legacy, the general acceptance of Black Metal in modern times and the new album.

BLEED AGAIN
are home grown from Lancing, West Sussex which along with Brighton and it's surrounding areas seem to be a brilliant breeding ground for Metal bands; Lotty Whittingham caught them at Mammothfest after they tore the venue apart with their boundless energy, rip roaring tunes and their interactivity with the audience.

Jason Morley
Metaspherical

Jason Morley
from the band
METASPHERICAL
. Not just another supergroup, the core band consists of metal legends
Gene Hoglan
,
Kelly Shaefer
and a whole range of known and until now unknown metal musicians from across the globe.
This project is a collective of musicians and also sub genres of metal with influences across the board from Black metal to Death metal to Progressive rock. The collective is not only stretching the boundaries in that way but also is extremely global with musicians from across the planet participating. They chat about this and also about Sweet Relief which is a charity which assists musicians who have suffered medical injuries. Jason is using this project to help get the word out there about this brilliant organisation that is there for many musicians in need.
Mike Angastiniotis, George Masouras, Mark McDonald, Andreas Spyrou, Andrew Laghos
Stormcast
STORMCAST
hail from Cyprus and they are starting to storm the UK Metal scene with their exhilarating music.

SILENT VOICES
, will start touring in mid-October, and with
SONATA ARCTICA
, will start touring first thing in January 2016.
Fernanada Lira, Prika Amaral
Nervosa
The Thrash Metal scene is certainly a prominent one in our community. Brazil have become a promising breeding ground for some of the best new Metal since the birth
SEPULTURA
in 1984. One of the best upcoming bands from Brazil is Thrash Metal trio
NERVOSA
and to say they are storming the scene would be a huge understatement. Our representative Lotty Whittingham spoke to members
Fernanda Lira
and
Prika Amaral
about their sound, the Metal scene in Brazil, their European tour and being part of a male dominated.
Brian Eschbach
The Black Dahlia Murder
Hot off their heels from a new album and heading into a tour celebrating the 10-year anniversary for

