Epica recently released another fine album in a line of fine albums. Their new "Requiem For The Indifferent" is, as expected, a dynamic journey through various landscapes in the vein of Epica.

Melechesh - Destiny

Five albums in and we thought it was due time to find out what's the driving force behind the creation of the new album "The Epigenesis" and other topics. Deathster4life and Roy Kristensen wrote to Ashmedi to find out why he had to be nude while doing the vocals.

Perdition Temple - Darkness, Ruin and Abomination

USA's Perdition Temple formed in 2008, after the demise of mighty Angelcorpse (but yes, Angelcorpse continue in the form of Perdition Temple). The band is just one album old (Gene did all guitars/bass/vocals and Terry Eleftheriou did the drum works for the record) but there should be no need for an introduction to a band like Perdition Temple. The members have been around for so long already. Ebby Sasi (of Slaying Tongue blog) decided to ask Gene Palubicki (also in Apocalypse Command, Blasphemic Cruelty) some questions about his whole career, and Imhotep republish this post by kind permission.

Slagmaur 3/3 - …horror…

A much discussed band that creates untraditional black metal. It is eerie, it is evil, it is dark and every sign of joy disappears to the rhythm of the music.

Atheist - Outer World Tech Rising

After reuniting for a series of shows in North America and foreign lands, the legions demand a new studio record from vocalist Kelly Shafer, drummer Steve Flynn and their compatriots. Enter "Jupiter", an 8 song tour de force that makes the long hiatus between albums seem like a minute blip on the radar screen. We feel it’s only natural to probe Kelly with questions to give the readers a fuller sense of what Atheist intend to accomplish in this second go around for world dominance.

Aborym - Darkness

Last year's "Psychogrotesque" is an album full of surprises. It is disturbing, varied and it's an album that demands patience. Roy Kristensen got in touch with the band and Fabban, H:I0:K and Norwegian drummer Faust replied to our inquisition.

The vocalist of Primordial is one who knows his metal. His knowledge is a true legend in Bergen, since he’s won the quiz’ during Hole In The Sky festivals. He DJ’s, he sings and he prefer vinyls.
