interview

Thomas Muster - (Shakra)

April 27, 2009

By the time that you will read this interview, SHAKRA's brand new album will have already been released. Before that, I grabbed the chance to talk with Thomas Muster, getting ready for being on the road again, and hear his opinion about Everest and not only.

Johnny Gioeli - (Hardline)

April 17, 2009

It took them seven years to release something new and, yes, we are dealing with a very good comeback album here. So, with the upcoming release of their third album, Leaving The End Open, I had the chance to speak with HARDLINE's voice Johnny Gioeli and kinda retrieve more info. Johnny, in a happy mood, was eager to answer to my questions and here is everything in detail...

interview

Joel Carlsson - (Covered Call)

April 12, 2009

COVERED CALL is one of the growing number of Hard Rock bands in Scandinavia that draws equally from 80's Metal and 70's Hard Rock for influence. Their lead singer also sang on CANDLEMASS' underrated Chapter VI album. Their new release, entitled Money Never Sleeps, was released earlier this year. Don't let the cover fool you, this isn't Japanese pop-techno-Rock, the influences mentioned in the interview are definitely present. Guitarist Joel Carlsson was kind enough to answer a few questions that I had about the band.

interview

Stephan Forte - (Adagio)

April 5, 2009

ADAGIO's latest album Archangels In Black made a very good impression to me. So, it was a nice opportunity to have a mail interview with Stephan Forte, guitarist and founder of the band, to chat about the band's new and darker direction, their new album and the near future of ADAGIO. And I really like that he didn't hum and haw!

interview

Lars Chriss - (Lion's Share)

April 5, 2009

I was thrilled with 2007's Emotional Coma CD; still, would never imagine my favorite LION'S SHARE album was yet to come. That's the main reason - I confess - another conversation with the Swedish band's mastermind, Lars Chriss, was a 'must'. You're welcome to read below in what ways Dark Hours can be extremely harmful for your me(n)tal health.

interview

JJ Rockford - (VII Gates)

March 29, 2009

JJ Rockford did answer to METAL TEMPLE's questions about the latest VII GATES album despite the fact he is no longer part of the band. So, let us see what he had to say.

interview

Nate LeGault-Roth, Pat Regnier - (Endyium)

March 14, 2009

If I lived in the (wider) Ottawa area I'd surely apply for the drummer's position in ENDYIUM. Solid classic Heavy Metal with an honest approach and some really thumbs up! songlist; what more should I need? ENDYIUM just released their first full-length album, entitled Eye Of The Storm, and Nate LeGault-Roth (lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars) with Pat Regnier (lead & rhythm guitars) proved to be decent, humble and down-to-earth guys who are already grateful for any success may coming the band's way - I'd start with the approval for good Metal music from the heart.

interview

Stefano Venuto - (Last Warning)

March 8, 2009

Those who are -instead- looking for emotions and good melodies mixed with some genuine Heavy Metal will play it safe with Throughout Time - that said by LAST WARNING's bassist, Stefano Venuto. The Italian sextet's new album is a very good mix of strong melodies and impressive instrumentation, both stepping on a metallic layer. Friends of QUEENSRYCHE, CRIMSON GLORY and FATES WARNING should grab the chance and 'dig' more into this band, I think.

February 15, 2009

interview

Bruce Turgon - (Places Of Power)

February 8, 2009

PLACES OF POWER is a collaboration between Bruce Turgon (FOREIGNER, SHADOW KING, Lou Gramm, PRISM, WARRIOR) and Philip Bardowell (UNRULY CHILD, MAGDALEN) that will make many melodic Rock/AOR fans happy worldwide. Both with solo efforts in the recent past, Bruce and Philip decided to join forces and the result is Places Of Power, a remarkable piece of melodic music that shall not let you down by any means. A good start for 2009, indeed!

Giovanni "Gio" Berserk - (The Modern Age Slavery)

January 3, 2009

Death Metal was never a simple thing. It's musical specialness was always something that kept it back of the stage and it's bands carrying the underground label more than any other metal bands. But what happens when a new band appears and shows the ability to marry the traditional pure brutal sounds with an alloy of a few great modern elements? THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY and Giovanni are here to explain us how they became an honest yet stylish proof that Death Metal never expires.

interview

Robert Rodrigo - (Airless)

January 3, 2009

AIRLESS is a band from Spain which counts eight years of existence. In their country it seems that they enjoy publicity and hopefully the new album will help them go further. Fight is the title of their third album and was the motive to contact them and have a chat. By going through this conversation, one can assume that Fight could also be the title of this interview.

interview

Steve Hochheiser - (Detente)

December 28, 2008

The Thrash Metal scene left a huge legacy. Modern extreme metal bands still pay homage with their music to the pioneers who cleared new paths in music in the early 80s. It was not an easy thing to do in the US. Glam/Hair metal ruled the airwaves and not even the popular european heavy metal bands couldn't easily survive, especially in LA. But the early thrash bands had the nerve, the balls (huge balls the size of a mountain) and the passion to stand their ground and deliver the most extreme, angry, dark music the world had ever seen. DETENTE was one of those bands. Even if they managed to release only one album, they were one of the very few that sponsored a female vocalist. With lyrics drawn from politics and aggression against the status quo, much like punk did in the UK, DETENTE set some standards that are still being followed after more than two decades. Recently they came back together and re-released their debut Recognize No Authority and a compilation of their old demos titled History 1. We contacted their bassist, compose and founding member, Steve Hochheiser to have a talk about their past, their present and their future.

Michel Isberg - (Machinery)

December 21, 2008

Stockholm based MACHINERY just recorded a promo video for Cold, the opening track of latest release The Passing. In order to get some information about the video and to catch up what's been going on around MACHINERY lately, METAL TEMPLE scheduled a meeting with the band that went from a not very serious rehearsal to a nice conversation with vocalist Michel Isberg.

interview

Thomas Josefsson - (Evocation)

December 12, 2008

Lately I have noticed that we have many nice old school Death Metal albums coming out, and most of them come from the Swedish market. The fact is that after titans like ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER and GRAVE, I didn't expect EVOCATION to come out of the blue and present a Death Metal masterpiece like Dead Calm Chaos. The band's vocalist Thomas was kind enough to answer some questions and explain the reason why EVOCATION were lost all these years.
