Lenny B.

Dust Bolt

German Thrashers DUST BOLT decided that 2014 was the year to release some more unrelenting Thrash onto the world, with their second album, "Awake The Riot". A fan since their first release in 2012, our writer Daniel Fox brought up some questions to guitarist Lenny B., regarding the new album and the musings of Thrash Metal in general

Amok

Onheil

Onheil has recently released their latest album "Storm is Coming", so Jessica Howkins, of our UK team has gotten together with Amok, to get all the details.

Alex, Vad, Michael

Deface

DEFACE is a Hardcore / Death Metal band. The band has been going through various of changes throughout its career and it is still going strong, recently finishing a local tour and working on new material for their upcoming release. Our very own Val Smirnoff of the Israeli team was able to speak with all 3 of the members in this video interview (The interview is in Hebrew but there are English subtitles).

Kelly David Smith

Flotsam And Jetsam

Flotsam and Jetsam is a name that most every metal head should be at least familiar with. They have been around for a while, and most recently did a tour with Sepultura. They found the time, however, to speak with the TEMPLE's very own Lior Seinmetal.

Mike LePond

Silent Assassins / Symphony X

What happens when an illustrious bass player, a member of one of most high profile band in the world, namely Mike LePond from SYMPHONY X, gets together with one of the greatest singer in the world, the legendary, the one and only Alan Tecchio (HADES / AUTUMN HOUR / WATCHTOWER / ex NON-FICTION / ex SEVEN WITCHES / ex POWER) and gets an all-star line-up for his first solo adventure…? What happens is called SILENT ASSASSINS… And it's a pure delight and one of the biggest surprises of the second part of the fantastic flow of releases in 2014!

Jannik Fischer

Rebellious Spirit

With their new album "Obsession" coming out soon, Metal Temple's Marcus Kemp caught up with REBELLIOUS SPIRIT founder and lead singer, Jannik Fischer, to ask him some questions via an e-mail interview and talked about the new album, their shows with Axel Rudi Pell, illegal downloads, videogames and more.

Chris Segger

Striker

On August 29th 2014, Canadian Heavy and Power Metal band STRIKER will be releasing their new CD "City of Gold" on Napalm Records. Marcus Kemp from Metal Temple recently conducted an e-mail interview with the guitarist Chris Segger and asked him some questions about the new album as well as some other topics, including personal facts, live shows, illegal downloads, future plans and videogames.

Chris James

Threatpoint

Based in Scranton, Pennsylvania THREATPOINT is a band you'll need more of after listening to one song. The 5 piece metal band just released their sophomore album on October 3rd at Bar on Oak in Pittston, Pennsylvania. THREATPOINT was joined by national act IKILLYA at the release, along with Psychoprism, Cause of Affliction, and Beyond Fallen. Metal Temple recently spoke to the guys of THREATPOINT to learn more about this heavy hitting band.

Mike

Stigmhate

Italian Black Metal's Scene is extremely strong. Names as HANDFUL OF HATE, MALFEITOR and NEFARIUM show that bands from this country have a proper way of music, a characteristic sound that, when we all hear, the feeling is that we are hearing a band from Italy. And this is the case of veteran band STIGMHATE, for their fourth album, "Zodacare Od Zodameranu", is a powerful and excellent blow of fast, aggressive and harsh music, but always with good taste and great arrangements.

So we have the opportunity to interview the band on the figure of Mike, guitarist and founding member of the band, to know more about their history, their present and how the future is going to be to this excellent band.

Sam Totman

Dragonforce

In spite of their many detractors, it's hard to deny that DRAGONFORCE are one of the most popular and unique Power Metal bands in the world. Mike Coyle and Danny Sanderson sat down with one of the masterminds behind the band, Sam Totman, to talk about video games, "Maximum Overload" and how the band has changed in their 15 year career.

Seidemann

1349

1349 are a band that have become synonymous with extremity. Their brand of harsh Black Metal has been winning people over for close to 20 years. Barely able to contain their excitement, Mike Coyle and Danny Sanderson talked to the band's bassist Seidemann about the new album, "Massive Cauldron of Chaos", "True" Black Metal, and 1349's own Beer..

