Johan Fahlberg
Jaded Heart
JADED HEART seems to have surpassed the departure of charismatic singer Michael Bormann. Equally dynamic frontman Johan Fahlberg has put the melodic Heavy Rock band bak in the map and - as their latest album, Sinister Mind, confirms - we will have lots more to hear from this notable German act. Johan was kind enough to answer briefly regarding all things JADED HEART era 2007.
James Atkinson
Gentlemans Pistols
GENTLEMANS PISTOLS is a Leeds based Hard Rock band that made my speakers explode with its powerful and fresh music. Soon after I reviewed the band's self-titled debut album, I really wanted to have an interview with the band. The band's mainman James Atkinson (vocals/guitar) was kind enough to spend some time answering my questions about the band's signing with Rise Above Records, the bass player's headbutting abilities and the LED ZEPPELIN reunion. Enjoy...
Ignitor
Ignitor
IGNITOR's Road Of Bones will please all old-school Metal followers. The US Metal band clarifies why, in (rather) brief terms.
Michael Schwager
Dreamscape
DREAMSCAPE have just released their latest album, 5th Season, and we grabbed the chance for a brief talk with the German Prog Metal band's drummer Michael Schwager. Here you are!
Johan Lindstedt
Astral Doors
If your taste ranges from late 70s Hard Rock to 80s Euro Power Metal, then ASTRAL DOORS is your newest favourite band! This Swedish six-piece had already delivered three excellent albums the last 4-5 years but this year's New Revelation can easily act as their finest (so far) creation. Skinsman Johan Lindstedt was kind enough to answer a dozen of questions via E-mail. Enjoy!
Carl Birath
Insision
I remember my first amazement when I listened to INSISION's Beneath The Folds Of Flesh (2002) album. Their brutality and their achievement to have their own unique sound in a time when many Death Metal bands sound common and release boring and uninspired albums is really incredible. When I reviewed the band's latest album (Ikon) I had the chance to interview the band's frontman Carl Birath (vocals), one of the best Death Metal singers out there in my humble opinion. Read what he had to answer to my questions below...
Andy McCoy
Hanoi Rocks
The band's newest Street Poetry album is an excellent release and Andy McCoy is half of the HANOI ROCKS legend. Really an honour to talk with him, in brief. Nuff said! Roll it.
John Slater
Rise to Addiction
RISE TO ADDICTION is a band that managed to amaze me from the very first second of A New Shade Of Black For The Soul. I really wanted to have an interview with one of these guys and since I had the chance I asked Mr. John Slater (guitarist) several questions. We had a nice talk about the Metal scene and... Dave Mustaine's opinion on the band!
Matt Drake
Evile
EVILE's music in their Enter The Grave debut album is so exciting that I couldn't keep away from contacting the band for some extra info. These UK Thrash maniacs are rather ordered to kill us with some kick-ass songs and - to tell you the truth - I feel it should be Flemming Rasmussen's honour working with you, not vice versa, right Matt? Please, enter the Metal Temple catacombs, we've been expecting you!
Nick Christolis
Potergeist
When I reviewed POTERGEIST's debut album Southwards, I realized that these guys are a band with great potential that can easily compete the top names in the Stoner/Southern Metal scene. If you belong to the ones that like to enjoy their beer (or whiskey, depends on your taste) while listening to a good, groovy and fucking heavy album, the Athenian potheads added one more groovy opus to accompany your alcoholic moments! Ride on brothers!
Dani Loble
Helloween
It was a nice Friday noon and I had to skip from work since HELLOWEEN were in town for their promo tour on the upcoming Gambling With The Devil album. I had an excellent time talking to the latest lineup addition Dani Loble who was excited with his new band and more than eager to answer to all METAL TEMPLE's question and more. So, read on!
Micke Dahlqvist
Dogpound
I love doing interviews with down-to-earth smiling musicians. DOGPOUND's guitarist Micke should be the perfect company for some beer on a local Rock bar, right? Due to the recent release of the Swedish (extended) Hard Rock quartet's great III album, we had the chance to talk bout Rock, Sweden, humor and PeterTagtgren(!). Tres bien Micke!
Mat Sinner
Primal Fear
New Religion marks a new beginning for PRIMAL FEAR; what an exciting album. These German metallers have just released one of their finest efforts to date and bassist Mat Sinner was eager enough to share a few thoughts with us regarding the band's perspective in the past/future. And, yes, I do think New Religion is better than Seven Seals!
