interview

Britta Görtz - (HIRAES)

August 28, 2021

HIRAES are a newly formed melodic Death Metal band from Germany, with four of the five members coming from former melodic Death Metal outfit DAWN OF DISEASE. Armed with vocalist Britta Görtz (ex-CRIPPER, CRITICAL MESS), they released their debut full-length album "Solitary" via Napalm Records. A very good reason for Metal Temple writer Thomas Kumke to talk with Britta about her long way into the melodic Death Metal arena with HIRAES, the creation of the new album, the challenges and opportunities of having two bands, and about many more topics.

Aku Kytölä - (Prestige)

August 23, 2021

Certainly dust removal was at the house, the unveiling of the wicked from that aggressive past that didn't take no for an answer or pitying the prisoners. History surely brings back a lot of its underground heroes straight out of slumber and into the newly found present. The Finnish Thrash Metal band, Prestige, hasn't been for a while, probably a little more than two decades so to speak. Performing here and there, but not creating isn't a sealed in stone comeback. Nonetheless, when they treat with such a record as "Reveal The Ravage", the heat turned up a notch. Steinmetal reconvened once again with Aku Kytölä about his returning to the Thrash Metal roots, alive and well, and with a purpose.

interview

Ivan Viking - (Blacksword)

August 14, 2021

It has always been fascinating of how musicians, and artists, that were in a substantially long hiatus, return to action, at times as if just yesterday they made the decision to rest up. Nonetheless, the energy to perform, to create to be there back in the fold, that sensation deep inside is no doubt amazing. The Russian Blacksword started out nearly two decades ago, released a debut and off they went into thin air. Two years ago, Ivan Viking, the band's founder made the first move to return, gathered up the troops, signed up with an amazing vocalist and "Alive Again" was born. Steinmetal talked with Ivan about signing with a new label, having a Greek starlet vocalist, to create and record again and more…

interview

Roger Kirchner & Erik Stegmaier - (Apophis)

July 22, 2021

There was that season of Dexter with that preacher, the character of Jordan Chase, plainly the guy sewn his belief into people to take what they want when they see it. It is a kind of empowerment that could only lead eventually to death of others as people have to take it, even when it is life. Under the influence of Excess, to be seduced to have everything, now that is sounds sensational at first, but not quite. The returning Death Metallers, Apophis, took advantage to carry their own form of how people are being manipulated with their new album "Excess". Steinmetal had to find out more about their return to action and of course, how exceed "Excess".

Matt Johnsen - (Pharaoh)

June 18, 2021

It is one of those rare cases where an artist, even a traditionalist, would say what many have been keeping under wraps, down in the darkest pits of resolution. Metal music needs to continue growing and influencing, maintaining tradition is a tough break, but spicing it up makes it relevant for the next generation. Sure, nothing is perfect, it is a process like any other, patience and a lot of work are needed. On the other hand, if one's snooze, the others might lose. The US Metal band Pharaoh, and yes it is stated, surprised with their new album, "The Powers That Be", letting everyone in the new age of Traditional Metal born and raised in the US. Steinmetal had an amazing conversation about it with guitarist Matt Johnsen.

Linus (Commander) - (Siniestro)

June 12, 2021

As the 80's were ending and the 90's came, the Swedish Metal scene started to raise its fingers and conquer the world. As a reflex of such phenomena, today the Swedish Metal scene is solid and full of bands of many different genres, from AOR/Glam Metal to extreme Metal. And one fine name is coming from Stockholm: the duet SINIESTRO, a Thrash/Black Metal act with Metal Punk/Punk Rock influences. And as they're releasing their second album, "Vortexx", Metal Temple writer Marcos Garcia had the opportunity to make an interview with them, to talk of many matter concerning their work, their latest release, and even about future plans.

Chris Neighbour, Andy "Jock" Jamieson, Jon Hoare - (Trapped in Purgatory)

June 9, 2021

TRAPPED IN PURGATORY isn't new to the thrash scene, in fact, three-fifths of UK thrash originals Purgatory make up the band, whilst members of the rhythm section hail from metal outfits Fourwaykill and Mercury Rain. These incessant thrash brutalists have previously said of themselves that they were "Baptised in blood, born of necessity; this is not a reformation, this is a rebirth". Don't be fooled, these guys are veterans to the scene and know EXACTLY how to penetrate your thrash-core. The five-piece outfit delightfully treated us greedy thrash guzzlers to their uncompromising and unyielding debut marvel, "Damned Nation". Metal Temple gave the album a hell-raising 10/10 and recognised that the bestial fivesome more than satisfy our ravenous appetite for demonic sonics, spewing their additively heavy stylistic straight from the pits of hell. Metal Temple's staff writer and interviewer, Leanne Evans, had the chance to catch-up with Jon Hoare, Chris Neighbour and Andy "Jock" Jamieson, three out of five of the thrash demons of TIP, to discover the roots of the band, how a thrash masterpiece is created and what's next on the agenda for these maestros of monstrous metal…