Genevieve Rodda

Temtris

After recently reviewing their fine third album "Shallow Grave" for the site, I knew it was important to find out more about this Australian Dark Metal act through the eyes of vocalist Genevieve Rodda. I hope you enjoy this interview and seek out this band's three album discography, as there is a wealth of talent bursting these days from the land Down Under.

Al Crespo

Unbreakable

For hard rock newcomers UNBREAKABLE, the future is now. The buzz around this band has been growing steadily for the last couple of years, and with the release of their debut album, "Knockout", the time has come for the world to witness what everyone has been talking about. Consisting of Al Crespo (vocals), Martin Ries (guitar), Pascal Alles (guitar), Lukas Mittler (bass) and Alexander Ries (drums), this band plays a style of music that is very reminiscent of the classic 80's hair bands that once dominated the music industry and propelled many bands into the stratosphere. I recently had the opportunity to interview frontman Al Crespo and hopefully, get our readers a little more familiar with the band.

Steve Blaze

Lillian Axe

With a brand new album under their belts, Lillian Axe have got quite a lot going on for them. Here is what happens when Metal Temple resident Lady Spitfire catches them for a quick word.

The Evil Revenrend N.

Necros Christos

Necros Christos has released "Nine Graves", and Metal Temple has come through again getting the band to talk to us about it. Adam Clarke has gotten the chance to speak with Mors Dalos Ra, guitarist and vocalist. Let's see what he has to say!!

Yaov Efron

Distorted Harmony

With the release of their second album, it was our pleasure to have Yoav, from DISTORTED HARMONY speak with our team member Gilad. Chain reaction was released mid year, and here we have thechanceto here what theartist has to say.

Vogg

Decapitated

DECAPITTED are getting ready to release their next album "Blood Mantra". As busy as they are preparing for this release, they still took the time to speak with Metal Temple's Aaron Price. So for all you Metal Heads out there who are excited about the new release, here is what they had to say!!

Darkyra Black

Darkyra Black

DARKYRA BLACK has just released their album dragon tears. Our own Charlotte Wittingham had the opportunity to speak speak with the front woman, who uses the stage name, same as band name. Releasing albums is a big deal toa band, here is what she had to say to Metal Temple.

Thomas Brenna, Lukas Paulsen, Stian "Stevie" Helle, Espen Nesset

Lonely Kamel

LONELY KAMEL are due to release their latest album "Shit City" very soon; find out what happened when Metal Temple representative Zakk Belkin caught up with them.

Pauly

Stallion

STALLION has been pretty busy lately with the upcoming release of "Rise and Ride". They were able to talk to Daniel Fox though. Originally this interview was to be with Olli, instead I got the chance to speak with founding member, and front man Pauly.

Mikey Doling

Channel Zero

With their new album already out to the public, CHANNEL ZERO have found time to talk "King Of All Kings" with Aaron Price, what it's like releasing an album on Metal Blade Records and maybe even they have a couple secrets to share.

Joe Cocchi

Within The Ruins / Tin Bridge

Joe Cocchi has been a very busy man as of late, working full time on WITHIN THE RUINS, and also starting up his brewery Tin Bridge. Nevertheless, he found the time to speak with Steinmetal. All about music, beer, and the fact that it's never too late start something new.

Dan Briggs

Trioscapes

Dan Briggs, is a name most of you know from BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. TRIOSCAPES is a bit different. It can be hard enough to start one band and get the name known, but there are the few who manage to pull off multiple projects. Especially ones that differ in sound and genre the way he has done with (at least) these two. "Digital Dream Sequence" is the band's debut release.

David Marcelis

Lord Volture

LORD VOLTURE have been making a name for themselves on the Heavy Metal scene in Europe over the last few years. Finally, they have played their first English show at SOS festival in Manchester. After they came offstage, Danny Sanderson spoke to singer David Marcelis about the Siege of Badajoz, their new record label, their homeland and…erm… Bacon Trees….

Nillo Sevanen

Insomnium

INSOMNIUM, is yet another fantastic Melodic Death Metal band hailing from Finland. They show talent, devotion and hard work proving their love for what they do. They are soon to release their 6th album, "Shadows of the Dying Sun". I was lucky enough to receive the opportunity to speak with Nillo Sevanen about their new album.