Lars Johansson
Candlemass
Among his various projects alongside with being the lead guitarist for the legendary Swedish band
CANDLEMASS
that has set the guidelines for Doom metal bands to come,
Lars Johansson
cherishes his early blues Rock/ Hard Rock influences with a super band of ace musicians, to name but a few fellow
CANDLEMASS
mate
Màts Leven
( ex.
THERION
as well) and the late Roger Eklöf on guitars (rest in peace). The self-titled album was indeed the best tribute possibly paid to him as well as the 70s galactic music trek within riffs and fusion. As someone having an aversion to the term "interview" for its stressful connotation, discussing music with
Lars
is actually more of a chilled conversation in a cultural café. Certainly Metal Temple readers will get the point!
N.B.: at 16 minutes 40, it's a reference to the first metal camp fest in Africa that has just been cancelled due to the newly-announced state of emergency in Tunisia. We hope the fest gets on its feet next year!
Alex Varkatzas
Atreyu
That's right; that one metalcore band that first broke you into 'heavy music' if you were a teenager in the mid 2000's is still alive and kicking. Coming back from a lengthy hiatus,
ATREYU
are releasing
"Long Live"
at long last. Laura had a short chat with frontman
Alex
, about their fans' reaction to their return, the feeling of returning to a stage, and maximizing their aggressive, 'metal' side on the new record, and him completely dropping clean vocals.
Victor Griffin
Pentagram
In this interview Terry was lucky enough to speak to
Victor Griffin
from the band
PENTAGRAM
. Although not being in the band from the start he has spent the last 3 decades involved with the band. They talk about the new album, his influences and about his career in music touching on career highlights, what fans mean to him and the modern face of music and media.
Oskar Jakobsson
Ambush
Terry had a chat with
Oskar Jakobsson
from the Swedish Heavy metal band
AMBUSH
. This is their second release so they had a talk about their new album, how the band came together and Heavy metal heroes. They also chat about influences, what makes good metal and also get some advice for young musicians.
Ross The Boss
Death Dealer
The man himself needs no introduction, but as Julius quickly points out,
Ross The Boss's
new band,
DEATH DEALER
, certainly does. Ultimately a bulwark of powerful and energetic Heavy Metal,
Ross
is quick to mention that they are set about making a statement that they are not "just another supergroup". He discussed this aspect of the band with Julius, along with why previous material flew under the radar, new line-up changes and why the new album is supposed to solidify their place in the face of adversity within the metal community.
Jill Janus
Huntress
Californian Heavy Metal force
HUNTRESS
are due to release their most brutal release to date soon and it is not one to miss; it is titled
"Static"
and it will do more than blow minds. One of our representatives Lotty Whittingham spoke to no-nonsense frontwoman
Jill Janus
about this upcoming release, her struggles with mental health and cancer.
"Static"
is due for release 25th September 2015 via Napalm Records.
Juergen Engler
Die Krupps
Having recently come out with a new album, titled
"Metal Machine Music"
,
Juergen Engler
of German Industrial metallers
DIE KRUPPS
had a lot to discuss with Chelsea. They touched on an upcoming US tour, why they sing in German and the over-regulation by corporations in the home country which inspired some of their new music.
Timo Kotipelto
Stratovarius
Sometimes, things do not go according to plan, as it were with Daniel's interview with
Timo Kotipelto
of
STRATOVARIUS
, wherein the recording was swallowed by the abyss of cyberspace. Being the nice man that he is,
Timo
elected to re-conduct the interview via email overnight. He re-indulged on a transition back to a 'pre-
"Elements"
' sound with the new album, the importance of singing lessons even far into one's career, the number 7, and the benefits of having your producer in your band.
Liv Kristine
Leave's Eyes
Having just come out with a new album, titled
"King of Kings"
, it's about time Metal Temple once again caught up with
LEAVES' EYES
lead singer,
Liv Kristine
.
Laura had a pleasant chat with
Liv
about the new album, her love for Viking and Medieval history, how that inspired much of
LEAVES' EYES
music, her own visual art aspirations and why being a woman in a male-dominated music scene isn't so different.
Marko & Witch N.
Ashtar
Calling themselves "Black Sludge Doom", Switzerland's
ASHTAR
are certainly one of the more eclectic of the genre's throughputs. Their debut album.
"Ilmasaari"
, having been released in June this year, the band shared a few words with Calen about the nature of the album title, being in a band as husband and wife, and mixing beauty with heaviness.
Ignazio Nicastro & Giangabriele Lo Pilato
Eversin
An extraordinary and experimental Thrash band in their own right, Italians

, where the band were interested in exploring the "idea of destruction and self-destruction that stands behind the creation of a nuclear weapon". Aaron shared a few words with guitarist
Giangabriele Lo Pilato
and bassist
Ignazio Nicastro
about their enthusiasm for wartime philosophies, their festival plans, and their distaste for the majority of new bands.
George Harris, Michael Burrough, Jai Patel
The Raven Age
THE RAVEN AGE
are a self funded Melodic Metal band hailing from the UK; they are already having people demanding encores from their lives shows and that's impressive for a support band. Metal Temple's Lotty Whittingham spoke to
George
,
Michael
and
Jai
before they supported
BRITISH LION
on the Southampton date of their tour; they spoke about their sound, live show and their upcoming projects.
Tomi Koivusaari
Amorphis
One of metal's hardest bands to classify or pigeonhole,
AMORPHIS
seem to improve with every record, and the 2015 release, titled
"Under The Red Cloud"
, is no exception. Building on the new lyrical and musical direction they took with 2013's
"Circle"
, the new motherload was recorded under renowned producer
Jens Bogren
whom, as
Tomi
discusses, in the following interview, pushed the band to new levels.
Tomi
also had quite a lot to say to Daniel about their heavier direction, the kind of influence
Jens
had on the new album, how
AMORPHIS
' creative process never manage to stagnate and the kinds of setlists we can expect on upcoming tours.
Chris Charles
Godsized
In 2015 it's hard to find bands that really stick out from the crowd,
GODSIZED
however do that with their hard hitting riffs and epic solos that are impossible to hate. Coming off the back of releasing their latest album

