Interviews
Given the chance by a DJ set Fernando Ribeiro did in Athens on Ferbuary 26th Vasilis Mazaris and Hellena Mihailidou did an interview with Moonspell’s mainman and talked all about their new upcoming album.
\r\n
\r\nFernando talks about the re releases they did recently, the impact of their previous album and the sound we’ll listen in their new album called Night Eternal. Fernando explains his inspirations on the new album, the vocal lines and his attitude towards composing and expressing the dark side of himself through the music.
\r\n
Vasilis Mazaris and Helena Mihailidou of Metalzone.gr recently conducted an interview with the band that has created a great buzz in the Greek Metal Scene lately called WC!
\r\n
Vasilis Mazaris and Elena Mihailidou of Metalzone.gr recently put Themis from Greek Old School thrashers on Metalzone’s DEATHROW! You see sometimes an interview isn’t enough in order to make someone confess his sins. Sometimes you have to take him to the DEATHROW…
\r\n
\r\nThemis gave a thorough presentation of the band for those who aren’t familiar with the upcoming Greek band, all the information about their latest release, the experience of touring with great bands like Rotting Christ and their feelings about their upcoming tour with Onslaught.
\r\nI wanted this interview for a very long time since it is quite known my affection for this specific Greek band. Kawir one of the first black metal Greek bands has just released their new work "Ophiolatreia". With this occasion the founder and mainman of Kawir, Therthonax (former Mentor, guitar/vocals) accepted our request to discuss about the new album, the band’s plans regarding their live appearances, the upcoming split with Zemial, his other band, Kabeiros and their first forthcoming work and lots of other interesting topics.
After releasing their debut album "Bellowing Sea - Racked by Tempest", which is a pleasant surprise, In Lingua Mortua seems to be a very promising band from the legendary Norway. Metalzone conducted an interview with Lars Fredrik Frøislie (vintage keyboards, bass and vocal). \r\n
\r\nMetalzone: Firstly, I would like to thank you on behalf of metalzone for your time to give us this interview. To begin with, would you like to tell us about your new album? \r\n
Ben Jackson Group, featuring Crimson Glory ‘s guitarist Ben Jackson, after receiving very positive reviews for the albums “ Here I come” and “All Over You”, is working on the 3rd album, “Gold and Dragons” with Crimson Glory members as special guests once more . Metalzone conducted an interview with Ben and let’s see what he told us. \r\n
\r\nMetalzone: Hello Ben. Your new album “Gold and Dragons” is almost finished. Tell us a few things about it. \r\n
Just a few hours before his first perfomance in Greece, the new finnish vocalist of NIGHTRAGE, ANTONY HAMALAINEN gives us an exclusive interview about who he is and his cooperation with the Greek/Swedish Melodic Death band.
\r\n
\r\nHe talks to metalzone about himself and how the core of Nightrage, Marios Iliopoulos trusted him as the new frontman.
\r\nHe tells us about his dream conserning Nightrage and how he plans to contribute to the band.
It seems like a lifetime since the first moment that I listened to his guitar playing and was impressed. Jeff Loomis is currently working on his personal album, soon to be released. Metalzone conducted an interview with him, and he talked about his music, himself, and, of course, about Nevermore. Ladies and gentlemen, here is what he told us: \r\n
\r\nMetalzone: You just returned from Los Angeles, where you played at this year’s NAMM show (National Association of Music Merchants) both Nevermore solos and instrumental stuff from your upcoming personal album.
First time I got acquainted with Shade Empire was back in 2004 with the release of their first full length album Sinthetic. Although I’m not the most diehard fan of symphonic black metal in the world, that album managed to capture my full approval almost immediately. The keyboards play a sovereign role in their music yet they are nothing but mellow or cheesy. Their sound is so energetic and melodic at the same time as a black metal band can be.
\r\nJust before the first Nightrage show in Athens \r\nElena Mihailidou and Vasilis Mazaris of Metalzone.gr had the chance to speak \r\nwith the mastermind of the band Marios Iliopoulos.
