and the tour.
Russ Tippins & Cindy Maynard
Tanith
Oceans of articles can be written how the fantasy related material changed Rock and Metal music, but in every album, these mystical aspects come to life differently. Coming about after a great debut album, in the spirit of vintage Rock and Metal streams, Tanith, led by Satan's Russ Tippins and Cindy Maynard, is ongoing a "Voyage" as their second album. Steinmetal had a great talk with the two about the entire experience the led to the album and beyond
Erich Eysn
Wardress
Carving even the smallest of legacies is no less of a personal matter, and when it is revamp it starts on a small scale only to become much more later on. Wardress, another member of the old guard of Heavy Metal, has been making their way in the modern age of Metal after so many years. Without caring about what is happening all around them musically, they charge with an old school prowess. Recently releasing "Metal 'Til The End", a new era has begun. Steinmetal had a good talk with the band's Erich Eysn.
Johnny Kelly

Sami Kääriäinen
Heezer
HEEZER
is a Stoner Rock/Metal band out of Finland. In March 2023 they dropped their debut full-length album, "
Sungrinder
," on
Argonauta Records
. As the name would suggest, it's a scorcher, hitting a 10/10 on the
Metal Temple
altar of reviews.
Gary Hernandez
, writer and editor for
Metal Temple
, recently caught up with
Sami
to chat about the band, their origins, what they are working on next, and what the best beer in Finland really is.
Uzzy Unchained
Megaton Sword
Thriving upon the epic proportions of Metal, the Swiss traditionalists, which could have been a brainchild of Manowar, challenged again with a new record. This time around, and with their sophomore album, "Might & Power". It might sound ordinary, yet listening to it, is a bound experience of diversity versus tradition. Steinmetal had a good talk with the band's vocalist, Uzzy Unchained about the new run with the album.
Rory Conder
Lunar Mantra
LUNAR MANTRA
are a black metal trio coming from the city of Glasgow in Scotland and they have been active now since 2013. In 2015, they released their first EP named
GENESIS
which was certainly an album full of diversity with instrumentation, experimental processes and produced very well as there is an ambient feel to this EP. They also released a single called
DROLMẨ
in 2017, but they came back with another EP called
PSYCHOSOMATIKA
released through the record label
INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS
(based in Dublin, Ireland). The album was scheduled to be released in 2020 but due to the Covid-19 pandemic that had swept through the world by storm, the band had to delay this until 2021. Since their last release of course, I have now had the chance to talk to
Rory Conder
, who is their guitarist and very much a big part of the band's direction and I am asking him how the band got through Covid-19, whether they have any new music on the way, what inspired the band to create their music and where they are now in terms of their music as to the next step for
LUNAR MANTRA
.
Oscar Rilo
Dark Embrace
There have been countless of labels for bands' music, and it has been spreading so fast due to the larger number of releases coming out on a daily basis. For the Italian Dark Embrace, it was a simple choice, just to name an album with a title that is straightforward enough, "Dark Heavy Metal".Steinmetal had a good talk with the band's Oscar Rilo about the band's latest achievement and more…
Markus Fortunato
Fortunato
FORTUNATO
are a band bringing three very talented musicians from Lyon in France, they are defined as a neoclassical heavy metal band. As they incorporate melodic rock and keyboard making them a very exciting band to watch out for. Up until 2021, they have released two albums,
LIBERTY
in 2012 and
RESTLESS FIRE
in 2015. They brought us a third album fresh off the press called
INSURGENCY
which I had the pleasure of reviewing as it certainly left me with a great impression of what this band is all about. I am of course surprised that this album was out two years ago as the band have managed to surpass the long period of Covid-19, the band are led by bassist
MARKUS FORTUNATO
followed by guitarist
SEBASTIEN VALLEE
as both musicians are still apart of the band.
So it is with great pleasure now that two years since their previous album, they are back of course with a brand new album titled
FROM HIGH ABOVE
in the midst of 2023, as we approach summer now. As the lineup is led with
MARKUS
and
SEBASTIEN
as before, they are now joined by drummer
SLY CONTE
, second guitarist
ALEX FACCINETTO
and keyboard player
STÉPHANE SOULIER
. I can now say that I got the opportunity to chat with
MARKUS
as to how the band got together, about their previous albums and what there is to look forward to now in their new album which is out now this month.
Max Molodtsov
Sorrowful Land
Every cross carried, every burden felt upon is a part of life that either being carried or gradually let go in time. The Ukranian artist, Max Molodtsov, back in the day, created Sorrowful Land, and made it to be its own baby that reflects that inner darkest and doomier feelings. Recently releasing "Faded Anchors of the Past", there is a lot of heavy weight to be unleashed from one's mind and shoulders. Steinmetal had a good talk about the latest happenings in the Ukraine, the new album and more…
Thomas Berglie
Tulus
When death comes knocking, it is possible that most wouldn't like to be there when that happens. Nevertheless, there is a something mystical about it, perhaps it is not actual but rather a sign or a metaphor to a different meaning. The longstanding Tulus just released a new album that states that calling, titled "Fandens Kall", and there is more to it. Steinmetal had a good talk with Thomas Berglie, also known as Sarke, about the new album experience.
Christian Logue
Savage Grace
After the fall from grace, like barbarians at the gate, Savage Grace redound with a new lineup, an improved sound, and a brand new album coming May 5th called: "Sign Of The Cross". This ride into the night is pure Priest adulation with a focus on 1978. SG have been branded as being a Speed Metal Act, based on their Metal Blade era material. However, they have evolved and made a rendezvous with the Traditional Metal sound. Michael Francisco spoke with founding member Christian Logue about his Biography, the past and presence of Savage Grace. This iconoclast has some great anecdotes and wisdom to share, so join the master of disguise on this journey.
Misanthropik Torment
Leviathan
Metal Temple
writer
Justin 'Witty City" Wittenmeier
recently reviewed the latest album,
'Ecdysis'
from extreme metal band
Misanthropik Torment.
He praised the duo's black/death sound for its brutal nature, both lyrically and musically. He recently talked to vocalist & lyricist
Leviathan

had the opportunity to speak to
Justine Daae
about the new era of
ELYOSE,
the new album, and many more things
John Diva
John Diva & The Rockets Of Love
It might be the next step, but there is more to the John Diva & The Rockets Of Love than your average Glam Metal band, especially since there aren't that many out there as the in the past. Being fairly eclectic this time around with the soundtrack to your escape, "The Big Easy", the experience sees a band taking it down a notch in order to come up with the best possible atmosphere under the banner of Rock music. Steinmetal reconvened with John Diva to talk about the what not of the album.
Father Alex
The Temple
As if someone is trying to tell you about your life, but through the basics, from top to bottom, from the womb right until the grave. In overall, it may sound creepy, because who really wants to hear about their own death while they are living the life. Nevertheless, the journey within the areas of The Temple's new album, " Of Solitude Triumphant", shares moments that are a must to understand and comprehend. Steinmetal had a nice little chat with the band's Father Alex about the personal stuff going on within the record and more…
