Interviews
\r\nLast Friday www.metalzone.gr had the pleasure of talking to one of the few lasting true metallers who are still Alive And Kicking and still amaze us and show us how much a young musician can learn through the experienced eyes of an 80s guitarist. We talked with former guitarist of Virgin Steele, Jack Starr, a guitarist a true star, by name but also by broadness of mind and talent.
Pamela Moore, widely known as “Sister Mary”, released her personal album round a year ago, so I took the chance of asking her about it and, of course, about the experience of working with Queensryche again. Pamela talked about several things regarding her collaboration with the band, shared with us some moments and memories, and introduced us to “Stories from a blue room”. \r\n
\r\nMetalzone: Pamela, your last tour with Queensryche was pretty extensive, meaning you had to travel and play in a different city almost every day.
Blackmass is a well-known Black metal band from South Brazil. The band was formed in 2001 by the infernal warrior Lord Aeshma and Magus Dux Adramelech joined the horde as the vocalist in January 2002 and eventually became a permanent member of the band. After two EPs "Diabolical Ritual" in 2002 and "Episcolum, Servo Servorum Satanii" in 2003 they released their first full length album in 2005 entitled "Gloria Diaboli".
\r\nCrimson Fire is a band that attracted lots of fans due to their amazing live performances, the lyricism of their songs and the astonishing vocals as well. After their very successful gigs in so many clubs, the very impressive cover songs that other bands might hesitate to attempt playing, and after playing as support acts for well known-names such as Heir Apparent and Brocas Helm, they talked to Metalzone about the past, the present and their future plans
\r\n
On the event of EPICA’S live appearances in Greece, Elena Mihailidou and Vasilis Mazaris of Metalzone.gr did a video interview with EPICA’S vocalist Simone Simons.
\r\n
\r\nSimone talks about the experience of playing live for the first time ever in Thessaloniki, and the experience of being part of the first ever March Metal Day which had as a result the creation of a fan club in Greece for the band.
\r\n
\r\nOn the event of tonight’s show with Tarja Turunen, www.metalzone.gr did an interview to infamous drummer Mike Terrana who is touring with the singer.
\r\n
I find it extremely hard to write an introduction about this band, as words might lose their meaning. The only thing I will say is that it feels like there’s a devoted “community” of fans out there that waits, even if it takes years upon years for a new album. Maybe because what they already have given to the fans, is merely unique, and that makes the waiting worth it.

\r\nJeff Lords, bass player and co-founding member of Crimson Glory talked to Metalzone about several things, regarding the past, the present and the future of the band.
Lethal is finally back. The band reformed with Tom Mallicoat (vox), Dave Mc Elfresh (guitars/violins), Eric Cook (guitars),Glen Cook (bass) and Jerry Hartman (drums), and they are ready to rock the world! For those who may not be aware of this band, you should definitely check them out. So far they have released “Arrival”, which was a demo release, two full-length albums, “Programmed” and “Poison Seed”, and the E.P “Your favorite God”.
Anneke Van Giersbergen, ex- Gathering singer and mastermind of Agua de Annique gives exclusive interview to Metalzone.gr.\r\n
\r\nAnneke talks about her departure from the Gathering,\r\nhow her new project is more adapted to her need to keep up with her\r\nfamily and the separate projects she has going on by having full\r\ncontrol over her schedule.
\r\n
Some years after the end of the legendary 80s decade, the heavy metal genre was struggling for new elements and new directions. A very important band that brought many innovations was, with no doubt, Conception. Inspired and technical with amazing vocals and musicianship, gave us brilliant music and a great legacy of inspiration for the newer bands of today, like Kamelot, Evergrey, Nightwish and so many more...
\r\nIngar Amlien, bass player of Conception, talked to Metalzone about this legendary band and his current band as well, Crest of Darkness.
