Interview with:
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.

Interview withLord Eibon of Eibon la Furies
Out of the darkness of the British Black Metal scene rises the standard of EIBON LA FURIES to lead the faithful onward to a new golden dawn of Victorian Occult and Jack the Ripper inspired sonic dissonance. Since their first demos several years ago, EIBON LA FURIES have been a fervently independent voice, a prime example being the infamous piano and female vocal cover of DARKTHRONE's classic 'Transylvanian Hunger' which divided the Black Metal world. But fresh from a slot at the prestigious Bloodstock Festival in 2009 the band was signed to Code666 records and now is ready to open the book on a new chapter with the release of their debut 'The Blood of the Realm'. Sean M. Palfrey communes through the ether with Lord Eibon.

Interview withTeufel
At the excellent Summer's End Festival, I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my favourite artists backstage, the infamous TEUFEL from TANZWUT along with his new guitarist Martin! With a fantastic new solo album out 'Absinth' I was eager to find out as much as I could about this icon of medieval rock and found that both guys are a riot to talk to and discovered that Teufel writes poetry, had a hangover and has a cut behind his ear along with a whole lot more...