Mirko Olivo
Ancestral
Half Italian bands are, indeed, very good while the other half sound rather boring. Thankfully, ANCESTRAL belong to 'case A' and their debut album, The Ancient Curse, surely is a notable piece of European Power/Epic Metal music. The band's singer, Mirko Olivo, was rather willing to have a little chat with the mag for your pleasure.
Paul Logue & Michael Eden
Eden's Curse
Looking at the EDEN'S CURSE review over and over again, I suppose I should have placed an even higher grading. Eden's Curse can as well be one of the most notable Hard 'n' Heavy releases in 2007, let aside the fact we're talkin' about one of the most impressive debut releases I've listened to the last years... Paul Logue (bass) and Michael Eden (vocals) are kind and fluent enough to let us know how does it feel to record such an excellent 'melodic' stuff in some 'angry' 21st century.
Mike Scalzi
Slough Feg
SLOUGH FEG's new fine album, Hardworlder, was a good motive to hook up with the US band's Mike Scalzi in order to - eventually - have a weird conversation. Hey, I like yor names; any way, with a band name like (The Lord Weird) SLOUGH FEG you could never have Johnson and Smith names, ha ha! In addition...Dio is the God himself!
Renato Tribuzy
Tribuzy
Speaking with Renato Tribuzy was a real pleasure; deep from the heart. So gentle, so helpful, so warm-hearted...bearing in mind the man's already collaborated with grand Metal stars like Bruce Dickinson, Mat Sinner, Ralf Scheepers, Kiko Lureiro, Roland Grapow and Michael Kiske I was ready to tell him he can be considered as a Metal star too, from now on. Enjoy the Execution: Live Reunion DVD and get excited by his (and their) performance!
David Readman
David Readman
David Readman's first solo album is the hot pick for this year's summer. Fresh, 'hard' and passionate, the CD's been spinning a lot in my CD player the last days. The man behind the PINK CREAM 69 mic was more than eager to answer a couple (or dozen?) of questions and - by the way - we did 'unearth' his relation to Adrian Smith. Wow...
Thanasis
Oblivion Echo
OBLIVION ECHO gave an example of their promising work in the A Dream Within A Dream demo CD. The Metal Temple crew asked the band members several questions to find more on this new band. Read on and support the underground!
Don Wolf
White Wolf
WHITE WOLF is the kind of band not lucky enough to enjoy wordlwide success in the 80s. Despite the fact many bands of that era reunite only to record mediocre albums in the 00's, this is not the case for this wonderful Canadian piece. Victim Of The Spotlight is an excellent Hard/Heavy album (old-school, of course) and I wonder what the band's mainman, Don Wolf, has to say for WHITE WOLF's aim in the 21st century.
George Kollias
Nile
As we descend into the forgotten catacombs of a lost pyramid placed in the center of a desert, our minds keep thinking. What are we thinking? How this band manages to unleash - every time - an album better than the previous one? NILE is a phenomenon for several reasons, but also is a great band for this one: they become better and better, from the songs they compose to their performance and skill abilities with their instrumentation. Drummer George Kollias tells us how all these can be achieved.
Bjorn Jansson
Ride The Sky
Bjorn Jansson has an excellent voice that is featured in RIDE THE SKY's debut release New Generation. This album made quite an impression to the Metal Temple restless crew that contacted Bjorn and had a most interested discussion about the new band.
Russell Allen
Symphony X
Paradise Lost has made a really big impression throughout the Metal community and Metal Temple crew took the opportunity to talk with the band's voice Russell Allen. Despite his cold he was more than eager to answer to out questions about almost everything.
Vulvathrone
Vulvathrone
It was a while ago when I had the chance to review the debut album of a band totally unknown to me. Their weird name (VULVATHRONE) and their more than porn Grind album title Bukkake was indicative for what I would face. Even though such band usually annoy me and their album's end up in my garbage list, these guys kicked the living shit out of me and I really wanted to interview them, even via mail. Mail interviews with such guys suck, because you lose the whole fun! I hope I will have the chance to drink some beers with them in the near future. Enjoy them!
