Interview withRichard Mentzer (drums) of Manimal
‘The Darkest Room’ is the title of MANIMAL’s debut full-length, released on German label AFM Records and the critical reception so far has been generally positive. We thought it might be a good idea to dig a little more under the surface of MANIMAL and forced drummer Richard Mentzer to answer our questions.

Interview withSteven Juliano (vocals) of I Am Ghost
Los Angeles based dark-rock group, I AM GHOST, resonated from Long Beach, California and was conceived and founded by front man and vocalist Steven Juliano in 2004. Little did he himself realize what his idea of formatting a band and making a fun idea out of it would lead too? How about a quick signing to Epitaph Records causing a major uproar leading off to an EP, and two LPs to get their name out the door. After various line-up changes over the years and 2007 had struck, Steve Juliano (vocals) along with Timoteo Rosales III (guitars), Ron Ficarro (bass) and Justin McCarthy (drums) had re-formed the band's direction and sound returning to a much more raw and powerful intensity that has inspired them to making music in the first place.

Interview withJ (Costa) of Thy Will Be Done
When it comes to the term “champion” what can be said about it? What indeed makes a real champion? Who can become one? Does it only relate to sporting events or can it expand into other categories such as music? In this case it does for these upcoming metallers known to the music world as THY WILL BE DONE; the music they’ve accomplished to create and call their own makes the music that more enjoyable. Vocalist J Costa spoke to me about how the band got into music along with the formation and their newest album that’s out and about along with their current touring plans and future plans altogether. This is an act that will be hard to follow up on and shall not be one missing out on either…

Interview withThomas Adam (keyboards, lyrics) of De/Vision
The German synth-pop band DE/VISION has released a lot of albums and meant a lot to the development of the electro-pop music. The band played at the Arvika festival for the first time in 1996 and I think a lot of people were happy to see them here again. During the time when I was to meet Thomas Adam and do the interview it was raining buckets outside and well I had to run into the rain to get to the tent where the band was relaxing before the show.

Be sure to pray for forgiveness after reading this interview because it may be your last. Vocalist and front man Dez of heavy metallers DEVILDRIVER managed to catch me at missing our schedule appointment earlier that evening out at the second day of the second annual Thrash and Burn Tour. He spoke to me about the band’s musical career to life out on the road, down to what the upcoming plans for the almighty Devils plans to be. You get it all when you sit down and read this rather interesting conversation…
