I am really proud that today we can introduce you interview with Kirk Matthews. He is blending Southwestern style with Americana sound, creating something unique in today’s vast musical landscape. With semblances that evoke traces of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Kris Kristofferson and at times Leonard Cohen. Matthews’ sound is steeped in timeless storytelling and soothing melodies. Having spent a better part of this past decade as a songwriter / producer in Los Angeles, Matthews has a list of award-winning collaborations in the music business and is now stretching his musical wings by stepping into the light as an artist. At 31 December 2020 Kirk has released his new album ‘The color of rust’. Really amazing work! Additionally, I want to talk about the other project of Kirk, which really impressed me: The podcast “Keeping your dreams alive” hosted by Ceekay Jones with different and very interesting guests. And as with all impressing persons, Kirk’s tattoos are impressing too. - Details

Julien Kidam is vocalist and songwriter of French Electro Industrial Metal band CHEMICAL SWEET KID and during the last year the band was very productive.

We have planned the interview with Julien already last year, but it was postponed each time because of Covid-19. Our original plan was to meet during the PROJECT PITCHFORK German tour where CHEMICAL SWEET KID was planned to be special guest. But we needed to adapt our planes to new reality… - Details

Our guest today is Zufo from the Electro / Industrial Metal band from Spain with German lyrics, HASSWUT. In march, the band has released their last album ‘Atomkrieg’, at the same time the lock down started... So, the band is working on new music now. And we have used this time to speak about the tattoos.Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time until you decided to get it done?
Zufo: It was around seven years ago. I always admired tattoo artists but I was afraid of needles and blood. Once my wife told me to tattoo something together (each one a different tattoo). There I realize needles don’t kill you and blood is just part of the process. Sometimes I get dizzy when a see some blood when I´m having my tattoos done but am getting used to it.
