This was one of the best concerts I had gone to in a very long time. I had never seen IMMOLATION play live, and I must say it was a very intense show. I had the privilege to talk to bass / vocalist Ross.
Interviews
This interview was very hard for me. First of all, SAMAEL is one of my favorite bands and when I worship a band I always get really nervous if I get to meet them, talk to them, etc.…you know what I mean. Anyways, I feel it could have been better but, shit happens. Also, some […]
This interview was a dream come true! In my last issue I had borrowed an interview of King Diamond from HM magazine, but when the opportunity came for me to interview him; I jumped at the moment, and what a moment it was. Here’s a little chat with the King. King D.: Hello, Mike, are […]
I wasn’t sure whether or not to interview this band, due to the fact it contains 2 prior members of El Pecado, so I felt kind of funny doing it for some reason.
Morbid Angel has been a band that has constantly delivered “the goods” when it comes to this style of extreme music. Uniquely crafting and playing one of a kind songs/guitar solos by every guitarists involved, great vocalists (past and present), one of the best drummers in the genre, in short this band has always been a power house super group and a force to be reckoned with in the death metal scene, influencing many, many bands over the years.
When I was having a difficult moment in my life within my family, I was driving along and came across Jason Gray on the radio and his song (Remind me who I am) hit my heart unlike any other song I think ever has.
The band’s philosophy about music: Immolation music is surprisingly memorable and it’s replete with enveloping, twisted, brooding, dark energy. Once you really absorb their albums–especially their last two, the previous “Unholy Cult” and their most recent one, the excellent “Harnessing Ruin”–the sounds within can be surprising.
When I think about Peter’s replies on Satanism, God, money making religions, etc., I see he is no different as I was in my past; a pissed off human angry at the humans who take advantage of others in the name of God (good).
Like a lot of other music as of late, I first discovered Ella on My Space when she sent me an e-mail saying that I might like what she had to offer as a musician; she was right! I love dark, ethereal, and ambient music, especially when it is accompanied by female vocals. If the above description is your “cup of tea,” I suggest you go now and check out what she has to offer on her page! Support the locals yo!!
Dimmu Borgir, whether you like them or not, are a band that all extreme music supporters should know about by now. And if you do not know who this band is, then what rock have you been hiding under?
