Interview with

Helge Wiegand from Wiegand, T.O.Y. and Diorama

Helge Wiegand is a busy man these days. Apart from working on his album as WIEGAND, he supports two projects on vocals and keyboards - DIORAMA and T.O.Y. Both bands have plenty of work doing recordings for new releases plus they do play concerts. I catch up with Helge on his way home from the writing session which took place in a very special place - at the banks of Rhine River in Cologne, so my very question was about the “Cologne Style of Writing”.

Interview with

Johannes Eckerström (vocals) of Avatar

Swedish Metal band AVATAR are a phenomenon, which is meant to be witnessed during a live show. Their theatrical performance together with their musical prowess is quite something. However, the band from Gothenburg around the charismatic singer Johannes Eckerström have certainly not had the best of luck with their spot on Sunday’s timetable of ROCK AM RING, as they were placed directly against RISE AGAINST, who were pulling the crowds to the main stage in the early evening hours. However, our journalist Christian Beyermann was utterly happy to get the chance to meet a fully costumed Johannes an hour before their gig in the artist’s area of the Nürburgring for an interview.

Interview with

Johnny Hawkins (singer) from Nothing More

Alternative Rock band NOTHING MORE is certainly on top of everyone’s list of proper surprises in case they watched their show at Rock am Ring 2018 on Saturday afternoon. The energy levels the quartet from San Antonio, Texas - and especially the charismatic singer Johnny Hawkins - exude are in a class of their own. Therefore, our journalist Christian Beyermann was very happy to get the chance to meet a visibly relaxed Johnny an hour after his gig in the hermetically sealed artist area at Rock am Ring.
