Interview withPaavo Lotjonen (cello) of Apocalyptica
Reinventing Classical Metal: An interview with Paavo of APOCALYPTICA about their new album, ‘7th Symphony’. APOCALYPTICA has been a unique band from the start ever since they began covering METALLICA songs from their debut album. Since then they’ve slowly stepped away from covers and found new ways to create ‘heavy metal’ sounds with their cellos while adding other elements such as guest vocals and drums. Now, it’s 2010 and the band’s latest album, ‘7th Symphony’, is their most progressive and eclectic to date.

Interview with Jeff Fabbs (drums) of In This Moment
IN THIS MOMENT has become one of the hottest Metalcore bands since their debut, ‘Beautiful Tragedy’, set out in 2005. Featuring an outspoken front woman, the idea of “females and metal” was once again turned on its head as Maria Brink set a new standard for singers and growlstesses alike. Behind her vicious attitude is a line up of very talented musicians, one of them being the one-and-only Jeff Fabb who was kind enough to share some information on their latest album set for release in July. Compared to everything else, ‘A Star-crossed Wasteland’ redefines everything that IN THIS MOMENT has done so far…
