interviews

THE MILESTONES

Hailing from Finland, classic rockers The Milestones are kicking out an audacious slice of southern inspired hard rock that shames countless American acts.  We caught up with the band to discuss their third album 'Devil In Me' as well as the bands history and future.

DREYELANDS

Having releases a truly cracking debut album in 'Rooms Of Revelation', melodic progressive metallers Dreyelands are picking up a major buzz on the scene.  We caught up with guitarist András Ádám Horváth to discuss the new album and more.

JOHN 5 - THE ART OF MALICE

Mike Blackburn takes his first stab at a John 5 album, his new album is equal parts maniac country and crunchy riff infused shred. Find out what Mike thinks as he breaks his John 5 cherry as it where.

WHEELS OF FIRE - HOLLYWOOD ROCKS

The album title really is a good indication of the music on this CD. You’re whisked back to the Strip and the days of hairspray, spandex and colourful guitars. Think Winger rather than Guns n Roses though, Firehouse rather than LA Guns. The production follows suit and is lively and crisp.  Sancho delves in.

RAY RIENDEAU - ATMOSPHERES

Atmospheres is the latest and definitely the greatest from the Arizona based bottom end behemoth. Many of you will best remember Ray as the bass player in the Halford band. That is the last time that will be mentioned here because this album aligns far more with the gods of fusion bass than with any metal god.

STATE COWS - STATE COWS

It normally takes a lot to offend Sancho and State Cows have done just that here.  Find out why.

KIKO LOUREIRO - FULL BLAST

Third solo album from the Angra guitarist and features instrumental must have drummer Mike Terrana.  Previous solo albums from Kiko have delivered a not very accessible sound yet "Full Blast" goes someway to readdressing the balance delivering a stronger more structured approach and its pays dividends as a result.
 

PANGEA

For such a small country Denmark has produced a fine collection of rock and metal acts. One band that looked to be about to break into the countries metal elite in the mid 90's was Pangea. Led by vocalist/guitarist Torben Lysholm the band produced two well received albums of hard rock with wow guitar, then the band went through a torrent of problems before calling it quits. The band reformed to complete their long thought lost third album and are now ready to go at it again with their excellent new album "Retrospectacular" out now on Lion Music.

 MATTSSON

One of the best hard rock bands from the 80's have been keeping the deal real on the live circuit the last few years and we now get the highly anticipated new studio album 'Facemelter'.  We caught up with two of the band to discuss the bands rejuvenation and the new album...plus much more.
