Satan – Conjuring Magic

effort into what we were writing about. Half of the album is recorded live- and if listeners listen carefully, especially if they are musicians, they will hear that we left a few mistakes in there on the recording because we wanted that feeling of it just being played. Basically this is how we recorded Court in the Act – it was such a low budget album, basically if we could play the song from start to finish and if it hadn’t fallen apart, that wa…

Null’O’Zero – All For Metal

…may even bridge things for people into Avenged Sevenfold. Reaching out via Skype to drummer Lefteris Moros and guitarist Ilias Andritsos, you’ll learn more about the history of the group, specific lineup changes that caused delays in future output, their thoughts on opening for an iconic group like Accept in their home country, plus thoughts on how they handle the work/music balance. Dead Rhetoric: Null’O’Zero started in 2012 – what can you tell u…

Primal Fear – Soaring into an Apocalypse

…rce, potent vocal melodies that reach for the sky or cause spontaneous sing-a-long, head banging action. Remembering the revival of more melodic bands that started in those late 90’s with the self-titled Primal Fear record, it’s awesome to see the band stronger than ever on the record/tour front two decades later. Let’s catch up with Mat about business within the Primal Fear camp, a little talk regarding Sinner and his Rock Meets Classic duties, a…

Obscura – Completing the Story

…ura at their strongest, from a creativity standpoint. We grabbed mainman Steffen Kummerer for a round of conversation on Skype just prior to the album’s release date to discuss putting the finishing touches to this cycle and what’s next, his interest in astrophysics and philosophy, and some further discussion of U.S. visa issues. Dead Rhetoric: Diluvium completes the 4-album cycle. How do you feel that it ties things up? Steffen Kummerer: First of…

Powerwolf – Iron-Willed Sacrament

…nything, you don’t see stage props. The main approach is to write good sing-a-longs, write heavy metal songs, and the second part is to deliver this on stage with good lights, fire, etc. with an interaction between every band member and the audience. We enjoy it at every show – if we didn’t enjoy it, then it would be our last show. Dead Rhetoric: Following the World Cup proceedings, how disappointing is it to see the former champions Germany not m…

Ripe – The Rebirth of Litany

…conveyed when you sing (things). I don’t have a particular time of day I prefer- at least after midday. If it’s too early, I need coffee and books and gruppiness in the morning. What I need the most in the studio is actually positivity. I can’t work with people who are angry at me and think that this will make me perform better. It makes me angry and perform less than well because I’m more concerned with the things that annoy me. A good laugh help…

Boon – Go with the Flow

…-20 years. He plays in a drum band, dramatic theater that is Blue Man Group-ish- they tour all over the world. We are stepping into that, we have not put any limits to our music and we don’t want to put any limits to our plans. If the possibilities arise, we will be there to take them. There is a certain level you can reach by doing things yourself, but then you need some support by touring agencies, booking agencies, labels, distribution to get t…

Espionage – Dictating the Future

…uzka: The first EP, which we now call a demo because it was poorly recorded- it was a self-titled four track offering that I did all at home. I have my own audio interface set up at home- even now for this latest album I recorded all the guitars and bass at home. I think the vocals we did at a high school/university where there was some music course, but that didn’t turn out too well. Drums were programmed from memory, so we just used computers to…

Nils Patrik Johansson – Sacred Metalhead

…surely I think something will come. He has talked to me about doing some re-recordings of the older Wuthering Heights albums before I enjoyed the band, with me on vocals. Something will happen, that’s for sure. Dead Rhetoric: How do you feel about social media in terms of pushing your craft – do you believe it’s as important today as face to face, hand to hand interaction and how much do you engage in these platforms? Johnasson: Of course I have t…

Stevie McLaughlin – Tasteful Empires

…o I feel like I don’t? Do I want to spend time with my family? That is my definition of success today- to have that level of freedom. When I was younger it was more the Steve Vai- guitar hero type thing. I don’t even think I have the personality to attempt something like that. Dead Rhetoric: What’s next on the agenda for Stevie McLaughlin? Would you ever consider showcasing this material in a live setting, and if so do you know the players you wou…
