interview
Giannis Britsas - (Crimson Fire)
September 15, 2021
Melody always wins, but the question is if whether changes can also grant a win. There are always risks taken when going through a change, especially in Metal music, and in particular, who is your target audience. There are those who state that a change, even minor, is imperative in order to continue a band's longevity, surviving the test of time. Nonetheless, there have been examples of changes that were ample destruction. The Greek Crimson Fire, took a chance, soften a little bit their traditional Metal efforts and created a hybrid. Steinmetal had a talk with vocalist, Giannis Britsas about the band's new album "Another Dimension", which marks a new musical era for the band. Would it survive or continue, tune in.

Mårten Hansen - (This Ending)
July 26, 2021
Egoism might get one killed, as if this phrase matches the curiosity that killed the cat. Actually, it is not the same, as the former is the harsher reality and could eventually lead into a gloomier future that mankind might never come back from. It starts with the people, the ones that aren't willing to let go of their own interests. And when these folks have the power, it might mean doom for the surrounding rest. The coming back to action band, This Ending, made it clear that the danger is evident, it is there to consume us if measures wouldn't be taken into the account. With the release of "Needles Of Rust", Steinmetal had a good talk with Mårten Hansen, as the latter told the story of the album, his own vision of society and his inspirations.

The understanding between peoples, a task that has always been a challenging process, to find that angle that can gather people together, other than drowning the mud of endless fighting.

Frank Thoms - (Accuser)
November 2, 2020
People are people, and history never forgets, however, with so much to learn, there are those who aren't willing to listen, to understand or to learn from past mistakes. No matter the number of songs written against what mankind stands for in its darker form, people will go on their way, knowing what to do best, whether to accept that a change is needed or simply ignore and move on. The German Accuser, strictly by their moniker only, have been telling it to folks right in the face, the brutal truth. With their 12

album, "Accuser", out and about, Steinmetal had the annual chat with Frank Thoms, founder of the band, about what pisses him off, Covid, the musicality of the new album, a return of a friend and more…

Mikael Torseth - (Keiser)
October 31, 2020
Trying to find positivity in an ocean of bleakness and negativity, now that is quite the challenge to even accept to begin with. However, some argue that the measure of conflict, or war that can be stated, actually brings out something that can be rendered as positive, like peace, or at least temporary peace that can last long. Mankind proved that its existence is an actual task on its own, to have society sustain itself without crumbling. The Norwegian Keiser's new album, " Our Wretched Demise", creates a universe for the listener to understand where positivity is, and it is quite interesting. Steinmetal talked to Mikael Torseth of the band about the new album, the concept within it and the band's musical influences and export that contributed to the album's diversity.
