Kylesa
|
Kylesa is currently on an amazing US/Canada tour with Blood Ceremony, White Hills, and Lazer/Wulf. They hit San Francisco last week and I had a chance to meet with band founders Phillip Cope and Laura Pleasants to discuss the incredible new album, Ultraviolet, their processes as musicians, and what kinds of books are the best reads on tour. Interviews like this, where you can get to know the musician AND the person, are so rewarding. The night was made that much better by the kick ass show that followed. All 4 bands were absolutely incredible. The tour continues through the end of June so check the schedule and do not miss this if you can!

Turisas
|
Turisas is currently wrapping up an epic North American tour with Firewind and Stolen Babies. I caught up with the band before their Seattle show and had the pleasure of speaking with guitar player Jussi Wickström.
Susan: How's the tour going with Firewind and Stolen Babies?
Jussi: It's been good. We have been on this tour for 2 weeks now I think? It's been really good. We started in Florida, which is maybe a bit more challenging. In Florida there's usually not that many people at shows but it's been really good, all the shows have been quite OK.

Maudlin
|
A few months back I reviewed an excellent album: Maudlin - A Sign Of Time. Their psychedelic brand of post/sludge/bluesy metal definitely stayed on my playlist long after the review when up. After letting this album really digest, I was excited at the opportunity to interview the band. Given our busy schedules at the time we opted for an email interview. Below, Davy De Schrooder (vocals, keys, samples, lyrics, artwork) answers my questions about the band and their music, their love of vintage instruments, the guys' annual trip to Roadburn, and much more.

Subrosa
|
Back in April, Subrosa did a short tour of a few US cities while in the middle of recording their newest album. I had the privilege of meeting the band for a long interview and chat where we discussed their recording of and what to expect from the upcoming album, their incredible sources of lyrical inspiration, and much more. We started with what ended up being quite an in-depth retrospective on the band's history. I wanted to hear their story as well as learn about the Salt Lake City metal scene, of which I knew very little about. This chat is with the whole band minus their drummer Andy, who had run back to the van to grab some supplies.

Ensiferum
|
Ensiferum, who headlined the recent Paganfest here in North America, had their first appearance in Denver after an almost five year hiatus. Before the show we had a nice little chat with bassist Sami Hinkka but unfortunately the location we selected was not available and we ended up staying inside the venue right after doors opened. My apologies for the background noise.
In addition, you can find the review of their Denver performance right here.
