Interview with
Benni Cellini (Cello) of Letzte Instanz
It is the 20th October 2010; still a good 3 hours until the start of the concert; late autumn weather and I was invited to the tour bus. Yes, Benni Cellini has taken some time for me. With open arms and a smile on his lips he comes to meet me. Along the "HEILIG"-Tour I want to ask him some questions. I tell him about my interview idea and realize immediately that he is curious. The word "HEILIG" (holy) inspired me to ask him private things. And so each letter has a particular meaning…

Interview with:
Alan Wilder / Recoil
Alan Wilder aka RECOIL finished his USA, Canada and South America tour successfully and will be back in Europe at the end of November. After touring for nearly half a year performing, Recoil will play his final concert in Budapest at Szikra on the 4th of December. I was lucky enough to have the chance to speak with Mr. Wilder about Recoil's South America tour, about his memories of the famous Exotic Tour '94 - in support of DEPECHE MODE's eighth studio album ‘Songs Of Faith And Devotion’ - and about his plans for the near future. This short but interesting interview was done via electronic mail at the time of the cancellation of the Cordoba 'Event' in Argentina. Alan was very disappointed because he really wanted to do this gig - unfortunately, this whole thing was completely out of his control. You know, he's not just a synth-pop icon but he also has a heart for the fans... Here is the proof.

Mariusz Duda of Lunatic Soul and Riverside
Mariusz Duda is a singer and a bassist from RIVERSIDE, a post-progressive Rock/Metal band from Warsaw that gained recognition with their ‘Reality Dream’ trilogy albums, on which they followed with ‘Anno Domini High Definition’ LP and accompanied DREAM THEATER on the tour as their opening act. Duda has also created a solo project ‘LUNATIC SOUL’ comprising of two albums (for now), which take the listener on a journey that is in his words “an oriental-trans-psychedelic-verbal-musical journey through the pitch darkness available to those who have... a lunatic soul.” During my phone interview with him, Mariusz Duda has discussed the impulses and nature of it as well as matters of RIVERSIDE and several other subjects...

Interview with Ahrue Lustre (guitar) of Ill Nino
ILL NINO continues to use their voices for political and cultural justice! Many know ILL NINO best for their huge emphasis on Spanish culture, using a mix of tribal percussion and Spanish / English lyrics while painting a picture full of hard rock and nu-metal sound. Ever since their debut album ‘Revolucion Revolution,’ they’ve captivated audiences with album after album, each getting progressively better and better. Each album - unlike so many in the music world - has really had something to say, be it political, cultural, or relationship based so everyone who listens to it can feel some sort of connection to the message. On their latest album, ‘Dead New World’, ILL NINO try something a little different, and with a new perspective and new label home, have their strongest lyrical material with a full arsenal of hard rock to deliver to date. I got a chance to discuss the album with Ahrue Luster, who has been with the band as a guitarist since their second album.