Raw In Sect
Raw In Sect
The Greek underground Metal scene has many things to offer; at least that's my opinion. RAW IN SECT's demo CD, which I reviewed a while ago managed to confirm my view on the Greek Metal scene with its technical and groovy Death Metal. If this band keeps up like this and finds a good promotion deal, we will surely be talking about them in some years!
Marcos Cesar
Urban Tales
URBAN TALES is a new band from Portugal. Marcos Cesar (vocals) is talking about the band, their debut album and the difficulties a band from his country is facing. Interview by Harry P.
Ken Hensley
Ken Hensley
Ken Hensley is well known from his work during the prime and most succesful URIAH HEEP era. For many, his Hammond organ sound has been the milestone to the keyboards' role in the Hard Rock and Metal scene and has built the foundation for the Progressive Metal sound. The Metal Temple was truly honored to have a really nice discussion with Mr. Hensley despite the hot as hell weather in Athens, Greece.
Marco Mendoza
Marco Mendoza
When you meet one of the most wanted musicians in the business you wish you had more time to talk about all the projects he is involved with. BLUE MURDER, WHITESNAKE, TED NUGENT, SOUL SIRKUS, THIN LIZZY, DOLORES O'RIORDAN, to a name a few. A hot day in the middle of the summer, Athens is burning, but Marco Mendoza seems to enjoy it.
Sam Bean
The Senseless
I recently had the chance to review Sam Bean's (THE BERZERKER's bassist) latest solo effort - which also was his debut one - and I can say that I was really impressed! You can also see this by reading my review on the album. Anyway, after that I decided to contact him for a small mail interview and he was more than willing to do it. So I just sent my questions and I saw that apart from a great musician, something he doesn't want to admit, he is also a great and warm person. Here's what he had to say about THE SENSELESS, THE BERZERKER and the weird way he managed to sign a contract.
Lars Criss
Lion's Share
If you've missed this notable Swedish Metal band, grand bells toll on their return after six hole years! And the best thing is: Emotional Coma sounds like the best LION'S SHARE album to date! This interview features tons of info from mainman Lars Criss - the man's in love with good English, thankfully! - while it seems Emotional Coma will occupy our CD players for a long long time.
Joe Caravis
Beyond Fallen
BEYOND FALLEN is a Heavy/Melodic/Power/Progressive American Metal band with characteristic sound and metallic crunch that is running through their blood. They are kind of a new formed band so here you get a chance to hear their vocalist and mainman Joe Karavis, explaining the reasons someone might get interested in them. So, grab your chalice of blood and jump into the exploration of these new pretenders to the Metal throne.
Chity Somapala
Civilization One
The newly crafted band of CIVILIZATION ONE features the guiding ability of the well-known voice of Chity Somapala (ex-FIREWIND). Surrounded by a set of equally known musicians, Chity was eager enough to grab his keyboard (sic) and answer to a set of questions sent, regarding the band's Revolution Rising debut album. C'mon, let's go...
Kai Nergaard
Griffin
Kai and GRIFFIN; the band has released a wonderful album - again - and I couldn't stand asking the Norwegian Metal act's mainman 'bout their new The Ultimate Demise release. If this is a demise, then let Metal music more 'decadent' than ever before!
Steve Handel
Seventh Calling
Steve Handel and Lance Lange are the kinda 'guitar duo' axemen that will blow your speakers at first hearing; SEVENTH CALLING's debut album is entitled Monuments and the USA-based band seems rather hungry on providing the Metal world with some neckbreaking Heavy Metal assault. We caught up with Steve and here is what he proposes regarding SEVENTH CALLING's intentions for 2007.
Mike Hood
Hoods
After reviewing many stuff from the Black Metal scene I was really tired and this Hardcore band appeared like an oasis in front of me. Their pure brutal Hardcore could just not leave my CD player. As soon as I reviewed their latest album Ghettoblaster, I thought it was also time for a short interview. Let's see what Mike Hood (guitar, vocals) had to say.
Heer Antikrist
Grimm
I too think that Pagan Metal music is romantic and cultural; I too feel Black Metal music being (among others) an 'evil' extend of Punk music. I was happy to hear GRIMM's mainman Heer Antikrist having the same opinion. With the Dutch band's latest Heksenkrinken CD release on the loose, this interview is definitely brief but 'rich' in messages. The circle of witches continues...
