Neil Fallon - (Clutch)

August 18, 2005

Clutch is a band that I've been listening to and following for about the past 7 years. I've seen them 3 times and each time is outstanding. Being granted this interview was a total honor. I met Neil (Fallon- singer) on his bus about an hour before they were to play. He was totally relaxed, down to earth and extremely hospitable. He spoke to me about being on The Sounds of The Underground Tour and the method and philosophies behind the immense band, Clutch.

Chris Caffery - (Chris Caffery)

August 7, 2005

It's been a year since our first interview with guitarist/singer Chris Caffery (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and solo) and I felt the time was right for a sequel since there were more than just a few things I wanted to ask Chris. Things that had happened during this one year, things that mainly had to do with his solo career but also a few undying questions (concerning TSO and Savatage) which I simply had to ask. Chris is - apart from an excellent musician - one of the friendliest persons I've known from the world of Rock/Metal and was more than happy to set this interview up. I guess this probably means Chris and I will be doing an interview every August, so until August 2006, here's what Mr. Caffery had to tell me...

Dries Van Damme - (After All)

July 23, 2005

The evolution of Heavy Metal music can easily be transcribed in the deeds of bands like this excellent act from Belgium. After All deliver (again) a high-quality album with endless 80's Metal roots and tons of up-to-date ingredients. Dries must be the perfect man to drink nonstop beers with and chat 'bout Metal gems on vinyl. It was also really interesting to see what he had to say 'bout our favorite music. One step beyond, please...

Matthew Bizilia & Sin - (Icarus Witch)

July 7, 2005

[This interview is a kind contribution by: Marcin Ksiazek of Heavy Metal Pages magazine]

When you listen to your favorite 80's Heavy Metal releases how often do you ask yourselves this question: why isn't anyone playing like this anymore? I do it a lot. There is no doubt that classic Heavy Metal nowadays is being played in a bit different way and even though there's a really big group of bands who are trying to resurrect the spirit of Metal from the old days, only few of them actually manage to do it. Hailing from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, this young band called Icarus Witch proved with their brilliant debut EP Roses On White Lace that they are one of them. What's their secret? Find out for yourselves.

Jake Daniels, Adair Cobley & Clint Grego - (Manntis)

June 10, 2005

For those out there that are out of touch with the world of Metal, Manntis is one of the three finalists of The Battle For Ozzfest, which aired in 2004 on MTV. I arrived at The Howlin' Wolf, in New Orleans and met with Dave Moscato. For those of you who did watch the show, you'll recognize him as Big Dave, the tour manager. So Dave took me to interview Manntis and they were all very down to earth and cool guys. I stuck around for their show and they put on one hell of a live show. I won't be surprised if they blow up in the next year, these guys were awesome. They are currently on tour and I recommend going to see them, and if you can't go see them then pick up their new album Sleep In Your Grave which will be released through Century Media Records on June 28th.

Rob Rock - (Rob Rock)

One of all my all-time favorite singers, Rob Rock has just released his third solo effort. Holy Hell! Don't know 'bout you, but all I could say after the first listening session was Holy shit! An amazing release from a charismatic artist with so much to say! Welcome Rob!
