Interviews
Tad Morose
|
I had a nice chat with Christer "Krunt" Andersson, guitarist and founder of the Swedish heavy power metal band Tad Morose, and we talked about their ten years absence from the metal scene as well as their last album; the solid Revenant.
Luigi: Hi Christer. So, Modus Vivendi (ed. the band's last album before Revenant) was released back in 2003. Can you reveal us the reasons of this ten years hiatus?
Christer: It was pretty much due to all the line-up changes: first Urban left the band - or got fired, depending on how you like that, and then we came to the point where we couldn't work together anymore, so we just had to go separate ways. Of course, that set us back quite some time, until we could find the new singer. During those ten years, guitar players came and left, often due to personal issues. Some members left because they had to move to other cities due to work obligations, some perhaps left because not much was happening at the time. But, it's nice to have a line-up and to be back in the game again.

Unisonic
|
Michael Kiske, the man really doesn't need any introduction. While his fame undoubtedly came from being the vocalist of Helloween, he was by far no slouch ever since he left the band in 1993 (!) and contributed to many projects over the years. Now, some twenty years, he once again fronts a band (Unisonic) and since his side project Place Vendome just released their third album, we were able to catch up with him and talk about all things Michael Kiske.
Birgit: Place Vendome was founded in 2004 by Serafino Perugino (Frontier Records) and there are so many cooks in the kitchen as far as song writing goes. Do you believe this is positive or negative as far as the sound of the project?

Battlecross

Battecross, who just finished their tour with Death Angel and 3 Inches Of Blood among others, barely made it to the show in Denver, CO a couple weeks back.
Once again plagued by issues with their trailer, the band showed up roughly 10 minutes before they were about to hit the stage, so we conducted an interview with guitarist Hiran after their set - and during Death Angel's line check nevertheless.

Leprous
|
Recorded after the gig at Club Tapper, Tallinn, Estonia, 23.09.2013
We were supposed to do the interview at lunch time, just after the supposed arrival time. However, the band turned up only 15 minutes before the venue opening time and it was a busy time. Luckily I managed to get hold of the band after the show.
You're in the middle of the first leg of your European tour. How's it going so far?
ES: It's going very well. This is kind of the experimental part of the tour where we're trying out places where we didn't do any headliner shows before, mostly. So, it's a bit more "Whoo!" with attendances because it's places we don't know how the response is. Some places have been very, very good and others have been... less good. Especially some places in Norway. I think we'll skip next time. (Laughs.) We had a bit too many places in Norway. But except for that it's going very, very nice.
