Interview with

Nick Holmes (vocals) from Paradise Lost

After my recent and very positive review of PARADISE LOST’s latest release, ‘Obsidian’, I wanted to know a bit more about the album that really excited me and some nice guys at Nuclear Blast gave me the chance to ask Nick Holmes a few questions about the album, the writing process and how it feels to promote and release an album during a lockdown the world had never faced before.

Interview with

Ashton Nyte (Solo musician and front man of The Awakening)

Dazzling an audience with nothing but a voice and an acoustic guitar truly is a rare gift. And ASHTON NYTE did just that while supporting WAYNE HUSSEY on his tour on no less than 36 shows in just six weeks where he presented songs from both his projects - THE AWAKENING and ASHTON NYTE - in a wonderfully intimate and intense acoustic setting.

Interview with

Paolo Gregoletto (bass) of Trivium

TRIVIUM’s new album ‘What the Dead Men Say’ is set for release on April 24th 2020 and I was quite excited when Oktober Promotion gave us the chance for an e-mail-interview with songwriter and bassist Paolo Gregoletto.

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: First of all, thanks for making the interview possible. How does it feel to promote an album during a lockdown, without speaking to your interview partners face to face and seeing their reaction?
Paolo: It’s not ideal but we are making the best of the situation and luckily we’ve been able to do all of the things we needed to do for press.

Interview with

Mish (vocals) from Torizon

We journalists got our hands full in times of change and isolation and because I offered my ears and hands to my own Corona Crisis Project, I got more work than usually. Mish of Brisbane’s Rock band TORIZON kindly asked if we could do and interview and of course I could not say no...

Interview with

Elena Alice Fossi (vocals) from Kirlian Camera, Stalingrad Valkyrie and Spectra*Paris

“My social revolt is not winking at any political parties or comfortable positions at all. It’s a total war against the “old modern world”!” Elena Alice Fossi, singer, composer, member of KIRLIAN CAMERA, STALINGRAD VALKYRIE and SPECTRA*PARIS, is indeed a woman of exceptional vocalic power, musical talent but above all of strong views. I had a chance to talk to her about music, the current situation and even politics and one thing is sure - her voice cannot be unheard in the sea of others. While many decide to stay quite or present bland, moderate opinions she chooses to be herself - an individual, uncompromising talent.