Helmuth

Belphegor

I have been quite the fiendish fan of Black Metal and the evil side since I was an early teen. So when I found out about the interview with Helmuth from BELPHEGOR, you can bet your sweet satanic ass that I jumped instantly at it. Their brand of Blackened Death Metal is second to none. The eery music, with the blasphemous lyrics are perfect for each other. The Bondage Goat Zombies are releasing their brand new album "Conjuring The Dead" , and I for one am stoked about it. So enough of my rambling, let's get to the good stuff.

Mr. V

Vintersorg

And it's time to speak with one legend of Swedish Metal, VINTERSORG. Well known for doing a mix between melodic themes with harsh aspects of extreme Metal, and for being creative, now the duo comes with their new album, "Naturbål". Marcos "Big Daddy" Garcia could talk with them, to know about the past, present and future plans.

Herman Li / Sam Totman

DragonForce

Shredding in the speed of light, over the hills and down to the plains far into the sun, sounds like a Power Metaller's dream doesn't it. Well, DRAGONFORCE never stopped speeding their way to success, and there they go with a new release in the pipeline, firing barrages of riffs and uncanny guitar techs for the flavor. Lotty talked to Herman Li and Sam Totman of the band release the new album, UK Tour and more…

ZP Theart

I Am I

When he first started to get into Metal music almost a decade ago, Danny Sanderson relied on a steady diet of SLIPKNOT, LAMB OF GOD and DRAGONFORCE. The latter in particular was something he loved. In the years since that time, the band's singer, ZP Theart, has left and subsequently formed his own band, I AM I And today, some 7 or 8 years after first hearing "Fury of the Storm", Danny gets to speak to the man who sang on that track about the new I AM I record, lineup changes, supergroups, and the importance of Science-Fiction and Fantasy in Heavy Metal.

Jon Davis

Conan

The English stoned mongers CONAN have been out there grinding with Doom since 2006, yet began escalating with the release of their debut album. Now, signed to Napalm Records, and with a second release under their belt, "Blood Eagle", they spread out their wings. H.P. Buttcraft talked with Jon Davis of the band regarding the new release, band and more…

Douwe Talma

Enraged

Recently the Dutch ENRAGED, which is far from a newcomer band, worked with some renowned artists for the release of their new album "It's Your Fear That Feeds Their Power". Still provoking Extreme Metal, their efforts were critically acclaimed. YngwieViking talked with Douwe Talma of the band regarding the new album and more...

Richie Faulkner

Judas Priest

Back again with a new release, JUDAS PRIEST introduce "Redeemer Of Souls" as their new studio album. Furthermore, this fairly new album also officially introduced the new lead guitarist, Richie Faulkner to the ranks of PRIEST. Deaddie talked with Richie about the new release, his new position in such an iconic band and more…

Joff Bailey

Savage Messiah

London's SAVAGE MESSIAH are fast becoming one of the UK's premier Thrash / Heavy Metal acts, alongside bands like EVILE and TRIAXIS. Danny Sanderson caught up with the band's lead guitarist, Joff Bailey, before they hit the stage for SOS Festival to talk about Government approved funded Rock 'n' Roll, Game of Thrones, and how one of the standout tracks on "The Fateful Dark" almost never saw the light of day...

Brandon Baumann

Diamond Lane

Through the good fortune of this magazine, I've gained the opportunity to expose my ears to fresh sounds from the independent / underground scene. One of the records that recently caught my ear in a great way is "Terrorizer" from Los Angeles Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal band DIAMOND LANE. Deciding it was necessary to learn more about the group, Matt Coe fired off some questions to vocalist Brandon Baumann, and here are his thoughtful answers.

Dakkar

Narbeleth

Hailing with a blackened art following the old ways of extremity, the one man show of NARBELETH, featuring the multi-instrumentalist Dakkar, recently released a new album. Erika had a talk with Dakkar about his project, new release and more…

Aad Kloosterwaard

Sinister

Since the past five years it would seem that the Dutch SINISTER, one of the early juggernauts of Death Metal presenting the classic Death Metal definitiveness of the early 90's, has been though twists and turns with its lineup. However, Aad Kloosterwaard, lead vocals, is a survivor and he won't let his band go to waste thus fighting for its survival. Daniel Fox talked to Aad about the band's new album through Massacre Records, "The Post-Apocalyptic Servant", and about the band and music.