the band are in full spirits playing the S.O.P.H.I.E stage at the festival, Metal Temple talks to guitarist
Chris Charles
about the album and plans ahead.
Petri Lindroos

ENSIFERUM
are gracing the main stage of
Bloodstock Open Air
to a huge crowd. Emily Coulter Metal Temple talks to their vocalist
Petri Lindroos
about playing the festival & touring the band.
Axel Sjöberg
Graveyard
Who would have thought there could be a negative connotation to the word "vintage"?
GRAVEYARD
don't normally like to be associated with it; drummer
Axel Sjöberg
tells Metal Temple's Lotty Whittingham why that is alongside other topics such as their new, upcoming album, what they have in store and the strong reference about people literally shovelling shit in their latest video
"The Apple And The Tree"
Paolo Gregoletto
Trivium
It's Friday the 7
th
of August and the Bloodstock festival has begun, the almighty
TRIVIUM
are tonight's headliner's and they are surely worthy of tonight's slot on the
Ronnie James Dio
Stage. With a backlog of classic albums such as
''Ascendancy''
and
''Shogun''
, with
''Silence In The Snow''
coming out in October it's a sure fact that they'll have a huge crowd. Emily from Metal Temple speaks to

Marty Friedman
After many years away from America, now a big star in Japan, the legendary ex-
MEGADETH
guitarist
Marty Friedman
"returned home" last year and brought us a new phenomenal opus to listen! The wait was surely well worth it; he and Jean-François Briard go deep into how all of this happened with his new label, his recent collaboration on the album with ex-bandmate
Jason Becker
(who was diagnosed with ALS in the early 90's) his personal recommendations for his previously only-Japanese albums (that have been recently re-issued by Prosthetic Records) and his life since he moved to Japan!
Iyaan & Naut
Ethereal
When we are dealing with England, we must have in mind: Metal was born in those lands. And it's not difficult to see England giving birth to many of revolutions inside Metal scene.
Metal was born there, came back to life on NWOBHM, and reached high popularity thanks to English bands. And of course we can name some important bands as
BLACK SABBATH
,
IRON MAIDEN
,
SAXON
, and on extreme Metal,
ONSLAUGHT
and
CRADLE OF FILTH
. But actually, another name is rising, carrying the torch and the spear of English Metal: the Liverpool based quintet
ETHEREAL
.
After two independent EPs (2005's
"Hells Divine Existence"
, and 2011's
"Revelation Beast"
), in January they release via Candlelight Records their first album,
"Opus Aethereum"
, one extreme Metal jewel, that is opening new possibilities into Black Metal due it's melodic and symphonic approach, but with a brutal and oppressive grasp.
We had the opportunity to interview the band, and here it is for you all.
Stefano Fiori
Graveworm
Italian and proud,
GRAVEWORM
have been expanding their horizons since the early 90s. Exploring within the realm of Gothic and dark metal through a great discography of 9 records, the quintet aim to stay true to their roots, especially now with their latest release
''Ascending Hate''
. When Charlotte Lamontagne spoke with the vocalist,
Stefano Fiori
, she asked about the new album, it's concepts, the artistic approach, tour life and the goals the band have set for the future.

needs no introduction; the band where all past disappointed
NIGHTWISH
fans see the light at the end of the tunnel, and lately, they've been the rising force of Symphonic Metal Scene, and they will release their newest EP

this week. It was a great privilege for Guy to speak to their vocalist
Dianne
, while we were talking about
XANDRIA
