Jeff Legg recently had a conversation with Diva Satanica, the phenomenal female vocalist for the Death Metal band BLOODHUNTER. I need to mention that after requesting an interview, she messaged me back within a matter of minutes to let me know that she would do it. I was blown away that she was so gracious and humble for someone that must have little or no spare time these days. Her band is on an upward rocket ride as they gain fans and popularity worldwide in this, the heaviest genre of music on the planet. With the release of BLOODHUNTER's new self-titled album, out now on Suspiria Records, this extremely powerful new band will leave you with no doubt that their intentions are to melt your face beyond recognition. These 11 songs are brutal and fast but have melodic overtones that blend perfectly.

He gets into his past, the excellent new album, "Big Trouble" from HOLLYWOOD MONSTERS, and what the future holds for him and his current band of talented and much traveled musicians. He has joined forces with Tim Bogert on bass (VANILLA FUDGE, CACTUS), Don Airey on keyboard (DEEP PURPLE, WHITESNAKE, MICHAEL SCHENKER), and Vinnie Appice on drums (DIO, BLACK SABBATH). With a sound remeniscent of classic bands like WHITESNAKE, DEEP PURPLE, and BLUE MURDER to name a few, these guys offer up a gem of an album that the music industry has been in need of for years. Every track on "Big Trouble" is really strong, well crafted songs and should have the classic rock enthusiast smiling from ear to ear.

Tony Reed

Samron Jude

Sceptre

SCEPTRE is a 4-piece Metal outfit that has been in the Indian Metal scene for around 14 years now. SCEPTRE are proud winners of IRock 2003 and have performed at numerous metal gigs across India and their music has influenced thousands of fans across the globe. After the launch of their debut album "Now or Never" in 2008 and a couple of line-up changes later, 2013 saw the band's new album "Age of Calamity" – which had darker riffs and heavier vocals, coupled with high-voltage drumming and bass. SCEPTRE comprises of Gilroy Fernandes (Guitars), Aniket Waghmode (Drums), Samron Jude (Vocals) and Janus Sayal (Bass). SCEPTRE played here in Bangalore on 25^th May along 11 other bands, headlined by SUIDAKRA. So the next day V.Srikar caught up with the vocalist Samron Jude to have a chat to speak about music and more.

Attila

Mayhem

MAYHEM has been hailed as the most notorious and influential band in the history of Black Metal, and much of the happenings in their earlier years (such as the murder, suicide, church burnings, and rumours of cannibalism) have become the stuff of legend in the underground scene. However, these topics are so well documented that there really isn't anything new that can be said about them (although Dolk from KAMPFAR is currently working on a biography that should be a very interesting read with his more objective outsider perspective), and so, when I got the opportunity to interview MAYHEM, I steadfastly resolved to look at other aspects of the band. So when I sat down with Attila before their recent show in Munich, much of the conversation revolved around touring, the upcoming album "Esoteric Warfare", the impact of the two new guitarists on the band, and Cold War based artwork. And of course in order to commemorate their 30^th anniversary, we also talked about the change of influences and recording processes over the years, as well as the media stigma attached to the band.

Mattis Karlsson

Dynamite

Jeff Legg interviewed Mattis Karlsson of the fast rising, Swedish band, DYNAMITE. With the release of their second full length LP, "Blackout Station" (release date-May 24^th via High Roller Records), these guys have given notice to the world that they are a band that needs to be recognized alongside the bands dominating the current Hard Rock charts. With a sound reminiscent of the old school '80 Hard Rock era, they have drawn comparisons to AC/DC, BUCKCHERRY, KROKUS, and even a personal favorite of mine, DIRTY LOOKS. The band consists of Mattis Karlsson on lead vocals/guitar, Sebastian Hed-Plikas on guitar, Adam Butler on bass, and Jonas Hagström on drums. This is easily one of my favorite albums of the year so far.

Paul Logue, Thorsten Kohne, John Clelland, Steve Williams, Nikola Mijic

Eden's Curse

The international melodic Heavy Metal act, EDEN'S CURSE, has been trying to head on strong after the release of their new album "Symphony Of Sin", via AFM Records, which also presented a new talented vocalist. Charlotte attended the band's gig in London and set down to have a talk about various of things going on with this assorted group.
