Interview with

Tony Kakko (vocals, keyboards) from Sonata Arctica

To introduce SONATA ARCTICA to any reader of metal related reviews/ interviews would be like introducing a penguin to snow. The power metal band from Finland is well-known and mostly well received in the metal scene and in 2014 they celebrate their 15th year in metal. A new album is on the way too, enough reasons to ask the mastermind Tony Kakko a few questions.

Interview with

Jeremy Inkel (keyboards, programming) from Front Line Assembly

After the show of FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY on M’era Luna Festival I have understand that me and my friends have too many questions to the band to leave them simply without answers. I was really happy that I got the possibility to make an interview with the band on their show in Frankfurt last August. I was as nervous before this interview as never before. It was sad for me that it was not possible to speak with Bill Leeb, but the interview with Jeremy Inkel was a really great time for me.

Interview with

Alexx Wesselsky (Vocals), Noel Pix (Guitar, Producer) and Rupert Keplinger (Bass) from Eisbrecher - An interview with a prologue and an epilogue.

I started listening to EISBRECHER in 2004, when the Internet wasn’t so widespread in our town and every CD you managed to get was precious. And I was lucky to get ‘Eisbrecher’. Of course, I like ‘Die Hölle muss warten’ and other albums but the band’s debut album is still the best, maybe because it was the first. So I was nervous about the interview: it took me several days to prepare questions, which were totally criticized by a good friend of mine and also a fan of the band. As a result I had to make other questions, easy and more suitable for the situation. The interview and mostly a conversation turned to be a bit messy, slightly chaotic and sometimes funny. So please read and enjoy!

Interview with

Janne "JB" Christoffersson (guitar/ vocals) of Grand Magus

GRAND MAGUS from Sweden, formed in 1996 under the name SMAK, play heavy metal with doom elements and classic rock influences. In these days their seventh studio album is released and the heavy metal scene is holding his breath again because the last three records really showed many bands the ropes. The release of the new record ‘Triumph and Power’ is reason enough for us to engage JB into a little Q&A game…
